As a hobbyist about to dive the road of prepping and painting my first vehicle, I really appreciate your videos. I have been scared to death of bodywork my entire life. Now that I'm diving in, it's not as bad as I expected. Just working the nerves out now. Thank you.

I’ve watched a number of this guy’s videos the last couple of days and this guy is incredible. Extremely skilled and seems like a really good person to boot. We’d all be so lucky to have our car cared by him.

Dont overthink it… it’s just paint. That line is what convinced me to try my hand at painting my own truck. So far the body work is coming out nice. I’m looking forward to spraying when I have the time. Thanks for the awesome videos!

Thank you for all your tips, tricks, and recommendations keep up the awesome work. This is a great gun for the diy guys in my opinion.

Brian makes it look easy folks, I have used this gun 3 times on medium sized projects all of them have come out Garbage. Prep work takes a lot of time to do, the painting part doesn't take very long. It's such a downer when your results are subpar, knowing you have to save your work by wet sanding and then polishing and polishing. Knowing what to look for setting up your gun is key and takes plenty of practice.

Brian you make look so easy You are truly an artist and a professional!

Great work again!! Love all your videos.

Excellent video, as usual! Another budget gun is the Devilbiss FLG5 (in US it has another name I think). It sprays very well and have a large pattern. Love it!

Beautiful work my man. I e been watching the life out of your channel. Thank you.

Always and amazing job. Love your work.

Once again great video. Courtesy work doesn't happen in the industry here in Australia, as its almost always edge to edge paint.As a customer here it sucks even though the insurance quotes are excessively quoted, the repairers here generally refuse to do any courtesy work. I like your work ethics Brian.

Wow someone who does it right the first time appreciate u showing the proper techniques

Thanks for posting @Bryan.I keep learning.

Hey Brian, another good video. I am a DIY painter in the UK. First gun I bought on a recommendation from the guy who sold me my compressor was the Airgunsa AZT3 HTE 1.3 tip, which looks identical to this gun. It is a great gun, fan is a bit small but can be an advantage to the beginner because of ease of control, main feature for DIY use is that it does not need masses of air for top quality results, so ideal for smaller compressors. I still use this as my main basecoat gun.

Another video gem, Thanks brother for these informative videos, Cheers from Los Angeles 🍻✌

great videos,was going to get that gun but come across the gunman videos on the devbliss flg,g5 and went with that turned out to be a great gun for the price around 200 dollars aussie,im a novice but appreciate the work you guys do and helping out in the proper spirit of you tube many thanks.

Awesoome video!! I tied the $15 harbor freight gun 1st... it was a total disaster.... major PSI issues... now have to repaint it so I am going to try this paint gun!

I just got this gun today from my local paint shop. Paid a little more than what you can get it online. I'm just a hobby shop. Re-doing a truck right now getting ready to shoot some paint tommrow and try this gun out. Thanks for all your hard work making these videos.

Another great video Brian like i said you could use a paint brush and it would come out great love your work

its a gun like this with a recommendation from you that makes the concept of home project painting a reality. that price range and results make a hobbyist paint job possible. thanks bri!

Hey Brian, another great clip. Would have liked to hear the owners happy voice when they picked it up! Great budget gun too, thanks!

Don't overthink it's just paint...I like that ! Eres un maestro Brian👍

SO MANY Great tips on here; especially for somebody like me still researching how to before I actually Dive In... haven't even bought a spray gun yet. I especially liked the tips on clear that I might not have considered: stopping your passes in the middle of panels instead of near the edge... I assume that makes it easier to polish out the overlap later. Spraying to the middle of the panel with base coat to blend in to the existing but clearing that panel all the way to the edge... I wouldn't have thought of that either. I am curious about how to know how far up the a-pillar to go with the base and clear, and to know how far back on the roof do mask or drape off. Thanks for the vid and I'm definitely saving this to watch again!

Hi from New Zealand. I love your videos, thank so much for your generosity in sharing your expertise. You guys are the bomb. Hey I can't see any mention of respirator recommendations for spraying. Can you tell us what you use? Cheers.

Hello from Russia. Great job friend!!!

