I would like to buy my own spray gun and do my frame myself as a local company have completely messed it up. Can you recommend a spray gun that I will be able to apply all coats with?
Please find some in the video description.
Santa rp is great but pricy, Devilbis is great quality and cheaper. Devilbis are maybe a better choice for a beginners, due to easy cleaning, maintenance and troubleshooting.

Just a quick thank you for a very informative video. I'm usually very careful about researching new things I do but I quite stupidly didn't research set up of a spray gun when using my own new one for first time just figured would be fairly fill it and go and made a bit of a mess of my first coats of top coat on a machine restoration in doing, watched your vid evening after mess up. Went into Workshop next day with your info in head and got gun set up spot on and have managed to rescue the paint finish on my machine. Big thanks 😊🙏
By far the best explanation I've seen - very clear and easy to understand - thanks so much for doing this.
Martin made all these guns dirty, and he will spend time cleaning them again just to show us how it's done right. What an educator! I've never spent so much time on a channel. Big love. ✌
Yes, I'm almost a pro painter!
Jajaja, just kidding, but this is the best explanation of spray gun setting I've seen so far.
Thanks Martin 👍🏽
Awesome info I just purchased my first spray gun and have been playing with my airbrush. Thanks for all the set up tips and painting tricks. I just did my dh mtb because you inspired me. 2k clear is a game changer. Great channel can’t wait to watch more of these quality video’s
Thanks you very much, very clear snd complete explanations.
Really useful and interesting mate, thanks!
King of the sprey guns :) you are realy a master.
I have a set of cheap Harbor Freight guns and they worked well for my last project that I used them on, but I thought I was using a lot of paint and now I know why that is. I probably had the fluid tip open way too far and was wasting color and had my fan too wide so I was painting the open air almost as much as the project. This was a great video thanks. Danka from America.
The best instructional talk on hvlp and lvlp 🎉 well do sir 👍 👏 👌
Hey ETOE thx for making this video , I'm new to using spray guns and this helped me understand , 👍👍 for you
Great information. Thank you very much
Thank you very much for this information!
Excellent information! Thanks! I’ve been painting for years too, but still learned something!
Very welcome!
honestly the best of many many vids i have watched. Thank you and wish me luck 😂
you are a painting genius, an artist. BRAZIL!
thanks this is quite helpful.
You are such a great teacher I am biggest fan of you and I also started custom paint on my bicycle soon will complete .. but with small chargeable airbrush 🤪
Very clear, thank you, danke sehr!
And you answer all the questions in one video. True German efficiency. 😉👍
Thank you, you describe the setup really well.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent! Very clear.
Priceless advice!
e-to-e
oh man!
for the longest time, I've been reading it as e-toe!
e to e, end to end? makes so much more sense!
Thanks for sharing the helpful advice :)
Very easy to understand when listen to pro. Thank you.
You are welcome.
Excellent! thank you very much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very interesting video!
U have just made me a pro with this video
Good tips ETOE
So many guns! I want your set up
Thank U.
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks Martin. Just going out to check my compressor, see if can handle a mini spray gun.
I bought a gun and a compressor last year and painted the top of my car. It came out OK but definitely not professional. Today I did the roof on my other car after setting up the gun properly as you described. Wow! It came out really good!! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!!
You are welcome.
Did you use a hvlp gun or a lvlp gun?
Thank you so much for explain this so easy to understand. Often, so much empirical "paniters" doesn´t really knows how to adjunst its spray guns. You should make a video showing us the rigth way to prepare the paint, how to know the right viscosity... Once more, thank you
Danke!
thank you! I want to repaint my car but I didnt know anything about spray guns!
Thanks!
Thanks a lot. Helps to do more videos.
I view your vlogs often and find your work very good. What I noticed with this vlogs was the ommision of needle size(s) that you've often made reference to in your other vlogs. How important are needle sizes and what are their characteristics?
