Hey guys! The number one question I have been getting in the comments is what settings are the gun at. Fluid wide open Fan wide open Pressure 35 psi Air valve on the bottom, wide open
Great video! I am in Trinidad and I tried this gun. The base went on smooth enough but the clear would not and I got a lot of orange peel in the finish. Could it be pressure too low, clear too thick or both. This is my first attempt at painting a car. Thanks for the videos they help a lot.
Thanks for a very honest evaluation. I built a multi-million dollar construction company starting out with Harbor Freight tools... still have some of them. I progressed to pro quality as I could afford it. I’m tired of snarky comments. A rock is a hammer in the right situation! God bless.
I've used this paint gun to spray several parts on modern cars because they are small now a days, unlike classic American cars...each fender & door was the size of a table, & hoods the size of a king size mattress. Since I'm not a "professional," the cheap harbor freight paint gun has worked great on the once in a while Asian car panel that I have to pain. I yes, the result is great. Obviously the spray gun is cheaply made. You shake it and you can hear every part rattle, especially the trigger.
I was an auto shop teacher, I had students do a paint project( dented mail boxes) to give them some idea of body work and paint. We used these guns with really good results. From primer to clear coat. Getting the mix and pressure right is the key. Thanks for the video!
Brian’s distance & overlap has the accuracy of a robot. He makes it look effortless. Gun may be ok but his skill set is the main reason the paint looks excellent. I found it helpful to practice the motions with the gun connected to the hose before actually spraying to develop some motor memory. Thanks for all bout videos.
Right! Ypu definitely see the difference when they put it on the car at the end. He made this paint gun look good because of his skillset. Not so much the gun.
Good to see a bumper being painted like this with the same hang position as on the car. So many people dont do this and change the metalic laydown against the adjacent panels. I Used to us a clothes stand with thick welding rods and my colours were always spot on against the adjacent panels.
After one video I subscribed. I've been spraying plasti dip for 6yrs out of paint guns because I wanna be a painter and a little chicken shit too. After watching him I've discovered my practices are are paint worthy, and I might give it a go soon. Lots of knowledge coming from this guy! Great content as well.
@@BlackMountainCycles in rwgards to coats you still have to spray the recommended amount, untill you get the paint gun down or it will he hard to peel. Sp it just depends on the size of the car and what addictive youre using as far as flake and glitter n such.
Used that gun to paint a complete engine with eastwoods 2k matte black and i gotta say I was impressed. Never used a paint gun before and I set it up wide open everything at about 35 psi just like you and the results were outstanding
I’ve used this exact gun but for spraying wood projects, both clear and color have been ran through it. A single gun has lasted me over two years just using lacquer thinner/Acetone for clean up. It’s long retired now, but for $16 ($12 with the coupon when available) you won’t find anything better in said price range, guarantee you that much. You are correct about the gun needing to be cranked way up, which is annoying. However if you use it a couple times for random projects, it’s not bad. If you are new to spraying, you could easily learn on it without breaking the bank, but eventually I’d upgrade to something more quality.
@@sixgunfred1187 lol.. Because spraying toxic chemicals isn't "adding to pollution" I agree, pitching them is wasteful, but let's not pretend the environment is top of mind while spraying paint..
Just painted my miata with this gun. very happy with the results. clear coat didn’t turn out the best but i’m pretty sure it was the actual clear coat itself. After adjusting and learning how to spray it’s honestly a good gun
I was watching this video and then my neighbour came and we watched it together. He said that this video changed his life and touched his heart. I then went and rented a projector in a big field and all my villagers watched it and it changed their lives too. We all are so grateful. Thank you for this video!😊
This is my husband's account but I'm the one always making the comments. I like the explanation on this video and how easy he made it look using the HF paint gun. I'm not painting a car or anything bit but have my little home projects that I truly believe this paint gun will be very handy. Thx ☺
Perfect timing I’m pretty decent with rattle cans and while I have so much time on my hands right now I’m gonna fix my hood that’s got blisters under the paint. This will help me thank you!
I used this to paint a Telecaster guitar body and for small projects like mine, it is pretty good. I have even used their mini detail spray gun but the bad thing about those are they are real tricky to clean properly but they have their place among hobbyists. Brian is right. I wouldn't trust it to paint a car but for little jobs, it's pretty decent.
I just sprayed my second job. First one had tons of orange peel, didn't look super great. Watched some more Paint Society videos, sprayed another car today using what I learned. Looks like glass from this gun. Just changed my prep and technique. Thanks!
I just love this channel. I do a lot of rattle can spraying on quad frames and fenders and the information shared in your videos have helped me tremendously.
i painted a front fender of my car with a high end DuPont metallic paint and clear coat using one of these guns and got totally professional results on the first try with this gun. That was 16 years and the job still looks beautiful.
Thank you for showing that clear coat can be actually applied in a gloss finish with such cheap gun. Every single time I tried to paint something for my cars, I failed in the clear coat step, the end result had massive orange peel. I have the feeling that it is hard for the gun to atomize the clear, rising the pressure kind of helped a little bit. Never added thinner to the clear, maybe it’s worth trying.
Maybe you're too close to the parts, or you are moving too slow and too much clear is building up to the point that you get orange peel. Always try moving a little faster than usual because you can always come back to respray to compensate if you are getting results like an overspray by moving overly fast. Practice your hand, arm, & body movement with the paint gun for a while without actually painting just so you can build up a sense of how you will be painting; some people freeze-up a little as they are spraying. This will help to give you some confidence. I've just finished painting a fender & a front bumper cover for my Prius, using this same 1.4 paint gun that I had for 2 years when I painted my mustang's fender. When I was first learning how to paint, it was the clear coat that was the nerve -racking part of spraying. Mess up on the clear coat & the whole work has to be redone.