Thanks for the video! It’s great that you show us DIY-ers some options that are out there and how to get it done. I’m gaining confidence that I can do the two jobs I have on my list: The first one being a Kei truck, which I think wouldn’t be too difficult to spray, and the second one, my daily Scion xB which has a scrape on the quarter panel wheel opening. The Scion would be the more difficult of the two because it will require blending the rear door.

Hi Brian, I'm intensively watching your videos since few days and that's piece of art! Soon I'm about to buy my first gun as a totally novice. Reading the internet opinions about cheap guns there are 2 models which are appearing most frequent: Air Gunsa and DeVilbiss FLG5. Will you consider to do simillar test of DV FLG 5 in near future and try to compare with Air Gunsa?

All good stuff love it man Dale axe from England

Brian you should do a review of the husky paint gun kit its like $80 on the project car and love your videos you helped me paint my car by myself as a 17 year old keep up the good work Brian 🙏💪

Awesome vid as always! I'm definitely going to pick up one of these guns since I paint guitars I think it would be perfect. Quick question, do you have vids explaining different types of sandpaper like CAMI AND P grade sandpaper and maybe the ones you recommend?

Great video!!

Super professional Keep donig your video's its very good ☑️👍🌹

I am a novice and just painted my first fender, door and bumper cover. I bought the Iwata w400 Bellaria 1.3 for $200 on Amazon and it isn't a knock off. I've watched many of your videos and I setup the gun wide open. However I was a victim of looking at the Iwata instruction sheet where it said to use 29 psi but I backed off a little at 27. When I tested the pattern, I thought it was good so I sprayed epoxy primer and then basecoat. There are a couple of things that happened that I hope I can save someone else from experiencing. First, at wide open, this gun is a paint hog and I went through a quart of base at 1:1 ratio on these three pieces. Because the air pressure was set too high creating a dry area in the middle of the spray fan and the fluid all the way out, my finish turned out dry and I used way too much paint doing it. I was extremely fortunate that the account representative from the paint supply I used offered to come to my house and help me. Instead of full fluid we turned the fluid needle 2 1/2 turns from closed and the correct pattern was achieved at 21 psi. So after wet sanding my parts with 800 grit and letting them dry, we resprayed them and they came out beautifully. I used at least 1/3 less paint. While I know this contradicts some of what you teach which we all greatly appreciate, I think with the W400 Bellaria gun 1.3 tip, a novice should be wary of running this gun wide open.

As a professional in the trade it's common practice to operate any spray gun wide open. The trick comes with fan adjustment, psi adjustment and feathering the trigger. We never go full trigger despite having it set to wide open

@robh3267

Many things can have effects to result in a dry finish, gun distance from surface, gun travel speed, fluid volume, fan pattern, air pressure, material reduction, try starting with lower recommended pressures and spray a small test panel on some scrap material first, it's also a good idea to use a separate gun for spraying primers a cheap gun works fine for primers, other variables like temperature can effect your finish especially when applying top coats, read as many application guides from the manufacturer of the material as you can and stick with that material so you can develop your technique for that material.

Why would you "feather" the trigger?. The whole point of an adjuster on the gun is to not have to "feather" it. You set ot to thw sweet spot and spray. Done.

Been using cheap guns for a while now. I'm a weekend warrior. After watching your videos. Iv decided to go with the Iwata w 400 Bellaria. Have not tried it yet. Going to do a hood this weekend.Thank you for all your info. You are a good teacher

LOL gotta love that line, "ya gotta know when to stop".

Awesome tradie Brother….

Hi Brian, another great video with advice. Tell me what do you recommend to paint a newly welded in patch panel after rust repairs?? Should I use etching primer on bare metal and 2k primer over for best protection? The repairs I do won’t be base coated for weeks so they sit in primer on the car that is under a carport outside. Thanks from Steve in Brisbane 👍

Good love it.

This gun in Canada 2023 online is about $300 so DIY's might look closer at something like Astro HE or EvoT for a lot less online. Both are awesome and highly respected.I own both and am a DYI guy too.

Got to hand it to the Americans - they always do everything carefully and professionally. Very useful Film.

Hi, This is the best reference that I have found so Thank you for all of the information provided. As well as links to purchase supplies. Do I need to use a pearl or can I just use a base and clear gloss? Please advise.

