- Today I’m spraying direct gloss single stage paint with a low cfm R500 spray gun on the Toyota Corolla. With this lvlp spray gun and a small compressor I was able to achieve a nice gloss finish on a budget with great results.

I am 67 years old and learning how to spray. First off you are a wonderful painter as you have a steady hand and great vision. But the reason I wrote this message is to commend you on how well you explain what you are doing. You have taught this old dog some new tricks and I am very pleased with my progress. Just wanted to thank you.
Thank you Harley🙏🏽 I really appreciate you and I hope that I can continue to be helpful with the channel!
@UndergroundPaintKing the best part is that you don't take paint sectets to the grave like so many painters.
Toyota looking like new money now King 👑 I don’t get a chance to spray single stage much but when I do I enjoy it. We all get runs man, that’s just part of the field 👍🏾
Appreciate you Sprayway and you’re right,getting runs is part of the paint game💯💪🏾
If you're not getting runs, you're not painting. Nice job, U P KING!!
😂 appreciate you checking out the work Garage Hack!
Got the beater with a heater looking a whole lot sweeter! Lol… good job my man
Lol appreciate you checking out the beater with a heater Grant💯💪🏾
Man same thing happens to me on them single stages. Even the best of us get them dam runs. Salute for even showing the errors. I do the same thing in my channel show the good the bad and the ugly. the fast hardener and medium reducer should have been fine. I do that combo as well. Sometimes what I'll do is mix up all my paint and at a few drops of accelerator then let the paint sit for about 15 minutes so it starts to kick. On smaller cars like that one of course. Man I got a big ass run to wet sand out Monday when I get to work 😒🤦🏽♂️🥺 good job king keep em rolling 💪🏼
I thought about letting it sit for a little bit to kick in but I was ready to get this one done bro but I definitely have learned that when I rush something is bound to go wrong 😂 appreciate you checking out the video bro 💪🏾
@@UndergroundPaintKing yep everytime we rush 😂😂 ✊🏼
1st car i painted was with Omni single stage on a 70 VW Bus... with an under powered compressor, had orange peelnfor days... i color sanded it for 2 days but it came out like glass when i was done, i learned a lot about shrinking metal too when doing sharp dents
Nice 💯 sounds like it was a fun project
I finally learned what a single stage paint is. Thank you
You’re welcome Robert, I’m glad the video was helpful!
Great as always!
Appreciate you checking out the work Sour Motorsports💯
YES ! Finally , lol Im sure I asked a few months ago if we could have the sprayIT spraying single stage,thanks UPK ,you a legend.😀👍🏾👌🏽
You’re welcome Malcolm I’m doing my best to help out my people and I appreciate you rocking with the channel 💯💪🏾🤘🏾
Using both hands! That's why your the paint king!
Thanks Gomer I appreciate that 💯🙏🏽
Looks good upk. Nice job
Thanks James I really appreciate you my friend!
Looks like a good job with the single stage paint. You showed me what a single stage is.
Thanks Robert, I appreciate you checking out the video!
I enjoy you being honest ! Helps for beginners to understand that mistakes going to be happening and not to be afraid to deal with them . They are part of the process . I would also say it’s more easy to fix runs than to cut and buff the whole car because of orange peal . Your gloss was spot on !
Thanks M-511, I appreciate you and you’re right that the mistakes are part of the process and knowing how to fix the mistakes are just as important!
Another job well done King.
Appreciate you Koolhandduke 💯
Good job man , I learned a lot from this video 💪🏽
Thanks I appreciate you and I’m glad the video was helpful 🙏🏽💯
Great Job look forward to the next video, I love single stage let's see more
Thanks Mark I appreciate you checking out the video and I’ll try doing more single stage jobs in the future!
your talking is good my friend...your thorough and its how you teach other...talking and showing...thats what makes you great to watch...
Thank you Lito I appreciate you 🙏🏽💯
Looks great for a quick job!
