How to Use a Budget HVLP Paint Spray Gun - Beginners Guide 

Appreciate the comment. Exactly right. These 2 points are the first to fix and youll spray a dream with a cheap sprayer or an expensive one 🖖

If i use oil based what is the less a i can thin it or how to know..

I was just coming to type this exact comment

Really appreciate youre feedback. I do try to make every video easy to follow for everyone. As i was once in the beginners shoes and know how hard it can be to understand. Thanks for watching, hopefully some of my other videos or Instagram content would be helpful too

Thanks so much for the support. Im glad you found the video helpful. Hopefully you find more content which csn help also. Happy spraying ✌️

Appreciate the comment. I'll fire it back up and see what the cups says. Ive had a few people ask similar so I'll make a new vid on it

@dennisgarcia1183 hey there was loads left in the pot. I finished the area off with airless in another video. So id have done 4 coats on it in total

Awesome glad to hear. Hopefully you'll find more value in my other videos too

Exactly that. Some of the branded ones are from chine.. but assembled in another country ha

they are. one factory will jsut ship out to all the companies

The molds are not cheap to build and if you ever looked at say any plastics food, containers you will also find that the molds are exactly the same. Take a Kraft Foods plastics Kool Whip Bowl and a Walmart, General-Foods container same thing. Cool Whip canadian 1 liter bowl, same shit as a 120z American. Probably came off the same molding machine on the same day. That there is some pretty useless information for you.

Yeah I purchased one from Walmart it's just a different name and mine is blue but everything else is the same lol

@sarahwinnals947 yes you could. Youd need to make sure the paint was diluted enough otherwise it would be splattery.

Thanks for your support and kind words. Glad you found the video helpful 🙌

yes its acrylic paint

its watwrbased and oil based. maybe youve found out by now though. just about getting the paint consistency right

Appreciate the comment. Hope the spraying goes well ✌️

Hey bud hope youre well. Ha yes not for everyday but i want to show people you can actually get them to work. Budget airless is next one im editing ha was not expecting how it worked

ha no worries. there's a variety of followers on the page from diy to professionals. I do hit it with airless on the finish coats but sometimes I like to show the diy units and if the can actually get a finish

They are cheap aswel and if it works the perfect!

It didnt use much paint to paint that area so still had probably just under half the paint left in the pot after painting it twice. You can see roughly how long it too to paint in the video, alot faster than rolling and brushing and a nice smooth finish

Did it work?

@@sprayaholic It absolutely gave me better results, how ever practice will make perfect.

If its a water based paint yes. Never had an issue, just build up the coats, dont spray too heavy each time going for coverage.

Ok thanks for the input. What the stick shows in the cup is how the paint levels back into itself quickly compared to before thinning. I'll get some more videos covering it though

Haha ye the proof reader wasn't on point

Is the pipe that goes in the pot connected to the gun? Is the trigger wheel wound all the way so you can pull the trigger all the way back? Have you checked the front end it all screwer in properly and the needle is in correctly?

appreciate the support. hope the oil spraying went well

hey, ye you could get it to spray. i dilute with my other hvlp unit. are you usin it to block odour? some of the spec sheets on other paints have said to spray with massive tips for airless which just isnt feasible. you can also warm the paint up which would make it flow alot easier aswel.

@@sprayaholic hi thanks for your response. Yes it’s to block odour. I’m in a basement and a leak has caused damp behind my kitchen cupboards. The wood at the back is not damp but the actual wall is. I believe from research there is trapped stinky air behind and between the wall and units so I plan to seal any gaps and paint the interiors of the cupboards. As nothing gets rid of the smell. This is my last resort as it’s going to take a very long time to dry out and apparently my landlady can’t smell anything bad lol. Anyway Iv no experience with a spray gun at all but the cupboards are reall deep into the corners so thought it may be easier? I was looking at this paint as it’s low voc and again thought hood for internal kitchen cupboards?

Yes it says you can

Ha thanks for watching. Which game of thrones character am i ment to be 🤣

@@sprayaholic Sam is the character you embody 🤣

@@myaudlife4399 the scroll master haha

Yes usually around 8ish inches away. Depends on the settings if its low you can get in abit closer

Depends on how thin the product is, how powerful its spraying and your distance. So you can control it with technique

ive just bought a battery powered one to test out. they can work and sure beat brushing BIN ha just takes time to dial in the settings

@francosantarossa8006 left it outside the masked room, grabbed it afterwards when i used the airless. Had good extraction and windows open and plus it was that slow the airbourn dust was so low

Thanks for the feedback, I'll alter for future videos.