Looks great with all the “freebies”. 😄

Great video. When you buffed the headlight, did you remove the UV protective coating from the lense?

That aircap looks exactly like the "premium" Harbor Freight Spectrum guns, and the Black Widow. Don't own a Harbor Freight gun (got my W101, LPH80 & W400😎), but I imagine the machining on the head is probably around the same level. 🤔

It's a great gun for starters , I still have mine from when I started to paint , I don't use it anymore since I upgraded to sata guns but would definitely recommend this gun for beginners

Well brian,ive watched your channel for 4 hours straight now. I decided to purchase this for now as my base and clear gun for my smaller projects ( fenders , bumpers , etc ) and use my harbor freight gun as primer. And decided I'll purchase the eastwood elite series when I do a full car. Should i post to your Facebook page on my progress? My last fender i did after watching your channel turned out BEAUTIFUL. The blend matched perfect

Yup, you are right, that is a very good basic gun.

Awesome as always Brian. How do you compare this with the aston pneumatic hte? Thank you

I like white pearl. it is my favorite color.

Can you do a video on taking care of those rock chip?

I really like Iwata. Bought the Iwata 5935 1.3 Super Nova Entech LS400 (Gun Only) which comes in at around $650 including a cup adapter I wanted. As you say not everyone wants to pay that much when starting out. I was replacing an older DeVilbiss gun. So the Air Gunsa you used does look like a nice starter option... and an ‘all rounder’. ❤️ Your paint application was awesome, blending on the damaged side came out perfectly. How much cut & buff did you need to do to get that final finish? Thanks for the video, gr8 content.

Wow excellent paint👏 do you still buff the paint after you spray it or apply only wax?

Hello.love Your videos..i have a develbis gti milinium...yes 21 years old.its pretty big bulky.would You recommend this over the gti pro light.

Perfect orange peel for oem look

Since this is 6 months old, is this still what you'd recommend for a weekend warrior? Im only doing body pannels for now, but plan on doing a whole car this year. I have 2 $15 harbor freight guns now. Figured I'd use one of those for primer and my next gun as a base and clear/sealer. It is something I plan on using for another few years, so if you recommend something better that's in the $300 to $400 range, I'll go with that

A good painter can make any spray gun look great...i sometimes prefer a cheap Matco $150 as opposed to my Satas lol

I was wondering something about decision to fix rock chips. If for example some of the repair was paid by the insurance such as the fender, bumper, blend to hood and blend to left front door, does the shop upsell repair of the rock chips to hood and blending of the right front fender? I ask this because normally, insurance wouldn't cover cost of repairing rock chips and blending of right side fender if those were not part of the loss. Also, another great video! Keep em coming

I realize it's the area that you're in, most people drive these micro cars - but if you get one in, could you show some techniques for working on full size trucks? Of course, most of it's the same, but having to deal with a roof that's 6+ ft in the air, or just dealing with the hood... it's a real trick! Not to mention the sheer volume of materials. I just painted my '08 Sierra, and it was a task!

Hello 👋Brian say what do you think could be the problem sometimes and I shoot the basecoat some areas feels like overspray or rough texture and its not on the blending areas thanks for your helpful tips 👍👍

You also did a video using the Astro Euro, which one do you prefer?

nice video, i am a diy'er and have a kia sorento rear 1/4 i need to do. but i want to know after the final clear coat should l buff it out and what would you suggest?

man I love watching clear lay out! I start working in a collision shop in a couple weeks, I am ordering this gun. What cup/adapter are you running?

The issue I see with DYI garage guys is not so much that they want to cheap out on the gun, but that their compressors are rated 30 gallons or less and 5 CFM or less, and most guns, even the one above, (except LVLP ones which are hard to come by) are rated for least 10 CFM. So ... 1) will that around-10 CFM gun that you are reviewing here work somewhat well with a 30 gallon 5 CFM compressor? 2) If so, any special settings or reducer type or PSI recommended to compensate for the only 5 CFM compressor? Thanks! Your videos are GREAT!!!

Hello Brian, Can you please tell me how this Iwata 92030 compares to the Astro EUROHE? Great info. Thank you
