Brian, you’re confident, genuine, and straight to the point. It’s rare to find someone who can give so much pertinent advice in so short a video. But, for me, the most noteworthy and encouraging part of the video is your candid disclosure of those nightmarish finishing ordeals you went through. Been there, so I can appreciate your honesty. Thanks for sharing, and power to you. ( I wish I could like your video a couple hundred times! )

Thank you for the amazing comments, it's really appreciated!
Very informative! One of the best videos on spray painting! 4 years down the line, this video is more relevant than ever. Thank you for sharing this.
This video was very helpful in answering a lot of my questions. You did a fantastic job explaining the whole process in details, and was very honest in the knowledge you shared.
Just came across this video. One of the most detailed explanations on KZread. Great video.
Excellent video!! I've been painting a long time you get straight to the point easily explained. Nice job!
Outstanding training video. His experience shows and speaks volumes on the subject. Best video ever experienced on KZread.
The way he explained step by step off the whole process is just perfect..... These guy deserve many more likes..... And many more subscribers

Thanks Brian. I have just bought my a Fuji turbine HVLP paint spray rig and doing research pre and post buying when i came across your two videos. Really helpful and clear =- will help me a lot to get started when the kit arrives!!
Thank you. I'm getting ready to paint replacement cabinet doors and this being my first attempt at spray painting, I have watched a lot of videos. You have the clearest explanations.
Brian, this is exactly what I’ve been looking for to help spray latex. Thanks for your attention to detail and clarity!

Brian, Really nice video. I agree this video should have a lot more likes as it is all around great info on how a proper spray pattern should look. I am just starting out but seeing what it should look like and then giving some guidelines on how to get there is great. I can't afford a real high end HVLP gun yet but starting with an earlex 5500 and sherwin williams paints and with your info am confident I will get good results to start. I have to remember- less is more in the spray game. Also really nice to see someone that actually replies to reasonable questions left in the comment section!!! Thanks again.

Thank you! I started in spraying with cheap Porter Cable guns on the compressed air side and Wagner on turbine with professional results. I can actually shoot as good of a coat as with the Fuji with a Wagner, the Fuji just makes it much easier and gives more control. Buy the best tool you can afford and practice the technique, you will lay down great finishes! Thanks for watching!
I learned more in this one video than i did from the last 10 i just watched. 🤝appreciate Brian.

That was great. This is hands down the best paint with a sprayer video video I found. I actually took notes.
Doing my homework this weekend for work next week and this video has been the most informative yet. Thank you man now it’ll look like I know what I’m doing and that makes a happy boss
Brian, I think you touched all the worries and small problems for beginners like me who sees them as even show stoppers. Thanks a lot for this video it is worth every minutes of it.
Very professionally done Brian. Informative and well worth the time watching. You're a natural!
Brian, thanks for presenting such a well-explained and detailed video on paint spraying. I do have some spraying equipment, but have yet to try it out on a real project. After watching this video, I'm ready to give it a try!
Thanks for this video. You really helped me understand how I should approach my fan size and material atomization. Much appreciated!
This video honestly should have a couple hundred k viewers. I've been trying to find good videos to learn on how to get good finishes and this by far was the most helpful and easy to understand. Didn't make things more complicated than they needed to be. Thanks for the video and info!

@@briancnc Actually I'm about to attempt staining and finishing some doors and trim. I don't think the video would be out by tomorrow :P but curious if you got the time and have sprayed lacquered doors before if you have any tips you could share now. Seems like some guys thin it down 50/50 then 70/30 and sand after second coat. Curious if you have any suggestions and order of operation. After the doors I still have all the trim to get done but for now only had the space to get the doors done. Outside that I'd personally take a video on your preferences for different finishes and why you go with what you do. Seems like everyone likes something different and I just try and gather as much info as I can and go from there. I haven't dug into all your videos yet either but maybe a comparison on different guns assuming you have experience with more than just the one you use now. Many of the guys watching your videos I would say aren't going to have as nice of gun/setup. I personally just bought a cheap Astro 4008 off amazon and picked up the line filter as well. Have no idea what to expect but hoping for a decent finish but honestly I have no idea weather the gun is good or if I need to spend more or not, but I figured for 35 bucks if its crap at least i'm not out hundreds. Edit: just read your response to the comment below about guns so you got my hopes up that I should be able to get a good finish if I do it right, but would still take any info on your order of operations when it comes to lacquer :)

