After watching your first review I purchased two of the $15 guns to use at my brother's house. I sprayed all of the cabinets and wood work with oil based paint and it went on really well. The tricks that I learned was that the paint had to be thin like milk and to use a high capacity air compressor. He had a 20 gallon one and I had to wait a long time for it to catch up with me. We got mine (designed to heep up with several framing nail guns) and never had a problem with atomization.

Brian, many, many thanks for these tips. I caught the purple paint gun on sale at HF for $9.99. I couldn’t pass it up. So, I followed your instructions and I got it about as good as it could be. I painted base coats and clear and it came out great. I did the job half way outside with some wind and lots of pollen. But all things considered, I’m happy. Again, many thanks for the tips!

Mr. Brian.
I painted my PT Cruiser after my wife wrecked it. I used salvaged parts. It is cool vanilla. Cover passes were 70% over lap. Wow it looks great for a 58 year old man. Shiny and smooth sir. Just like you said it would be. Wish I could send pictures! So proud of the PT Cruiser paint job. Just Remember you are the MAN SIR.
P.S. I used a $75.00 Harbor freight paint gun. Oh man I so happy.

Thanks again for another great video! Brian has got to be the best teacher for this !

Question, using a hardener designed for warmer temps will slow down the drying time, correct? Temp 75f using hardener for 85f will give longer flash time?

[Davidshomeworkshop]

Great content as always. Two things I'd like to see, what do you do with the paint gun while the paints flashing and what do you look for to determine the gun is deteriorating. I noticed it was hanging when you picked it back up, does it just hangout while the paint flashes. Would love to learn more. Keep the videos coming.

Brian after taking a few years off from paint and body I bought two of those guns one for clear and other for base and single stage. Now iam back in the game upgraded to devilbiss also working in a body shop full time love what I do..

Thanks for sharing this video!!! Awesome!!!!
Can I use these guns to paint upwards. From underneath a project??

[piotrpix]

Hey, I got an idea for you. Since you have provided a lot of content of how to paint, then how about creating a material on budget paint colors? The paint costs a bit so it would be cool if you could do a comparison of the same color painted using 1) cheapest on the market 2) medium 3) expensive 4) most efficient bang for the buck. I think you can do the same for the primer, clear coats, hardener and reducer.

if i could just learn to spray like you!! that is really good man!!

[zZZSPARKZZz]

Wow amazing it's about the person as well as the gun!

[hallmark]

I bought a harbor freight airless sprayer. Very happy with it..

[scottphillips]

I'm a visual learner, it would have helped me understand your spray pattern if I could have first look at you shoot it on a piece of paper. Don't you usually spray it on a piece of paper before you try it on the panel?