Thanks, I appreciate you checking it out!
Back my stage days we use to cover primer spots first then 1 medium coat and the last coat was heavy as possible would come out great no buffing at all you did a great job on this thanks for posting
And we ran the paint often cause single stage takes longer to dry and its heavier
I knew it was a possibility of me running that paint but I’ve never been scared of runs 😂 thanks Joe I really appreciate you checking out the video!
This guy is good ,great video .and note no many people can spray equally as well with either hand .thanks for the upload
Thanks Saltman, I appreciate you checking out the video 🙏🏽💯
Another awesome job brother
I appreciate you checking out the videos 💯💪🏾
Looks 👍 good 👍 for a daily driver 💯 better
Budget paint 🎨 job can't beats it Thanks for sharing 👍 😀
Definitely looks better than what it was when it came into the shop 💯 I really appreciate you checking out the video Rudi💪🏾🙏🏽
Great job!👌🏾
Thanks Anthony, I appreciate you checking out the video 🙏🏽💯
Great video brother and thanks for sharing it! 👍
You’re welcome Roger and I appreciate you checking it out 🙏🏽💯
One thing I learned over the years is to do the top sections first like roof , bonnet and trunk by painting each full panel before moving onto another panel and then I do the sides. Setting up the gun is very important for fan , paintflow and air pressure regulation and using a good water trap regulator as well as a water moisture and regulator right at my gun. I found 30 to 40 psi is good pressure to paint just about anything , from Raptor liner , stone chip and base or clear coats and always get great results. I also wet the floor to minimise dust. Great video
Thanks for the info Dan💯
Be very careful for too much reducer also don't spray to close , a good 8" is just goooood. Moving speed and paint flow as well as pressure is all factors playing a part for a bad paint job. Some different types of paint can also play a part.
Best practice I had was years of spray can painting, finally useing a gun came easy compared to spray booms
I definitely think using a spray gun is easier than using spray cans
Man, that white went on nice. Very satisfying to watch. A few runs....No biggie
Yeah it looked good and gave the Corolla some life! I appreciate you checking it out PStreet Garage 💯
looks really good ..and has good gloss to it...
Thanks I appreciate that John!
Real talk here with you. Always the truth.
Appreciate you King0Cans💯
Great video. Looking forward to the next video of to fix run’s in paint.
Thanks Frank, I appreciate you and I’m working on putting that footage together 🙏🏽💪🏾
Looks great
Thanks Tony, I appreciate you checking out the Corolla!
Warts and all. Great to know it happens sometimes and it’s not the end of the world.. thank you.
It’s probably gonna happen a lot more times for me 😂 and it’s never the end of the world, it definitely can be fixed! I appreciate you checking out the video
Good job 👍 Thank you, I've learned from watching your videos.
Thanks John I appreciate you and I hope the channel continues to be helpful 💯
Excellent tutorial
Thanks, I appreciate you checking out the video and I’m glad it was helpful 💯
Dude that's great job way better than what you started with
Thanks Joaquin I appreciate you checking out the video!
Great video! I purchased rattle can color matched but the nozzles kept splattering. I decided to wet sand with 1000 grit and will now be spraying single stage with my R500. This video once again helped me navigate what I need to do.
I’m glad the video was helpful Alex and I appreciate you checking it out!
Thanks for the video. I'm going to be painting a railroad speeder soon and im brand new to paint guns. Probably going to be using the PPG 7-line
You’re welcome and I’m glad the video was helpful, good luck on your project 💯
"why are my hands so ashy?"
LOL brother.. you painted without gloves 🤣
Great video! Thanks for helping my concerns of using single stage with the LVLP!
