Very impressive. I think you’ve found an excellent way to help the consumer save money yet not sacrifice performance. I’ll be testing this out this weekend on a few spray panels to see if I can replicate your results. Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome. The sandwich bags I'm using that worked the best are sold at our local Goodwill type store - St. Vinny's. They cost $1.59 for 200 sandwich bags, the brand name is KingZak under the package name "Nicole Home Collection Sandwich Bags Fold & Close. I just took inventory of my PPS liner supply and was amazed that I still have so many 3M liners and lids that I haven't used yet. This mod definitely saves me on lids and liners. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Thank you for the feed back. I recently watched a video from Brian with Paint Society hooking up with John from Apollo along with their local Apollo rep using their new 6 stage unit. I wish you could collaborate with Brian from Paint Society to do several instructional videos on how to use a turbine sprayer. People just don’t realize the untapped potential of these units. And I’m speaking solely on the automotive side. I think I can speak for most viewers that it would be amazing to get some tutorials on different needle/cap combinations along with techniques for beginners when it comes to automotive spraying. I’m a huge fan and supporter and just want to thank you again for sharing your knowledge and experience with the rest of us. On another note… would you recommend the A Cap along with a 0.8 needle on the Apollo 7700t for most base coat/clear coat applications? Using a 5 stage unit with 9.5psi and your Flexzilla hose set up.
The A air cap with the 0.8mm needle and tip can be used for most base coats, but with some clear coats it's better to use the 1.0mm needle and tip with the A air cap. It will work with the 0.8mm and I've tested it with Spies Hecker 8096 clear coat on the red hood in one of my videos. The problem with using a smaller 0.8mm vs 1.0mm is the final dry film build you get will be less and you have to make sure you achieve the manufacturer recommended dry film build of the clear coat you are using or it will be thin. There are people who spray with thinned clear coats and it looks good on video but when you put a mil thickness gauge on it does it achieve the manufacturer recommended dry film build?
Hi - I am in the UK but would like to know exactly what you bought, please? I was thinking of incorporating a pressure switch to shut the motor off when the pressure in the pipe increases.
For this video I only had the 1.3mm that was in the Avanit kit. However, for most other turbine spraying projects and using a different brand spray gun, I would use 1.3/1.5mm -1.8mm for primers, 0.8mm for base coat, and most often a 1.0mm for clear coat. The 0.8mm will work for clear but the mils paint thickness you have to make sure it's thick enough when dry. Some painters will over reduce to get the clear to flow thru a small 0.8mm, I bump up to the 1.0mm instead. Also, the 1.3 will work and you can move faster, but watch out for runs from hosing it on too thick. Or, if you only have one needle and tip it will work, but there are work arounds to consider.
@@JakeLesada your going to realize paint and primer consistency is important,, not going to spray right after atomize if it's too thick with only 10 psi,, high build primers your going to need 1.8 ,,, all others 1.3 is fine

4:34 get a remote control on off for your turbine, 30 dollars l love mine I put on my fugi
I'll, look into to that at my local hardware center. Thank you for watching and the great suggestion.

Do you use the same Nozzle size for primer, base and clear?
