Yea I would say you can get like 6 more containers use one for water only and the rest for different colors so you only need to switch the container and not the color
I think this is the big brain move. Unless you can get the containers super cheap. But i would maybe only limit it to 2 or 3. Don't want to leave one unattended for too long. Might seize up. But having the background and a fill on hand would probably be good enough.
About the color container problem...you could actually try get your hands on more of them...like atleast 4 containers...for four differ colors...depending on your drawings... Btw love your content and artwork... Keep it up...
You'll still have to clean the whole machine everytime you switch colors... He should have at least 4 machines with their own container.... But he can use the same batteries for all of them! ;)
Agreed. Premix your colors in multiple cups and see if theres a jar top that fits on them, then have 2 additional cups with water. your dirty water for first rinse, and second for final clean and spray out to clear previous color. I also wonder if theres a fluid/air adjustment for gradient spraying like automotive guns.
The thing you got to "filter" the paint with is actually a viscosity meter. You time it for the cup to drain and then thin or thicken the paint according to what viscosity you want.
I’m glad somebody mentioned it. 😂 watching him use it as a scoop was killing me. It will fix all the sputtering. Filter the paint into a bucket, then thin it roughly, then use the viscosity tool that verify thickness. It will work beautifully! I love your channel! Doke!
Just as a heads up you are useing the ladle/funnel piece incorrectly after adding water to your paint it is used to measure how thin your paint is there is a certain amount of seconds it take to empty...if its too thin the water drips down the wall and if it is too thick you will clog the sprayer
Hey Doke, cool video. About the need for a respirator... the colours in spraycans are combined with volatile solvents, and atomized into very small droplets. Both are hazardous for your lungs, and health. The wallpaint lacks those volatile solvents, but the gun still atomizes the paint. Painting outdoors should be fine. For anyone spraying in closed doors, I'd recommend a cloth like a bandanna around nose and mouth.
@@clarencenolin6660 yes and no. waterbased paint stays longer in your body, and mixes well with your cells, since it is both waterbased, but it has no harmfull fumes. Waterbased paint is better for the enviroment. Solvent based paint and it's components range in terms of harmfullness to your body quite a lot. The fumes of spraypaint is rather shortterm, but inhaling them constantly leads to more serious healthissues. Either way, you don't want to inhale the droplets, they will mess up your lungs longterm.
A fantastic idea for street art! Definitely needs to have multiple containers for multiple colors and another container for water. The adjustable pressure on the trigger is a very cool feature. Probably best use for this would be for the bulk of the work (backgrounds, outlines, fills, erasing, larger/ rough details) and cans for the more finely detailed stuff. TL;DR: I have a few pointers on how these sprayers work and how to maintain them from years of using them. I suggest getting a supplemental portable power source. How these sorts of sprayers work: They are still pneumatic (air powered) however instead of having to be hooked up to a separate compressor, it has a small one built in. That's why it's so loud. The compressed air is then split into two areas: the color container and the atomizers. By forcing air into the container, it pushes the color into the little tube and out the center part of the nozzle. The atomizers are those "plastic thingies" mentioned at 5:20. They force the air towards the mist of color, flattening it out to the opposite axis from the atomizers. If they're pointed left and right the color will spread up and down and vise versa. By blocking the flow of air to these, you get the dot nozzle. This give you the three nozzle patterns described at 9:56. Filtering your colors is a very good practice, but it's a preparatory step you should do before you arrive on site. If you use multiple containers, prep them before you head out. This means filtering and watering down so they spray right. Also, if you forget to clean out your sprayer after a job, and the paint dries in it, use acetone instead of water to break down the dried paint. Then rinse with water like normal. Source: I have a spray gun that uses a separate compressor. I have used it over the years for applying a weather-proof coating to decking and out-door furniture, painting a fence, and even spraying glaze onto ceramic pieces. For that last one, filtering is mandatory because of the particle sizes involved. Always clean your tool after use ;) If you don't already have one, a portable power bank would work well for the equipment we see you use. Also, maybe, depending on how sunny it is in Slovakia, you might get a solar powered generator (a portable solar panel and a power bank). You can top up your other batteries while working. It could also charge phones and camera equipment. This depends on how much you use the sprayer, how quick your batteries drain, and how much you'd be willing to spend. A power bank runs ~$300 US and a solar generator set runs from $500 - $2000 US. They also make really small ones just for charging something via USB.
