Hey thanks for your comment. I’m just waiting for a complete car to be painted. As for more content I will be showing more for sure in the near future.
I am trying to do several very similar projects with the Fugi MM5. You discussed BASE coat with 1.4 tip and 3/4-1 full turn. You mentioned you drop down to the .8 tip for clear coat but what are your other settings. And do you leave the valve on the main hose wide open? Thanks again for sharing your skill and knowledge.
Hello. I have a mini mite 3 platinum with a t70 gun. I need to paint a new replacement bumper but I have never done this before. I am hearing in the comments you recommend 1.3 tip for primer and base and the 1.0 for clear. Sound right? Also, will the 3 stage system be enough for this job compared to the 5 you have? I am nervous for my first time and I appreciate you answering my questions and any other tips you can provide would be super helpful and appreciated. I enjoy your videos!
Hey thanks for the comment in liking my videos. And yes, 1.3 for primer and base. 1.0 for clear. I never used a stage 3 before. However as long as you get 9 psi at the tip you should be ok. That’s what i get with mine. I would also recommend doing a test pattern with your clear first and see if you’re satisfied with the results. If so i would just carry on with the rest of the project. Hope this helps. Let me know how it turns out.
Thanks for your comment. I’ve been painting for some time now 20years or so. From Yacht painting to car and furniture painting. Including house as well.
How do u achieve to make it lay wet without crazy orangepeel? Running a 4 stage with graci edge 2 plus with .8 needleset and my sealer came out terrible! Idk if its my gun settings or too far away or too close? I believe u mentioned in other comment to crank the air wide open? I believe my machine is pushing 8.5 psi! And Should i shorten my fan too? I just get dry spray and orange peel! Still playing with it on test panel here. Last car i sprayed with it came out great but forgot what settings i had etc .. been some years thanks buddy
Looks great, I couldnt see any orange peel in the middle of the hood on my screen. I dont get the sanding part, I presume you dont sand between 2 base coats since you said you give it 10mins before second base coat? What about after second base coat and before clear, is there need for sanding before spraying clear? Thank you.
Thanks for your comment. You’re right you don’t see it on the screen and that’s because of the glare, but it’s very minimal. The customer didn’t care about it. He was impressed by it, so I didn’t have to cut polish it. And no you don’t have to sand in between coats when applying the base coat. Two coats with 10 minutes in between that’s all you need then the clear, again with 10 minutes in between coats.
Thanks for your comment. The Sata gun are indeed good. No argument there. However if you’re in a situation where you don’t have an air compressor the Fuji system is the way to go.
Good job! I have the Fuji Q5 system what tip size do you recommend for epoxy primer sealer … I used a 1.8 and wasn’t too happy with the results Any info will be greatly appreciated keep up the good work.. thanks
Hi, I have bought the Mini Mite 5 having seen your videos, I hove had really good results applying 4:1 2k primer (better application than my Devilbis GTI, and very limited overspray) I have struggled on my first attempt to apply 2:1 2k topcoat. I am using the T75 gravity gun with a 1.3 cap set and am considering replacing the cap set with a 1.0 or 0.8, can you advise which would be best please? Your paint work looks fantastic with this system so you opinion would be greatly appreciated.
I would definitely go with 1.0 any less would be too fine. I have done a lot of work where I have to apply primers before doing top coats, and 1.0 cap set always gives me awesome results. Hope this help and please share your experience. Cheers!!!
Yes you can. I have done it in the past with no issues. As long as you don’t abuse your system for more than 10 minutes. Take some pause in between for about ten minutes or so as you paint and you should be fine.
I love all your videos and you are a great painter. But I wish you would at least spend a minute or two in real time when you are spraying. I would love to see how you pace yourself instead of going i to fast forward. Thanks again.
Beautiful finish, great job again, ill be painting my truck soon with my Fuji Mini Mite 5, if it comes out half as good as yours ill be ecstatic
Thanks for your comment. I’m sure you’ll do just as good if not better. Let me know how it turns out. All the best.
I hope you have more content coming. I miss your Fuji advice! Will you paint a full vehicle soon? Take care and have a nice summer!
Hey thanks for your comment.

Excellent mate from NZ...Kiwi
Thanks mate!

There is no other settings that I do. And yes the valve at the hose is wide open. You need to have as much air going through as possible.
Do you adjust the air valve on the hose or keep it wide open including for primer, base and clear. Hoping for more content! Thank you!
The air valve stays fully open all the time.
Where the new videos any coming soon ? This was 7 months ago? Love to see more!
Thanks for your comment. Yes, more videos are coming soon.

You do extrem work how may years have you been painting you do not seem to be a average novice
Thanks for your comment. I’ve been painting for some time now 20years or so. From Yacht painting to car and furniture painting. Including house as well.
Looks great . Wish I had the mini mite system. Semi-pro Fuji system is no good for automotive paint
Thanks for your comment.

Well,
My set up it’s always 2 full turns and all the way open on the air. I keep the fan wide open and I try to stay 5-7 inches away from the surface.
Great job, what Clear Kote are you using? Thanks
Im using Pure Reflection
A 4:1 part
hi, great content thanks for sharing, do you tried the Q5? does it work even better or the best one is this one?? thanks!!
I haven’t tried the Q5 yet. Maybe in the near future.
Thank you!
You’re welcome

These Fuji videos are very helpful. Thank you. How do you feel the Fuji gun compares to quality compressed air guns like SATA, etc?
Thanks for your comment.
The Sata gun are indeed good. No argument there. However if you’re in a situation where you don’t have an air compressor the Fuji system is the way to go.
No. Fuji gun is not like a sata. I used fuji guns for work.
hello another nice paint job 👍👍 i have a question what size tent are you using? Thanks a lot
It’s a 10x20 tent.
Good job!
I have the Fuji Q5 system what tip size do you recommend for epoxy primer sealer … I used a 1.8 and wasn’t too happy with the results
Any info will be greatly appreciated keep up the good work.. thanks
I have always used 1.3 on epoxy primers. If I want to build it up I simply go heavy on it.
I have used 1.0 on expoy. Just need to thin it a bit more.
1.3 and 1.5 works also. Sand later
can you use a regular gun with that turbine?
No you can not.

Great video..What size tip are you using for the base and clear?
Hey thanks for your comment. I use 1.3 for base coats and 1.0 for clear coats.
Is that red tip not a 0.8 on the fuji system? I have a 1.0 but wondering if 0.8 would get better results for clear..
More pleaseeeee 💯🙏🇺🇸👍
Soon
Can you paint a whole car without it overheating?
Yes you can. I have done it in the past with no issues. As long as you don’t abuse your system for more than 10 minutes. Take some pause in between for about ten minutes or so as you paint and you should be fine.
Just curious why not take the hood off to paint it?
Why work harder when you don’t have to?
I love all your videos and you are a great painter. But I wish you would at least spend a minute or two in real time when you are spraying. I would love to see how you pace yourself instead of going i to fast forward. Thanks again.
Thanks for your comment. I will do my best to pace my self as I paint next time.
