Will a low cost (cheap) spray gun work for your painting? We show the performance differences between a budget friendly Harbor Freight Spray Gun and a more expensive entry level professional Binks SV 100 Spray Gun so you can understand the differences between the two and decide which is best for your painting project needs. spray guns
Please note both spray guns used a 1.4 mm fluid nozzle and the air cap that came with them the material used had the same amount of thinner mixed in. You can order the Harbor freight gun with a few tips. Both spray guns can be good depending on your goals and projects
Good video! I have used the harbor freight cheap guns for years and yes they work just like he shows here . If I have a high viscosity material I thin it enough to get it to spray and I floor the gun with pressure and run the fluid wide open . Once they get too crappy to use ( Even if I clean them after every use ) you can pitch it and or use it for parts. Having said all that there is nothing like a good quality spay gun if you can afford it .
If purple gun is adjusted right, you can get pretty good results.
For the untrained eye u can lay down solids. That’s it. Forget metallic or pearl. It’s garbage. U think pros would use such a pos. I’ve tried it can compared. It’s a joke made for hack job paintrts
@@jecrpalier I painted pearl rear quarter panel with purple gun, it turned out good.
@@jecrpalier I painted pearl, it turned out to be good.
If a gun like that uses 20cfm of air, most people can't use them at home with their moderate-sized compressor. Not saying that is the intended audience, but worth noting.
James that is true which means it may not be the right option for everyone thank you for mentioning that!
The gun is shit. It’s waste because u waste product and time on all your prep so u can save 100. Don’t even attempt without proper equipment. The job turns out like shit and is very noticeable. Let’s see a Chinese copy of a bad design sr95 sata. What could go wrong. Doh
I’m interested in the siphon feed guns, binks #7 and some mid price ones ? Be nice to see a vid pleaseeeee
I have painted dozens of cars with the HF cheap Gun.
But there are a couple of rules with it
1 CLEAN THE F OUT OF IT BEFORE YOU FIRST USE IT.
2 Never ever Use it before you Manually set it. Start wide open set air in to 19-23 psi at the regulator.
And slowly adjust to the pattern you want
Again I have painted using the 9.99 gun (now 15.99) for years no problem.
Good advice !!
I bought a CH kit with two guns (big and little) for like 50 bucks. Its not the best high speed low drag super fantastic top notch bees knees but they do a fine job.
MOST of the paint job is in the prep. I will be buying a couple hundred dollar piece for the final paint job on the cobra but for cutting in doors and doing engine bays the cheaper guns are fine.
Fine compares to crap. Yeah for someone who doesn’t know what he’s looking at it’s great. It’s a hack job tool
well said.
When you sprayed using the first cheap gun would thinning the paint more help / improve the course spattering effect that occurred?
Hi Jonathan, thinning will help somewhat with the splattering called orange peel but depending on the paint there can be limits to how much you can thin a material and not get runs.
I use the HF gun for things that will either be sanded (high build primer) or things I don't care as much about the finish (mower decks). I've found it doesn't matter how much you thin it, you'll either get that orange peel with lower pressure or too dry spray with higher pressure. It is what it is, a $10 gun. It has it's place though.
It’s hard to use. It’s just shit. Why do people insist on this garbage. It’s like a husky. Crap. They’re made to paint a toy wagon or something stupid. Not a showroom car finish.
Do you think it is better to buy a mid level gun (Iwata W101 131G in my case) with a 1.3mm tip AND to dilute the primer so you can "do it all" - VS buying a cheap gun kit like SprayIt with 3-4 heads?
Cheap tools & materials represent the single biggest mistake DIYers make when
approaching these types of projects. Remember tools are NOT an expense ~ they are an investment that you make in order to achieve superior results. They can then be sold for 80-90% of their value once the job is done and in the end it will cost less than renting. These 2 budget HVLP Systems are the best hold their value: 1st choice: Fuji 2202 Semi-PRO 2 (2203 gravity version) & 2nd choice: Earlex HV5500.
Sounds like you can not afford to have others do the job right, and also can not afford to buy decent tools which would allow you to do the job right yourself. Tough position ~ I don't envy you.
It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. Your username and overall insulting and obtuse demeanor marks you as a fool.
Except there would be no DIYers without entry level equipment... No DIYer is going to go buy a 300$-500$ Devlibiss (which I own), they also likly dont need one.
I have run hundreds of gallons of Rustoleum Enamel through many purple guns and they are perfectly fine once adjusted correctly and the project being painted is not a show car or a lambo. I have an use more expensive gear and unless I need "perfect paint" I stick to the $10 purple gun and the $50 HF "pro" gun...
I've painted everything from workbenches to machine tools to farm implements to my 4runner and its trailer with the purple guns and 4:3:1 rutoleum. It works, its cheap and the results are more then fine for 99% of the applications I need to spray.