invest in a extra containers for the spray gun, that way you have some for whatever colors you need and don't need to switch! can even have one with water for cleaning the system. also for straining, do large buckets of your colors at a time instead of directly into the containers. will save time
I personally use the Graco UltraMax for small spray painting jobs, they sell seperate containsers with closable lids. And you can also buy cheap liners of the cups. Also because that tool uses an vacuum system you can spray upside down without problems. I know price is a different ballpark but quality is as well. Especially with the wide range of available spraytips.
If you did want to continue to use it, I wonder if you can buy separate containers so you can bring all the colors with you after you filtered them out and then just switch the containers. That way you would actually save more time too. Overall thank you so much for the great video
Don't know about the main artwork (especially details and outlines) itself but it is definitely great for main color of background. Tnx for idea bro! Cheers!
When it was cutting out a little did you have it tilted to the side or was the paint level getting low? Really impressed with how well it worked and how much coverage you got with just two batteries! Will keep an eye out as it's definitely a tool that could save money and time in the long run! Thanks Doke!
To make changing colors easier maybe you can purchase multiple paint tanks. Keep a few for different colors and maybe one for water to run through the sprayer to keep it clean during color changes.
I use this kind of tool all the time, but I have, for my cup spray gun, purchased 5 if the paint containers, so that I dont have to wash every container all the time, and then to clean the gun between colors, I fill one container up with warm water, screw it on, shake it and spray it through until the water comming out is clear. And have a big bucket with a water tight lit on, filled with water to throw the containers with paint in, so that I can clean them at home 👌
Hey Doke, great video, as usual. I just wanted to comment that the plastic container you use to fill the gun's reservoir is a hydrometer. It is used to check the density of the paint so that the gun sprays correctly and the paint coverage is optimal. You will have more information in the manual of the gun.
Idk if this was mentioned, but you can also use paint thinner instead of the water, 1:1 ratio, you can paint quicker but you’ll get drips of course from holding it long in one spot, paint thinner can also be good to clean the gun
i think the only bad part is because the changing of the colure, i think it’s designed for home painting instead of art, you used it incredible well though, looks like you can achieve a lot of different surfaces and when you have time the piece you could make will probably be really good
Hi Doke...I work at a paint store...here are a couple tips...1. pre-mix your paint in separate containers with minimal water mixed in...2. you can get paint cups with plastic bags for easy clean up and switching colors...3. buy 2 or 3 guns so don't have clean / switch all the time...some higher end guns have quick change cups
Just saw this video pop up in my feed and watched it. When cleaning out a sprayer use 100% pure acetone. It works way better than regular paint thinner not to mention water. As someone who uses sprayers for staining home exteriors I can confidently say this.
The big canister and battery would be good to fill the background but it would probably be easier to use the smaller canister and battery for the outline and switch back for the main fills.. the fact you can get a clean matte look is great for locations where glare will make it difficult to look at the artwork.. making the art community smarter one video at a time.. thanks again doke
Thanks for the video Doke 🙏🏻👊🏻 I paint because it’s good to be creative for my recovery from a brain injury. I have a disability and issues with communication from my brain to my hands (I struggle with dexterity & proprioception in particular). I also get fatigued fast and my hands cramp up. Tools like this help. Especially as I’m on a budget. I use a handheld manual spray grip for block colour - it’s ok but as you said it has its problems, I have much better control with a can when my hands are good. I now stencil where possible for short spray holds 👍🏻 This tool is definitely beneficial for me! Thank you for testing and sharing. I appreciate the videos.
i work at a hardware store and we sell these as well as a paint medium to thin out the paint. I assume that makes the paint easier to spray. I know it makes the paint spread out more when painting traditionally. If used in the correct mixture it can make t your paint somewhat transparent.
look for TEOR, guy from brazil does it with the manual ones, he mixes water before sift, and actually you don't need to clear the "system", just apply new ink and press the trigger till stabilizes with the new color you add
I been using an airless and cup gun on some houses before i paint them and it's freaking fun and super fast.just gotta get a good trigger finger.lol.way to go doke!!
