- This video is a review and demo of the ANI F150, Plus HPS Spray Gun, it has a 1.4mm fluid tip and I believe it is one of the best guns in its price range. I will show you the types of materials that you can spray through it and a good overall unbiased review based on my opinion, I'd like to thank SprayGuns Direct for sending it out so that I could review it.

Hey Gunman! Just wanted to give a huge thanks to you. I've been working at a high end restoration shop for the last 4 years, with hopes of always being a painter. long story short I've been the body man the whole time being as there hasn't been any cars for me to learn on that weren't high dollar resto's. After watching your videos for the past few months I got motivated to learn the paint side of things, so i took in a buddies 240x drift car as a side, bought the gti polite, and got to work prepping the body. thanks to your videos i was able to look back and see what gun setting/tips work best for you. Anyways, i just got done spraying the car this weekend and it came out absolutely killer! My friend no longer wants to drift it in fear of scratching it. Just thought id let you know you and your channel really helped. thank you and keep it up!
I'm a diy guy learning your videos are a big help and great information
You have actually inspired me to learn how to paint. I think i have watched all of your videos in just a couple days. Keep up with the good work.
I have this gun. You're right it is the best beginner gun I have bought. Been using it for a year now with no problems.
Is it still working? Do you have problems with orange peel?
thanks for doing this review mate, i bought the gun based on this video and im very happy with it! getting results that im stoked with
Great to hear man, it's definitely a stand out gun for its price bracket.
The Gunman would this gun be perfect for wheels?
I recently bought one of this guns from princess auto in Canada. I have been very happy with the results iv been getting. The gun only cost 250$ Canadian and will be buying some different needles through spray guns direct. Thanks Gunman for the review. Devilbiss aluminum pot works on mine. Has treated me a lot better than the devilbiss starter lines I was using and at this stage in my career has been great.
Thanks for the review was waiting to hear your views on this gun, I mostly do diy jobs, I have the mini R150 and have had some good results with that, been using al cheepo guns and to say the least the finish was looking a bit rough needles to say the seals did not last very long either, I do like a good finish was also pondering the Devilbiss GPI as its versatility would suit my needs 1.8 and 1.3 or 1.4 nozzles Primer base and clear all in one. Thanks once again
Hello GunMan, Rick here from the NW USA,
Just want to tell you how much I appreciate all your hard work and expertise in ALL that goes into your automotive painting, and the production of these vids ! ! !
I have 30+ years of body and paint under my belt so far and still learning, and loving what I do!
Just wanted to ask about the ANI F150, F1, & the other full sized spray gun and what the differences are between them? Thanks GunMan, and keep up the Outstanding work ethics!
Thanks mate, glad to hear my efforts are appreciated, I've only ever used the ANI F150 and R150 mini gun so can only speak for them, they are a good gun with decent transfer efficiency but find they work better under more pressure than any of my other guns up around 40psi, big fan on them and get good finishes, the only real downside is average quality pot but DeVilbiss pots fit on so if you had a spare DeV pot easily fixed or PPS adaptor, that R150 1.2mm mini gun is amazing too.
I just purchased this gun along with the ani r150 mini and another top selling mini gun from ani. I did this based on our review and recommendation. haven't tested them yet but they feel real good in my hand.I'm currently using a 3hp 30 gallon compressor until I can purchase an 80 gallon, I think i'll just put them on the self until then. thanks for the review. wish I could've mentioned you and got a discount
do these guns works well on your 30gal 3hp compressor? what's the cfm/scfm on your compressor?
love the cheap gun reviews, as I don't do cars, I would never spend too much on a gun for backyard projects, as probably no one else would. had a chance to test a satajet in my friend's shop. it is just ridiculous how much paint they get out at low pressures. keep the videos coming please. somebody send this guy a gun! I'll be buying soon :)
love all your reviews I just puchased my Ani from spray guns direct for base coat can't afford the other ones right now but great tips keep up the great work
Thanks for the review , I always look forward to watching your videos .
Thanks for the review Gunman. I have been using this gun and like it for my bases with 1.3 tip. Extremely efficient gun for my humble little shop. I also jumped into using the Pro-Lite for clears and find this system works very well. I was interested to see what you thought of this gun and what you could get out of it. We all should realize the risk you are taking on just to entertain us and our requests on customers cars. I appreciate the efforts!! Highest respect.
