Thanks to this guy my GTO turned out great. The local paint shop wanted 3000 $ just to spray it, not including material. just material cost me a little over 1000$ and I did it myself, and I couldnt have done it without this guy, he doesnt waste time with anything that doesnt need to be said, .

I like the fact you explain the reason behind everything. For me that’s what a good teacher does.

​@PaintSociety sorry to bothered you but I have a 2005 honda civic 2 door coupe, I have taken off all body parts to sand and prime individual. I o ly have a 6 gallon craftsman air compressor, is that good enough to ,prime, paint, and clear since the hole car is in individual pieces. Thanks for your time.

Thanks brian my 12 year old and my 15 year old just painted the body on my 69 camaro by themselfs with your videos on my driveway and it came out better than 15 years ago that was done by professional thank you

Decades ago when I was painting, I mounted a true pressure regulator on my guns, not just a variable restriction valve as we see in the beginning. This was long before HVLP was invented, but maintaining the exact pressure to get perfect fan and atomization was just as important. With a true pressure regulator the difference indicated with trigger off, and full air flow, is virtually the same, not high pressure off, and way lower with flow. Setting the spray pressure with test pattern as we see here is a critical skill to develop. It only takes a few moments to adjust and look, adjust and look, then get to the job. This is a fantastic video! Makes me want to paint again, after 30 years away from the craft. I was part owner of a hi-fi speaker company. I painted thousands of cabinets with everthing from full automotive finishes to classic clear urethane clear wood finishes. Also painted guitars for a few luthiers, solids and metallics, even metal flakes. Lots of fun with the custom stuff👍👍

you are a great teacher. you explain everything very well. just spent my whole weeked watching your videos and tossed everything out of my head that i thought i knew about painting and starting over now. but its not a bad thing to just take a step back once in while and relearn something i like to do thank you for all your great videos and tips

I have only painted, 2 of my own cars . Soooo awesome to hear, a “PRO” , explain proper gun pressures. “THANK YOU BRIAN” !!!!! 🏆

First, I love your videos. You mention that the DV1 sprays at a lower pressure but I noticed the digital gauge is close to the air cap. I recall taking a seminar years ago and I think it was PPG that gave a very low PSI rating and the instructor explained that this low pressure was AT THE AIR CAP and then explained that no gun (at that time) had the ability to measure pressure at the cap therefore the tech sheet psi was very misleading and was causing problems for people. I just went online and found the manual for the DV1 and there is a chart in it that says that inlet to the gun of 29 psi equals 15 psi at the digital gauge. So in reality, it doesn't spray at a lower pressure, it simply displays the lower pressure which is present at the air cap which is something all guns could benefit from in my opinion as it removes the pressure drop between the two which would be different for each gun.

Dude, I watch your channel exclusively. I am done watching backyard auto body since I found you. Great job explaining detail. My daughter and I are restoring a 1988 Bronco she bought. I am in the middle of body work and constantly watching your instruction, in preparation for the upcoming paint. I feel confident that it will be a great paint job, thanks to you. Awesome channel. Thanks Bro!

Was it a great job?

Thanks for your videos. I am painting my second car now with your video help. Mine isn't coming out as good as yours but for having a cheap gravity feed gun, painting outside and never painting a car before, I am quite pleased with my results. I have had project cars in the past that I never finished because I was to afraid to paint. But listening to you, don't over think it, it's just paint, made me do it. This one is a van I am painting 2 tone. If you haven't already, you should do a 2 tone video.

Awesome vid👍 Like you say, "Don't overthink it, it's just paint". I'm just a self taught home painter and when I first started I stressed alot about what gun to get/what psi to use. I now look at what material I'm using, the viscosity taking into consideration how much it's thinned/mixed, the temperature of the material, ambient temperature, using an appropriate tip gun, and adjusting the psi/fan/fluid to get the right pattern/atomization. Spray guns are not complicated. They all spray paint they just have different tips and air caps that change the placement and size of the airholes. Some are better at certain jobs than others but all basically do the same thing albeit with some workarounds and fine tuning. I guess it is alot for beginners. I appreciate videos like this that break the info down for the beginner and a refresher for people who don't spray all the time like me👍

One of the best teaching videos Brian, awesome and learnt so much from it. Keep up the great work brother. Much respect

Your videos give me the confidence to paint at home!! Thanks Brian

Just getting into this and found your video extremely useful! Thanks for taking the time to share your talent with the rest of us. I know I sure appreciate it!

Brian you are a great teacher. Another great video!

Very informative, thank you for taking the time to explain what the different textures mean and how to correct them.

Best tutorial ever !!! Thankyou so much for the detailed step by step especially for newbies like me . 👍

I'm really enjoying these videos, as I prepare to rid myself of the '93 Capri that's been taking up space in my barn for six years. One thing, though: your motto is "don't overthink it; it's just paint." And then every word out of your mouth contradicts that!

Finally!!! This is the info i have been looking for this past 3 days. I am having trouble with my new gun. Now i can go correct my settings. Thank you

Hands down this is the best explanation I have seen for gun pressure.

Great job. Learned several points in this video. Liked your explanation and visual of how spray pattern and droplet size should look.

This is some of the best content. THANK YOU BRIAN. Hardware info in a great package. Would love a similar vid on compressors and which ones would be enough, which ones wouldn’t, and how you apply their specs .

Thanks for these excellent videos. As a first timer on painting I am also trawling the back catalogue. Basics videos like set up and cleaning have been really useful. I would love to see how to paint a roof on a high SUV / Truck with a gravity gun. I am finding quite few challenges!