Yeah you mix the paint, put it in the that little cup thing, and if it drains in 70 seconds i think, its perfect for the gun. The tube inside the gun also bends, so when you are painting downward it will get the last paint, im sure if you are going to hold it sideways you can turn that tube to the left or right. I think it did a great job considering you were just chucking paint in it. Some paints you buy will work with it without diluting, etc. The best thing about this thing, is that you could mix up custom colours, and buy colours you like in bulk. If you knew for fact that "brand x red" worked perfect in it, instead of ordering it per can, you could order it by the bucket.
The website should carry extra containers for holding the paint, have a few of them for easy change out along with 1 with just water so you can clean the lines in between colors. Awesome work
if im not mistaken the gun will come apart where the black parts meet the green parts. could buy a few of those particular parts along with the paint cups and just have your colors within already pre-mixed. with the way that you were cleaning the colors you were diluting the colors and they werent the same
I just used one of these with latex and urethane enamel with no drip issues. There is a center nozzle which the paint comes out from, around that nozzle is a silicone...air cone and a small gap between it and the plastic front piece... HVLP air passes through the gap, pulling paint through the central nozzle as it does. Higher air+less paint can fix spatter issues for what looks like pretty thin paint - maybe you can avoid drip too. Anyways, compared to cans...pretty cheap. I used a corded one, how long does a battery last? I would go and get more sprayer/bucket assemblies, screw unscrewing.
you just need more containers. have one with just water to clean in between changes. You can also try put the paint inside a plastic bag in the container to make color changes easier since the color would be in a bag sitting in side the container instead of just in the container.
Looks amazing and fun to use. A good idea would be getting multiple of the bottom paint canisters for different colors so you can swap them when needed and not have to worry about cross contamination.
I just looked, for the Bosch system you can buy paint containers individually and there are a few other companies that have similar systems, sometimes these are compatible with each other there are also many "cheap" manufacturers of airbrushes
Technical comment: this type of sprayer is called HVLP - for high volume/low pressure airflow. Old school autobody paint sprayers are LVHP. The higher air pressure creates more overspray than HVLP. I’ve used a corded HVLP sprayer for white paint on scenery and I have another for water based clear coat for furniture. Now I want a cordless. 😀
A good tip to save paint if using a roller on a concrete wall is spray the concrete wall with water first before you roll or add some water to your pant tray
hey i think as you use different cans for different colors you can use different containers for different colors and another one for water that can be useful and convenient.
Also Doke, you can use isopropyl alcohol instead of water, alcohol makes the paint more runny and thin, meaning the color would be nice and opaque and it will still be very thin
You can buy the paint hopper buckets that you skate onto the gun their cheap. I use this gun and just bring multiple paint hoppers so I have one for each color I’m using that day
As a former professional painter (not artistic, but like, house painting) for a flakey wall like that i would use a scraper to get rid of the spare flakes. Or perhaps a power washer, depends on the wall. power washing could turn out badly with some walls. Cuz your new paint layer is going to flake pretty quick.
Contact the company, and ask for more bottles. You won't have to dump, just switch bottles. And have an extra with water, for clean out, between bottles.
for the color problem you could put sum type of plastic wrap like saran wrap inside 0f it with extra hanging out so you are able to pull it out then when you wanna change the color you can pull it right on out.
@DokeTV the gun is ment to paint walls with one color only and not do to graffity, but you can buy several other containers and use them as ready to go ink.
For more sharper lines you can always try the painter's trick of using an edger card, would prevent overspray on straight lines and can totally customize them for different radius as well! If you get more cups you can always have one full of warm water to purge the tool of paint between colors. Even though the larger amp hour batteries are heavier, they are actually better for the gun as well because they have more power that allows the torque of the tool to decrease more slowly and thusly the gun will work better!
