    great video! Your comments regarding pro vs dyi equipment id right on. i have a 30 gallon compressor ..and a decent mid range “hvlp” after getting erratic air flow, water vapor, etc. --and horrible results...I finally went to a 5 stage turbine sprayer. dry consistent air -only 9 psi..but 105 CFM. results have been great. I’ve painted two cars using single stage urethane and high solid clear..both fantastic..at least compared with my earlier efforts. I’ll never be as good as you...but your videos-especially your orange peel video have helped me immensely

    This video is really nice to watch! I have a cheap Campbell Hausfeld DIY spray kit that is HVLP(after a lot of research) and I’ve had nothing but problems. Finish is very grainy and always seems to need a lot of polish to look professional. I also upgraded to a 20 gallon compressor and it’s still not quite right. You’re bang on when you mentioned you have to hold the gun closer, otherwise the finish is too thin and even more grainy. Thanks for the vid, I will buy a LVLP for my next project. Home Mechanic

  • @racl1954
    @racl1954 3 года назад +5

    Hi there. I am a bit late to this video. Thanks for all of the information. You have helped me a great deal with what you have shared. I mainly spray nitrocellulose lacquer and paint on guitars and furniture that I make. Your tips and tricks in your videos have definitely made me a better sprayer. Thank you.
    I wanted to point out that your advice here not to get HVLP guns for home use should be aimed more at those who may be considering spraying a car or larger objects.
    If you consider the midi and mini size guns for smaller projects this doesn't apply. I have a small SIP T3/25D compressor at my home that is only 25 Ltr = 5.5 Gallon and runs at about 5.5 CFM. This is fine for the smaller HVLP guns like the A.N.I. R150 and R160 that I have. ( I bought the A.N.I. guns from Sprayguns Direct after your reviews and demonstrations ). I also have Walcom Slim STM's and SATA Minijets. These are all HVLP. They lay the paint and clear on like glass and don't require a large compressor. For the home user that don't need to spray large objects like a complete car any of these would be fine.
    I have found the smaller Walcom, A.N.I. and SATA Minijets to be very versatile and as you know from your demo's with the A.N.I. midi size guns they can do car panels and give pro results if you know what you are doing, as you do.
    I agree with you regarding the full size guns. I have a Devilbiss GTI suction fed and a SATA LM2000B RP that I use with an old Ingersol Rand belt drive compressor that runs at about 15 CFM. Works great with the larger guns. Like you, for the larger guns I prefer the feel of the RP cap for the SATA LM and the Transtech cap for the GTI. I do have the HVLP caps for both but I definitely prefer the feel and finish I get with the RP and the Transtech. I don't see that there is much of an advantage with compressor requirements as setups for both guns require the around the same level of air displacement.
    If I were to choose to keep one compressor for spraying it would be the Ingersol Rand. I got the smaller compressor as it is portable and I sometimes use it with my airtools around the home. It was a bonus that it could drive the smaller spray guns without the compressor straining.
    Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and experience. It really is much appreciated.

  • @mitchellferre1652
    @mitchellferre1652 6 лет назад +8

    HVLP guns caused a lot of trouble for me for many years, mostly due to a smaller air compressor. I prefer RP technology as well. For less experienced painters and DIY guys it's RP guns all the way. My advice to them is get a good RP gun and learn to mix up just enough material to minimize waste. This is where you have the most control over overall efficiency until you have mastered the trade. I wish I had watched this vid 20yrs ago ! Thanks Gunman ! 👍

    I like my Iwata ls400 supernova. Mainly because I'm a aircraft mechanic but I do a lot of small parts painting on aircraft parts hanging on racks. We shoot single stage urethane paints. With Sherman Williams mil spec and super Koropon as a primer. The gun lays Koropon wonderfully and when I have to needle down to shoot inside bores and such it works wonderfully. I like my hvlp gun because it blows the small little dainty parts around less when you're trying to hold them still with safety wire. HVLP guns serve their purpose but they aren't for everyone. The only issue I ever seem to have a problem with is trying to get it to lay mil spec primer nicely.

    • @leesanders6490
      @leesanders6490 3 года назад

      @@dewaynebraley2820 They usually come with a medium tip good for lacquers, primers, epoxies, urethanes and clear coats. There are 3 tip sizes good for everything from shellacs up to house paints. It's a siphon feed gun. I shoot base coats and clear with the medium tip. I have shot hundreds of cars over the last 36 years with the same gun I own now. I've been using a Binks #7 since I started custom painting in 1976. The gun will shoot all sizes of metal flake also. Look for a used one that's been kept clean on ebay to save some money. They don't wear out so a rebuild kit will usually get them going like new. Hope this helps.

      @crossfiregaming9541 6 лет назад

      The Gunman Yeah the gunman I love my LVLP's I swear it gives such a great finish. I want to send you one to do a review on. You might have seen them or heard of them a bit. ATOM X Line? I've got the X20 MP LVLP and about to pre-order the X27 MP LVLP which is actually a clone of the Sata 5000 except the air valve is in a different spot or so I heard atleast. Tony from learn auto body and paint channel promotes them and for the price they definitely seem like a well made quality gun to me but I've never owned or even held a devilbiss pro-lite or anything else considered top notch guns. I did get to hold and feel the Walcom Genesis Carbino and loved the way that trigger felt but that's it. It would be sweet to see you spray with them guns and see what you think of the price vs. Quality and the finishes you can get with them. I basically learned spraying with these guns well actually still learning only been painting 6 months or so now. Mainly the same cars panels like 8 different times haha damn Honda Accord 2009 with Alabaster Silver Metallic one hell of a color to learn how to not only paint but learn body work for my first time. Haha

    This is an excellent video. I always sought out a HVLP with some of it attributed to that thinking "this is new so its better" but also because I tried to understand that it meant better transfer efficiency and so I assumed as a DIY/hobby guy i would be spending less money on paint. I think this is kind of a false assumption on my part because if i only paint 1 car a year how much paint and money will i really save? Also saving air is probably more important as I only have a 60 gallon home shop type compressor.

