Great work!
Another excellent refinish and lots of good tips, thanks Brian. Milton V fittings are massive. I've been using them for several years and they make a difference in everything air related (not just painting).
Awesome job sir. Wouldn’t expect anything less than that from you. Guns look well built. Good solid pattern as well.
I'm retired now, but I'll still check in with you, just to make sure you're not preaching any mistakes, LOL. FYI, a thing I used to do for making sure my overlap was 75 to 85% was to count my strokes. I counted yours on the left side of the bonnet and you were right at 21 for the half. The fender I couldn't count, but the LFD was right at 20-21 strokes. For that size vehicle, and in most cases these days, that looked like an average size SUV, the number of strokes was spot on. You're the man Brian, and I just want you to know, B4 retiring I spent the last year recommending your You Tube channel to literally dozens of Ohio painters and wanna be painters. Keep up the good work, I'd have you as my wing man any day.

Hey how did you do Im planning on painting my vehicle ( shadow grey metallic) but i have never painted a car.
Fantastic as always- I'm in the DIY price bracket but great to see the master at work with any gun
this is crazy timing because i just found out about these guns and was messaging them with a bunch of questions. this is awesome timing
Great job Brian, i know you don't usually like to walk the whole side.. but you look a confident Jon Kosmoski and the job came out beautiful! This spray gun setup looks really nice brother! 👏👏👏😊
Brian, Thanks so much for putting out these videos. I've been watching a ton of your videos in preperation to spray my motorcycle. As a total beginner I've learned a ton of valuable information and techniques . One thing I would love to see is some videos on painting smaller more intricate parts. Especially a Harley Davidson inner fairing. I've been struggling a lot with this project trying to get paint into all the tight corners and gauge bezels. Can't find any good videos out there. Thanks John
Very good job, me and my dad just got doing blending KAD grey metalic for the first time painting and it didn't turn out so good but we finished it. We now appreciate car painters and how hard it is especially metalic paint
Brian thank you for all the tips. I'm a beginner, and I like the way you always have videos for guys like me. Subscriber for life!!
Interesting. I'm good w the guns but I can see the light as a helpful tool. I remember back in the day working in a terrible booth where i would shoot metallics with the lights off and the old 3m sun gun. Never tried it but could see the light being helpful to a begginer or novice on white vertical panels where it's easy to get snow blind. Cool vid.
cool… the gun layed really nice. im wondering how it goes head to head with dv1 base. i hope you make video bout this. thanks
The difference between Milton "M" and "V" couplings is huge! I switched my whole shop to the "V" (or Hi-Flow) type. The "V" chucks will also accept an "M" coupling if you don't want to change everything at once. They're a little wobbly when you do that, but 90% fine.
@theevilbeard

Indeed. If you want something a little nicer you can pick up the Prevost fittings, where the coupler is plastic coated so you don't accidentally bang a panel. Don't ruin a job with regular fittings! Air velocity matters!
Always good content
I changed my complete air system to 1/2” ID separator , filter and hose then use 3/8 high flow couplings at the gun made a huge difference!
Great lesson as always.

Great Job Bro!!
Very nice guns. Made by Meiji Japan. I have the Meiji version Finer Core 13. Would love to try it in 1.5. Top notch build quality.

My last job was dx blue I ended up with 80% overlap sometimes more or less.and some guns might like more or less pressure and distance practice on a old fender.once you get it down stick with the same technique
Very informative, thanks Brian.
Why did you change your technique with this gun? Is it harder to spray slower?
I myself at age 11-13 started helping my neighbors and uncle paint & body work. Now I'm 41 , and always wondered why the metallic pastel color has a weird smell? Especially green bluesh turquoise peach purple and pinkish colors, all pastels. ?
Never heard of this brand. How does thgiw hin compare with comparable spray guns from the IWATA, Sagola, DeVillbiss etc..?? So the optimized pressure version is based on HTE, so can be used with smaller or lower psi compressors?

Performs equal to or better in our opinion. We recommend PSI settings of 18-23🤝
@btbd2785
Жыл бұрын
@Lumaiii, Inc - Innovative Refinishing Tools My question was, is your optimized pressure version run on lower psi like what you can with an HTE gun. 18-23psi are WHAT HVLP guns would run at. HTE typically runs at a much lower psi like 9-12 some even lower. That's why I was asking if your spray guns can work at lower psi.

Hey, nice job on the Acura as always. How did the clear look in the end with the 1.5?
Hi Brian. you recommend exta slow reducer, how about hardener? Is it extra slow hardener also recommennded?