Do you know what size needle the air cap uses on this spray gun? The part in question on your spray gun is called the air horns. Assuming that the holes are functional, it would flatten out your spray pattern to give you the "chisel" look. While directing air away from the horns would give you more of a "bullseye" look.
Either get multiple tubs (including one with water for cleansing gun between colour switch), or get multiple guns for different colours, battery is easily switched between guns.
Looks great to buff walls… If you want to use different colors with it just buy a few of these guns… just switch battery and you are ready to go. But with one gun I don’t think this rinsing with water isn’t necessary. Just change the color in the container and rinse with the new color.
Yeah buy more containers for the paint so that you can have multi colors to switch from maybe even one for just water to run through the gun, I use one for work and it helps to have more than one paint holder for different colors!!
Great video. Just a little reminder that the compounds of non dried water based (fume less) paint are also quite harmfull and carcinogenic. Not to mention the additives against spoiling in it. A respirator is mandatory when you atomize these.
Buy a few replacement jugs and designate colors to each jug for quick change between colors with a bucket of water near by to flush the system between color changes
You cna buy more pots and caps for the pots i been doing this for years for personal murals with a corded model saved me so much money in buying spray cans for background
Can you modify the bottom screw part of the sprayer to accept old jars that are common and cheap? If you could screw on old empty peanut butter jars, coffee jars, drink powder jars or other cheap containers that might solve the problem. Also, the container doesn't really need to be screwed into place! Maybe there is a way to strap a container on or hold the container with clips of some kind.
*Hint* : Filter your colour after you dilute it ,it is faster after that+ use filters for paint because one that you used is too coarse you can buy them in any hardware store and they are pretty cheap.
Contact the distributor, it may be kompernass or grizzly tools (is should say in the instruction manual). Maybe they sell the containers separately, with a few extra you could swap colors by only purging the system and still have other colors ready for a quick change.
What up, Doke? Here's a suggestion I'd like to see: Mixing special pigments into your paint. I don't know if you're familiar with Dip Your Car but they have done so much work mixing special pigments into their auto paint that I think, with more weapons like these, you could do a lot with.
TIP FOR THE PAINT CONTAINER, TRY AND SEE IF ANY OTHER TYPE OF JAR OR IF THEY SELL JUST THE CONTAINER PART, SO YOU CAN ALREADY HAVE YOUR PANTS READY TO JUST INSERT IN, USE ONE BOTTLE FOR WATER TO CLEAN THE MACHINE IN BETWEEN USES. BUT ALSO IF YOU CANT FIND ANY TRY AND SEE IF SOME ONE CAN 3D PRINT AN ATTACHMENT FOR USE WITH REGULAR SIZED BOTTLES. just a thought and hope you see this and maybe it helps you perhaps.
Nice trial man!...definetly shows the pros and cons of this tool...but like you said ...for backgrounds and flat fils is great...i used this with my father to paint metal aouside doors and porces....so it's cool....until one extend
You should be able to half pull the trigger to keep the fan running to have another exits between strokes assuming it’s anything like the ones I’ve used in the automotive industry
Man you should try a weed aside pressure bottle, reliable for weeding so why not for paint? Might need to modify for more pressure due to density of paint
I love the intro. *can is clogged. Doke; “No.” lol I had an electric spray gun, but my family used it to spray some kind of sealant on their roofing project and it has become far to clogged to use x/ I’ve tried to clean it but whatever they used is caked into everything, like cement
Hey doke, here's a suggestion for you if you want to to try to do this again, next time try to dylute the paint with some disolvent, the paint will be more watery and will filter a lot better.
You can get mesh bags to screen your paint, put the paint in and squeeze it out. The downsides is it's messier, and I don't know if they are reusable, they might be though
If you were to get a couple containers you could have one for water and maybe one for each color you’ll want to do that day. Could help your color problem
I agree with the person who said that you should maybe buy multiple containers and treat them the way you would a spray can. Have a container for each color you want to use. And have one container dedicated for cleaning up the tubes in the machine (filled with water). It's definitely something that will take space, (buying multiple containers) but considering the use you wanna have for them, it can be really worth it. That was really cool actually that tool is really useful. Only downside is the sound for me. It seems pretty loud.
