The best combination of advice: simple, complete, and to the point. I have a new HF purple gun. My first project was to refinish some outdoor furniture. I figured a mistake or so here wouldn’t matter. My wife was out for a few hours and when she returned she was amazed at the new chairs and table ready for summer BBQs. Good gun and great explanation.

I got this gun too for a one time deal and was very impressed too. Shot base, pearl and clear like a champ 👍 Great vid

Very good explanation. Thanks for putting it all in language I could understand. You are a good instructor 👍

I bought a harbor freight paint gun to paint my truck dash with rustolum black paint. I've taken it to car shows and no one knew I used a cheaper spray gun and shot rustolum paint. I would use it for many thing's to paint never a car only because I don't know how or never have. Painted a hood for this elderly woman with white paint it came out better than I thought I would have done it.

Thank you for a straightforward explanation and demonstration. It really helps to see the impact of the adjustments on the spray pattern.

A new person is not seeing what or where your hand is or doing. You need to be turned the other way so the video people is seeing where your fingers are going to. Changing the air pressure was outside the bottom of the video and could not be seen what you were doing. New people will not know al the names or what knob is what. The knobs on the gun need to face the camera not hidden on the back side and can not be seen. Each time you adjust a knob rename what it is. Repitition helps them learn. Thanks Great video, better than others

This is an awesome video. Your advice on how to fix the uneven spray patterns is invaluable.

This was a great tutorial, short and informative. I don’t use a sprayer often, and have produced some excellent finishes. But since I don’t do it often it takes time to learn how to do it all over again. Your video makes that beginning learning curve non existence. Thanks Brother, good job!

I bought this gun to paint some cabinets. Haven’t used a HVLP since high school in auto body class. I was so intimidated even scared, to use the gun. So I pulled out the airless sprayer it used way to much paint. Now I feel confident that I can use it. Thanks for the info.

Awesome. Got an hvlp for Christmas. Haven't used it yet cuz I didn't feel comfortable to start. Watched a couple of videos that were easy to technical and kinda scared me away from it. But you definitely dumbed it down enough for my dumb a__. Using with it with water first is a great idea and it helped break into it and not feel anxious.

First thing to do is Clean the gun with Acetone to remove manufacturing grease.

Thank you. I was just given one of these guns and have never used a paint gun before.

Thank you so much for getting me started. I'm sure I may have questions but you gave me enough to get started. Great video

Man this guy is amazing

Been painting professionally for 15 years now(I restore construction equipment), and...those guns..are the ONLY ones that I use now. I have found, the better the paint...the better the finish. I've done 11 Bobcats(White, black and orange) with one gun. I've even stretched some to 18 projects. My customers love the results. Just make sure to keep the gun clean, especially the front nozzle. make sure to soak it in acetone, then, with a very fine wire...clean the time holes in the center.

Thank you for this tip video. I am one of the new guys to true paint guns. I bought two purple and one green gun from HF and wasn't sure how to get the right pattern set. Awesome instructional video, can't wait to watch more of your vids!.

Great video i changed my air fittings to high volume and only use the regulator on the wall works a lot better

These guns are great for primer and cheap paint.$9.99 can’t go wrong

Most importantly clean all of the oil out of the gun with acetone before using these come loaded with oil everywhere disassemble and clean good if not you’re looking for problems

@@RickaramaTrama-lc1ys I used to have one of these guns and I used acetone for cleaning after spraying polyester primer through it. Acetone won't be a problem in the fluid section of this gun. The cup is a plastic that isn't affected by acetone. Everthing else is metal except the needle seal which is teflon. Just put acetone in the cup and run it through the gun. The gun body is anodized aluminum and that's not affected by acetone so you can wipe the gun down with it if you wish.

Thank You. I have a ways to go before I feel confident enough to try painting. But that's okay because I still have a lot of body work to do first. I figure now is probably the time for me to learn.

Saul Basua best thing to do is run some lacquer thinner thru it pull the air cap. fluid tip and needle and wipe them down with some thinner. Then put it back together and flush again with clean thinner. I usually leave some thinner in my gun and store my air cap in it. This makes sure no residue will set up if you didn’t get it clean. I store mine hanging up and I use them quite often. If yours will not be used very often then you may just want to flush with solvent till it’s empty and store it dry. Thanks for watching.

But if you got extra paint to waste then so be it. But if your trying to be as efficient as you can, which a DIYer should want to do, then you should spray at the proper psi. If a panel only requires 2 oz why use 5 oz to get the job done? Or if the guy selling you the paint says 2 oz will be more then enough and you go home with 2 oz but your gun isnt set up right so it blows thru that 2 oz before the job is done.. but like I said if you got paint/money to burn sand that's the only way you know then that's fine.