Super informative thanks for the video! I just a a quick question as I am looking at getting into custom painting bike frames, what would be the best option to get first, a paint gun or an airbrush? Thanks!
intéressant merci
In other DIY spray can video you do, you wet sand 800G between clear coats also you have previously used 2k clears over Montana paints. Is 2k clear for acrylic base coats? Or is it only certain ones? Also is the to wet sand between clear coats always needed either DIY OR PRO and why? Also can you make some DIY Videos on spraying custom components eg CRANKS, Stems, seat posts, hubs and fixing bolts for these pieces eg silver bolts to black or eg a black seatpost that is all scratched how to do a blended/ repair/ refurbished paint finish all at the same tim making sure to discuss how to make the end product paint as factory durable for the particular parts as the tend to cop the most abuse when riding! Martin you simply are the greatest CZcamsr and the world’s greatest custom painter THANK YOU KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK
thx ETOE :)
Awesome. Just the info I needed. Out of interest, what guns are you using?
When spraying clear coat is it difficult to see,on a bike frame, the coverage when spraying a "dot" pattern?
Vollkommen nützlich, vielen Dank
Mantap.. (Indonesia)
I found tons of options of LVLP SPRAY GUN Gravity in eBay, could you please suggest what could be a good option to select ?
what are your thoughts on using a vinyl wrap to color a bike frame !
Thanks for the video!
I want to know if lph80 (mini spray gun) can spray all kind of materials, including primer.
Maybe I'm wrong, but you use supernova gun for primer and lph80 for the other steps...
Can I use lph80 for spray all painting steps with high quality?
Can you answer with this question? Thanks in advance.
can you explain more the other end of the gun? what do you need? a compressor and oxygen?
Very informative as I’m in the process of looking at buying my first compressor and spray gun (once lockdown is over), thanks for sharing this info 👍🏼 One more question, will a 50l compressor be sufficient to spray paint bicycles frames or should I go for a 100l unit?
You need min 350l/min to run spray guns.
ETOE okay thanks, so I’m way off the mark, I’m needing something much bigger in terms of tank volume even though I’ll only be doing bikes 👍🏼
Hi Martin,
Love your videos and work so much that I even start eveningschool where you learn to paint so that I can make I hope nice paint work.
I have a question what is the best degreaser for bike painting? And if you make your own spray booth with a spray wall in your garage where I have to keep attention to so that it's a good working DIY paint booth?
Kind regards
Jürgen

Which gun do you use for spraying helmet?
The links are for HVLP. Which LVLP guns do you recommend for a good beginner gun?
Fantastic but i would also want to know how to set up my spray gun
I just bought a Sealey HVLP741 with a 1.3mm nozzle. I just can't get enough paint to come out of it. More thinners? I am only painting some under body brackets and wheel arches, nothing complicated.
Which nozzle works better for bicycle frame paint jobs? Thanks! I love your vids
Please watch this video for HVLP bike paint: czcams.com/video/Q4L3Kamiti8/video.html
So lvlp guns are better for painting helmets..??
Very helpful in buying my 1st spray gun.
Any info on a metal or plastic bucket, metal or paper paint filters and cleaning please?
In this video I show how I clean my spray guns: czcams.com/video/_-v8vAsH6Y4/video.html
Hi Martin can you make a video on which spray can nozzles to use for custom paint a bicycle frame
I use the ones provided with the spray cans. That's all I can say about that.
Sehr informativ, wenn es so etwas noch in Deutsch gäbe wäre das klasse.
hi martin i have a gun SATA Jet RP. but . the pruser for this gun 3 bar or 2 bar ? i dont know
Ask SATA they can tell you. I sold all my SATA stuff because I don`t like the quality.
Yes, German efficiency and to the grain.
Why are there different needle/tips sizes when one can control the fluid volume via the gun controls? Can a 1.8mm tip spray like a 1.0mm tip but not the other way around?
To spray different materials.
Hi man what size of air hose do you recommend for anest iwata supernova or hvlp gun?
I use an 3/8 air hose like this: amzn.to/3mCwor9 disclaimer: This text contains affiliate links, which means that if you click on one of the product links, I’ll receive a small commission. You have no extra cost using these links.
What about paint quantities? You mentiones 100-150 for a bike, is that per coat? It would be cool to do a videos on quantities for a car, a motorbike tank, a bicycle, etc. So we know how much paint to buy.
seria fantastico que nos ensears tu estudio de pintura y tu local de trabajo unto todas las herramientas y utiles necesarios para montar un lugar de trabajo optimo como el tuyo seria estupendo
prueba a preguntar en alemán... o inglés.
Hello, what do you add just prior to the gun? No last filter or desiccant? What’s on end of line? Quick disconnect-filter-regulator-gun?