I've watched people airbrush t shirts by the beach where they have to move really fast. Instead of cleaning out the airbrush every time they need to change colors they just have an airbrush for each color. I know it would be pretty expensive but having 2 or 3 of those air sprayers would make it way easier for you. Also, I think you can buy different tips for detail etc.
For that price you should buy more of them and more batteries, this way you not only have separate containers already with colors inside of them but with some batteries inside them, you can basically interchange them as fast as just taking a new spray can and in the long run it would probably be cheaper and pollute way less.
For 35€ you could even buy a couple of them since, unlike the color, the battery is easy and fast to swap.
Or maybe just buy more containers
Yea I would say you can get like 6 more containers use one for water only and the rest for different colors so you only need to switch the container and not the color
In my country the batteries cost 35 € each and the bigger one is 45 i think. Its a bit too over price for my way to see it xD
lol
I think this is the big brain move. Unless you can get the containers super cheap. But i would maybe only limit it to 2 or 3. Don't want to leave one unattended for too long. Might seize up. But having the background and a fill on hand would probably be good enough.

You'll still have to clean the whole machine everytime you switch colors... He should have at least 4 machines with their own container.... But he can use the same batteries for all of them! ;)
That’s what I was thinking and maybe one extra container for water to clean the machine out between colors

You got it.nail on the head , i use these guns sometimes when shooting stains on furniture.
It's amazing how reading and following the directions can cause the tool to work properly.
Absolutley correct.It's a Zahn cup. For measuring paint viscosity.
0000.00s lmao
This is a really cool tool. I think it could definitely be useful for doing quick backgrounds or maybe even fat cap action.

that gun looks like a future of the street art to me👍
Tucking a few spray cans in a backpack or bag is easy. Tucking all this stuff isn't stealth or all that good for a hike.

if im not mistaken the gun will come apart where the black parts meet the green parts. could buy a few of those particular parts along with the paint cups and just have your colors within already pre-mixed. with the way that you were cleaning the colors you were diluting the colors and they werent the same
I just used one of these with latex and urethane enamel with no drip issues. There is a center nozzle which the paint comes out from, around that nozzle is a silicone...air cone and a small gap between it and the plastic front piece... HVLP air passes through the gap, pulling paint through the central nozzle as it does. Higher air+less paint can fix spatter issues for what looks like pretty thin paint - maybe you can avoid drip too. Anyways, compared to cans...pretty cheap. I used a corded one, how long does a battery last? I would go and get more sprayer/bucket assemblies, screw unscrewing.
I felt terrible today, Thank you for making me feel normal. I love your content. Thanks again man.
you just need more containers. have one with just water to clean in between changes. You can also try put the paint inside a plastic bag in the container to make color changes easier since the color would be in a bag sitting in side the container instead of just in the container.
Looks amazing and fun to use. A good idea would be getting multiple of the bottom paint canisters for different colors so you can swap them when needed and not have to worry about cross contamination.
What if you got multiple of the containers for the paint gun, and swapped midway through to make it easier.
I just looked, for the Bosch system you can buy paint containers individually and there are a few other companies that have similar systems, sometimes these are compatible with each other there are also many "cheap" manufacturers of airbrushes
Technical comment: this type of sprayer is called HVLP - for high volume/low pressure airflow. Old school autobody paint sprayers are LVHP. The higher air pressure creates more overspray than HVLP. I’ve used a corded HVLP sprayer for white paint on scenery and I have another for water based clear coat for furniture. Now I want a cordless. 😀
I’ve used one and used a plastic zip bag as the insert to be able to switch colors faster because I just had one canister.