Hey man all good and you? Yes ive got it. And its great, im still moving into my new workshop so once ive got a minute the video will be up

Hopefully. I picked up a batter version for 25 and it was so bad ha i couldnt get it to spray well at all. But im buying another to try

@@sprayaholic watched a review the other day on the same brand and it wasn’t bad at all will do for me. But obviously ceilings like I am doing now in my flat I have to use a roller for that as it’s quicker and easier and I can slap loads of white on pretty quick. Will try this on the walls it’s come but not used it yet as working, but will in the weekend with me luck 😂

Yes easy to use and clean out. I'll make a video shortly for that

It never said on the description. Ive tried zinsser bin shellac through it and worked. Possibly over time harsher chemical cleaners may deteriorate it but for the price it not expensive

Well its a budget unit so its not ment to constant use.

I think alot of its to do with the paint consistency. Although it was definitely alot better quality than i expected or better than cheap ones were yesrs ago

@dazzc4946 ha fair enough. If youd seen any recent stuff youd see its not actually on there anymore. Also i dont know how anyone reacts until i get any feedback. So thanks for your thoughts and maybe you'll come back again soon 🖖

@@sprayaholic Nice. I will give your newer stuff a view.

It has a power chord attached, it has a built-in fan so it sprays once power is supplied

Hey, i usually thin 10% to start and it should be decent. Also using a suitable tip size. 310 or 210 for woodwork 517 for walls as a start

@@sprayaholic Thanks very much for the advice :)

You could always try something like a large sandwich bag. Things like that have worked before. Of you clean same day it usually comes out pretty quick

The manual says it can spray oil based aswel

Youd be forever filling the cup. Youd want an airless. Take a look at my budget airless video

top coat is mc phersons durable matt from crown. i did prime it in the colour first using acrylic primer undercoat

@@sprayaholic Thanks.

i'll test it out next week and post a video

thanks for watching, have you bought one?

About 15% if i remember. Start with 10% measured out then keep adding 5% each time

I love benjamin moore, use alot of scuff x and its brilliant. it sprays a dream aswel! also the advanced is a great product when use over the stix primer. sounds like youre already onto a winner. I chop and change and always come back to BM ha. although i do want to give teknos a go

dilute maybe 5% and needle 4, shout work great. but test first and dilute more if needed

Brilliant, thanks for the advice mate!

@@claudiavoigt1567 appreciate the comment 🙏

Absorbant surfaces are ok with a diluted coat. Had about 4 coats in total as i did it with the airless after aswel

@@sprayaholic thankyou.

@@edcalibresword2311 as in the big wall? I sprayed some of it with airless. This was just a demo to show this unit in action. Not one of my normal sprayers

Hey So youd be wanting to mistcoat rooms as well as use for primer? Ideally youd want an airless sprayer. If youre mistcoating you dont want to be filling the pot up all the time and rolling would be faster than using a hvlp. Airless would get the job done and probably the best budget option would be this

Here it is mistcoating ru-vid.comJ3C2pWHbtrI?feature=share

Thanks so much, that's the one I've been looking at for a starter model to see if I can get into it. They was 110 quid for a refurb direct from screwfix last month and I didn't bite, now the refurbs have gone! Guess I'll have to go full price lol

@Martin Corrigan ha or change store and see if theres another locally. Atleast the new one if it goes wrong you take it straight back and you know its new

Yes earlier on i mention and show the difference in consistency once i diluted with water

@@sprayaholic brilliant! Thank you! Do you suggest diluting the paint you’re using in the jug of the spray gun or the entire paint can? My wife and I are going to paint an accent wall for our nursery, if I bugger it my corpse will be on BBC

@MacMan306-A haha. Just dilute the amount youre using. Not the whole tub. Only do the tub if youre going to use it all. But an accent wall id probably say it would be quicker to roll it? Consistency of single cream or there abouts

@@sprayaholic got it, will let you know how it goes!

That depends what you spray and your budget

@Sprayaholic I just want something cheap as I have sprays guns and a compressor. It will be used for small jobs

@amanda josiah take a look at this one then ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mNCZbSkuswo.html

Wagner flexible is an alright unit for the money

Thanks for the support. Yes life and work sometimes take the lead but im back and hopefully be posting every 1 to 2 weeks now im getting back into the swing of things

Had you taken it apart fully to clean? Has anything broken and does the needle move still?

@@sprayaholic we did find that a tiny air hole was plugged. Once cleaned it ran like a champ. Was hard to find because it’s just a pin hole.

@chupacabra8821 nice one. Glad you got it up and running

Liked the video!! Very informative but is it necessary to add water to water base paint I always use . Just bought the sprayer and getting ready to use it. Was just going to pour the paint straight from the can and go from there. Please advise!!

@curtisbriand4265 thanks for watching. Yes add water orherwise it will be very spitty. Paint consistency is the key for it spraying well

thanks appreciate the support. One of the first ever hvlp units i bought was from qvc and a wagner ha. i did a lot of work with that in the earl days. They can work, just knowing how to use them

@@sprayaholic agreed. Quieter than my turbine and compressor. Great channel 👍 👌

@@johnpgray alot lighter aswel haha. Thanks alot. Any questions feel free to ask
