HVLP Spray Gun Basics- How To setup 

After watching paint gun set up videos for 3 hours, you appear to be the only guy on YT that can actually explain how a gun works and why. As an engineer I’m all hung up on facts and details. This video was VERY informative. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!

I have watched, no joke, probably 10+ hours of videos on guys showing how to paint with HVLP and this was THE most useful video about gun setup by far. I think the biggest thing is that you showed what happens when the settings are too far out, which is extremely easy to do when you're new. Most guys just show "always set the gun up like this" which is hardly useful for DIYers who don't have access to a paint booth or live in more extreme climates. Thank you!!!

Instructional video's don't get any better than this one. Covered all the important areas without any wasting any time and the demonstrations were top-notch.

I wish everyone could teach as well as you as its so frustrating and takes so long to find useful and well constructed tutorials.

I've looked at literally hundreds of videos on spraying, this is by far the most informative, thankyou! And what a great guy

Thank you for making this explanatory video. In 8 minutes you have given me everything I need to know to feel confident about using my new HPLV set up. Possible the best 8 minutes I have ever spent on RU-vid.

Finally RU-vid gives me a good recommendation. Best video about spray guns on this platform, thank you

I want to add my compliments for a very well done video, to all the rest you have received so far. I won't repeat all the reasons everyone has found your video helpful, but they all apply. When I find a truly useful video on here ( and not all of them are certainly ), I think it is good to tell the person. Thank you for taking the time to make this !

Thank you from the UK. I am a first time user of Spray guns and as a lady DIYer, I can honestly say that this was the most useful video online. Feeling way more confident about doing my various paint projects now.

This was PERFECT for what I needed! Showing the extremes really helps newbies like me understand what's going on. Thank you so much for this video!

This is the video I've been looking for. All the other spraying tutorials on RU-vid left me with unanswered questions and wasted time. You're the best, thanks!

Tom, that's an educational home run + what Tom G said! Thanks again.

This might be the best HVLP tutorial in existence. Great work!

Yours is the BEST explanatory video on the concepts of how spray painting works. The BEST explanation.

Love this video. My work recently installed a paint booth and I’ll be running this type of gun. Great tips and how it all ties together.

IDK if you'll ever read this comment, but THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video. 🙏🏻 I'm new to painting with a gun like this, and was having trouble with dry paint ending up all textured and pebble-y. I watched dozens of YT vids, but YOUR video SAVED my project! A 1955 GMC pickup truck I am restomodding. Especially the part beginning at 2:11. Thank you for explaining this so amazingly well! I applied an AMAZINGLY smooth, glossy coat of single-stage black urethane on my pickup's roof last night. And honestly, that's been the toughest part to paint with primer to date. This morning, it looks like black glass. Just amazing! Thank you again so very much! 💙💙💙

HANDS DOWN, THE BEST VISUAL LEARNING Tutorial/Walkthrough on youtube, EVER!!!

Pure Gold... Best HVLP beginner set-up guide on RU-vid. Thank you...

Finally a video that makes sense of the instructions included with the gun. Thanks for the demo and explanations of each component.

The first spray gun video I've seen that explained and demonstrated the effects of input pressure. Well done!

Thanks for sharing! I’m a DIYer, just got me one of this little ones, I feel more comfortable using it, taking it apart and cleaning it!!

Very happy with the way this guy explains things. Building up my confidence to finally start working with my spray gun. Thank you.

I’ve watched at least 20 hvlp RU-vid setup videos… in my humble opinion, this is the best! Well done!

Omg thank you for this video. I work at HF and I been wanting to buy this little gun for a project I’m working on. This video is exactly what I’ve been looking for !

Hi Tom, Your video came just in time for me. Getting ready to paint my antique tractor and have never used a spray gun. Thanks, John

Very good instructional for these hvlp setups, thank you for sharing. Answered all the questions I had

I was a super pro auto painter for years - I never have seen this explained so well! - wish i had YOUt back when I started

As someone who is just starting out with a spray gun, this was FANTASTIC..THANK YOU!

Thank you man, compared to other videos on RU-vid this was super clear and super informative. I'm wanting to get into automotive painting and this was really helpful.

Been in the coatings industry for over 20 years and have never used HVLP only airless! Have decided to purchase and learn HVLP spraying this year. Thanks for the great videos✌🏽

Good job describing how the guns work and also demonstrating the set up. You are a good teacher.

Excellent, excellent video. Covered all the basics without wasting any time.

You're really an adorable instructor with the most informative video for spraying with a hvlp gun!! Really great! Now I can tackle my garage! Thanks!!

Thank you for very clear and to the point explanations. This is the best video I've seen on spraying basics concepts so far.

Fantastic... thanks for the video.. great explanation of what each adjustment is actually doing..

Thank you so much! I just got my first paint gun and just didn't understand clearly how to use it. I've watched videos and it just wasn't clicking. I watched your video and it all clicked, made perfect sense! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm subscribing to your channel. I love how you break it all down. Made it so much easier to understand the tool.