Been using ANI mini guns for years ,not had one break down yet so yes ANI make durable guns ,one thing to watch is the air control will get stiff if you soak them ,I can only assume the full size guns suffer that same issue as the basic design is the same
always love it when I see a fresh gunman vid popup, keep up the work br0, love it :)that's a good gun for the price.think id still prefer to invest in the pro lite. ccant wait to see you on the waterbased system, I paint waterbourne, not solvent, so ill be taking a lot more in :D
Excellent review ! Thanks Gunman !
I just got a blackridge spray gun and sprayed 2k direct gloss white on a guard. it worked great I got a top result and plan on respraying an entire Ute with it 👍
Why not. Let us know how you go
Hello Gunman, thank you very much for your dedicated work and all the information you are sharing with us. Love your videos! I would really like to have your opinion on the ANI F150 vs. the Airgunsa AZ3. Both guns are in a similar price range and both are manufactured in Italy. Which one do you think offers the overall better quality?
Best regards,
Phil
F150 1.3mm for colour and clear, AZ3 1.8mm for primer.
Nice review, thanks!
Funny F150 was used to label the Ferrari F1 chassis a season or two ago. Ford went mad and threatened to sue Ferrari and immediately after Ferrari dropped the new chassis name. Ani be careful.
Another great watch , good luck in the new shop.
Great video dude!
mr. gunman ....you are lynx cat for evry spray guns ever
hey gun good luck on the new job I received the gpi Friday it might be a week or so for the demo I have a lot going on at work and home thanks you again and spray guns direct
nice work GM..........Great to know what options I have other than the FLG
great vid as usual.
I just purchased a Devilbiss FLG670 as my first gun.
do you think it will give better results than the ANI 150?
thanks and keep the great reviews and demos coming.
good luck at your new shop. I have been painting cromax pro for about 2 years, much faster then solvent but color matching is a bit different.
Hello, according to your experience, which one would you choose? Airgunsa AZ3 HTE2 AV 1.3 vs ANI F150 / PLUS / S HPS Ugello 1.3 Mm for use of varnishes and finishes
Awesome review, all guns have their pros and cons, just make whatever you have, work for you. Good luck at Surry Hills, looking forward to more ;)
good luck at the new shop mate!
Thanks for the review I have been looking for a gun to buy on a budget thats still going to put out a nice finish I know its not the best be miles away from a cheap gun
nice explanation !!
awesome video as usual Gunny.
Could you please do a video on how to do headlight restoration, especially to do with after wet sanding the lens, clear coating it and your thoughts of the 2k clear in a can?
Thanks mate, you've sold me.
You should do a review on the typical cheap blackridge spray guns from supercheap. I heard the blackridge gravity feed gun was pretty good. its the $90 one.
I've been watching most of you're work, could I use a acrylic clear coat over a base polyurethane paint? I be very thankful if you can help me out mate, thanks again.
hi there gunman so is the new shop closer to where you are living at present if so at least you be able to get up that bit later. love your vids as all ways it's nice to see that you review the cheaper guns as well as the top of the range ones. Have you thought of trying a gun and using different heads on that don't come with them to see if there is a big difference in how thay layout the paint.
Nice to see that you are happy now.
Unfortunately further but I'll most likely move closer if I like the place.
Well good luck in your new place and I hope it works out for you. Your a top guy
Gunman..would using a more expensive clears rather than cheaper give better finish..also if using outside oven to spray does it even matter.
great video as always ...
Great review. I'm really interested in the CRYSTAL FX how do I get a hold of it? I'm in the US.. Should I look on eBay?
Great review!
Killer vid gunny! It's great to see these reviews and you seem happier! Let's paint some shit!! Weeeooo!
I can't wait to hear what you think about the Cromax Pro. I have sprayed a lot of it and I love it. If I can be of any help let me know.
Top vid mate
just ordered a couple of these guns.. (SpraygunsDirect) back in stock now... April 11 2018
And what did you think of it? Happy with the purshase?
it`s better than the Air Gunsa AZ3 HT2? many thanks, all the best!
congrats man.
Could you possibly shine some light on what HPS is? I know it is a technology developed by ANI, but how does it compare to HVLP? is it better at laying material down and what about air consumption? Thanks!
Can the plastic cup be replaced with a stainless steal cup and also big cup? Also, can you spray primers, base, and clear coat with the same gun and cups? Thank you
Hi Gunman from Canada, great review man;
I have a question: my new compressor 20gallons, 5HP can do 7.4CFM @ 40PSI , do you think i could use this spray gun with my compressor? or i do need a bigger compressor for this spray gun.( ANI F150 is stated that needs 7.77CFM @ ?? PSI )
Thank you.
