No worries about cfm. No worries about that expensive compressor. No worries about moisture. I really like this.
Brian so i did my first paint job today i got a 60gal 3 hp air compressor the eastwood cc500 paint gun you used and i have to tell you for the last 2 months i have watched your videos on how to paint a car . I followed the tech sheet on how much air to use at the gun for the paint it said use 10psi and i did the paint layed thick thank god i did not get any runs that was on the rear fenders and roof and inside door jams on my wifes 78 Camaro . I did what you said you like and bumped it up to 23psi WOWOWOWOWOW what an amazing differance that paint layed layed so nice on the rest of the car . So thank you for everything you have inspired a middle age man to do more paint jobs and feel good about laying one down .I cant thank you enough Brian thank you thank you thank you .
I love this channel. I am a windshield tech, our customers are mostly body shops. I encounter a lot of paint techs, since R&I jobs deal directly with them. Your skill and knowledge level is so stratospheric, that watching your channel actually provides me with enough info that not only can I keep up conversationally, I have educated a few of them on certain things. I am a novice painter, I just finished my 4th motorcycle paint job! I am getting a turbine sprayer next month

Great Video! I've done all kinds of mechanic work, but I've never painted a car and am contemplating giving it a try. This channel makes it feel accessible/obtainable to learn for the DIY person at home, like myself, and really helping me decide how I want to go about it my first time out of the gate. In my research, Ive come across these turbines and forums saying they're easy to work with, with great end results, and it's good to see a video about them here. Really interested to see the at home video! Keep up the great work Brian!

Awesome. Turbines are super cool man
great video! I recently bought a Fuji 3stage and also operate it at about 5spi-with 105cfm. i find these are really viscosity sensitive-sweet spot seems to be about a Ford #4 12-14 second viscosity. The turbine heats up the air quite a bit-so i find i always use “slow” hardener. The 1mm works fine...but will flash dry on a hot day (dont have luxury of an indoor climate controlled booth). so use a 1.3-with fairly low material feed using single stage Urethane. High build primer/surfacer doesnt work well..but sealer works great. I love the gun. super easy to use. always dry clean air-and zero overspray. the best part is no erratic air flow from “too small ” compressors that us DYI’ers are sometimes forced to work with..great video...first good review of using these on a car!

Been waiting for this for a.long time. Thank you.
I have a Fugi 5 stage turbine. It was expensive but I live in a humid climate and getting clean dry air out of my shop air system is expensive also. No worries with this. I have 3 different guns with 3 needle sizes for each gun. Thank you for your time.
Great video Brian. Hope you can do another one using the portable unit outside doing a smart repair.
Awesome video 👏🏻 looking forward to see a video how will perform at home in more DIY modest conditions, without a booth.
Thank you your insight on one of these has sold me on one
Thanks for sharing! Awesome job!
Just bought a slightly used Apollo sprayer over 1500 new, i paid 650 and it has 4 needle sets and caps with it.
Lovely work Brian

@@BearBudgetTurbine this unit is a variable speed turbine. The technology is patented which is why no other manufacturer has anything similar. This is important for a number of reasons but primarily to keep the heat of the motor at a desirable temperature. Its kind of like having a really fast car... your not always going to mash the gas but it's nice to have the power when you need it! Manufacturers offer smaller stages in an effort to decrease overspray and heat but sacrifice air pressure which typically leads painters to overthinning materials or worse not being able to spray certain high viscosity materials like waterbased.

I didn't hear you mention one of the main advantages with the Turbine Systems... they provide clean, warm, moisture reduced air supply which eliminates so many problems. I know that shooting for a living ...some things are a automatically presumed.....but for those starting...it is one of the most important things and can be the deciding factor for a successful paint job.
Good choice for the home diy guys indeed lots of potential 💯🇺🇸👍🙏💰
I've used similar systems to the Apollo..... The Apollo is by far the best system out there.... I'm so glad you did this review the low over spray is just awesome! And the fact that it's such a compact system and no need for a compressor makes it simple for a DIY.... I think the price is good when you factor in all the extras you need to spray with a regular gun..... Air dryer, regulator,filters and compressor maintenance.

@@JR-iy7pb most definitely I have used a turbine to spray an entire car...... I have used a single stage Earlex system bottom feed/pressure with good results.... But the Apollo system is a multi stage turbine and it does a much better job and it also is a non bleeder gun which is a plus over the bleeder style guns.....and of course the Apollo is a gravity feed like the guns I use all the time. I would not hesitate to use the Apollo system. TP tools has a 3 stage system for $749 on sale and check out Amazon there are cheaper alternatives....but for automotive work stick to a multi stage turbine and choose either bottom feed or gravity feed to suit your needs.