@@BirdBuster91 It all depends but typically lacquer is first shot with a sealer coat for solvent based. This is nothing more than thinned out regular lacquer but from a dealer you can shoot it from the can without thinning. Then I thin according to the manufacturer. For solvent finishes it's very simple they give you mixing cups and a ratio, for more home center types they won't instruct anything and you will just have to do some trial and error. For water based lacquer I like to lay down two coats before scuff sanding as it's really thin on solids and doesn't build much on the first coat. For solvent lacquer I scuff sand between every coat, starting with 220 on first/second coats and 320 on final coats. That's a good point though, I will do a video on that and other finishes available and pros/cons. Thanks!

Great info. & details on tips & techniques. Look forward to seeing more videos w/ details on "pivot point" hardware to rotate interior home doors to allow coating both sides on same spray session, Also interested in spraying kitchen cabinet doors & drawers.
This was such a good video I started taking notes. Very good information.
You gained a subscriber. I am on the fence between the Mini-Mite 4 and the Q5 Platinum to paint kitchen and bathroom cabinets, etc. You are highly knowledgeable. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Brian your teaching style is great. Please continue with the videos. I would like to see some lacquer, urethane and other finishes on woodwork if possible. Thank you again.
Brian, wow. This was beyond phenomenal. It’s one thing to be an “expert”, it’s another thing to be an “expert” with your language and communication skills. I have struggled with each of the problems you cover, so to hear- and see- the explanations and solutions presented so clearly will make a huge difference for me. Great job!

This is really informative from start to finish ,thank you .
This is a fantastic video and your presentation is really excellent. I have been spraying water based finished for about 2 years now and I wish I started 10 years ago.. I am a cabinetmaker and I am now starting to consider spraying paint colors on my builtin cabinets at clients houses. I have not found a painter that does a good enough job so I have decided to take it on myself. This video has given me some good information. Subscribed and keep up the great work!
Great video. I appreciate the detailed and considerate instruction provided. Thank you so much!
Just watched your video and now I get it. Struggled with splatter around the fan pattern and orange peel. I'll definitely be putting your tips into practice tomorrow. I have 22 doors to spray in a village hall so have the space to lay them all down. Thank you for explaining it so well. 😊
Really appreciate your work here. Much appreciated Sir! Extremely helpful.

Thanks. I just purchased a fuji 4 stage turbine system. At first I wasn't comfortable thinning Benjamin Moore Advance enough. I was getting a bit of orange peel but it seemed to settle pretty flat. I'm now thinning according to fuji's specs and I'm really getting a fine mist. I'm getting better each time. Definitely a learning curve. Thanks again.

Thanks for this video. I just ordered an Apollo HVLP Precision 5 LE. I currently spray all my cabinets with an airless, but I have a polyurethane cabinet job coming up, and don't want to use an airless, so I figured this would be great time to change my system. This video helped a lot. Thanks again!!
Great Video. I too started of with straight latex in a gun. :) Nothing happened. I did get it, eventually, to work and now researching to get the details. As a home owner I did paint a cars and it was easy. This Latex is different. Good challenge to get it right. Good to hear it is not a perfect world out there and cannot go after it. Thanks you!!

One of the best hvlp videos I've seen
Hey Brian, enjoyed the video. I am doing spray clay bole on picture frames which are then gilded and rubbed a bit to reveal the red bole underneath. this gives a nice antique feel. Your last piece in the video looked like the black spray I use at times instead of the gold. I have a Titan II maxim gun and was trying to run it off a compressor I have in the shop. Much too much orange peel. Now I need to get a different system to get the finish you are getting.
Awesome video! Would love to see a video on your spray booth. Cheers.
Thanks Brian great video lots of useful information

I actually came here to know what is the source of air flow - a running compressor Vs a tank full of compressed air. I did not know anything about that (or perhaps the noise tells me it was a running compressor) BUT .....WoW There was so much to learn in that video! Explained in a very simple friendly manner with many pearls of wisdom on spray painting and preparation. Thanks a lot, Liked and Subscribed.

To me it sounded like a HVLP turbine (high powered central vac motor) rather than a compressor. He shows a Fuji spray gun so likely it is a Fuji HVLP turbine.