😂 appreciate you checking out the video and I’m glad it was helpful 💯
So glad you showed this. Since I don't have a garage. I'm thinking about shooting my car one panel at a time. I know it'll take forever and I'll use more materials. But I'll probably be shooting outside with a small compressor. I figured if I do it one panel at a time I can take my time and make sure each panel is straight and clean. Then spray 2-3 coats of single stage white on Saturday. By Sunday I can get it ready to go back to work Monday. It's gonna take a few months. But it's better than rushing and messing something up. After it's all done, if it needs it, I can sand it and put another coat on the whole car. But if I take my time I shouldn't need to
You have a good plan and it should work well for you!
One panel at a time works fine with unicolour paint.
That's how i do it too, because i have no paint booth and, making a huge mess and a big cloud for all neighbours to watch, the landlord will throw me out.
And because i don't paint enough to get routine.
Avoid this technique with metallic. The flakes tend to look different each time you spray.
With metallic better do one side at a time, according to body lines.
Edit: i see, you don't have metallic anyhow. Simple glossy white is great for diy. Glossy black not so much 😆
A bloody great job buddy, I intend to do my daughters car roof, been sun damaged here in Australia😎👍
Thanks Cyclops, I really appreciate you checking out the channel from Australia 🙏🏽💯
Looking good.
Thanks Joe I appreciate you checking out the video 🙏🏽💯
UPK I really enjoy your videos and learn and you are one funny man and I mean that in a sincere way of course. Hey, you got to have some fun too right! You did not get upset with those runs and I would be crying and saying, well you know!! Probably a mixture of things causing them.
Update on my R500/A610. Went through customs and it's in LA.
Thanks I appreciate that Danno and it’s really not worth doing if you’re not having fun doing it, whatever it is in life that you’re doing! I’m glad to hear that you are getting closer to having your spray gun which will be when the fun starts when you get to do your painting 💪🏾
Great job young man your a gunslinger with that paint gun
Thanks Ricky, I appreciate that and appreciate you checking out the video 🙏🏽💯
best way i found from doing garden paint jobs is to either do it when its hot out or in a heated garage of if you're doing one area heat with a heat gun before hand or what i do is dont go so wet , put lots of coats on and sand and buff later or mist the first coat then go heavier each coat
Thanks for those tips Sam💯💪🏾
Looks good
Appreciate that Black Mike 💯💪🏾
looks amazing always brother
Thanks Ali I appreciate you and it’s good hearing from you 💯
@@UndergroundPaintKing same goes to you love watching you’re videos and learn a lot from them
Love these videos - this may have been a $700 car. Super tiring to hear folks say you need a $2000 compressor, $800 gun, and $3000 of PPG paint on projects like this. Auto paint hobby is full of elitist snobbery. This looks great and probably triples the value of the vehicle. Really appreciate your content.
Glad you enjoy the videos Dan and you definitely don’t have to spend thousands to do paint work!
Looking good King car is worth more now 👍
Thanks Joan I appreciate you checking out the video 🙏🏽💯
Yoooooooo that joker looks good 🔥🔥🔥🔥, they gone be bending some corners with that new paint job on the gas saver
Appreciate you Jaron💯 and I know the owner will enjoy riding the Corolla on the streets now!
@@UndergroundPaintKing yess sirr your welcome UPK 💪🏾! What you said, gone have the owner stepping back everytime to look at it especially under them has station lights

Maaan that paint job is way too nice for that car 😂😂 Looks pristine to me 🤌🏾 Good job my brother
😂 thanks I appreciate that and feel even better about the paint job now!
Very good video
Thanks
You’re welcome Allen, I appreciate you checking out the video!
Okay so I told you I had that gun on the way. I got the same compressor as well. GameChanger thanks a lot brother.
You’re welcome Johnny 💯💪🏾
Unlike base and clear coats your first coat being a tack coat on single stage should have little overlay. Once the tack coat flashed off then go to a heavier overlay. Even still, your doing a great job!
Thanks Biggysground, I appreciate you for the tip 🙏🏽💯
Overall it looks good.
Thanks John I appreciate you checking out the video!