Been running a body shop for 9 years. I use a devilbiss tekna for my clear and a devilbiss gti for my color. I bought this exact gun for 14.99 yesterday at harbor freight. And I’m seriously astonished with the results. This gun is amazing. Only thing that bothered me was the special wrench wasn’t included lol. Lots of grease inside the gun when you buy it. Make sure you clean it really good before first use.
@@robmcguire9756I'm guessing that's a sense of humor ? See , I don't have one. So it's hard to tell. Seing the ridiculous things I see any more, I must point out to those with no sense of humor who are the most gullible people on earth, any adjustable wrench will allow you to disassemble your brain. You know.... to clean it.
@@erickaufmancustomguitars1351 I know what size it is 19mm x 2.5mm thick some times I wish I had a wrench 2.5 mm Thick nobody makes a wrench that thin that I know of
@@robmcguire9756 ah, I get it now. I have little experience making tools, but some. I used a grinding wheel to modify a socket to be thin walled years ago to adjust a Jackson guitar truss rod. I still have it lol. But naturally I have found the appropriate tool from a dude driving a mac tools tool truck. After he realized I wasn't trying to car jack him, he was happy to sell me a nice thin wall, deep well socket that is really nice. Here's to hoping you get what ya need bro. Cheers...
I’m considering painting my car this summer. I think I’ll actually get this one. I usually like to stay far away from Harbor Freight, but I’m actually very impressed! Nice job 👍
They lay paint down nicely...they are cheap but the manufacturer does make improvements over time...I just purchased one again and it's much nicer than the model I have from 2 years ago ...I use a screw on filter at the gun and set Regulator at about 32psi
Thank you for this. I will be repainting my '06 Mazda 6 hood Black Ebony and considered using this gun as I don't own any. Even after my dad lent me his excellent gun I considered buying and using this anyway, just to avoid the hassle of trying to return something better than the condition in which it was borrowed. But when you said, "don't use it to clear coat a hood" I said, "welp! That settles it!" Thank you for saving me all the frustration and great video production....Subbed!
I'm repairing a pickup I just picked up. Don't need to buy a $500+ gun. It's a one time use thing for me. As long as it lays the paint down decent, I'll be happy. Thanks for the honest review.
Thanks so much your videos and especially this one. I did my first primer job today with my Harbor Freight gun. I watch your videos daily. Thanks for giving me the confidence to do it.
Worked great on my Minneapolis Moline tractor , school bus yellow . And yes it is hard to adjust the flow pushing more air than I want . But 9.99 on sale use and toss .
They work awesome even for the DIYer. Great results with it painting a Chevy Small Block and a Jeep Straight 6. Used thick ceramic engine paint and a homeowner grade little air compressor. Paint went on beautiful.
@@losandreas6443 you'd be wrong. A Chevy small block is probably a cast block, with tons of pitting and inconsistency in the surface. You can probably paint it with a brush and people wouldn't notice, provided the mix is thin enough.
@@CafeRacer1975 Your opinion is funny as well, because I do this for a living and can tell. Its just whether the persons doing the job is ok with how it comes out ultimately if not done professionally. This is not a case of probability.
What a great outcome! I am restoring an antique tractor implement on my channel right now and using that same paint gun. So far I've only shot primer with it but it's done great so far! I also believe it's a great option when working on a project with a budget in mind.
I was about to comment that the reason you're getting good results is because you're a professional. But you explained that in your 3.5 rating at the end of the video. Thank you for the last bit, it's important to explain how someone who's a beginner using a tool made this cheap would have a helluva time getting results like yours. And could also discourage someone from wanting to learn the craft with their first experience using a 15 dollar tool. Good video overall, very informative, edited and shot nicely, and you're great in front of the camera. I'm gonna subscribe.
I've never sprayed 2K, so I don't know it's spraying characteristics, but for lacquer, this gun has been incredibly good to me. There are some little tricks I've had to learn, but for a cheap gun I bought on a whim, I've never felt the need to replace it. If I thin lacquer about 10%, this gun lays it down nearly perfectly, and with a few fog coats shortly after my last wet coat, the finish flows out and has almost no orange peel. Especially if I fog coat between every wet coat. I'm considering using it for my first automotive painting attempt. I'm pretty confident that if I carry over the little tricks I use for lacquer, I'll be able to lay down a damn-near-perfect finish. To anybody reading this and considering the gun; Buy it and use it. Give yourself some time with it to learn its needs, don't try anything too serious until you know the gun well. But I think if you're patient and give it a chance, you'll be impressed with what you can do with it. I build 2k-3k custom guitars and use this gun on all of them. I get absolutely flawless finishes with it, though I do have to do some minimal wetsanding/buffing. But that's to be expected with any gun, even the top dollar ones. Just takes some experience.
@@bobgreene2892 The gun is finicky and sometimes demands different pressures, but that's mostly down to what lacquer and cut strength I'm using. But yes, usually around 35. As for what capacity for auto work, I can't say with any authority as I never got around to it. But I would imagine you'd really want a 30 gallon tank. That said, if you're doing individual panels, you can probably get away with a 5/10 gallon compressor if it has a decent motor that can keep up. I spray whole acoustic guitar bodies with a 5 gallon Kobalt compressor and it keeps up fine. Probably the same surface area as most auto body panels. Definitely wouldn't try to paint a whole car in place with that setup though. All that said, I'm still using the same gun and it's still doing great. Had to replace a couple seals with off the shelf stuff. No big deal. Worth the tiny investment for sure.
Hey this harbor freight spray gun can so from primer to clear, including metallic, candy, and base. I have been using this very gun for 15+ years most recently painted 1992 Ford LTL 9000 Log Truck and 2004 Ford F250. They have primer, 3 different metallic base colors, Rudy Candy Red, and Clear coat. Would love to share some pictures with you Brian. Candy paint and Clear need to have 44psi air to lay either of the 2. As long as the gun is properly cleaned and stored it will last through years of painting.
