Had never painted a vehicle with a gun and compressor until last week. I watched multiple videos including your other ones on the HF gun. Bought one, borrowed my buddies 20 gallon compressor. I sanded my Jeep down, primed/sealed, base and cleared with this gun and my Jeep looks fantastic. For a weekend warrior not looking for a show finish, you cant argue with this gun.

I went to the junk yard got an old fender to practice on. Local automotive paint supplier I told them I wanted something to practice with they went in the back gave me a gallon of basecoat for free someone ordered never picked up. They gave me a discount on some cheap clear coat. I used a cheap gun off amazon fixed some clearcoat peeling and spot repairs. I painted a buddies car came out okay some orange peel we had a few runs it was way better than before with rust spots, and clear missing. Neighbor got upset about the smell threaten to call the city so I decided to give up home painting I put together entire package including the car fender sold it all for $100 to a guy on CL. I broke even on everything I bought. Maybe someday can afford to move where I can have a spray booth kind of sucked spraying in a garage and outside on the side of the yard dust and bugs. Friend passed left me an old honda pilot got some clear missing thinking of fixing it maybe just use rattle cans.

@chrise202 8 месяцев назад

You probably succeeded because you had the most important tool called "A Space". Space with no humidity, wind, low temperatures, condensation, etc. I tried doing a spot repair for a silver metallic color. Failed 4 times. Fading in just a patch of silver-metallic color outside on 9 degree temp, with 70%+ humidity is impossible job. Asked one of my neighbours if I could use his garage, I did but then for the clearcoat it turned all white because of humidity again. No paint/skill/gun etc is going to help as much as a clean, closed, dry and warm SPACE. UK is not suitable for any outdoor activity.

My brother in law is a professional painter and we build boats and he got tired of constantly cleaning's expensive guns and decided to give these harbor freight ones a try and the cheapest one (the on in this vid) can be hit or miss because the quality of the O-rings vary so you might get 3 of them that spray well like this one and then you'll get one that doesn't and causes headaches with the occasional spitting which causes drips, but the next model up has always worked consistently. He buys them and uses them a few times and trashes them and buys new ones to replace them. He sprays high quality solvent paints, 2-part epoxy paints, and gel coat through them and they work well. Not as good as with his high-end guns but for $30 it comes damn close and it's good enough for him. Great vid and awesome consistency with your lines. LOVE seeing how the overlap builds the high gloss as you go.

Had an 88 chev beretta I painted with a 1/8 nap woven roller and put the clear on with a foam roller one weekend. Nxt weekend I sanded with 800/1500/3000 and then polished with a foam pad thing you attach to a drill. was a 2 tone dark/light blue to a midnight navy. Next time i went into work the guys thought i had it in a shop to get it painted. First car i painted and thats when i fell in love with painting. Now i do houses for a living ( $10-12k every work week to 7 days)and cars as a side gig.

I'm no pro and I use this gun at home for small jobs like headlight restoration for friends and family and the last part you said is so true, these guns need to move really slow to let it lay down the clear. Again I'm no pro and if I do get orange peel on the headlights I just cut and buff.

The newer green harbor freight gun is a lot better than the purple gun. Still had to buff out the orange peel but it wasn't as bad as the purple gun in my novice hands and its only like a $10 difference. The Black Widows are a lot better obviously , but they run around $200 and require a lot larger compressor. I've used a lot of these cheap guns before with varying success, I wish I could make videos but its so time consuming, I really appreciate people like you who take the effort to make these videos, filming adds more time to everything and so does editing. Some of us really do appreciate all that effort. As always great content.

Brian, I will say I am glad you put this video together and you showed the truth. Those areas of dry spray I noticed would show up even in the clear unless I slowed down. I also noticed the gun was not consistent enough along large areas. After purchasing a better gun I realized most of my issues were gun related and I had a better appreciation for a better spray gun. You don't have to spend a chunk on a spray gun that will deliver, but spraying with cheap guns will cost you more in the long run.

@Droopy578 Год назад

Definitely a decent gun for small jobs. Good for you to show the trick to make that clear lay smooth. I’m a hobbyist. Thinking about painting my CRV, identical to the one you painted in the inflatable booth at your friend’s house. I’m on a budget, looking for the right gun. I haven’t painted in a while but have a few junk Tesla Model 3 hoods I can test before spraying my V.

@danssv8 10 месяцев назад

Hi Brian . I love all your videos , you a great mentor and inspiration on how you set up your spragun , mixing paint with reducer , air pressure regulation technique , travel speed and distance away from the parts you spray painting. I always used cheap guns and it's all about flow off paint and mixing and air pressure , the speed when painting. Preparation of surface is very very important and key to minimising dust and overspray to get excellent results every time. So my theory is nothing Wong with a cheap Chinese gun , it's the operator that must know how to set up and use tha tools and his ingredients. Great video as always.

@user-yb2tp4qf1r 7 месяцев назад

yeah, you got much better results out of it than most of us do. I find it a constant fight of orange peel versus runs. I finally ditched mine and stepped up to a little more expensive set off of Amazon. I'm just a DIY and I've only painted a couple panels and 1 whole car so I have a long way to go learning, but definitely the Amazon sprayers are better than the Harbor Freight. Thankfully I got my HF one with a coupon for $9.99

Great video - thanks for uploading. Great prep tips there, and especially with how to set up the gun in the first place (i.e. dialling out the fluid valve first, then dialling back in to meet trigger resistance). Good to see very comprehensive narrative feedback throughout the video, especially to help the amateur/novice starting out - watching the paint/lacquer go on is also quite 'therapeutical', too! Beautiful stuff, but (as you correctly said) the final 'finish' is 'all in the prep'. Respect from the UK.👍😎

I bought that one about two or so years ago. I haven't used it yet, changed my mind about applying some clear for a piece of furniture. But I'll use it eventually, in hopes of repainting our car. But it would be used for things like door jams and maybe bumpers or small things. I got another gun (far more expensive) for the body. Hopefully next spring 2023 or early summer.

