I agree with Pete, it’s always great to hear both what may be thought as “the most basic” pieces of knowledge and “gun settings” being used since it helps the viewer reduce the seemingly endless number of variables needed to create a great paint job.
People do keep telling me that, for example, someone messaged me on Instagram a week or so back and asked does the regulator have to be the same make as the gun, that's a good question to ask if you don't know the answer, cheers 👍
Hi Ray, I don't know about magic mate, but I do enjoy it, I think that feeds back into giving confidence. I think confidence is quite important when painting as it makes you smooth, which makes the work better, I've probably completely over thought that answer Ray 😂, hopefully you'll understand what I mean. Cheers, mate, and thank you 👍
I absolutely love my ANI R160Q it’s a great little gun, I had mine for 2 years now 😮 and I can say I haven’t had a single problem with it yet, and I’ve used it a fair bit as well, I take mine to bits as I do with all of my guns to clean them out after use as well. I love the finish on mine it’s silver with like a light rainbow effect, similar to a little bit of oil in water, it really is a fantastic well built gun that is finished nicely. I know this is my first spray paint gun so I am a little biased maybe, but even my cheap ANI F1NS is a cracking little primer gun as is the F160 and the GF3 has there place as well! Sorry that’s enough waffle about the guns, I really like this candy colour you done and the finish on the clear is really nice and flat as well from what I can see. I wouldn’t mind having a go at waterborne paint. Hopefully I will get a couple of spraying videos up I really need to finish the rest of my alloy wheels but stuff just keeps getting in the way and people asking me to help with there stuff 😢 cheers mate hope all is well.
Hi Roger, it's a lovely colour, isn't it, I've always had a bit of a soft spot for Kawasaki green anyway but the candy versions really are nice, cheers mate, hope alls well with you 👍
Hi Pete, the tank came out looking beautiful with a very nice gloss and that colour looks amazing, I couldn't quite see the green in the final shots as to me it still looked gold but I think that is more down to my colour issues than anything else🤔 The waterborne basecoat went on nice and smooth Pete I still haven't tried my waterborne paint again I keep meaning to but I either forget or chicken out🙄🤭 I don't think with this hobby there is anything to basic that you mention on here mate as there is always a beginner that will come across your videos and will be very grateful that what they watched helped them out👏👌 Hope to post a video up soon of me using the NVE gun, that quite an interesting experience which made me feel like a beginner all over again🤠😂👍
Hi John, Yes, It came out lovely, probably more down to your vision of colours, mate, as it's definitely a green. Yeah, I still only have. I think 4 different waterbourn paints of which the gold in this is one of them. They do spray differently for sure, but once you know what to do, aren't particularly challenging, so I think you'll be fine if you try again. That's exciting, I've seen the message at the top of my phone, so I will head over to Instagram now. Cheers John 👍
Nice color, job well done. I don’t use water base paints as I spray boats. However it was interesting to me that you could switch back and forth from solvent to water, and back. I would have thought once you put down the water born you would have to stick with it. Good information, thank you
Hi Bryan, Thanks, mate 👍, yes, once the waterbourn basecoat is dry, it is effectively like solvent paint as only the pigments are left. I think there are one or two waterbourn clear for automotive, but they aren't particularly good, so I'm told, I doubt they would hold up in the marine world where, as you know, conditions are harsh, cheers Bryan 👍
Hi buddy, Yes, that's certainly what I've found. Obviously, you need to look after them, but that's true no matter what make or gun they are. Cheers, mate 👍
Hi Massimo, it depends on the gun and ambient temperature. If it's warm weather and the gun has a good flow, I just heat the clear coat up and use it like that, but I have thinned it by 5 to 10%, and it works well
hello wonderful job I have the same rifle but as I do not understand much English what adjustments do you make on the wheel which is on the left side of the rifle for the Clear. Thank you and have a good day
Hi , thank you for the great videos,I have a Fast Mover Tools UK LVLP gun with a 1.3 aircap, have u ever use it? Is it possible to purchase a 1.8 or 2.0 cap and needle for it separately ?? Any ideas , thank you very much again ☺️
Hi mate, no, I've never used one. Normally, if you want a new tip, needle, and cap, it's cheaper to buy another gun, so you probably could get the bits but not worth it
Pete I wonder would you say a mini spray gun is better for spraying a tank, than something full size? I have a Sata Minijet and and an old Devilbiss GTi. Only used it once but the GTi seemed to work very well.
Hi buddy, if you had asked me that 6 years ago I would have said yes, a mini gun is better for bike stuff, that's mainly because bike stuff is what I do and I used to mainly use mini guns. These days, having all the equipment that I have, I would say not, a full-size gun makes the job quicker and generally easier, especially for clear coat application. I do push bike stuff sometimes, and that's certainly mini gun territory.
I used to do tanks in sections with the minis, particularly the low output minis like the LPH80. When I started trying the full-size guns, normally a Gti Pro I found you could sweep across the whole tank at once as there's more material coming out and a bigger fan which made it easier, if you were sweeping like that with the small output minis you had to go really slow which wasn't very rewarding, hence doing it in sections, made it more bearable. Certainly give it a try, I'd be interested to hear what you think. Cheers 👍
@@peteshobbies5383 I was able to paint tanks using the HVLP Minijet, but wasnt brilliant at all, and as you say more material going on, makes it much easier.
Hi buddy, where is your filtration? , how many do you have? , I use one of these now, and it removes all the water. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SnQGMrmJTDE.html
Hi Pete, a little off topic, but have you used kapsi high build primer and if so what are you thoughts about the quality? It seems cheaper than what I've been using and wondered if the quality is lacking. Thank you
Hi David, no, I haven't, I've used their clears , solvent and waterbourn bases, their binders and thinners, but not their primers, to be fair, everything of there's has been really good and exceptional value so I would be surprised if there primer was lacking
I have to question where these are made as some look and have that Asian feel while others may actually be made in Italy. They also are keepin up with the Jonses as they have semi premium, premium and pro premium guns. 30 years ago no one had these that I know of in America yet they act like they've been in business since gravy was put on biscuits. Ridiculous!
Hi buddy, ANI started making spray guns in 1962 in Italy, so over 60 years. These are made in the factory in Italy. I presume, but I don't know, that some parts will be sourced from Asia as other European manufacturers will do, but I have no inside knowledge either way. As far as the range goes, lots of manufacturers have a starter, mid, and high range, so I don't think it's that unusual. I'm not a spokesman for ANI and normally buy all my tools. This was sent to me as a warranty replacement, so technically, I didn't buy it, but I did buy the one it replaced, so I can say what I think, so hopefully, give unbiased reviews