@@PhillipHall01 You set the pressure to the minimum pressure that will fully atomize the paint. The pressure needed depends on the viscosity of the paint/primer/sealer. Always test the spray pattern on some paper or cardboard before applying.
Sad ta say I bought one no wonder why my paint came out crapy and I didn't turn my compressor down to 55 psi so I'm learning how to with guys like you so thank you
I just bought a Harbor Freight gun and was able to paint my 1987 Ford 150 with its original two-tone color combo, including a metallic color and it came out great! First vehicle I’ve painted in 45 years!
@@waynewilliams5802 Ikr like solvents wont chew threw cheap aluminum tips faster than on stainless steel causing eventually wasted material and spattering etc but you go paint a ferrari with an old calligraphy brush an d lets admire that fine detail work LOL
My dad, three uncles and grandpa all did body and paint collectively with about 175 years experience. So I know body and paint a little. At the end of the day, a major portion of the quality comes down to the person and their talent. Followed by materials. Tools, although important do not make the majority of the paint job importance. I was never good at body. Paint I became ok. But it definitely ended with my dads generation.
Thanks for posting these videos. You were a huge help on making my paint project turned out the way it did. I didn’t know how to set a spray gun until now or how long to wait between coats.
I think a $700 gun in my hands wouldn’t work as well as a $15.00 gun in your hands. I just bought one and will be happy if my results beat rattle cans. Thanks Brian, I really benefit from watching your videos!
I could tell when you sprayed it on the paper that you would be working. I think it's a very important step in painting. Better than spraying it on your panel and trying to adjust. Thank you for such a great channel to learn from
I bought the two HF guns (small and large) back in 2005 to paint my $90,000 airplane.. Came out great. I'm still using those 16 year old guns for repairs and spray jobs today. Of course I only use them a couple of times a year on average but they still work almost as good to day as when they were new.
I used these cheap spray guns for several paint jobs the biggest difference is in the painter who adjusts for temperature - humidity-paint quality ect. This bumper looks fine!
Dude the gun may be 3.5 star rating ,but the way how you explained it deserves not 5 stars''I give you 10 stars my friend,,, simple,comprehendible,honest keep it up young man...
It looks great to me, and for that price it looks excellent ! Sometimes i wonder why those paintshops ask 450 dollar for spraying a fender, let me do it with this one and i will be happy !
Used one of those very same guns on a dark green metallic Chevy Blazer, the job was a door bottom fender bottom and rear quarter bottom, the job came out just great for a shade tree body guy. Bad Chad uses cheap spay guns, says he uses them 3 or 4 tmes the chucks them and gets new ones. Liked the video you were honest and showed that the cheap guns can do the job. 35lbs at the gun,I will have to remember that along with all valves full open .
Another great video. To be honest I must say I have some critique though because the test he put the gun through was at a higher standard than he would have put the same high end gun through, since he has multiple guns to tackle different phases of the process from the primer, pant, and clear coat phases. Now we're talking 3 guns ($1800+). 6:59 What he just said is that up to that point of the project the $16 gun did the same as $700 gun. 7:09 What you're really paying for is 'ease of use'. 9:00 He had to work really really really hard. In plain English that means if you're actually too lazy to bust ass lifting that heavy 2.5 lb. gun and having to actually 'work', you have no business working on cars anyways. Keep your office job. It also means you saved around $650 that you can spend for paint. Having said all that, I agree the higher end guns are built to last, but for $16 you could buy 40+ guns for the price of one $600-$800 gun. And if that high end gun bites the dust unless it has warrantee you're screwed. For anyone less than a full-time pro you'd be just silly to buy the high-end model. 10:17 Don't overthink it. Just buy the cheap gun, paint your car with it and throw it in the trash.
I used that gun for hibuild primers for 10 years. I wouldn’t recommend doing it to a new guy because a good paint job starts with the prep work and that gun makes your prep and sand work twice as hard. Use the best tool for the job, not just the right tool for the job. Great video sir.
Bode, Honest question. If we set it up fan wide open, fluid wide open, at 35 psi. like he said on the beginning comments, where is the extra work in set up? Thanks
I just blended silver metallic and then clear with a 10$ gun. Absolutely no one except the ones that are doing this as a profession could tell it was made by me . And it was the first time using paint guns and compressors. After watching hundred of vids on RUclips. But coming from spray cans and 1k clear junk this type of working and with this type of tools is piece of cake
Thank you for that sincere presentation. The Majority of people I know who paint cars and trucks start small and work hard to the next levels as time moves on. It's the same with the tools of the trade or profession. Why spend money, when one can achieve success getting the same effect using a lesser grade tool. It's experience first, then the tool. The tool, then, is as good as the person using it. That is true with any trade or profession. Your video was terrific and extremely educational. Thank you!🧐👍
it's all in the painter I say :) I have used tons of cheap guns from HF guns to lowes Husky guns to some more prof guns like the tekna .. started with a binks 7 back in the early 90's still have a couple of them lol... great guns .
I think spending the paint gun for $15 or even less is amazing for smaller projects! I think you're 3.5 rating is fair for other Professionals who use the gun every day but it's a 5 for weekend DIYers!
Retired painter : I've just started watching paint videos and I'm actually impressed. You didn't bash the HF spray gun . The paint job does depend on the painter not the gun. They're not a Sata or Iwata but they get the job done. I'll leave the bashing to the snobs and wannabes. Thanks.
Harbor Freight is a poor mans paradise. Got. Quite to paint my faded hood and roof on a small single cab truck for $3,000. My response: “she ain’t winning any beauty contests and she’s only worth $1,500. Will have to try out the $16 gun.
I've seen guys do amazing paint jobs and even art with rattle cans, especially those Benjamin Moore cans that had the nice fine mist fanned out nozzles on them. Skill is the big factor to my way of thinking.