Sorry if painting my own gear makes me "too poor" ... I might argue the reason Im actually not poor is I dont pay people to do things that I can do myself and achieve results that are as good and better than necessary given the application. Aka Im not paying for your gear to spray a show quality paint on a tool, offroad toy or piece of equipment that actually get used and worked hard IRL.
are astro guns any better than the purple gun
Need to remember,single stage paint less material more air pressure.Base coat paint ,more paint less air pressure.
The reason I end up with cheaper guns is because of the smaller patterns... I don't seem to have this coarseness issue but I want a mid range gun, with a smaller pattern but with the ability to change tips. Not sure what to buy... the parts I am doing are much smaller than car parts.
There are "mini" gun just for detailed work. You may also want to look into air brushes.
I spray cabinet doors and some are 5' tall , the trophy series can't hold pressure I have to use 120 psi to break up the paint ,I'm spraying waterborne laquer and I use 1.4 tip , plz help me out
The air called the convenient air cap is suppost to be best atomizing.they make three diffrent variations of convenient air cap .it say it on the trophy manual online .it will describe the cfm and air pattern size
what make and model is this 225$ gun?
Which gun is best sir?
This was very helpful. Thank you for posting.
Wise man once say ,only a bad painter blames the brush.
Guns are not brushes
well said
Wonderful sharing
I have a $15 bucks harbor freight and works just perfect ,I desired to buy a binks trophy series $500 bucks and I can't make it work , it loos pressure in 10 seconds
Hi I would check your air compressor cfm the trophy gun used about 15 cfm and if your compressor is less than that you will not get performance you can also call us and will help you figure out why if its not the compressor being to low of cfm
You can call us tomorrow 8 30 to 5 PM est 412 882 4550 my names Patrick
Also if your siphon feeding you will typically want the brown cap not a blue cap
For reference harbor freight uses about 2 or 3 cfm
Like ur brain
my buddy paintedhis 70 chevelle with one it turned out great but for $104 new on ebay you can get a tekna gti much bttr for a little more
$100 won't get you a genuine pro Lite tekna. Only a cheap china fake.
@@mitchellferre1652 on eBay you can buy one new from a reseller or on OfferUp for $100. Not a China remake.
@@tfr6 a genuine Devilbiss GTI pro Lite made in UK is over $400 new from any legitimate seller. $100 will get you a starting line . There are plenty of chinese fakes out there. There are also "real sata 5000b rp " for $99. Lol
All the reviews show performance and not the nitty gritty of what exactly makes a gun more expensive? They all work on the same principal, pushing air and material through holes. Can a cheap cap, nozzle and needle be polished for performance? A hole drilled in a cheap gun is the same diameter as drilled in a expensive gun and has such a dramatic effect on performance. So when it boils down to construction what is it that sets them apart. To head you off at the pass, what makes them quality parts?
QQTrick1QQ while you can still a hole in a budget air cap it is not engineered typically to maximize performance for a range of spray needs a gun like that shown uses 20 cfm of air a budget gun will use about 5 which is largely in the design of the way air flows through the gun this results in the wider spray patterns and better break up of thicker paints. Additionally a expensive gun offers many ways to set the gun for your particular paint offering 8 or so fluid tips and air caps gives you the ability to make the gun work best for your materials. Additionally the gun will be made of stainless steel not sure if all budget guns are. These are some of the main differences
Thanks for the reply, stainless steel and precision holes can make a 6-700 buck price swing seems crazy In compare to a $600 HD 60 inch TV with 100's of precision parts. But you can't spray with a TV.
How does this binks u100 do with metallics like breaking them up and streaks ???
For automotive use it would be ok though a FLG 670 kit would be my preferred spray gun for metallics at a decent price point
Pittsburgh Spray Equipment Co how much is that one$$$
@@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo SLG 670 would be a good option for furniture or walls too? Thank you ;)
@@virtuaviolin The SV 100 is good for furniture I wouldn't shoot much latex from it HVLP doesn't do that well with latex
@@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo Yes, I just noticed hvlp and latex are not the best friends. Is there any sprayer gun (not airless) that would work fine with latex? Perhaps conventional ones?
You need a 60 gallon of compressor too. It is around $500 bucks
No you don't. You need 20 CFM not 60 gallons lol. And they're minimum $800.
Holy crap, you are actually a pgh based company
He seemed a little nervous, but good walkthrough.. good vid, good job..
We’re all so thankful you pointed that out
a pro will not waste his time using a cheap gun, it won't lay the paint down as good as a high-quality gun, also he uses that gun day in day out a cheap gun will not do that day in day out, buy cheap pay twice if it's for a hobbyist at home then I still would not recommend buying a cheap full-size gun get a mini spray gun uses less air than a full-size gun and is capable of doing full panels, etc I've even sprayed a full car with one using a 50 lt air tank i don't recommend but it can be done.
So mid price is $500.00 $
You are spray gun is price