A good tip to save paint if using a roller on a concrete wall is spray the concrete wall with water first before you roll or add some water to your pant tray
We just need to get you a couple extra buckets :-) I’m so glad you found something that works!
hey i think as you use different cans for different colors you can use different containers for different colors and another one for water that can be useful and convenient.
Also Doke, you can use isopropyl alcohol instead of water, alcohol makes the paint more runny and thin, meaning the color would be nice and opaque and it will still be very thin
You can buy the paint hopper buckets that you skate onto the gun their cheap. I use this gun and just bring multiple paint hoppers so I have one for each color I’m using that day
Great news about your council appreciating your work. I look forward to seeing the area transform 👌
As a former professional painter (not artistic, but like, house painting) for a flakey wall like that i would use a scraper to get rid of the spare flakes. Or perhaps a power washer, depends on the wall. power washing could turn out badly with some walls. Cuz your new paint layer is going to flake pretty quick.
Contact the company, and ask for more bottles. You won't have to dump, just switch bottles. And have an extra with water, for clean out, between bottles.
for the color problem you could put sum type of plastic wrap like saran wrap inside 0f it with extra hanging out so you are able to pull it out then when you wanna change the color you can pull it right on out.
@DokeTV the gun is ment to paint walls with one color only and not do to graffity, but you can buy several other containers and use them as ready to go ink.
For more sharper lines you can always try the painter's trick of using an edger card, would prevent overspray on straight lines and can totally customize them for different radius as well! If you get more cups you can always have one full of warm water to purge the tool of paint between colors. Even though the larger amp hour batteries are heavier, they are actually better for the gun as well because they have more power that allows the torque of the tool to decrease more slowly and thusly the gun will work better!
Do you know what size needle the air cap uses on this spray gun?
The part in question on your spray gun is called the air horns. Assuming that the holes are functional, it would flatten out your spray pattern to give you the "chisel" look. While directing air away from the horns would give you more of a "bullseye" look.
Autopainters usually use solvent to make the paint less dense which allows them to pour the paint through very fine mesh filters
good deal, you need to find a few of this reservoirs for different colors would be nice
Take a look at getting more cups with lids. Then you could always keep some black, grey, white and like 3/4 other colors that you often use.
Either get multiple tubs (including one with water for cleansing gun between colour switch), or get multiple guns for different colours, battery is easily switched between guns.
Name a more iconic duo than doke and a pain in the ass😂 I'LL WAIT
Looks great to buff walls…
If you want to use different colors with it just buy a few of these guns… just switch battery and you are ready to go.
But with one gun I don’t think this rinsing with water isn’t necessary. Just change the color in the container and rinse with the new color.
Yeah buy more containers for the paint so that you can have multi colors to switch from maybe even one for just water to run through the gun, I use one for work and it helps to have more than one paint holder for different colors!!
Great video. Just a little reminder that the compounds of non dried water based (fume less) paint are also quite harmfull and carcinogenic. Not to mention the additives against spoiling in it. A respirator is mandatory when you atomize these.
I love how excited he got after the 3rd spray 😅 you could feel his excitement
Buy a few replacement jugs and designate colors to each jug for quick change between colors with a bucket of water near by to flush the system between color changes
You cna buy more pots and caps for the pots i been doing this for years for personal murals with a corded model saved me so much money in buying spray cans for background
Can you modify the bottom screw part of the sprayer to accept old jars that are common and cheap? If you could screw on old empty peanut butter jars, coffee jars, drink powder jars or other cheap containers that might solve the problem. Also, the container doesn't really need to be screwed into place! Maybe there is a way to strap a container on or hold the container with clips of some kind.
*Hint* : Filter your colour after you dilute it ,it is faster after that+ use filters for paint because one that you used is too coarse you can buy them in any hardware store and they are pretty cheap.
Contact the distributor, it may be kompernass or grizzly tools (is should say in the instruction manual). Maybe they sell the containers separately, with a few extra you could swap colors by only purging the system and still have other colors ready for a quick change.
Pre thin with water before filtering or using the zahn cup to determine flow rate/viscosity. Just some red seal knowledge to be happily shared.