@@moxine_ I used to paint House windows.....b 4 intalled the glass....the guy who hire me he does window's and commercial doors big one sometimes...and I'll just paint them thats all you tought door's from car's come on.🤣
I use these for primer and utility coats like trailers/farm equipment etc where I am just doing protection finishes. I even painted my brother's old truck with it using tractor paint, works good for that stuff.
I love painting/body work it’s been in the family so long I remember helping my grandpa every single morning on summer days lol. About to get into it and take it serious 🤘👍
Brian, you won a large group of subscribers by simply addressing our interest in beginning to paint. Since not many beginners can justify immediate purchase of an expensive, "professional" paint gun, there is a large market for training-class paint guns. Basically, this training market segment serves those who want only to satisfy their curiosity and their own developing interest. This same entry-level market also serves those who know basic techniques, but are satisfied with "good enough" results. You need not worry about leaving the wrong impression about better-quality paint guns. Since quality sells itself, we eventually will understand the need to invest in a gun costing hundreds of dollars more. * 1. Beyond purchase of a paint gun, the next item which many of us need is a basic, reliable air compressor. We were delighted to find your video, ""The Cheapest Way to Paint a Car with Amazing Results". * 2. You spray with a preference for a two-part system, which requires a mask. However, many of us have heard about the use of "water-based" automotive paint by the automotive manufacturers. Have you covered that topic, yet?
Dont you love it when a RUclipsr makes a video about ” how it’s going to come out “ let’s seek the results etc and in the title it already had the answer but .. you keep watching and realize the video was so damn good it didn’t matter if you already knew the answer ?!
Yes, because HE was the painter using it. In lesser hands, the paint job would probably not fare as well. He didn't bash the gun, he just said there are better choices for DIY'ers.
I used that gun for everything but primer and touch ups for years! Seemed like though back in the day when I started spraying the fancy guns were kind of unnecessary when I apprenticed we were taught it didn't matter if we had to spread paint with a mop because the quality was all in prep and polish everything wet sanded smooth with a thick clear coat and it looked good and everyone was happy. I still believe that sure if you are a professional you ought to take advantage of anything that gives a better end product or makes the process more consistent or efficient and you owe it to your customers to do what you can. But...that being said if all I have at the shop is rattle cans and my customer wants to trade instead of pay, know that that car isn't going to leave the booth until I feel confident that it will look good, perform well and speak well to my brand. Painting or any art for that matter has to be more about maximizing hard work and talent before anything because if you can do it like that you are going to be a straight rockstar when you catch up to the tech and the whole industry will get better. That's what it's all about I think. You do awesome videos man. Much love and much respect🍻 edit: my business partner just reminded me we had a different gun for clear as well so I guess I didn't use it for clear coat.
What no regulator included!😱😭. I can spray with a home improvement gun, but will spend a lot of time buffing. With my SATA, i can almost spray blind folded , and get an awesome finish...ask me how i know. Great video !
Like your paint booth and your sweeping back and forth was mesmerizing. Your summary reminded me of driving to work and seeing a couple riding $5,200 carbon fiber bicycles. Never saw them again. I like to get into some activity as cheaply as possible. Can’t ever tell if I’m going to enjoy something.
I have the same gun. Keep it clean and don't expect it to work or feel like a $500 gun. A good painter can get better results from a cheap gun than a bad painter can get from an expensive one. It's a tool. Cheap tools work if you know how to use them. Some better than others. You don't need to spend hundreds for a gun to paint your car in your garage. Just like you don't need to buy snap on tools to do an oil change. If you know what you're doing, you can work with what you have.
Like pretty much anything else. If you take good care and clean it properly after use. Be sure that it can outlive yourself! BTW I'm not kidding! Hear say and gossip, in general, are very bad advisers. ;-)
When I first started painting semi trucks, didn't have any money to buy a good spray gun until my 4th week. I used This spray gun to paint commercial heavy duty trucks and delivered good results. Its all about the Painter, but it make the job easier to use an expensive spray gun.
I bought the purple for high build primers. First, you need to really clean it out of the box. They use some thick assembly lubricant that gets gummy. I also drilled out the tip to 2mm and then manually 'seated' the tip. Hopefully this will allow more flow for thicker primers. Great video. thanks.
You got me to subscribe with that 3.5 rating. Meaning, knowing that you are considering a newbie, and putting yourself in our shoes is huge. Show great intelligence!
I just used the 25 dollar green harbor freight gun it turned out awesome. I will say the trigger is a bit clunky they don't fan down very well and make lots of overspray . Keep in mind spraying in a booth is optimal conditions.

Just did mine yesterday bought two different guns for my project two different colors came out good.. tossed the guns proud of the job ..
Yeah mon
For a $15.00 dollar gun you did an amazing job on that bumper ! it looks really good.
I was watching this video and then my neighbour came and we watched it together. He said that this video changed his life and touched his heart. I then went and rented a projector in a big field and all my villagers watched it and it changed their lives too. We all are so grateful.
Thank you for this video!😊
People who disliked this video overpaid for their spray guns lol
Alex Brover noooooo, I’ve owned 2 of Thoes guns, they are horrible and waste a lot of paint transfer.
They probably also financed their waterbed!
@@amycyclenut LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They didn’t have the coupon Whitch makes that 16 dollar gun come out to be about a 8 dollar gun ..
lmaooo
This is my husband's account but I'm the one always making the comments. I like the explanation on this video and how easy he made it look using the HF paint gun. I'm not painting a car or anything bit but have my little home projects that I truly believe this paint gun will be very handy. Thx ☺
HF has a much smaller one for detail work and smaller projecks
Perfect timing I’m pretty decent with rattle cans and while I have so much time on my hands right now I’m gonna fix my hood that’s got blisters under the paint. This will help me thank you!