Me personally I use slow everything.
I’ve spent the past few years building a chevelle and it was so so so much welding, metal work, body work, blocking until my hands bleed, and I’m finally like 8 working hours from being ready to paint and I’m scared as hell to mess it up I haven’t painted in years
Awesome job
Do you use a filter in the gun with the base metallic?
Regulacion base bar’s?
Mr. Bryan, good good videos from you as always. I want to ask a question or you can try it on your next video. Can you add a drop of your paint to the clear, and apply it on the painted car?
Great looking paint job! I still need to get my BMW Z4 painted. Ugh.
Very good job
What reducer would work for cooler like 55?
Another great video. Any chance you can provide advice on compressors for the home diy, rather than just gun reviews?
A few errors I see, but the end results are very good. Looks like everybody is different :) - Mixing black into the gun - I would never think that would be allowed, but again, it seems to be working - Plastic sheet around where you paint. I often get flakes sticking into the paint when I remove them, so it was always paper for me. And not just a 5cm, like that yellow tape, but a lot wider. Or maybe paint sticks to these sheets better? Especially at 18:18, the whole sheet seems to be sticking into the paint. It's dry, but I'm sure it's not that dry the following day. Or you waited days to remove the sheets? - Starting the base from the bottom - is the colour matching after this? At the Autocolor course, they teach you need to start from the top, and lay down a half coat from a distance at the end, that will bring up the metallic. Especially important with mica and some metallic colours, otherwise it will be flat, and darker. - Clearcoat air and fluid on max? Eh, how is it not getting orange peel then? Or maybe it's a very good gun.

The plastic is treated not to flake Paint from the bottom up in this case and finish the blend at the top. Less overspray.

- As long as the pot you add the colour to is all the colour you have for a full coat, it's fine! (If you had to top up the pot with more colour, it'd be hard rematch more black again). - Good quality plastic has static on one side to stop the paint flaking off all over your job when you unmask. There is a specific side you need to spray. The wrong side will leaves flakes. Being in that booth, he would have baked it and the paint is well and truly dry enough to be touched. Any tape is fine, comes down to preference. - Everybody has a different preference, as long as you paint your colour match spray out card the same way, you'll get the same result. You can see in person if it's sitting correctly on the panel compared to the blended area. - Base coat doesn't really have any build so you don't get orange peel from it. With clear, everyone has their own sweet spot. On my DeVilbiss I have my fluid 2.5 turns out and air around 2 bar. It also depends on the speed of the hardener and thinner used and temp in the booth. Get as slow hardener/thinner as possible to give it time to flow, but not run. There's a sweet spot and the peel will be at a minimum.
good job sir
I don’t see the spray gun on your Amazon site. I’m guess the clear was your 2nd coat since it was heavy. What volume of clear did you use. ❓❓❓❓
Always great content. But where do we garage painters get pro level paint from. All you pros have paint systems from companies like Akzo. I have used Duplicolor Paint shop Lacquer which is not bad, but limited color range. Cheers
can I use a cheap gun to get decent results with a metallic base/clear paint job ? what tip is good for the base and what tip for the clear ? (This is on a complete restoration)

Hi Brian quick question...Does mixing some slow reducer into the clear coat to help it flow and lay down smoother ( 5 to 10%) doing so does it damage or ruin the Clearcoat in the long run? Does it shorten the lifetime of that clearcoat?

Another Great video, Brian! I have a question for you. I've got a 2002 F250 and the paint looks ok for the most part, but there are areas where the clear coat is starting to flake off. I would like to repaint it (same color) but as I'm on SS, it's gonna be a FYI home job. What would you do about the clear coat? Can I just sand and blend in the flaked areas, or how far should I go with removing the clear to prepare it. I know the key word is preparation, preparation, preparation, to get a great final finish. But I'm just not sure how far I need to go to make sure that the old paint doesn't cause problems once I get the new paint applied?

You can 180 all the old paint. Then 320 sand. Then 2k surfacer primer and you should be fine to sand that with 400-600 before paint
A great gun, but it's nothing more than a copy of the Japanese Meiji Finer-Core gun .This is a company with a very long tradition I use one of them, perfect atomization and a lot of material savings on the HVLP head. Regards from Scotland UK
for a pro would you choose the DV1 or this one?

Hey Brian - thought I'd done a good job following good practice but a part of my metallic after clear looks a bit crazed and webbed as though it's broken up a bit and not smooth. Any ideas why? (I know it's difficult not seeing a pic but can't see an email on you home page.) It is winter here in New Zealand so wondered if it may have been too cold - 59 F - and the clear has reacted with the base which was cured and looked fine prior to clear. Thanks if you can help.
