For DIYers you prove the old adage “A fool with a tool, is still a fool”. It doesn’t take expensive tools to get good results. It’s more about process and technique and less about costly compressors or spray guns. Thanks for the informative videos.

I bought that CH gun for spraying my trucks roof. Glad to see it in action, and I'll keep an eye out for leaks too! Thanks!

Gonna start using high solids clear when I paint but gonna still use the Starfire base but the 5 Star Etreme high solids clear with fast activator and reducer I know got orange peel when using the Paint For Cars auto paint but I was spraying my coats starting off too wet instead of starting slightly wet on first coat and a little bit wetter on every other coat was looking at the guy that does Speedkote videos when painting and saw how he was spraying and he started off with lighter mist coat not too wet like I did but I have to pay more attention to instructions on paint too it does say on the Starfire basecoat the metallic base to sand with 400 on vehicle before painting. I got a Nason flat black sealer last summer so would be using that still as a 2k sealer but the difference would be high solids clear which never sprayed before yet.

Jerry, Always enjoy your vids. Keep them coming

[MATTYANDSMOKE]

You always give professional advice for the average joe to apply in his shop. Awesome 📹 as always

What do you think of nason products and prices?

Have a different spray gun gonna use now never used it before the Ronpeng professional lvlp spray gun got it on Ali Express 3 of them a 1.3, 1.4 and 1.7. Plan on getting 4x8 wood boards to insulate the sealing of garage so can have it warmer so can paint when it's cold in Michigan like it has been now today was in 50's though. Isn't cold as used to be because of the global warming over the years though. I have bought some other stuff too like this sandblaster water attachment hose and other stuff that got lately but cold for painting now unless had garage heater don't want my paint freezing when I paint even though have a infrared 1500 watt heater now too.

Another great video Jerry and you gave some good tips for the leaking caps!

I use the elastic top off an old sock to catch the drips

I wouldn’t stop in the middle as you paint. Sweet left to right and right to left going all the way off the body panel with a 50% overlap. I would also slow down just a bit.

[RedEnginr]

Very nice video. While I get that you're demonstrating technique, it would be nice to know some info about the gun, and your opinion of the results. For example, what were your spray settings? Turns on the flow and pressure knobs? Supply pressure, and if using a local regulator, what did you knock it down too?

Hey bud! Please help me with something.. the reducer you used in your nason clear.. do you have a part number or what reducer should I use in my nason XL clear? Thank you sooo much!!! Subscribed!

[CA-pvie]

Thanks Jerry - such great finish, no orange peel at all! I just can't seem to get my paint to lay that flat - getting sick of always having to wet sand and buff to get it to look like that. :/

How does the nason paint spray.Does it hold up long term. what is your favorite cheap paint to use.

[andrewbrown]

Jerry, I’m painting replacement fenders and an existing hood. After I spray sandable primer, can I go straight to base coat then to clear coat? In this video you apply a sealer coat over the primer. What does that do and do you recommend that layer prior to base coat? Love your content.

[ChipsAndSparksGarage]

Great results, with an inexpensive gun. 👍

[oldschoolcars]

So, after you wipe with wax and grease remover you the apply grease from your hand while blowing? Help me understand this will ya?

[lcar]

Great video - love the color! Bummer about the drip but you made a great recovery. I think I will get some wrist bands, that tip by @Dyna is a good one - it pays to read the comments!