@@t-conny985 not on auto pint was speaking in general as in I can do a project and the paint isn’t running
I used this to paint a Telecaster guitar body and for small projects like mine, it is pretty good. I have even used their mini detail spray gun but the bad thing about those are they are real tricky to clean properly but they have their place among hobbyists. Brian is right. I wouldn't trust it to paint a car but for little jobs, it's pretty decent.
I just sprayed my second job.
First one had tons of orange peel, didn't look super great.
Watched some more Paint Society videos, sprayed another car today using what I learned.
Looks like glass from this gun. Just changed my prep and technique.
Thanks!
10% tools 90% skills
Every time I’ve used this gun you will have more imperfections like texture or runs. Get the black widow HTE
THIS!!! your right
Absolutely true. Just cause it walks like a duck doesn't make it a duck
Not true.
@@joshteel3226 that problem is with you, not the gun. If you have texture and or runs- move faster.
I just love this channel. I do a lot of rattle can spraying on quad frames and fenders and the information shared in your videos have helped me tremendously.
i painted a front fender of my car with a high end DuPont metallic paint and clear coat using one of these guns and got totally professional results on the first try with this gun. That was 16 years and the job still looks beautiful.
Thank you for showing that clear coat can be actually applied in a gloss finish with such cheap gun. Every single time I tried to paint something for my cars, I failed in the clear coat step, the end result had massive orange peel. I have the feeling that it is hard for the gun to atomize the clear, rising the pressure kind of helped a little bit. Never added thinner to the clear, maybe it’s worth trying.
Maybe you're too close to the parts, or you are moving too slow and too much clear is building up to the point that you get orange peel. Always try moving a little faster than usual because you can always come back to respray to compensate if you are getting results like an overspray by moving overly fast. Practice your hand, arm, & body movement with the paint gun for a while without actually painting just so you can build up a sense of how you will be painting; some people freeze-up a little as they are spraying. This will help to give you some confidence. I've just finished painting a fender & a front bumper cover for my Prius, using this same 1.4 paint gun that I had for 2 years when I painted my mustang's fender. When I was first learning how to paint, it was the clear coat that was the nerve -racking part of spraying. Mess up on the clear coat & the whole work has to be redone.
Been running a body shop for 9 years. I use a devilbiss tekna for my clear and a devilbiss gti for my color. I bought this exact gun for 14.99 yesterday at harbor freight. And I’m seriously astonished with the results. This gun is amazing. Only thing that bothered me was the special wrench wasn’t included lol. Lots of grease inside the gun when you buy it. Make sure you clean it really good before first use.
And Harbor Freight dos not carry the wrench that doesn't come with the gun so you can't clean the gun it's a throw away gun.
@@robmcguire9756I'm guessing that's a sense of humor ? See , I don't have one. So it's hard to tell.
Seing the ridiculous things I see any more, I must point out to those with no sense of humor who are the most gullible people on earth, any adjustable wrench will allow you to disassemble your brain. You know.... to clean it.
@@erickaufmancustomguitars1351 I know what size it is 19mm x 2.5mm thick some times I wish I had a wrench 2.5 mm Thick nobody makes a wrench that thin that I know of
@@robmcguire9756 ah, I get it now.
I have little experience making tools, but some. I used a grinding wheel to modify a socket to be thin walled years ago to adjust a Jackson guitar truss rod. I still have it lol. But naturally I have found the appropriate tool from a dude driving a mac tools tool truck. After he realized I wasn't trying to car jack him, he was happy to sell me a nice thin wall, deep well socket that is really nice.
Here's to hoping you get what ya need bro. Cheers...
I've used it before I was amazed of the results
I’m considering painting my car this summer. I think I’ll actually get this one. I usually like to stay far away from Harbor Freight, but I’m actually very impressed! Nice job 👍
They lay paint down nicely...they are cheap but the manufacturer does make improvements over time...I just purchased one again and it's much nicer than the model I have from 2 years ago ...I use a screw on filter at the gun and set Regulator at about 32psi
@@bilbobaggins4710 What was the improvement from the gun from 2 years ago? Thanks
Thank you for this. I will be repainting my '06 Mazda 6 hood Black Ebony and considered using this gun as I don't own any. Even after my dad lent me his excellent gun I considered buying and using this anyway, just to avoid the hassle of trying to return something better than the condition in which it was borrowed. But when you said, "don't use it to clear coat a hood" I said, "welp! That settles it!" Thank you for saving me all the frustration and great video production....Subbed!
Welcome!!!
I'm repairing a pickup I just picked up. Don't need to buy a $500+ gun. It's a one time use thing for me. As long as it lays the paint down decent, I'll be happy. Thanks for the honest review.
Thanks so much your videos and especially this one. I did my first primer job today with my Harbor Freight gun. I watch your videos daily. Thanks for giving me the confidence to do it.
Worked great on my Minneapolis Moline tractor , school bus yellow . And yes it is hard to adjust the flow pushing more air than I want . But 9.99 on sale use and toss .
They work awesome even for the DIYer. Great results with it painting a Chevy Small Block and a Jeep Straight 6. Used thick ceramic engine paint and a homeowner grade little air compressor. Paint went on beautiful.
It doesn't take much to make a motor look good I let my six-year-old spray paint the motor in my truck there's no way you can screw it up it's a motor
@Ram Well thats your opinion of course, but id say thats a complete lie.
@@losandreas6443 you'd be wrong. A Chevy small block is probably a cast block, with tons of pitting and inconsistency in the surface. You can probably paint it with a brush and people wouldn't notice, provided the mix is thin enough.
@@CafeRacer1975 Your opinion is funny as well, because I do this for a living and can tell. Its just whether the persons doing the job is ok with how it comes out ultimately if not done professionally. This is not a case of probability.