Hey Gunny
On the weight of this review and the success I had with the SGK 600 ( love it for everything but esp sealer) and the Sagola 4600 extreme- I picked up a ANI 150 in 1.2 from SGD-haven't tried it yet but have a question-does your fan control have zero positive stop? (Just keeps spinning ) Mine works to control the fan but cant tell when the fan is at its widest.
Hi there Mr. Gunman, I just recently subscribed to your channel and I found it out so helpful for a beginner like me.. I have painted one car and I'm only using one cheap gun for primer, base and clear.. The only problem I have is orange peel, how can I avoid it?
Gunman , would this be a gun choice for spraying epoxy primer or even the sealer before basecoat with ?
whats psi should be used on this gun..mine seems pretty quite at 2 bar...
I ran mine at 3 bar, it's high but lays it on nice up there :)
Hey there gunman,
I'm from the UK have been following you for a while. Your posts are excellent and appreciated.
This is my first comment and I have a technical question.
I have a 3hp, 14 CFM air compressor.
This compressor delivers 9.6 CFM of free air and has a 21 gal tank, which is not beefy enough to run my HVLP spray gun at 11 CFM. My challenge is that I want to do a complete respray on a medium-sized family car. So I'm thinking I either need to shell out thousands on a monster compressor, or I could possibly purchase a gun that is less demanding on volume and pressure, etc.
I can see that this gun only needs 3.6 CFM @ 2 Bar. Would buying this gun possibly be a good solution if I purchase an additional, full-sized cup?
I'm not expecting a Rolls Royce finish, but European orange peel will do me just fine.
Do you have any comments or suggestions on this, please?
Thanks
What temperature is your ideal spraying temperature for your booth and clear coat?
gunma am your fan I am beginning to work so like you doing all my friend as I would like to have one of these guns q you are painting you can help me?I'm brazilian
I always do my best to help, what's your question?
in canada its 230 at princess AUTO
hello gunman can you please review ANI150 H2 Click & ANI150 Click i need to buy one of them
Hey gunny cromax is slow and funny to work with i played with it and you have to spray it from the outside in i did not like it got to work with PPG Envirobase and love it great water paint. Still have not used water clear they use it alot in the UK but have not seen it it here.Like you said so many times before get out and paint some shit! But first bog that car!
gun man latley I've been experiencing way too much orange peel. I've been matching factory bmw, Mercedes, but the classics I'm struggling to lay it down slick (flat) I spray clear with ws400 evo,hd seems as if my MOJO is off what settings do you recommend for this gun in 65 degree , with hs clear. and do you ever go through times were you loose the MOJO temperarly?
I have a used car shop and we only do panel work about once a month. I was looking for a clear gun but I am not concerned with build quality as we only use it a few times a year. I am only concerned with how flat the clear goes down. I know this all comes down to the air cap. How is the air cap on the ANI F150 compared to the GTI PROlite T110 air cap. I prefer the flattest finish possible as it will also be the most forgiving. I could buy either one, but at the price of the ANI F150 i could replace it once a year. Will the ANI 150 put the clear down better than factory orange peel?
volevo sapere perchè hai usato ugello 1.4 e poi che pressione hai usato per il colore base e il trasparente?
Hello gunman you know how many liters of a minute that gun consumes? What pressure do you put on the varnish? And what tip do you advise me to varnish? I ask because I have a 3cv compressor and 100 liters of deposit and I need a spray gun that does not consume me many Liters per minute because if I lose pressure very fast and I do not stretch the barniz.un greeting I hope the answer is great admirer tuyo.un saludo from spain
hello gunman from italy , including ANI F150 and devilbiss FLG5 that have similar price , which would you recommend for a transparent or glossy finish. thank you
That's a very hard choice, I'll have to leave the decision up to you because it's a draw for me.
thx gunman, for me this is enough. continues so that you're great. forgiveness for the english translate.
ciao from italy
me gustan mucho tus videos mis respetos ..saludos de gdl jal. mexico
hey guys can you use a lvlp setup to paint metalic base coats or is it a hvlp setup job? I'm new to painting and just learning. thanks
If you had $500US to buy a gun kit, what would you get?
250 dollars here in the US. Just checked. Nice gun , thanks for the video enjoyed it.
Hey Gunman!
I had a question, I'm a novice painter and actually bought this gun at my local store based on your recommendation.
I was noticing that the DeVilbiss SGK was roughly in the same price point as this gun. DeVilbiss is much more well known then A.N.I, but you have used both. Is it worth me returning the gun and buying the SGK online? This gun will also be my all arounder (I will be using it for base & clear)
Thank you!!
