The Perfect Low-Cost Hobbyist Spray Gun Choice! 

Wow, thanks!

So nice of you

Yep that's the gun I bought, agree 100%

Ya I got this same kit thinking I was getting an FLG5. Had to buy the cap seperatly. Nice cup tho. The cup alone is over 100 bucks seperatly. And you get 1.3,1.4, and 1.8 nozzle sets

@@MarcBchannel you still got a great set. With the HVLP & transtech cap with all the size tips, there's nothing you can't tackle with just one gun on a full respray. Primer, sealer, base, and clear. The FLG is certainly a quality built budget gun.

When I was looking for a beginner gun, I watched several review videos, but Brians one is the best of them. Happy with my choice (European version FLG5 with 1.3 nozzle). I do mostly rims, but I do struggle a bit with bigger panels, as I can't pump up the pressure over 21 psi. On the wall mounted water eliminator and pressure regulator I have 55-60 psi. 3 metres of 9mm inner diamater hose, devilbiss filter and sagola rc2 pressure regulator turned max, and still around 21 psi... I dunno what's wrong. Any ideas?

@csabakecskes4551 you simply have too much restriction on your feed line. Everything between the compressor and gun causes some loss including the hose if too small. A 3/8" hose is better. High flow fittings (Prevost) is what I recommend to terminate the hose. Get rid of the water filter and extra gun regulator since you have one on the wall. You only need one good wall filter like a Motorguard M30 after a plain wall regulator (no filter/regualror combo). All of that you have is overkill and is more than likely the problem. It's also not just choking pressure, it's choking air volume, which is what really operates the gun.

I don't think it was a flg 5, which is a good gun. This was the flg I think. The flg 5 says that on the gun and this read flg.

Ya that kit doesnt have the FLG5 cap. And I dont think its a 1.2 tip. The kit comes with a 1.3,1.4, and 1.8. The FLG5 cap sprays good and wide

Mine too. Its my old reliable

Soon!!! Ty

Which one better flg4 or flg5?

Making one now

I would recommend a better gun than this for silver metallics.

I hear these were originally made in Brazil. Are they still made in Brazil or in the UK?

@@MarcBchannel Agora são fabricadas no Reino Unido

Thank you! 😃

I thought it was ok until I got a DV1, it’s now a primer only gun for me.

A DV1 is an extreme step up from this gun. This is a great primer gun and a fantastic sealer gun for smaller areas.

DV1 is awesome. I just dont have enough air for it at home. They spray real nice

Did you watch the end of the video ?

@@PaintSociety yes almost as soon as I hit send I saw it. I have bought different tips from astro and for what I paid for the gun I bought one for primer and another for clear . Really get a lot of information from you. I started painting before computers and am just now getting back into it so I really appreciate the tips.

Where does the Sharpe Finex FX3000 place?@@PaintSociety

Why is that? Hearing that this gun it comes with several tips seems enticing.

@MegaTamle I own all of the finish line guns except the 4 and 5. The best one is the 5. 35yrs of painting I learned that hvlp air caps and DIY with small compressors will perform poorly. The flg is hvlp. Unless you are doing a single panel or motorcycle you will struggle mostly with pressure dropping from not enough air supply and orange peel. Brian is a professional in a spray booth. I think you would be happier with a f160, flg 5 or Kiwami 4. The Iwata is built much better. They use less air and are not hvlp. Hvlp = high volume low pressure. HIGH Volume. I have a Iwata w400 Bellaria and a Devilbiss GPI. I'm not against Devilbiss at all. Both guns use 9.5cfm or less depending on psi I use. Bellaria I use for base and gpi for clear. I use dedicated guns for certain materials. I have dedicated primer guns too. My flg guns due to them not performing nearly as well as the others. My advice is go to HF and get some cheap guns for primer, it gets sanded anyway.

@MegaTamle let me clarify, the flg 5 is trans tech. It's not hvlp the other flg guns are hvlp. You most likely will have to order overseas for flg 5. I believe the current gun marketed in USA as the flg is the hvlp version of the flg 5.

I don’t pay too much attention to exactly what I do all the time with the spray gun but if it’s working for you then stick with it.

@@PaintSociety Rajah dat 🤙 I learned so much from your vids and still continue learning 👍👍 thanks!!

Yup! What he said. FLG5 cap=More Gooder, FLG693=No Bueno

Not gona lie will choose this gun vs iwata super nova

There's only two gravity fed FLG that's current. The 693 is the HVLP one, avoid it. The FLG5 comes with the #5 transtech cap and is the one to target. Basic gun but real easy to setup... wide open fan and fluid at 29-35 psi. Moderate speed and it doesn't overload the clear

Only mini touch up guns come to mind. Iwata LPH80 1.2mm tip with E4 cap is nice. Uses less than 3cfm. Cant spray a whole car or large panels. Small parts and maybe fenders

Doubt it. It's good on air, but not that great. It's going to use about 10cfm but if you can supply what it needs it will lay glass with ease

I thought it was the flg 5 after reading the comments realised it was a little different Love your videos heaps of useful info

No comparison. I wouldn't want to use the R500 on completes. You'll lose your wet edge too easily and will have to turn the pressure up to get the mils for a wetted out smooth coat which will result in more paint usage and excessive overspray. The FLG5 with 1.4 can handle 28-35 psi without paint waste and bad overspray. It will also lay glass much easily . The caveat is the flg5 is a little heavier in the hand, but nothing terrible.

I checked the link in the description. Says “10 left”

1.3 astro and a cheap hf for primer

4 shirts a day I go through. It’s hot down here in south Florida !

@@PaintSociety I wondered where you were located. I'm trying paint my Silverado. No experience at all. Nothing for you to be concerned about.

I gotta double check. It could have been 1.3. My eyes aren’t the best for small numbers. Just check the description on Amazon

We only do small repair. And full resprays for shop builds.

@@PaintSociety have you heard of Plastech? Probably been at your shop doing PPF... But yeah thanks I'd like to get it resprayed completely

I choose this because it comes with the 1.4 and 1.8 as well