Thank you for the great videos, especially this one on spraying single stage. I have been doing my 36 coupe in stages, fenders, doors, trunk lid etc. This works best for me as I can concentrate on keeping on task. I'm 77 and It's difficult for me to move around a car in a small garage and I tire easily. I did the doors and trunk lid yesterday and as difficult as black is to spray (shows up any imperfections) it came out great. I have been using a 33 gal compressor with the lvlp 500 Sprayit gun that I have learned about watching your videos as well. Thank you!
You’re welcome and I really appreciate you watching the videos and I’m glad the videos were helpful Francis! I’d like to see your finished product when you’re done
Nice 👍 Like SprayWay says - runs are par for the course ✌ Have a good weekend my friend 😊
Thanks for checking out the Corolla Jerry and I’m glad I have learned how to take care of sags and runs and I got some fellow RUclips friends such as yourself to learn from 💪🏾 have a good weekend my friend!
@@UndergroundPaintKing RUclips is a good place. I've met some good people - makes you feel better about the world. Just don't watch the news ✌
@@LakesideAutobody yeah the news isn’t even worth watching nowadays, not enough truth being told for me

Single stage white! Thank you! I'm wanting to shoot my 96 Buick Roadmaster sedan Single stage white.
I hope the video was helpful and I appreciate you checking it out!
Dude, you spray with both hands? Dang that's talent right there sir! Hope you find a chance to spray a red single stage or black one day soon (non-metallic) of course.
Yes sir I do💪🏾 I appreciate you checking out the video Phordguy💯
I love your videos! You have taught me a lot. I run two 20-gallon compressors connected together. Do you use a fan for air circulation? Whatever you use, it seems to work great! I don't see a lot of overspray in the air.
Thanks Bill , I appreciate you watching the videos and yes I have a exhaust system in my shop that keeps the overspray to a minimum
Single stage is nice, i like mixing in about 25% clear in it.
I might try that next time, I appreciate you checking out the video!
@@UndergroundPaintKing Try it, its an old hot rod trick. probably make a test spray first though.. So there is no strange reaction. Gives extra gloss and hardness. Love the videos. God Bless.
@@theservant752 I’m definitely gonna try some test panels and I appreciate the tip and appreciate you checking out the videos 🙏🏽
Those paint sags can be wet sanded and buffed out. Because you added a hardener, this can be fixed easily.
Thanks, I appreciate you and I actually have a video on the channel of me fixing the sags!
King another great video. Thank you so much sir for doing this for us.
questions I have
1. Is single stage easier to do for beginner or or 2 stage (base and clear)?
2. Why do you want to do single stage vs 2 stage?
3. Do you think for classic car single stage is better ?
4. Does single stage last as long as 2 stage?
Maybe if you can do a video explaining advantage and disadvantage of each?
It depends on what you plan on spraying honestly, solid color single stage can be easy for a beginner but metallic single stage can be difficult but with base clear it can be a little more forgiving with different techniques when it comes to spraying metallic.
For a lot of people, I believe cost plays a big factor in choosing single stage over base clear and when single stage is done right it has a great finish.
I honestly can’t say that single stage is better for classic cars, I think that’s really determined by what kind of finished product you’re looking for.
If both are done right and kept up with, and maintained I believe they both will last for a long time.
I hope that was helpful and I’ll try to to do a video on this subject Borna Nel
Looks good .
Thanks Tim, I appreciate you checking it out!
@@UndergroundPaintKing You Welcome , I always been a car builder of sorts I say it like that because I'm the average blue collar hard working guy and never really had the money I would like to go all the way on my builds . I'm ready to take some chances and try and finish some of my projects to sell I have quite a few but really don't have a choice I'm getting divorced soon and will stepping up my game to finish vehicles to get more money out of them. Anyways I always been a good sprayer but body work not so much and the saying is 90% body work and 10% paint is the truth. I'm just watching people do what I like and want to learn. I really don't have a lot of time I'm self employed and work almost every day but I"m going to start a youtube channel my self and see where it goes at first it will just be a go-pro unedited video for a little while. It might be yet another place for people to go and get away from the world for a bit as I say.