The air is very soft and really makes the flake lie down nicely. Its much slower and as such your arm gets tired holding a quart gun. No water contamination like with a compressor. Most auto paints need to be thinned and definitely a slow reducer. The air from the turbine gets hot and dry spray is common. Very low overspray. The hose is large and bulky. Great for small jobs. I also spray waterborne and solvent paints indoors for homes and offices. Much better control than a hvlp or airless. The motors of the turbine are the same as vacuum cleaner motors(shop vac style). Anything more than 4 motor system is worthless. You can get a better deal on other brands or turbines. At one time they used that same style of gun with a thin air line hooked to a compressor. Air that is diverted from the spray, used for pushing the fluid down to the needle, takes away atomizing the paint. This style also is great for spraying bigger flake. Very nice set up for spraying motorcycle gas tanks. Its just another tool in your tool box.
We use this system at our boat shop. We shoot Awlcraft 2000 (acrylic polyurethane) 2 part direct gloss and it works great. Low overspray and no worries of an air compressor with their problems. Biggest job so far was a 65' catamaran.
I’ve been painting cars for 20 yrs in bodyshops using Sata spray guns & just recently switched to this setup and it’s different!!!! It’s taken me 9 jobs to get a feel for it bc I was running the clear!, but I’m also spraying outside in 50 & 60 degree weather… it’s different but you’ll get use to it!
wow looks like you have hyper controll with that system looks great !
I.have a relatively inexpensive turbine sprayer from Fuji ($400ish depending on where you buy it from) And if im honest it puts down paint every bit as well as any hobby / DIY level gun ive ever used. And while it wont lay down a million dollar show car finish, you can get a finish every bit as good as what most manufacturers gove you. That said a $1000 sata in the hands of someone who sucks at painting wont make them a pro, so a quality unit and decent skill can negate having to match compressor specs to gun needs and regulators etc etc... When i first started trying to learn paint and body works the thing that messed me up the most was not understanding the cfm needs of the HVLP guns (the non hvlp cup gun my neighbor gave me didnt care so long as i gave it 30psi overspray was ridiculous lol) vs what my compressor could provide. And running out to go get a "bigger compressor" really isnt feasible. These turbine units eliminate that learning curve, so if youre an enthusiast these are the way to go.

This is great for someone who doesn't have an air compressor or one that's the size they would need to pull this off otherwise. maybe if you are just getting started it would be a way to save some headache and costs. Possibly painting out of a storage unit and where you would really benefit from no overspray going all over everything. looking at this Acura an the results, I'd say the gun paid for itself on the 1st job!
Really great good job ❤️👌❤️
Im interested to know how well it does with mid-coats and primers. I hope you do a video on that too.
Would be nice, for a motorcycle business. Finding suitable compressed air supply, is a plus, with this unit. I think it would be great for these types of applications!
I was looking at these at SEMA last year. I might have to pull the trigger when I do lot lizard jobs
Great video. Looks like it lays down nice. If it lays down silver metallic with no issues you know its a good system. Definitely want to get one since I no longer have access to a spray booth and willl have to work in my garage at home. Just wondering if you reduced your base and clear the same as you would spraying from a compressor set up? Also do you think it could handle a complete paint job or mainly partial painting?
I have a 4 stage fugi turbine sprayer with the T70 gun sprayed a 47 foot Yaht in 12 mph winds and turned out perfect, l just did 2 coats of primer on a 80 Bronco in my garage, minimum overspray and 50 percent less paint used,, l have a remote control on and off that really makes it nice
I was very impressed the way you could blend out with it but the price seems a lot.

I wanted it bad when I first saw this video. I saved up as much as I could by way of side jobs. I clicked the link & it’s no good. Anyway, I think it is a Brilliant system. It’s been rebranded and is at Eastwood called the “Maximizer 2000 paint system” comes with the guns and is the same exact thing with different decals. Definitely worth the investment.
Can you make a video explaining sealers, primers, paints, and clear coats? Like what is it, when to use it, why you use it, what happens when you don't use it, around how many coats, what thinner to use. And maybe a paint thinner video? What thinners you use and the different types, I know there's a lot. I wouldn't want use the wrong paint or to add the wrong thinner and mess up a paint job.
Great video! Is the air from the turbine system a warmer air, more suitable for painting? I would have thought the turbine would have been outside of the paint booth. Very nice results.
Nice stuff
Brian is the man 🔥🔥🔥
These are pretty nice and a good option in several ways. But the price is a little out of range on this one for many. But you can buy them in same quality for half the price.

I’ve been researching these systems quite a bit, and I’ve seen a few recommendations of putting the hose in a bucket of ice water. Apparently it’s supposed to keep the air more constant as the temps in the beginning and in the end are different resulting in an imperfect finish.

I would love to know your thoughts & opinions on the FUJI.. i love mine..and actually found out about using a smaller fluid tip to atomize better after spraying 2k superbuild (2.0 tip)... (thought i was going to be blocking all day) but once it leveled out.. it was dead straight. No spot putty nothing.. sealer and base/clear.. another job start to finish... "on the go"