Just got a HVLP spray gun today... watched this video. I feel more confident than ever!

Great information tom. I'm an industrial sprayer I spray window frames for all super markets, Mc Donald's, wickes, KFC. also ceilings, cladding on industrial units. We use hvlp turbines on window frames and while getting a brilliant finish they ain't as quick as gracos air assisted, airless pro finish

super good video! Thanks for taking the time to explain so well what is going on...

Simple and super easy to understand, you‘re a good teacher sir!

Thank you sir, this is my first to use an spray and having trouble with job, I found your video and I will follow your instruction, so I do hope that I can fix my job

I've watched 20 videos... this solved every issue I was having. Thank you for the detail.

I watched like eight videos on it how to use one of these paint guns and I cannot lie yours is the best of all of them! Thank you for not wasting so much time!

Most informative video I’ve seen on painting with a spray gun. So glad that you uploaded it. I learned more while watching your video then hours of videos from other people. Thank you

Awesome instruction and demo. I feel more confident in buying one now. Thanks.

Doing this for the second time and couldn't remember what I was doing. Truly excellent tutorial. Thanks again.

Nicely done. Thanks for the info. As a side note April 2019 - Covid-19 times. The Fire Department I work for is utilizing this same spray gun to dispense a germicide for disinfecting our ambulances. Inexpensive an works great.

i bought a California Air Sprayer and it came with bad instructions. Your video hit it right on the head when it comes to training! It's great for a beginner sprayer. Thanks a bunch for this video!

This was the best best video out of many I have watched. I'll be spraying guitars and bowls with lacquer and this was really useful.

Really well explained and demonstrated. I am going save this video for keeps. The man is a natural teacher. I love it !

I really appreciate this, I have been just fine tuning with use, but having the dials explained and shown is very helpful.

Very detailed and easy to understand, nice work on this tutorial video!

I am just learning to paint and this video to me is the best breakdown of how to set up a gun that I have seen.

This is the best video on RU-vid about how this works. You are an awesome instructor! Thank you!

I do woodworking and have been debating on one of these since I have a shelving project coming up. This is very helpful on how to clean/use the gun.

Finally professional! Good job bro u know your gear. Plz continue making videos, too many fakes on RU-vid Thanks for teaching me something new 👍

excellent video, this gun was making me nuts, thank you so much

Finally a video that punches straight to the point! All the facts laid out and the "why" to each usage. Appreciate such concise video, thanks for this!

Brilliant, just started using spray gun for a few small touch up jobs and parts, my dad had small devilbiss one from years back but need one now to paint full CRX panels so this is massive help, wondered what all the controls do, now i know👍 had no idea you could adjust fan width, worth getting half decent gun, time to check your other videos

Thank you for sharing tips and tricks makes it easier to know what to do to get started on some basic stuff 👍🏽I have used it a long time ago on the dash of my truck. I mixed up rustolum paint thin it then just went for it. The hardest part of the whole thing was prepping the dash so when the black paint went on it would look good. No one knew the difference when I parked it at a car show. Auto paint black for a small can was $80.00 conpaird to $8.00 can of black paint of RUSTOLUME. I wouldn't use it for the out side of it. I would buy inexpensive paint before I would use RUSTOLUME I've seen it done but you could notice it looked like a really cheap paint job on the car. You can wet sand and buff out the Orenge peel. There is a video of some guy cutting and buffing but he is a professional that wanted to show it could be done not to count in the factor of how many car's and truck's he's done in his life time.

Nice video. I have that exact gun. Gets the job done for what I'm painting (guitars, not cars). I've used the gun quite a bit before but just recently switched to automotive lacquers and a little more tuning and adjustment is going to help. The water based paints I have used in the past are a little more forgiving.

Love the diagramming on the brown paper!

Thank you. This was a super informative video. You have given me the courage to start using one to redo kitchen cabinets.

I’ve decided to try spraying for the first time ever and this video is the best in my opinion for me as a complete novice. Thanks Tom.

Excellent video Tom! This is the kind of detailed explanation I newbie needs. Well done

Well done..Thanks for easy to understand spray gun techniques

So far the most informative video I found. And clearly explained. I don't want to screw up. When time and money are available, need to get the 57 D100 back on the road. Low buck build in the early 80's. First truck I owned, and was a family build. Only thing farmed out was the Fury front clip welded on for IFS. I've only sprayed primer, dad always sprayed the paint. He recently passed away, so I want to go through my neglected truck. Hopefully a paint supply shop can mix the colour. Charcoal grey with extra metallic. It pretty much looks black. A little over a year till the next Red Deer Mopar meet.

Great video Tom. Thanks for all the great info. Keep up the good work.

This is an amazing video...thank you for taking the time to explain this so well

Hey,I think you have a knack for this. Good job.