@@timsharpe2419 sorry to hear about how things are going for you right now but things will get better and I know the RUclips channel you start will be a great help to you and many others that will be watching 💯💪🏾

Think of it like spraying clear on a cold day !!! spray 1st coat and check your paper to see how tacky it is before shooting your 2nd round (temperature can be your friend or enemy ) you got this don't sweat it
Thanks for that tip I’ll definitely keep it in mind when I spray some metallic 💯
Beater witha heater definitely in the lingo for now on 😂😂
😂😂😂 appreciate you Sarrain for checking out the video!
Surprised there's so little overspray, I would have paint all over my floor and garage! Nice job, looks great, just get those runs out and done.
Yeah this spray gun is very low on overspray which makes it a great option for DIYers doing it at home in a garage! I’m gonna knock out them runs and it’s going out the door 👌🏾appreciate you checking out the video!
Lvlp gun
I bet the customer wasn't complaining its single stage paint this not a real paintjob lil light buff we out !! 💯
The customer was very happy with it! I appreciate you checking it out 💯
Thanks for putting out content on small compressor jobs for regular people. What fluid tip did you use for single stage? Thanks
You’re welcome, and I used the 1.3 tip dirtbadger. I appreciate you checking out the video!
Hey you got some paint on your beard
What kind of small compressor?
I just painted single-stage white paint today on our work truck. Nason brand what I found out about runs was I was overlapping too much and moving a little too slow.
I only had 1 run in the paint and this is a single axle dump truck with 3 coats of paint.
I thought I was moving pretty fast but I honestly think my air regulator was taking a dump on me🤦🏽♂️ I appreciate you checking out the video!
@UndergroundPaintKing No problem bro don't know if this makes a difference I was painting acrylic enamel I think u said u were using acrylic urethane??
I also was spraying at 30 psi.
@@ysitrim88 I’m gonna try a few tests panels and get it down!
About to spray my 02 Mustang GT. Ive been a little afraid to mess it up but i appreciate the videos. Factory color is E9 which i believe is metallic or pearl-ish...
You got this 💯 good luck to you 💪🏾
it's funny, usually when you pull the trigger on your paint gun, your air compressor comes on 3 seconds later, but not today, i seen in another comment you said your regulator might be acting up. car still looks pretty good, and no orange peel
Thanks Ed I appreciate you checking out the video and I’ve changed my regulator so I’m gonna see if that helps, I think the reducer helped it flow out nice!
Nice job bro. I can’t wait to paint my car I have to wait till the summer. Here in Washington it too cold. Do you have the website you buy your paint from.
Thanks I appreciate you Rafael and I get my paint locally but you can check with SPEEDOKOTE, a lot of people talk about it and use it and hopefully that weather will break for you soon 💯
Man, your videos are AWESOME, thanks a lot!
I just got a Vevor 4.8 Gallons 2.2CFM@90PSI and I didn't realize that something similar to this size might be actually capable to be used to paint cars. Do you think that I have to upgrade to at least to a Vevor 6.3 Gallons 3.35CFM@90PSI compressor before even thinking about painting my car with an R500 LVLP gun using a single stage paint?
Or even that would be too small of a compressor?
BTW, huuuuge thanks for showing that runs on the paint, because most RUclipsrs are showing only their perfect jobs on the perfectly prepared cars and the problem is that I haven't done a single car painting job in my life, obviously I'll have a car not perfectly prepared and obviously I'll have runs and all sorts of other problems with applying the paint so big shout out to you for showing that this might happen and what to do to avoid or correct that.
And thanks for showing step by step how to prep the car, how to set up the gun, what problems you may get and so on. It's all in a few vids and it's super informative.