Hy doke what are you planning on doing with the cans.. it could be a fun art project like ten hun and kiptoe did..
Love your videos man keep up the good work
great to be back watching your videos doke! i enjoy it :D
What up, Doke? Here's a suggestion I'd like to see: Mixing special pigments into your paint.
I don't know if you're familiar with Dip Your Car but they have done so much work mixing special pigments into their auto paint that I think, with more weapons like these, you could do a lot with.
TIP FOR THE PAINT CONTAINER, TRY AND SEE IF ANY OTHER TYPE OF JAR OR IF THEY SELL JUST THE CONTAINER PART, SO YOU CAN ALREADY HAVE YOUR PANTS READY TO JUST INSERT IN, USE ONE BOTTLE FOR WATER TO CLEAN THE MACHINE IN BETWEEN USES. BUT ALSO IF YOU CANT FIND ANY TRY AND SEE IF SOME ONE CAN 3D PRINT AN ATTACHMENT FOR USE WITH REGULAR SIZED BOTTLES. just a thought and hope you see this and maybe it helps you perhaps.
Nice trial man!...definetly shows the pros and cons of this tool...but like you said ...for backgrounds and flat fils is great...i used this with my father to paint metal aouside doors and porces....so it's cool....until one extend
They actually sell plastic liners to put in the container for easier transition. Only needing to clean the tubing and upper portion.
The funnel is a measuring device for testing viscosity - the speed at which it empties is the measurement.
Nice video. Would you recommend paint a car with this kind of sprayer?
You should be able to half pull the trigger to keep the fan running to have another exits between strokes assuming it’s anything like the ones I’ve used in the automotive industry
Man you should try a weed aside pressure bottle, reliable for weeding so why not for paint? Might need to modify for more pressure due to density of paint
I love the intro. *can is clogged. Doke; “No.” lol I had an electric spray gun, but my family used it to spray some kind of sealant on their roofing project and it has become far to clogged to use x/ I’ve tried to clean it but whatever they used is caked into everything, like cement
I just bought one to try out. I want to see how it does with backgrounds.
Well done for researching what didn`t work before - revise it and come back to make it successful. Good job
Try using the matt colour with glossy can colour in one piece, like half shiny half matt
Doke my dude was looking for this one and here we go.
Hey doke, here's a suggestion for you if you want to to try to do this again, next time try to dylute the paint with some disolvent, the paint will be more watery and will filter a lot better.
You can get mesh bags to screen your paint, put the paint in and squeeze it out. The downsides is it's messier, and I don't know if they are reusable, they might be though
This is a great demonstration. Thank you!
I mean you could get more containers for different colours, so it's basically hot-swappable?
The sound of it is so soothing 🙃
If you were to get a couple containers you could have one for water and maybe one for each color you’ll want to do that day. Could help your color problem
I agree with the person who said that you should maybe buy multiple containers and treat them the way you would a spray can. Have a container for each color you want to use.
And have one container dedicated for cleaning up the tubes in the machine (filled with water). It's definitely something that will take space, (buying multiple containers) but considering the use you wanna have for them, it can be really worth it. That was really cool actually that tool is really useful.
Only downside is the sound for me. It seems pretty loud.
For dripping paint you can increase or decrease the amount of paint the gun spray out with a small wheel on the machine
Thanks doke appreciate it iv been wanting to know how those spray guns would work for a piece
I've watched people airbrush t shirts by the beach where they have to move really fast. Instead of cleaning out the airbrush every time they need to change colors they just have an airbrush for each color. I know it would be pretty expensive but having 2 or 3 of those air sprayers would make it way easier for you. Also, I think you can buy different tips for detail etc.
U can purchase multiple containers.. it would be very cheap and u can have all the colours pre-filled and just attach them as required
For that price you should buy more of them and more batteries, this way you not only have separate containers already with colors inside of them but with some batteries inside them, you can basically interchange them as fast as just taking a new spray can and in the long run it would probably be cheaper and pollute way less.
Can I suggest if you want to keep the wall together for longer to add some glue to your paint so it holds the wall stronger