    Hi Gunman, love your videos and reviews. I bought an FLG 4 last week, HVLP as you know, with the 3 tips. it was chosen based on quality, price ($400), and availability here in Canada. Choices limited. I have watched most of your videos and reviews on the gun, and HVLP in general and after some research found Devilbiss Dv690000 Flg-1-1 Air Cap no. 1 which is listed as a standard cap for my gun. Can you comment on your experience with it or perhaps let me know if you have done a review of the air cap? I will be ordering it in the next couple of weeks and was hoping it would help me as a DIYer. I have a 60 gallon compressor with specs that are just a bit better than minimum recommended for the hvlp gun. Any advise would be appreciated.
    Also do you know of any other tips that may fit the gun from your experience?
    Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. Keep up the excellent work.

    Gunny m8 here in Europe we have to use hvlp and to be honest we've never had atomisation issues ,However for those at home the big plus for hvlp is the reduced overspray especially if you use a turbine set up .I agree you need to use a bit closer to your work piece . I've been using uhs clear in my hvlp with no probs ,so I think it's more of set up to suit your needs wether it's conventional or hvlp each to there own . Cheers for the vid Gunny

    Hi gunman thanks for you're videos, I've learned many. One thing I don't understand is why the flg5 is lvlp spray gun when its air consumption is 277 l/min (9.8 cfm) while The gpi has 265 l/min 9.4 and is hvlp gun. Like they both need the same size compressor. Thanks for the help

      0Dani3l that’s what I’m wondering too. It actually says on amazon that it’s hvlp , not lvlp. I thought he was recommending lvlp guns.

    Hey Gunman! I got a ton of respect for your abilities! I saw you review a Sata 4000 B HVLP and you had nothing but great things to say about it. After seeing your review I purchased a Sata 4000B HVLP Camo. I am a novis with a handful of paint jobs under my belt. Im actually going to upgrade my compressor because of the gun choice I have made. After watching this video I am thinking I made a big mistake. Any suggestions?

    Being a spray painter myself I’ve found HVLP to be a new ball game especially coming to the paint mix and usually a thicker mix which has more of a chance to have runs or droops until using it a few times if your a more common conventional spray painter with high pressure guns

      @@TheGunmanChannel Yes i paint bath tubs and HVLP was the first setup to do this bath being the start of my new career and with the thickness of the hose made it a challenge on itself let alone using a lower pressure and a bulkier heavy gun but they serve their purpose 👍🏼

    I am in a tech college automotive refinish program, in the US. We use HVLP, because it is mandated by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). I use a Sata 4000B HVLP digital with a 1.3 tip. I only have this gun right now, so I spray Primer, Sealer, Base and Clear with it. I set pressure at 25 psi incoming rather than the 29psi that Sata recommends.

      I just bought one and used it for clear and I love it! Is the only thing im going to use it for, clear. I never painted a car in my life and all my friends are in love with the paint job. They were all worry because the color I have chosen was a 3 stage paint job and sense I never painted a car before they thought I was going to screw things up, Lol. This gun made it possible for me. Right now is nice and clean and put in a very safe place. I wanted to put it underneath my pillow but my wife didn't like the idea😁😂🤣🤣.

    thanks for the video.. i was thinking the hvlp is for high volume paint with less air, and it will be good for small compressor.. so hvlp is stands for high volume of air with less air pressure & it will consume more air than the standart spray gun..
    thanks for the information, so i'll avoid the hvlp for now

  • @DEeMONsworld
    @DEeMONsworld 5 лет назад

    great explanation, You have the painting experience and as far as it goes you're absolutely right. However all those so called HVLP automotive spray guns are not really HVLP. at least most of them. I sprayed clears on kitchen cabinets professionally for years, but it was some time ago. At that point The only way to get true HVLP was to buy a dedicated turbine system with large hoses (high volume of air). I did not go that route. The other way round was to have a killer compressor, I had a 5 HP 220 volt 80 gallon tank, which you need all of, plus an industrial grade HVLP gun adapted for use as a hand held unit, cost me around 500 bucks, plus larger hose and fittings. its not just the air horns, you need the power AND volume of air to drive a gun like this. You have to move slower requiring a more steady hand, and as you said your holding the gun very close to the work. The problem is with the operator used to the old school kind of gun, he just cranks up the pressure until he is comfortable, and defeats the purpose of HVLP in the first place. Not worth the hassle unless you need the HVLP for other reasons.

  • @USCG.Brennan

    Quick question. As for paint (automotive single stage) usage from guns. How does an HVLP compare to an old school siphon feed gun? My best siphon feed is a Binks #7 for comparison. Thanks in advance for your answer.

    I have an Earlex 5500, it's ok but I get a bit of orange peel, is it me the home sprayer or is it the tool?
    I only have a small 50 litre compressor with an LVLP gun but still it's stop start.
    I like the idea for turbine sprayers for home, I've done motorbikes but want to spray my project car.
    Thinking about a Fuji semi pro 2 or an Earlex Sprayport?