You're the best, keep it up for the beginners like me to get out and try to do something too, no matter that it won't be perfect from the first try!
You’re welcome and I’m glad the videos have been helpful and I appreciate you checking them out, it’s my goal to help as many people as possible! As far as compressor suggestions go, you want to get a compressor that will consistently deliver the cfm required by the spray gun which in the case of the R500 is 3.5-3.9 cfm and if you’re doing a whole vehicle I recommend a bigger tank around 21-30 gallons which will make things much easier for you. You can do a lot with the smaller tank compressors but doing a whole vehicle with one can be challenging. I hope that helps 💯
@@UndergroundPaintKingit sure does, thank you!
@@Kayaker123 you’re welcome!
I'm not sure if you've answered this or not, but how do you set the r500 up for single stage? I see you spray it at 26psi, I'm curious about fan, and fluid settings. I just got the a610 after watching your videos, and can't wait to try it out. Thank you for these videos.
I had my spray gun at full fan and full Fluid, you can use that as a starting point and then make adjustments if needed, I hope that helps!
Beetle juice’s cousin be educating the masses
Am I Beetle Juice cousin?🤔 is that what you’re saying
Love the Videos UPK, wanted to pick your brain on painting an auction purchased crown vic that has white doors and front and back is black. I want to paint it a solid black color, would you suggest single stage or BC/CC. How would you tackle such a difference in colors on the body panels. Should I prime the white with tinted primer and then spray the whole car black? What are your thoughts....
I honestly think either way, bc/cc or single stage would work great for what you want to do and if you simply have to sand the panels with no bodywork you could possibly paint the whole vehicle without having to prime or seal anything but it just depends on the condition of the vehicle. If it’s a simple sand and paint I probably would paint the white doors first and get good coverage on them then continue with the rest of the body until I have good coverage. Hope that helps Denis!
It would be nice to see u do a single stage metallic, not to shabby bty
Thanks Xavier, I appreciate you checking it out and maybe in the future I’ll do a single stage metallic!
You put the first coat on too wet you need to have a cover coat in medium giving enough time between 1st and 2nd coat for the paint to have something to stick to! After two coats for leveling you can add some reducer and do multiple misting costs for leveling! You also need to have a plan in painting you were a little helder skelder!
Appreciate you checking out the video Robert
Great job as usual I have been told to not try single stage for your first paint job.Will single stage hold up to UV rays
.I will definitely b watching for more single stage.Thanks
Depending on where you are you may want to spray clear over the single stage. I think metallic single stage can be harder but still doable
Great work, Sir! I have a question for you.. Can both a Volkswagen LA7W Standox solvent base (+60% of acrylic thinner) and the next 2K anti-scratch clear coat (mixing ratio: 2:1+10% of acrylic thinner) be sprayed with a H-2000 mini gun having a 0.5 mm tip? Or is it required a bigger tip? I have to do only a little spot repair. Thanks a lot!
Thanks Massimo I appreciate you and your mini gun should be able to do the spot repair for you
Light sand buff takes care of the sags
I have a video of me fixing the sags and they came out fine Arnie!
im about to start buying a compressor and gun for my first spray job... doing up an old Landcruiser over here in Australia.. everyone keeps telling me i cant do it without buying a 12 CFM/300LPM or higher compressor what sort of specs should I go for in a smaller compressor? would a 50L 12CFM 200LPM compressor work? thanks for your videos mate it gives me hope!
If you know what spray gun you’re going with it’s best to have a compressor that can deliver the required cfm of the spray gun so that you get consistency in your air flow
I kinda like spraying single stage. Just did a small commercial fridge single stage acrylic enamel. Black. Turned out well enuf. Back to watching the video😂 See how the UPK did on the single stage👍
Appreciate you checking out the video so far Bear😂
@@UndergroundPaintKing bonus content! Fixing runs in single stage. Looking good overall and once those runs are history, I bet the owner will be more than happy with the results👍
@@BearBudgetTurbine thanks Bear, I’ll try to have that content out soon!
good job, so before you spray are you clean car with degreaser or acetone?