What a great outcome! I am restoring an antique tractor implement on my channel right now and using that same paint gun. So far I've only shot primer with it but it's done great so far! I also believe it's a great option when working on a project with a budget in mind.
This is probably a good gun for the hobbyist who is going to paint one car.
I was about to comment that the reason you're getting good results is because you're a professional. But you explained that in your 3.5 rating at the end of the video.
Thank you for the last bit, it's important to explain how someone who's a beginner using a tool made this cheap would have a helluva time getting results like yours.
And could also discourage someone from wanting to learn the craft with their first experience using a 15 dollar tool. Good video overall, very informative, edited and shot nicely, and you're great in front of the camera. I'm gonna subscribe.
Watching this guy spay panels is a complete joy.
Smooth and steady passes.
Great job.
I've never sprayed 2K, so I don't know it's spraying characteristics, but for lacquer, this gun has been incredibly good to me. There are some little tricks I've had to learn, but for a cheap gun I bought on a whim, I've never felt the need to replace it. If I thin lacquer about 10%, this gun lays it down nearly perfectly, and with a few fog coats shortly after my last wet coat, the finish flows out and has almost no orange peel. Especially if I fog coat between every wet coat.
I'm considering using it for my first automotive painting attempt. I'm pretty confident that if I carry over the little tricks I use for lacquer, I'll be able to lay down a damn-near-perfect finish.
To anybody reading this and considering the gun; Buy it and use it. Give yourself some time with it to learn its needs, don't try anything too serious until you know the gun well. But I think if you're patient and give it a chance, you'll be impressed with what you can do with it. I build 2k-3k custom guitars and use this gun on all of them. I get absolutely flawless finishes with it, though I do have to do some minimal wetsanding/buffing. But that's to be expected with any gun, even the top dollar ones. Just takes some experience.
Did you paint at 35psi? Aside from a good regulator, what (gallon) capacity air tank is needed for auto bodies (not individual panels)?
@@bobgreene2892 The gun is finicky and sometimes demands different pressures, but that's mostly down to what lacquer and cut strength I'm using. But yes, usually around 35.
As for what capacity for auto work, I can't say with any authority as I never got around to it. But I would imagine you'd really want a 30 gallon tank. That said, if you're doing individual panels, you can probably get away with a 5/10 gallon compressor if it has a decent motor that can keep up. I spray whole acoustic guitar bodies with a 5 gallon Kobalt compressor and it keeps up fine. Probably the same surface area as most auto body panels. Definitely wouldn't try to paint a whole car in place with that setup though.
All that said, I'm still using the same gun and it's still doing great. Had to replace a couple seals with off the shelf stuff. No big deal. Worth the tiny investment for sure.
Looks good enough for me...i would be more than satisfied if i could duplicate that finish!
Hey this harbor freight spray gun can so from primer to clear, including metallic, candy, and base. I have been using this very gun for 15+ years most recently painted 1992 Ford LTL 9000 Log Truck and 2004 Ford F250. They have primer, 3 different metallic base colors, Rudy Candy Red, and Clear coat. Would love to share some pictures with you Brian. Candy paint and Clear need to have 44psi air to lay either of the 2. As long as the gun is properly cleaned and stored it will last through years of painting.
Awesome! What PSI do you set the paint and sealer or primer? Thanks!
@@PhillipHall01 You set the pressure to the minimum pressure that will fully atomize the paint. The pressure needed depends on the viscosity of the paint/primer/sealer. Always test the spray pattern on some paper or cardboard before applying.
@@lizardking8388 give us an example please
Sad ta say I bought one no wonder why my paint came out crapy and I didn't turn my compressor down to 55 psi so I'm learning how to with guys like you so thank you
I just bought a Harbor Freight gun and was able to paint my 1987 Ford 150 with its original two-tone color combo, including a metallic color and it came out great! First vehicle I’ve painted in 45 years!
The greatest calligraphers do not care what quality of brush they use. - old Japanese saying.
the greatest calligraphy is not painting cars- old me just saying
@@rvlifestylelivin I'm glad you told that clown off, probably never sprayed a car in his life...
@@waynewilliams5802 Ikr like solvents wont chew threw cheap aluminum tips faster than on stainless steel causing eventually wasted material and spattering etc but you go paint a ferrari with an old calligraphy brush an d lets admire that fine detail work LOL
My dad, three uncles and grandpa all did body and paint collectively with about 175 years experience. So I know body and paint a little. At the end of the day, a major portion of the quality comes down to the person and their talent. Followed by materials. Tools, although important do not make the majority of the paint job importance.
I was never good at body. Paint I became ok. But it definitely ended with my dads generation.
Thanks for posting these videos. You were a huge help on making my paint project turned out the way it did. I didn’t know how to set a spray gun until now or how long to wait between coats.
I think a $700 gun in my hands wouldn’t work as well as a $15.00 gun in your hands. I just bought one and will be happy if my results beat rattle cans. Thanks Brian, I really benefit from watching your videos!
I could tell when you sprayed it on the paper that you would be working. I think it's a very important step in painting. Better than spraying it on your panel and trying to adjust.
Thank you for such a great channel to learn from
4:00 am & I’m up watching this . So oddly satisfying 🥺
Same 😭......😂
Same 💀
You can text me...😏
I bought the two HF guns (small and large) back in 2005 to paint my $90,000 airplane.. Came out great. I'm still using those 16 year old guns for repairs and spray jobs today. Of course I only use them a couple of times a year on average but they still work almost as good to day as when they were new.
This just proves aside from materials and prep, what you pay for in a paintjob is the painter's experience.
I used these cheap spray guns for several paint jobs the biggest difference is in the painter who adjusts for temperature - humidity-paint quality ect. This bumper looks fine!
Dude the gun may be 3.5 star rating ,but the way how you explained it deserves not 5 stars''I give you 10 stars my friend,,, simple,comprehendible,honest keep it up young man...
