How to setup your compressor for paint 

Nobody else is including this critical step in spraying a car. Thanks for this!

The people's champ does it again! Thanks for all the great videos. Unlike all the other channels that say "best small compressor at home spray guns", then run them off pro 60 gallon tanks you actually show how to run on a small tank. Top notch

Bro!!!! I didn't even consider the effect of this 100' hose. You sir are my hero today.

My wife just bought me a 26 gallon, and I bought a LPLV gun. I have new filters also, I sincerely appreciate these vids man.

First time painter, been watching your videos and purchasing products per your suggestions. Now its time to get to work... Excellent content for a novice to learn...keep em coming...thanks for the info

Thank you. This was what people don't understabd when they start painting.. What goes along with that is "while painting, don't let up on the trigger as you turn back for the next stroke." In your video when you let up on the trigger and the pressure goes up to like 60, the split second you pull the trigger, you will for a split second, get 60 psi at the nozzle instead of the 30 . You can hear this in your video. Each time you pull the triggeer, you can hear a RUSH of air. To correct this, when painting never let all the way off the trigger. Just relax the trigger at the end of a run, but keep the AIR flowing through the gun with out siphoning any paint.

you explain things simply brilliantly!!! Of course the longer your air hose, you'll need slightly more air pressure coming out of the compressor. Also it prevents the compressor running all the time and some water separators have pressure limits. Also ensuring you have no air leaks between the compressor and the gun helps. Top job good sir!! Hello from Newcastle, Australia!!

Finally someone who could answer the question for me. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!

And this is why you are THE PEOPLES CHAMP!!!! …. All new painters should definitely sub to this channel

UPK, I appreciate the jewels you feeding the people. I am working with the same compressor and I was clueless about the set up; until I saw this video. Thank you! #1965Chevelle

Great info, UPK! I'm getting ready to paint my truck once the weather warms up and this video is a huge help. Thanks man!

Great info UPK. This will definitely help me with losing pressure, I have a small Craftsman 30 gal 5 hp that works well but these tips will up my game. The Peoples Champ at it again with awesome tips. Thanks UPK

Appreciate the info bro! I have a similar setup, with your thorough description of using a small compressor we can know get consistent air pressure and turn out some quality work.

Thankyou!! I love the way you explain everything in detail 🙏💯

Out of all the channels I’ve checked out, you most definitely give the best advice. Keep them vids coming.

Most excellent lesson! That is something beginners like myself might never have considered. Thank you for the great and informative video.

This is pretty much exactly how I have mines setup , for consistent air flow. Dropping pressure is a big problem with smaller compressors with those bigger guns I use and this setup like this has helped dramatically. Good video brother

You are a great teacher. Thank you much. ❤

Comment Dropped 👑 from Grand Rapids Michigan. Thank you for all you do for us DIY garage painters. After watching videos for 2 years, I finally pulled the trigger (no pun intended) and painted two cars this year. Learned a lot. They both look awesome from 5 ft away. Success! Thanks again man. Best wishes to you.

Sending thanks for being a real one and giving me a real video understanding basics

Another great vid from the peoples champ. We’ll be waiting for your spray gun set up video.

Thank you! This was the video I was asking for and you delivered. I appreciate you showing the people! Can this be done with a compressor with only one gauge? My small hotdog compressor only has one gauge on it.

Again with a great/informative video…

Good vid UPK. Wish I watched a video like this before I had to learn all of that the hard way lol

Thanks for this valuable info 😌

Sir, thank you for very important information - very helpful for a DIYer

Great video! This helped 😊

Another great video!!! Dude im glad i found ur channel. Can u do a video or link maybe uve done it before to setting up ur paint gun. Spray pattern, flow etc. i know its been covered before but ur better at explaining things then the other videos ive seen. Maybe just touch on what the knobs on the gun actually do. I see some ppl spray cars with the front fan pattern thing vertical and some with that set horizontally.

Thank you for the great video appreciate the info sir

Appreciate your work man. Taking on paint and body for me is like pulling teeth with a butter knife. Lol. Thanks for the breakdown! Great video.

Excellent!

Thanks for making this video I learned from this

Thanks for good info.

Awesome 👌 Great video Thank you so much for sharing the k n knowledge 🙏

Thanks UPK Good basic info so we don’t hunt around too much for settings. Is that a high flow air hose? I’ve got a HF compressor also and the summit Lvlp gun, just seeing if a hose makes all the difference also. Getting my garage geared up for some painting and learning experiences 💯

Really this channel is the best and UPK is the correct name. Stay up keep up the good work

your the man. i just got one regulator and thought i would be fine.... guess im goin back to the store!

good job bro that a big help

i am using a 100ft hose so this is very helpful, as always

Excellent instruction