Thanks I appreciate you and I usually use grease and wax remover
Some videos made me feel like it's wrong to paint while the compressor is pumping...guess they were wrong!! Paint turned out great.
Thanks MattesGarage, you can definitely do it and I appreciate you checking out the video 💯
Dude sounds just like ice cube!😂 Good job tho bro
😂😂😂 I keep being told that! Appreciate you checking out the video!
What tip size brother ? 1.3? Just making sure I’m set for my spray job tomoro I’m laying down some color !!! Thx king you the best !
Yes sir Gary, 1.3 tip💯
Work slowly and do everything possible to control the moisture from small air compressors...moisture control is the key factor.
Thanks I appreciate the advice Rick!
I added two clear coats over my single stage paint job cause my truck is street parked, in California, with minimal shade , the sun is harsh here on paint jobs. Just an extra precaution
I definitely understand that reason, here in Michigan we don’t really have that issue. I appreciate you checking out the video!
@@UndergroundPaintKing yeah, and I didn’t use reducer cause I was afraid of runs also🤣😂. I definitely enjoy your videos cause I can always use some advice . 👍🏽👍🏽and learn a thing or two.
@@theoldfartsgarage I’m gonna try with no reducer and see how it goes next time
I’m shooting my Silverado soon if I need to put my money where my mouth is. Not a problem. I’m using single stage urethane dealer replacement paint from the paint store in laguna Niguel socal. I’m spraying in my drive way I guesss Been fixing 8 spots a luisvill slugger batt found the body about twelve years ago when u used my truck at work repoing …. Only time used personal truck and had drama. Anyhow. Peace
Sucks that happened to your truck but I’m sure you’re gonna have it back right 💯💪🏾
Totally respect your decision not to clear but out of curiosity doesn't clearing increase the durability some?
Yes it would increase the durability, I just still see it as doing a 2 stage paint job which I would just prefer doing base/clear at that point
Depending on how your gun flows out the paint and compressor specifically weather temperature humidity all plays a part
Typically I use a slow to very slow reducer out of a 1.3 hte gun
The gun settings also play a part 2 bars cfm material wide open till hits trigger full fan open
First coat med wet
Let the reducer flow the paint while it dries
Next coat medium heavy
Last coat if needed before it dries still semi wet throw a fast wet coat that's it
Thanks for the info Paul, I really appreciate you🙏🏽💯
When you say “small compressor” aside from a 30 gallon tank what’s your take on a oil-less vs conventional oiled pump? Would you recommend one over the other? Much thanks!
I have used both and if I had to choose I probably would go oil-less because of no oil and a little quieter, hope that helps and I appreciate you checking out the video!
Whats small size compressor you running now?keep up the good work!
Thanks Rudy, I appreciate you and The compressor I use is a 21 gallon compressor💯
using the cheap HF purple gun with a 20 gallon 200psi compressor do you think I can get an ok paintjob done single stage? I am painting a small car (datsun 510) how much of the car do you think I will be able to spray before compressor has to catch up? Thanks for your awesome content.
That gun requires 6 cfm to function properly so if your compressor can’t handle that just take your time and allow the compressor to catch up and you’ll still be able to get a great job💯 I appreciate you checking out the videos 🙏🏽
The issue with using a small compressor is that the air gets way to hot and the paint dries to fast and by the end you start getting defects in the paint laying down
I haven’t had that issue yet and I’ve done quite a few paint jobs with my small compressor, and a few here on the channel but I appreciate the info, it may help someone else.
How do you get around them tail spoilers and some protruding door handles. Its hard to get behind stuff
You can spray in different angles or just remove the parts if that doesn’t work for you