I'd say the DeVilbiss is only slightly better, the pots are much better though. The ANI seems to work better at higher pressure after using it more than this video so I'd just stick with the SGK if I were you.
Is this hvlp gun? I saw most ani guns are hps which means high pressure?
for bare metal resprays should i use epoxy or etch primer? lots of debates on it and no one gives a straight answer?
thanks and great channel :)
+Stiofan e36 My understanding is that epoxy primer seals and prevents moisture getting to the bare metal, you then surface prime over that for sanding. That etch primer only needs to be used if you already have a moisture proof barrier layer (not sanded back to bare metal), but you need a surface that base or topcoat will key to successfully. There are also zinc phosphate epoxy primers that can be used as a passive barrier over surface rust.
+Craig Overend Thabks so much for clearing that up :)
Hi Gunnie, are you still using the F150, if so how is it holding up after more then 12 months of use, with the drop in the UK pound I'm thinking of getting one.
Yeah man still going strong, I'd probably say the FLG5 is a touch better though.
Thanks mate ill check it out 👍
Hey there Gunny, I just had some time to test the SGK600 (FLG5) by spraying clear over pearl and I love it, Thanks for your recommendation for this gun. :)
Hi Gunnman,there is a spray gun or Ani f150 plus HPS 1.3 suitable for metalic and pearl water basecoat (Ppg envirobase HP) ? Thanks
I've never used them with envirobase but I could just about guarantee they'd work fine. If envirobase is a thick material 1.4 may even be better
Do you know if the F150 super they are selling now are the same as this one?
Looks different on the pictures at spraygunsdirect..
Yet to use mate but should be getting one soon
why is it an toyota yaris sedan at the first picture?
Have you tried ani f160. Plus a 1.3mm 500cc. Im looking for a good spry gun to paint and clear
Got a review coming very soon
how is this gun going ?

hey mate, how much reducer were you putting in your primer for this gun? if you can remember
im doing 15-20% but thinking of mabe thinning it out a bit more
I really can't remember for this job, did I wet on wet prime it or do you mean the sandable high build primer?
The Gunman im using the sandable type
I thinned it out to just over 20% and it seems to be spraying better now, much.smoother
Have you came to barbados before?
Im thinking of getting this gun based on your review and the price is right. Do you still recommend it? Thanks for all the great videos!
Ani F1/N/SUPER-S come sono ottime tu la consigli
que numero de boquilla es? saludos de ecuador
What u think about the Ani F160 plus ?
They're awesome. Just the updated version of this gun
Ok I'm a go for it
would you recommend this over the sgk man?
+Clive Camangon I have been using sgk gun 5 days a week for over three years can beat it for the price .
How many guns do you have ???
Man I have watched all your vids I am a beginning painter. Mainly odds and ends for myself. Currently I am in the process of beginning the paint work on my boat it's 25 foot so a lot of real estate. I have a pro lite and am spraying two part poly. It seems impossible to lay it on without heavy orange peel. The paint is supplied at airless spray viscosity so I am thinning quite a bit. Do you have any advice for me on this thanks
Would this gun be happy with acrylic paints?
I guess if you thinned it enough it'd be fine but I found the 1.6mm I had on my GPI worked a treat for the Acrylic clears I used in that video I made.
+The Gunman My brother did a backyarder Datsun 1600/510 engine bay spray successfully with Wattyl Super-cryl acrylic and a 1.4mm with plenty of thinners. He preferred it over the 2-pack he painted his other rally car with the same gun.
Didn't know ford made spray guns. next f250. lol😊
thats an air adusting valve not an regulator.
do you still like this gun and can i do a hood with it?
+Nic Mezinis it's a good gun and yes you can do a hood
Hi,just seen the vid & very interested in the gun. I tried spraygunsdirect.com to no avail. I want to buy one like ASAP. Where else can I buy
nice but like they say.. once you go devilbbis,never go back!!! hehehe Flg 4 life on base!!!
Is it wasteful of paint boss ???
It's actually pretty good
@@TheGunmanChannel oww ... are you having nossel a 1.0 or 1.2 number for ani f150 hps plus for you to sell ,,, boss ... ??? I need ,,,, it is hard to find in online stores,,,,
my greetings from (bone, makassar, sulsel, indonesia)

Hey there Gunman, just wanted to say thank you for all of the hard work you put in creating these great videos in both of your channels. I am in the middle of spraying my first paint job, redoing my truck and I cant tell you how much you have helped me get my confidence up. My first test panel came out better than I expected, all cause of you man: czcams.com/video/aApnXgbLIQI/video.html
Keep up the great work, Ill be watching.