Great video thanks for explaining everything bro! Big thumbs up

I used to own a small restoration shop in New Haven Ohio. Back when Sata jet was all the rage. I hated that gun! Watching you has taught me a lot. I wonder now if it was the gun or the operator. I put out some great paint work, but I seemed to fight it nonstop.. Thanks for your content !

Awesome demonstration! Looking at the edges really made a difference in the changes made.

Finally thanks for the video. Now I have some more detail in what way to adjust my paint gun.

Brian , you do such a nice job with making these videos. By following your instructions I was able to see and understand why using the proper tip size is so crucial especially when spraying 2k primer . with the 1.3 tip I was getting a texture finish the spray pattern was to fine . I just wanted to get a little practice, as you always say consult with the manufacturer, I called them. They said I could reduce the product or switch to a 1.9 / 2.0 tip I am looking forward to doing a little practicing with everything set up properly….

Thanks for the tip on setting pressure for the paint gun

very good tips, thanks for your time!

Master at work. Thanks for such a professional lesson.

Great video, and well explained. This is definitely going to help me get used to my new HVLP setup. I couldn't get my primer to spray yesterday. It was extremely slow coming out and did not fan properly. Adjusting the pressures didn't help with it. I assume it needed to be thinned. But today with the paint, I feel like I will be better prepared. Thank you

Thank you for psi adjustment help.

Thank you Brian ))) Super video! You are quite a good teacher!

Thanks for the video. You taught me the relationship between air pressure, material volume and viscosity. When I've got the spray gun in my hand, and the work in front of me, that is what I want to understand; and how to make adjustments to achieve the optimum spray pattern. I have always re-sprayed my own car when required, but often have had too much pressure and too much volume, resulting in 'orange peel'. With acrylics, this takes ages to sand back because the coatings are so hard. On he strength of your advise, hope to get it right next time.

Another Great Video. Thanks paint society!

Absolutely brilliant as usual . Thanks very much !!!!

Thanks for the great explanation. I’ve never painted anything before other than a spray can or brush. Just learning to paint so I can do my old family tractor. Not concerned with looks, just good coverage without runs.

Nice to learn from an ACTUAL PRO. thank you

Agreeing with the video. Before I started painting, and having only a 20 gal/175 psi comp, I thought I could use my hose volume as an extra supply of high pressure air and that the regulator on the gun could step that down to a precise 22 psi for me. I did some testing amd proved to myself that this DOES NOT WORK! Reasons: 1. the gun regulator cannot handle that large a delta P with any precision, and 2. even if your gun regulator could handle such a high delta P, the hose pressure will drop tremendously as the compressor’s tank pressure drops - it will not stay at that high pressure. So your gun regulator is going to play hell because its inlet pressure is dropping continuously and by a LOT. Exactly as the video says, I keep my hose pressure at 45-50 psi and I try to get my coats done before the tank pressure drops to that pressure because below that pressure, my air delivery will start to change because the delta P at the gunis not longer more or less constant. This and pre-shoot patterning on the wall have kept me from screwing up so far. So yeah this is why larger volume tanks and higher cfm compressors help you cover more surface area per coat.

Thanks for all your help man!!

Hi. I watched your video regarding the pressure setting for spray guns. I really liked the video as it was very informative. Because my compressor specs wouldn't support your typical HVLP gun, I purchased a highly rated LVLP gun from Amazon. When I received the gun, it appeared to be solid and good quality. I noticed that the operating pressure range was between 29 and 50psi. That made me say hmmm... since you suggested starting out around 22psi. I must say that this was my FIRST paint project. I thought I was prepared for the project (a hood, bumper cover and spoiler) after watching a couple of your videos. The gun came with 3 tips/nozzles (1.3, 1.5, 1.7). The first item I painted was the bumper cover with the 1.3 tip and 40psi. The 40 gave a nice texture on paper and gave me a pretty decent paint with some minimal orange peel. I applied the clear coat with great results with some orange peel. My hood turned quite differently as I have quite a bit more orange peel. Overall, I believe the hood paint job is salvageable as I think color sanding will smooth it out. I'm not sure, but could you recommend something different I could try with my LVLP gun to arrive at better results. I feel like my distance from gun to surface was mostly consistent but maybe my speed could've been adjusted... maybe slower or faster, I'm not sure. Thank you.

Man i am 61years old and my binks gun is old school and got a Deville s i was wrong in the air hose , fittings i got my paint supplier too get it right and your show got me back to spraying again

I'm a hobbyist watching these videos (using an Iwata PS-290 and spraying small items) and seeing the same thing with droplet size, the larger droplets are just not blending well together. It's such a fine balance with the air pressure, paint viscosity and spray distance/speed. Thanks for the explanations.

Great video as always Brian. One thing that I think it is very important for people to understand about the DV1. It isn't that the gun is somehow magically able to spray at very low pressure, it's that the gauge on that gun is reading the pressure higher up inside the gun vs at the inlet. The inlet pressure from the wall is going to be similar to most other guns. If you were to use the version of the DV1 that doesn't have the digital gauge and wanted to use a traditional gauge at the inlet or on the wall, you would set it up as Brian is demonstrating for guns in general (22-25psi to start).

@Senith2598

Жыл бұрын

if only people read the manual on the DV1 it would explain all of it, 15psi on its digital gauge is 29 psi on a standard gauge.

Thanks for the abundance of information. One thing though as a diy we don't have different guns for the 3 applications. It would be great to use one gun and show us.