Active charcoal filter for 300$
Sorry Martin I forgot about your comments about nozzles in the monster DIY video. Thanks
Super Video, wie immer! Vielen Dank für die super Tipps. Welche guns nutzt du eigentlich? Und viel wichtiger gibt's eine bevorzugte Needle/Nozzle Combo von dir? Gun ist ja das eine, aber welche Nadel und welche Düse nutzt man am besten für Bike parts?
Wäre bestimmt ein eigenes Video wert über gute Guns zu sprechen (profi sowie bezahlbare Variante) sowie die richtige N/N Combo.
Glaube nicht dass jemand solche Videos anschaut und ich kann es mir nicht leisten weiter solche Videos zu machen. Sieht man ja an diesem dass das keinen interessiert.
Das ist schade, aber völlig nachvollziehbar! Ich wünsche dir weiterhin viel Erfolg! Gräme dich nicht wenn mal ein Video kein Hit wird. Ich wünsche dir eine prima Auftragslage in dieser verrückten Zeit und auch in Zukunft. Gruß von der Ostsee.
I've been watching a lot of painting videos. I've been looking for these hvlp guns, since basically it is used 9 times out of 10. But then I found that for example this "custom z warrior" channel used RP gun with some clear coats and explained it would be the best for clears. So, is there any big difference for beginner/intermediate worker for lets say 1 gun and it would have to do all jobs? Just wondering. And what would be the difference between HVLP vs RP guns..
HVLP is high volume low pressure. RP is reduced pressure. Both have approx 65% transfer efficiency. RP needs more air approx 290L/min. HVLP only 170L/min. I love the LVLP with a split nozzle for clear aplication.
@@ETOE Cheers! Gonna look and read about those too. Keep doing great videos!
@@ETOE Hey Martin which size of nozzle would you recommend? Does it make sense to get more than one size?
what type of paint/ and brand paint do you use? for bicycles?
Supermeme brand
On tip I have never seen mentioned somewhere is the size of the orifice in the nozzle.
What is the right size for car painting? 0.8mm - 1.2mm - 2mm ?
Primers between 1.4 to 2.0, base color 1.0 to 1.2 clear 1.2 to 1.4 depending on preferences. Touch up 0.5 to 1.0 depending on preferences.
@@ETOE Thank you for sharing your experience :)
Would have liked it if you showed how much pressure was lost in the airhose by opening the valve under gun completely.
Not more than the pressure of a good chilli fart. 🌶
Im sure you already mentioned somewhere, but what ETOE means ? Just curious...
I think it is End To End
Make a video how to clean a spray gun?
You should get sata 4400 minijet
Surely not! All my minijets died after 3-4 years. The Iwatas run 10 years without any issues. Sata is crap since they changed production in the 2000nds
Hi! I need name your camera! Thanks!
I call her Betzie.
what size nozzle do you have in your mini gun? Thanks :)
0,4; 0,6; 0,8; 1,0; 1,2 depends on what I spray.
true or false : LVLP is for experts and HVLP is for begginners ?
Cans are for beginners. Spray guns are for pros.
@@ETOE Can you clarify something? You say you use LVLP guns because the lower volume of air creates less atomization. Yet, all of the guns you recommended in the links below are HVLP. Thank you, and I love your videos! You're doing amazing work!
@@ericwilliams8945 just buy my choice of spray gun in the link below these are LVLP. amzn.to/3ei7lFu
@@ETOE That settles it, I was overthinking the matter! Thank you!
bro you never say what direction to turn the cheater valve to attain WIDE OPEN, nor does anyone on the iternet, they all say leave it wide open and move on, well what direction is wide open, NOBODY KNOWS
Just turn until no air runs through the spray gun. It`s full closed. Turn the opposite way it`s full open.
Sorry Brother, But I’m only 2 minutes in and I’ve heard some HORRIBLE ADVICE!!! You say you can’t spray overhead, or that you need a “bottom feed” gun???
WRONG!!!!!
The 3m PPS cup system is absolutely Wonderful for correcting that problem, and is what most ALL Professional shops & painters use these days!!! You basically put the cup on, turn it upside down and allow it to suck the air out, Then you are good to spray overhead as much as you want and you won’t get a DROP ON YOU!!!