Thanks !!
I've used that gun before numerous times and got great finishes
It looks great to me, and for that price it looks excellent ! Sometimes i wonder why those paintshops ask 450 dollar for spraying a fender, let me do it with this one and i will be happy !
Used one of those very same guns on a dark green metallic Chevy Blazer, the job was a door bottom fender bottom and rear quarter bottom, the job came out just great for a shade tree body guy. Bad Chad uses cheap spay guns, says he uses them 3 or 4 tmes the chucks them and gets new ones. Liked the video you were honest and showed that the cheap guns can do the job. 35lbs at the gun,I will have to remember that along with all valves full open .
I use these guns for primer/sealer, and spraying stuff like por-15. I was honestly surprised how well they work 😆
Another great video. To be honest I must say I have some critique though because the test he put the gun through was at a higher standard than he would have put the same high end gun through, since he has multiple guns to tackle different phases of the process from the primer, pant, and clear coat phases. Now we're talking 3 guns ($1800+).
6:59 What he just said is that up to that point of the project the $16 gun did the same as $700 gun.
7:09 What you're really paying for is 'ease of use'.
9:00 He had to work really really really hard.
In plain English that means if you're actually too lazy to bust ass lifting that heavy 2.5 lb. gun and having to actually 'work', you have no business working on cars anyways. Keep your office job. It also means you saved around $650 that you can spend for paint.
Having said all that, I agree the higher end guns are built to last, but for $16 you could buy 40+ guns for the price of one $600-$800 gun. And if that high end gun bites the dust unless it has warrantee you're screwed. For anyone less than a full-time pro you'd be just silly to buy the high-end model.
10:17 Don't overthink it. Just buy the cheap gun, paint your car with it and throw it in the trash.
I used that gun for hibuild primers for 10 years. I wouldn’t recommend doing it to a new guy because a good paint job starts with the prep work and that gun makes your prep and sand work twice as hard. Use the best tool for the job, not just the right tool for the job. Great video sir.
I know you had to work for that finish! It definitely looks good and that’s what matters. Great upload!
Bode, Honest question. If we set it up fan wide open, fluid wide open, at 35 psi. like he said on the beginning comments, where is the extra work in set up? Thanks
I painted my Ranger in the drive way and it turned out amazing its a good gun.
Why was I just talking about getting a new paint gun and then I go on RUclips and see this vid, my phone listen to me😂
How creepy!!
Cole Collins
It knows all your secrets. It must die lol.....
I just blended silver metallic and then clear with a 10$ gun. Absolutely no one except the ones that are doing this as a profession could tell it was made by me . And it was the first time using paint guns and compressors. After watching hundred of vids on RUclips.
But coming from spray cans and 1k clear junk this type of working and with this type of tools is piece of cake
Thank you for that sincere presentation.
The Majority of people I know who paint cars and trucks start small and work hard to the next levels as time moves on. It's the same with the tools of the trade or profession.
Why spend money, when one can achieve success getting the same effect using a lesser grade tool. It's experience first, then the tool. The tool, then, is as good as the person using it. That is true with any trade or profession.
Your video was terrific and extremely educational. Thank you!🧐👍
it's all in the painter I say :) I have used tons of cheap guns from HF guns to lowes Husky guns to some more prof guns like the tekna .. started with a binks 7 back in the early 90's still have a couple of them lol... great guns .
Binks! You have been in the game for a while!
yea, love to make something look like new or better then new makes you feel good ... stay safe keep the great videos coming
I still have 2 Binks m1g's. I used to love that gun.
I think spending the paint gun for $15 or even less is amazing for smaller projects! I think you're 3.5 rating is fair for other Professionals who use the gun every day but it's a 5 for weekend DIYers!
I painted a complete car with this gun I didn't even have to color sand it that's how nice it layed out for a 15 dollar gun
This guy is just a gun snob .
Me too.
I don't think he wanted to admit it was pretty dope for being so cheap.
@@jodilynn4853 lol
Retired painter : I've just started watching paint videos and I'm actually impressed. You didn't bash the HF spray gun . The paint job does depend on the painter not the gun. They're not a Sata or Iwata but they get the job done. I'll leave the bashing to the snobs and wannabes. Thanks.
Just bought this gun for priming, used it to edge a door and man did it lay down clear nice. Its definitely not high quality but gets the job done.
Harbor Freight is a poor mans paradise. Got. Quite to paint my faded hood and roof on a small single cab truck for $3,000. My response: “she ain’t winning any beauty contests and she’s only worth $1,500. Will have to try out the $16 gun.
That wrist action is fluid bro. Straight fluid... Noice
I've seen lowrider guys use this gun with impressive results, I guess it it the painter after all 😄 good video
I did too bro doing designs and patterns especially in Cali by the og's
I've seen guys do amazing paint jobs and even art with rattle cans, especially those Benjamin Moore cans that had the nice fine mist fanned out nozzles on them. Skill is the big factor to my way of thinking.
I used that Gun..too it does a pretty good job....I mean I used to.paint doors and windows....for the Job .I guess is Good..
@@mannykastro How do you paint a window
@@moxine_ I used to paint House windows.....b 4 intalled the glass....the guy who hire me he does window's and commercial doors big one sometimes...and I'll just paint them thats all you tought door's from car's come on.🤣
I use these for primer and utility coats like trailers/farm equipment etc where I am just doing protection finishes. I even painted my brother's old truck with it using tractor paint, works good for that stuff.
Been painting for over 50 years and what he says is so true !!!! It's the user !!!!
Glad you mentioned you used 35 psi. Good review!
One thing they don't mention is you better have a condensate collector somewhere down the line if not you're going to get water in the paint
Where do you get ones of them thangs at bone? And is they expensive?