@DutchDeLorean Год назад

I knew I'd paint one day so I bought this gun from a paint store years ago. I've painted several projects over the last year but cleared for the first time last week. It took me five hours to clear my car and I still ended up with two thin spots that I didn't notice. I did start to feel the weight but I've never used anything else. I am disappointed that I spent roughly $90 for a $15 gun years ago haha.

@clips65 Год назад

I sprayed with that gun for years in a high end BMW shop in the bay area with great results. Sometimes you would get one that no matter what you did was just junk but 7 outa 10 worked well. They always come full of manufacturing oil so make sure you clean the crap out of them first!

@bobbyhorton4034 Год назад

I used to do budget paint jobs for people on my town because that was the best way to get people to use me when I had not built up a reputation. I found that these cheap guns would work great or work best when they were new. I usually sprayed single stage enamel. I thought that since they were cheap that if I could get a few paint jobs out of them that as soon as they started giving me issues if break open a brand new one and start the process all over again. I definitely got my money's worth

@jessemas27 Год назад

I had similar results after letting a friend borrow and ruin my LPH 400. I bought a three pack of the cheap guns. The base actually sprayed quite well once I got it adjusted, but the clear took a lot of work to make level and almost double the materials of a normal job. It was just a hood, or I wouldn't have even tried, but the cost of the extra materials made the job a loss as far as money went.

@rob12449 6 месяцев назад

Well done, some of your comments are spot on, about the quality of the paint mattering and then about slowing down with the clear for that gun. Most amazing is the result!

My first spray gun was about 9$ at Lidl in Europe. The main problem was the uneven pattern and even at higher pressure than recommend clear had some orange peel. And they all came just in 1.5. Base coat was good but the clear needed some polishing. I still have few of these for primer.

I have the exact same one by a company called "Vaper" and I use it for primer at work at it can spray like glass but you have to spray at 55 psi to get it to do that. For High Build Primers I use their 1.8 and it's the same thing fluid all the way open and psi 55-60 on the regulator that comes with it and the regulators that come with it don't seem to be a true reading because 55psi on this regulator thru the gun sounds the same as 30 psi on another gun with a devilbiss regulator for example. I haven't tried it for base or clear but I have been very tempted to try it but like you said it has to be at a higher pressure to atomize and get the product on the panel but also uses more.

your experience really shined just like that paint job did. i would love to see you test out the spectrum professional gun, at 150ish i think its a decent gun and would be curious to see what you think about it. i still think the kiwami4 is a better deal but to be able to walk into hf and get a replacement or buy one its a good gun for the price.

i tried the ones from Princess Auto, while they work decent initially after buying it and using it alil bit. They tend to break down super quick. The seals inside the gun degrade and the gun starts to leak. Some of the guns the fluid nozzles cant be removed where paint commonly gets stuck and then renders them useless over time.

Also your spraying alot closer than usual, especially clear coat, but hey what more do you want from $15? On the other end of the spectrum your DV1 or Sagola 4600 lays on so good your struggling to keep up!! Would you do another Astro review?

I have this paint gun I was wondering what air pressure gauge you would recommend and the paint cup? I’m really new to this would help a lot thanks!

I really appreciate your channel. Question: If I needed to only paint a car hood, would you recommend a spray gun, or go the rattle can route?

Biggest issue i've had with these purple guns is the needle sealing tight when letting go of the trigger Minor leakage that'll blob right out onto the panel when next pulled

I’m a keen Paint society fan and just a home hobbyist, plus the odd dent repair/paint job for my grown-up family members and some fancy paint jobs on my son’s old motorbikes. However, the only thing that puts me off having a spray gun and compressor in my garage isn’t the cost of the equipment, it’s the unbelievably expensive price of ordering a small amount of paint mix, particularly if you are just repairing one small area. I’m in the U.K. and a good quality rattle can of the colour you need is only £6 ($8 dollars) if you see what I mean?

Thanks for the show. So does HF sell a better gun than the $15 gun and would it be better to have the better tool?

@thepessolanoinquirer6856 Месяц назад

Looks a hell of a allot better then any spray can does.

Thank you for the info. Love your videos.i have the same gun and gonna try it out. I'm telling myself just imitate Brian. (Easier said than done) And I won't over think it. Seriously! And Thanks once again

You just can't leave that gun alone!🤣🤣🤣 All jokes aside, I would love for you to do a video on those electric airless sprayers like a Wagner house sprayer. Some are even battery operated which makes real easy to move around the car.

I do mobile jobs just bumpers and small stuff, I wish I could try at least once painting on a painting booth, my biggest challenge working outside is getting dust and dirt between coats. Clear coat I have to do it nice in one coat because I don't have a second chance to come for a second coat because of dust and dirt getting Trapped between coats so very challenge my job to have results close to a bodyshop.

I have one of these and an Eastwood Concours LT100 that I purchased for painting a truck. My compressor is a 33 gallon Husky oiled v-twin pump that does just over 6CFM @40. Any tricks or tips?

Hi paint society, I was wondering, between the clear and the base, do you swap guns, or only swap the lid? I plan on doing a full body paint job on my S2000 and would like to know. Thanks and cheers.
