I looked for good pressure pots and spray guns on amazon. I wasn't satisfied with the description info that described their system. Further research showed tips and nozzles were not changeable, and they had no recommendation of what nozzle would work with what paint. So I kept looking. I needed good accurate info and found your channel. Now 15 videos later, I'm pulling the trigger on a trophy series gun, LVMP Tans Tech. Your videos got $750 out of me and Pittsurgh Spray Equipment is getting the sale. Good job. Thanks for meaningful information and not just sales pitches that couldn't sway me. But your facts and evidence got my money.
@@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo I do have questions about the purchase I am making I would like answered before I hand over my credit card info. What's the tech support ph #? And what a great fast response to my comment. You continue to impress me. Are you the guy in this video?
@@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo And your name is? I would love to get you on the phone for interrogating. LOL Hey, it's your face and videos that gave me the info and motivation to spend my money with you. So it might as well be your voice again as I spend my money. I'm glad you told me your not just some hired hand, but that your vested in PSE. I hate talking to corporate peons that answer the phone and don't know shit. So frustrating when you can't get real and truthful tech support. I look forward to doing business with you.
Do you know what tip would be good for refinishing bathtubs. What you use looks like it would be great. What air compressor set up would work best for spraying tub surrounds and bathtubs? We usually use a turbine but want to convert over to the pressure pot for multiple unit commercail jobs . Thank you
White attire is better to spot stain so it could be cleaned. I am holding S7 2010 magazine cover. Port. 672 or 572? I cannot read a too small print. Beautiful scenery. Scenery = pe|-(m)an-da-ng|an Look = te-ngok See = pan-dang
I need your help. I've bought a similar set up. I need to get a walk through from A-Z. When to turn on the compressor, what valves to turn first. Please help.
Hi here is written instructions and video together that may be helpful pittsburghsprayequip.com/blogs/pittsburgh-spray-equipment-company/how-to-use-a-paint-pressure-pot-outfit-video-tutorial
What is air gauge at the well set at? Can't I just use only ONE dial on the pot for fluid control, and then adjust my atomizing air at the wall, if I happen to be standing right next to it?
how far do you open the product knob on the gun before setting pressure at the pot to get the right arc? also, is there a pre pot air regulator, or do I just use standard compressor psi of 120? nice video with good info. thanks!
Hi Tim you should leave the knob on the gun completely open when adjusting the fluid arc. After getting the right arc the knob on the gun can be used for fine tuning the amount of material or for on the fly adjustments for certain product areas ect. It is ideal to have a regulator before the pot this is usually done by a wall mounted air regulator and air filtration unit that cleans oil and water from the compressed air if you had to you could connect to a compressor without a pre regulator just might not be as good of results. Let us know if this helps!
Hi on the spray gun we keep changes to a minimum most changes are controlled at the pressure pot. In this case we used the air pattern wide open and a 1.4 fluid nozzle. If your fluid pressure is above 20 - 35 psi you can consider a larger tip on the spray gun, pattern adjustment and needle adjustment should be for fine tuning and getting in small spots.
Or this is the same but with hose and gun pittsburghsprayequip.com/products/binks-98-3156-trophy-spray-gun-and-2-8-gallon-pressure-tank-with-dual-regulation?variant=14160952885283
Looking to do some wood finishing, interior and exterior painting. Would I save money without compromising quality by purchasing a compressor, pressure pot, a conventional gun & HVLP gun instead of purchasing an airless paint sprayer unit and a fuji hvlp unit?
Hi for versatility I would start with a airless with fine finish tip like the Grsco gx 19 or Tritech t5 fine finish setup if the fine finish tip is not enough control or quality than a turbine would be a decent add on tool for exteriors a pressure pot wouldn't make sense usually
@@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo Should have specified price range. Was considering something MiniMite3 amzn.to/3mjZ4FS which would give me the stages to put out thicker latex paint (if needed) to do HVLP or LVMP (as you suggest in your videos for woodworking finish) & Graco Magnum 262805 X7 for interior/exterior paint jobs but that puts me around $1000. On the other hand I couldn't I get a 1. Decent pan-cake compressor goes for $150 2. Paint Pot of 2.5 gallon go for
Most customers who want to do interior and exterior but aren't seasoned painters find an airless with a fine finish low pressure tip to deliver finish that is good for cabinets than use a rac x tip for general painting the gx 19 runs 849 or around 825 after a coupon and gives versatility and portability hvlp is possible to get more results but for latex like paints a mini mite 4 would be minimum I would recommend turbines also create heat which can be hard to deal with if spraying more than 20 or 25 minutes at a time
@@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo I have discovered a few people are using the pots for Latex (USA) and Acrylics (UK) on woodworking forums for furniture - I am seeking advice on the thicker paints, I know many recommend the Airless, but I already have a 40gal compressor (recently purchased) and HVLP guns, from 1.4mm to 2.0mm nozzles that I use with laquers, wanting to switch to furniture and kitchen makeovers, so would a pressure pot be advisable? I have learned thinning with distilled water 10% and Floetrol 10-15% can help with thicker paints being sprayed with a pressure pot system.
You're off to a good start with these videos. I would spend more time on a rehearsed script and more solid, higher quality camera work however. Also why not just a short ≥1 second blast with an air blower to send excess paint back into the pot? It's what I've always done, if done right there isn't much if any mess. As well you should mention you can push small amounts(300-900ml amounts) through a pressure fed system by placing a small cup of fluids in the pot and dipping the intake tube into the cup.
@@davidwang5354 for sure, I had assumed that was a given. Without removal of the aircap it usually causes the paint in the gun to reverse pressurize and fire back out a bit making the fluid tip dirty.
@@JimBloggins1 I presume you can only use smaller cup in stationary pressure pots? How would you secure smaller cup in 2qt pot which gets moved around? Is there need to fix the cup inside?
Hi Adbullah the spray breakup will depend on the paint thickness, fluid tip, and air cap you use. What material are you spraying and what product we can take a look and provide a suggestion based on that
The paint company usually makes a technical data sheet for each paint and puts recommended tip sizes on there but not all do that and so those require a bit of industry experience to estimate the right tip
I have the same setup for my HVLP gun. However I find the Binks fluid regulator is not precise enough. When fluid pressure is opened, it seems to go too high. And if you try to back it off, it drops to zero. It's a new regulator by the way. Anyone else had this problem?
why not chase the product out with solvent ?? until it runs clear ?? then give it a couple of minutes and squirt again until clear ?? your method seems a bit fiddly . a bit like perculatimg a gravity fed which I don't mind doing as you get a thorough clean . lines are cheap .... time is not !!!