I love painting/body work it’s been in the family so long I remember helping my grandpa every single morning on summer days lol. About to get into it and take it serious 🤘👍
Brian, you won a large group of subscribers by simply addressing our interest in beginning to paint.
Since not many beginners can justify immediate purchase of an expensive, "professional" paint gun, there is a large market for training-class paint guns.
Basically, this training market segment serves those who want only to satisfy their curiosity and their own developing interest. This same entry-level market also serves those who know basic techniques, but are satisfied with "good enough" results.
You need not worry about leaving the wrong impression about better-quality paint guns. Since quality sells itself, we eventually will understand the need to invest in a gun costing hundreds of dollars more.
* 1. Beyond purchase of a paint gun, the next item which many of us need is a basic, reliable air compressor. We were delighted to find your video, ""The Cheapest Way to Paint a Car with Amazing Results".
* 2. You spray with a preference for a two-part system, which requires a mask. However, many of us have heard about the use of "water-based" automotive paint by the automotive manufacturers. Have you covered that topic, yet?
Dont you love it when a RUclipsr makes a video about ” how it’s going to come out “ let’s seek the results etc and in the title it already had the answer but .. you keep watching and realize the video was so damn good it didn’t matter if you already knew the answer ?!
we have to protect this dude at all cost! damn his telling the Truth Apir!
Bro, what? 3.5? That looks good asf.
Yes, because HE was the painter using it. In lesser hands, the paint job would probably not fare as well. He didn't bash the gun, he just said there are better choices for DIY'ers.
First,from the UK great timing.in this crazy time we're having.👌🏻
Awesome!!
I used that gun for everything but primer and touch ups for years! Seemed like though back in the day when I started spraying the fancy guns were kind of unnecessary when I apprenticed we were taught it didn't matter if we had to spread paint with a mop because the quality was all in prep and polish everything wet sanded smooth with a thick clear coat and it looked good and everyone was happy. I still believe that sure if you are a professional you ought to take advantage of anything that gives a better end product or makes the process more consistent or efficient and you owe it to your customers to do what you can. But...that being said if all I have at the shop is rattle cans and my customer wants to trade instead of pay, know that that car isn't going to leave the booth until I feel confident that it will look good, perform well and speak well to my brand. Painting or any art for that matter has to be more about maximizing hard work and talent before anything because if you can do it like that you are going to be a straight rockstar when you catch up to the tech and the whole industry will get better. That's what it's all about I think. You do awesome videos man. Much love and much respect🍻 edit: my business partner just reminded me we had a different gun for clear as well so I guess I didn't use it for clear coat.
I'm painting my Nova with one now .I went through three of them before I found one that works absolutely perfect.
I didnt use a regulator and got a perfect paint job💯
Glad you put those gloves on and then touched your face at 2:44. Makes it all worth it. 😂
What no regulator included!😱😭. I can spray with a home improvement gun, but will spend a lot of time buffing. With my SATA, i can almost spray blind folded , and get an awesome finish...ask me how i know. Great video !
Like your paint booth and your sweeping back and forth was mesmerizing. Your summary reminded me of driving to work and seeing a couple riding $5,200 carbon fiber bicycles. Never saw them again. I like to get into some activity as cheaply as possible. Can’t ever tell if I’m going to enjoy something.
I have the same gun. Keep it clean and don't expect it to work or feel like a $500 gun. A good painter can get better results from a cheap gun than a bad painter can get from an expensive one. It's a tool. Cheap tools work if you know how to use them. Some better than others. You don't need to spend hundreds for a gun to paint your car in your garage. Just like you don't need to buy snap on tools to do an oil change. If you know what you're doing, you can work with what you have.
Daniel Lawson that’s what’s I’m talking about. Like your attitude
laughed at the putting on gloves after seeing China on the box 😂
I've heard they are pretty good for a one time use.
Like pretty much anything else. If you take good care and clean it properly after use. Be sure that it can outlive yourself! BTW I'm not kidding!
Hear say and gossip, in general, are very bad advisers. ;-)
When I first started painting semi trucks, didn't have any money to buy a good spray gun until my 4th week. I used This spray gun to paint commercial heavy duty trucks and delivered good results. Its all about the Painter, but it make the job easier to use an expensive spray gun.
I bought the purple for high build primers. First, you need to really clean it out of the box. They use some thick assembly lubricant that gets gummy. I also drilled out the tip to 2mm and then manually 'seated' the tip. Hopefully this will allow more flow for thicker primers. Great video. thanks.
I did that, it sprayed feather fill easily
to me skills the most important and powerful instead of expensive and branded tools.
What psi were did you find yourself using most?
35
So just a few PSI higher to help with atomizing?
1:16 Everyone’s dad when they buy something that requires assembly
Just used this gun and your tutorials to diy paint my door and fender. Turned out pretty good. Thanks
Old video I know, but seems like you went into it expecting garbage and got decent! Awesome video. :D
I helped an older gentleman and I bought this gun and redid his entire trailer and it was finominal
Unlike your spelling LOL
NOTHING NOTHING *phenomenal
Y'all really just like to pick shit out of people sorry I fucking misspelled
Don’t over think it, it’s just a misspelled word.
That's encouraging. I'd still spring for the $60 gun though!
Requires a big compressor as that gun uses 10cfm vs. 6 ... Most people don't have access to a large enough air supply
If I had your skills, all I would buy would be 16 dollar harbor freight spray guns!
Yeah but you gotta remember he doesnt want to work hard but he still wants to charge hard worker prices 🤣🤣😂😂😂
You got me to subscribe with that 3.5 rating. Meaning, knowing that you are considering a newbie, and putting yourself in our shoes is huge. Show great intelligence!
I just used the 25 dollar green harbor freight gun it turned out awesome. I will say the trigger is a bit clunky they don't fan down very well and make lots of overspray . Keep in mind spraying in a booth is optimal conditions.
