Mr Handyman...your a GD Genius. I'm a 50 something lady. I searched high and low how to use this SAME sprayer (but for furniture) and coundn't find anything useful. You did a FANTASTIC job step by step putting together and re putting back after cleaning. I would HAVE NEVER been able to do my project without your video. And I do not give many shout outs -- you definetly deserve one!! Bless you (Charleston, SC) - Goose
Orifice dim....5/64. - 2mm. I've painted several hundred sq. feet of house with no tooling to the gun. Yes, I had to thin the Kiltz primer. So it will actually work as is. Also painted doors wich are fun and not a headache with a gun. Now, with the 2mm orfice, I'm able to use thicker paint, less water, a big plus!! I lowered the PSI as much as I could along with the fan adjustment to 4-6in. pattern... less overspray and a thicker layer. It takes more swipes but nice and thick. When I drilled out the gun I used a new bit and my mini laith. One other thing you can do is refinish the needle if rough. 6-800 dimond stone. Mounted to drill And or polish it. I do this with my small fine air brush. Its also worth getting a small regulator to attach just aft. the gun H.Freight has them. Best tool at that store vs the money. No kidding!!!!
This sounds crazy but it comes from another RUclips video, to think your paint use the blue windshield wiper fluid. I use it every time with this hplv gun and the results are amazing.
Good video. I have the same hf spray guns along others that I have using for twenty years. Number 1,rule keep them clean. If the gun is going to be be stored for more than a day after I clean it put a few dropa of air tool oil in pickup and run air thru it when you use it again run mineral spirts or a degreaser thru it to clean the oil and any dirt. More videos like this.
good idea - when im done with mine ill do the same - my other one i run lacquer thinner thru it and then store it - the needle i use a bit of compressor oil on it so it does not rust - then when i use it again i run lacquer thinner thru it to start.
I use the HF purple gun for automotive primer, if it breaks I just go buy another. I have painted a motorcycle or three with it years ago, works ok for what it is.
Im doing my research for good spraygun that requires a compressor I refinish furniture.this video helped alot what air compressor do you recommend for this purple sprayer i have no clue about them.😅 i tried the regular guns with different brands but had no luck they keep blocking paint.thanks
I am not sure what to tell you as a minimum but I would get a decent sized compressor - You could do fine with a 30 gallon or more type of compressor - I suggest a 2 stage one where the motor and compressor on top of the unit - If you have a problem it is easier to replace one or the other - You want something that will not have to cycle on and off every few seconds so a larger unit will be a benefit here because the spray gun does use a lot of air if you are spraying furniture.

Let us know how it turns out and how much work it was..... and if you think they bids two high... $3000 to paint all that? Give me a break.
i was cleaning mine yesterday and a small O ring fell out! Where did it come from? Thanks
Take a look at the instructions that came with it for a picture showing all the parts that make up the gun or google search the HF HVLP gun diagram
Why didn't you putty over the metal straps?
I am going to replace them with a decorative type thick metal L bracket but i could have your right
could not find replacement tips for that gun😏😏
If you want a job done right...seems you have to do it yourself nowadays 👍🍻
Doing it myself not only saved me money but i did not skimp on paint to make more profit and by taking my time it did and does turn out much better
👍🏻👏👏👏✊
Just make your Son paint your house, he has nothing else to do, I just see him online playing video games
Wrong son then as mine is in college and works.............
