- Hi Everyone! Thank you for all of your support on all of my videos. I know it's been a while since I've posted a video, so I hope you all enjoy this one.
Don't forget to like, comment, subscribe and share this video so that others can learn that these jobs can be done with a Fuji Mini Mite 5!
Nice job! I just started using the Q5 for mobile bumper repairs recently. After 24 years I finally found the cure for contaminated air and lack of air. Wish I would have done it long ago! BTW, you don't need the check valve with PPS. Have a great day!
Thanks for your comment.
Very nice job. I came across your page, and I bought the Q5 Platinum.
Thanks for the comment. And I think you made a good choice by buy the Q5. All the best in your painting experience.
I enjoy seeing turbine sysytem used for automotive spraying👍 My Apollo turbine should arrive Sat. and i'm excited to test it out!
any reason why apollo over fuji?
@@suspensefulness got a good deal on a unit off Ebay. I have both the fuji gun and Apollo.
Imagine if Nikola Tesla or Wright brothers gave up every time someone told them it cant be done, where would we be today.
That is a beautiful finish my friend, I truly enjoyed watching that, thanks for sharing.
I am thinking that substrate is much better for wetting and keeping the dust down than plain concrete floor.
Thanks for your comment my friend. It really encourages me to keep on doing what I do when I hear positive comments like yours. Thanks again.
I like that your spray booth that’s what I need!
Love your vids keep the coming especially a full paint job of a whole vehicle be very interesting!
Thanks for your comment. I actually did paint a whole car last year that I unfortunately did not record it. But for next project for sure I will. It did turn out good though. I have pictures to prove it I just don’t know how I can upload them for people to see them.
Outstanding job 🙏💯👍🇺🇸😊
Would be interesting in seeing the prep work as well as the painting with the turbine gun 💯👍🇺🇸🙏 pleaseeeee!
I’ll do my best to show the prep work next time around. Thanks for watching.
Nice work as always
Thanks for your comment.
I like how creative you are do you get solvent pop with turbines
No I haven’t. But if you do just thin your clear by 5%
Looks awesome my friend!
Thanks for your comment.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Great job!!, I would like to see a video on a side (vertical) panel.
Thanks for your comment. Well, I have done a complete vehicle before. However I will be doing an Acura soon. Stay tuned for that one.
any reason why u chose fuji over the apollo system ,im trying to decide.
hello first of all great job thank you for sharing these explanatory videos. I would like to know the type of light that you put in your cabin, which model is it please? 🙏
Thanks for your comment. The type of lights are LED lights that I found at PRINCESS AUTO. I don’t have the part number with me now. But I’m sure you can find them.
Thanks for posting this. I just started spraying my '76 Corvette with my Fuji Q5.
Can you state again your gun settings for both base and clear? Fan and fluid (how many turns from closed)?
Thanks!
Thanks for your comment.
My settings always vary depending on what I’m really spraying. But typically when spraying base coats i use a 1.3 needle set, and I turn the feed nob one full turn. For primers you might want to open it more due to the vicinity of it. When spraying Clear coats I usually use 1.0 or 0.8 at the needle and i turn the feed nob 1 1/2 turn to two full turns. This set up has always worked for me. Hope this helps you. And please do show us the results of your project when finished. Cheers!!!
@@quickfinishsolution2483 Thanks for the info.
The last few days I've been spraying Eastwood's epoxy primer. I've used my 1.3 tip and did not reduce the epoxy.
I got a really good finish and almost no orange peel when I sprayed with the fan almost wide open and the fluid 1.5-2 turns open.
However, if I try to spray with the fluid wide open, I get large droplets and orange peel.
Is the fuji capable of spraying any materials with the fluid set wide open? Or, do you need to keep the fluid closed down to ensure proper atomization?
The epoxy is the only thing I've sprayed so far. Next will be 2k urethane primer, but I'm nervous about how that will spray.
If you are getting large droplets, then you need to thin your material more. But make sure you leave your fan pattern all the way open. Do a test before you actually spray your part and go as you think your spray is consistent.
Yup, kinda of tight on room on the sides to get access to work or paint on the sides !
Not impossible. I actually did paint a car last year that I did not video recorded unfortunately. It was a Honda Civic. And that it’s why I was able to do it being that it was a small vehicle.
Looks great it just gives me more confidence to use my Minimite 5 for my truck project , Which kind of reducer do you recommend ?
Thanks for your comment. I always use slow or medium reducer. Even in cold weather. I hope your truck project turns out good.
@@quickfinishsolution2483 , Thanks 👍
Did you get any orange peel? You didn’t mention if you did a cut and buff on it. Just curious since I’m about to pull the trigger on buying this Fuji system.
No I did not get any orange peel. This is the highlight of using this equipment. If you know how to use it you shouldn’t get any orange peel. Nevertheless you do have to occasionally buff it due to some dirt here and there. But on this project I did not have to.
Are you having problems with leaking with your Fuji and stock cup or PPS converter system? I had a lot of issues with small drips throughout. everything new, new liners, etc. The stock cup lip is pretty minimal for locking. but the PPS 2.0 with adapter system leaked just as bad from cup lid. I've basically covered with plastic wrap and tape to stop ruining my hoods and roofs. I'm noticing you're using the stock cup hose with the PPS cup? any reasons why? thanks
Hi there,
Sorry for the late reply. But I think if your system is leaking is because it’s not fully tightened. Maybe put some Teflon tape on it. That might help. And if you’re talking about your pps cap that locks onto the adapter it maybe because you have the wrong caps for the adapter. Check with your paint provider.
Have you ever used any tamco clears with the turbine with good results. If so which ones?
No I haven’t use that one yet.
nice job, i want to try a fuji spray system now. do you use 1.3 for primer too?
Thanks for your comment. Yes I do use 1.3 for primer as well.
Nice!! What air flow speed do you run the mini mite 5 at?
if it has air control..
The air flow it’s set at 9psi and I keep it open all the way.
Which paint cup are you using for your gun? Anything special or a generic? Thanks!
I use the PPS SYSTEM
Series 2.0 spray gun system kit
@@quickfinishsolution2483 appreciate it! Just ordered it!
which clear did you use?
I used FInished 1
FC740Q
It’s a 4:1 part.
What size tip are you using?
1.3 for base and 1.0- 0.8 for clear
@@quickfinishsolution2483 would you recommend the 1.3 for metallic base?
I would definitely recommend it. I use it all the time with or without metallics. Never had an issue.
