    In this video we go through how to set up a paint gun, how to connect it to a compressor, and what components are necessary for it to function properly.
    For the most part I use a Devilbiss Finishline paint gun in this video. I also show you a protools gun, which I often use for lacquer. Although I generally use a large shop compressor, he unit featured in this video is a porter-cable and should be sufficient to run a paint gun smoothly.

    I know this tutorial is old, but I just found it and it really helped me alot. The fact that you are willing to explain to novices how air compressor couplings work shows just how dedicated you are to your subscribers like me, and how dedicated you are to really helping people. Thanks for all you do, Mr. Angove, you are a great teacher! Cheers to you from southern Illinois!

    I’ve just bought myself my first small compressor, I only do very small projects as I have disabilities. I certainly won’t be painting any cars or even a car's door. All I wanted was someone to give me very basic instructions and for them to assume I know nothing, which in fact would be the truth. I don’t know how many videos I’ve watched that assume I know how to use a gun and want to teach the higher level skills. I’m sure that’s what the vast majority of people want to see but at the moment I don't. I just want to paint something for the first time.
    This is the first video I've seen that caters for me and people like me, an old guy who wants to learn something new. I can’t tell you how pleased I am that I finally found this video, thank you very much indeed.

    Good video. So many videos assume everyone is knowledgeable in all the areas and often people are not so you explaining everything is probably a big help to many novices. I have the same gun but the earlier version (FLG3). I picked up a few things from your video about it ! Only thing I would add is your much better off keeping the couplers to an absolute minimum so it keeps the gun much more nimble, light, and from dragging the air line across your paint job. I hook the regulator like yours DIRECTLY to the gun like it comes new. You can actually tighten it enough by hand using the Gauge for gripping or use a wrench. Then add the air Chuck at the bottom. Or even better a SWIVEL air chuck.

    Great information! I just finished applying glaze to eight bisque-fired bowls. The glaze came out of the gun in globs rather than a mist. Now I know what I did wrong. Wish I'd found your video before glazing. Oh well. Pieces are in the kiln firing. Will do better next time. We always learn from our failures.

    I agree, this is informative. I build & fly scale model airplanes and I just started learning how to build from scratch. So naturally, I would want to paint my planes. I'm back & forth on deciding which would satisfy my paint needs, a spray gun or an airbrush.
    Your video does an excellent job explaining the ABC's of spray guns.

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  Před 9 lety

      James Patterson Thanks James. Depending on what kind of paint you're intending to use, a large nozzle airbrush might serve your purposes quite well, or a small touchup gun.

    • @jamespatterson6972
      @jamespatterson6972 Před 9 lety

      Brad Angove I use epoxy paint from "Klass Kote" and I'm currently using a brush to apply this kind of paint.

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  Před 9 lety

      It sounds like it might be too thick to apply with an airbrush. Do you have a way of thinning it down?

    • @jamespatterson6972
      @jamespatterson6972 Před 9 lety

      Brad Angove Thanx Brad. Klass Kote makes their own reducer, which I use.
      Not an airbrush, a "spray gun".

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  Před 9 lety

      Oh, sorry. I thought you wanted to use a large nozzle airbrush. If you can reduce it appropriately a spray gun should probably work.

    hey Brad, do you have a video on what nozzles to use with different types of paint and primer? or does nozzle size matter that much?

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  Před 7 lety +2

      I think I did a video on that at some point. The general rule is: thicker paint = bigger nozzle, and if you need more paint quicker, use a bigger nozzle. I use a 1.5 or 1.7 for sealer, 1.3-1.5 for clear, and usually a 1.2-1.3 for spraying paint. You'll want to use a large nozzle for metal flake as well.

  • @goldenboyproductions7229

    Hey. thanks for this. Curious... what type of paint and process would you use to paint the frame of a steel trailer? Would getting a paint with a built in primer (if any such thing) work or should I just go straight with the color? I'm new at all this so any advice would help. You also mentioned a filter would be good between the gravity canister. I have one that goes from the air compressor and one hooked up directly to the pressure gauge before the gun. Should I get the filter for the canister as well? thanks.

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  Před 7 lety

      I don't really trust the paint with the built in primer. I would sand and clean it, prime it, and then do a couple coats of paint and three coats of clear probably.
      The filters in the air line are to take out moisture. The filter that I was referring to in the gun is to strain the paint so you don't shoot clumps by accident. You can also just use a conical paper paint strainer and poor the paint through there into the gravity feed cup.

  • @conse01
    @conse01 Před 10 lety

    Great information Brad! What is the optimal size air compressor for doing projects no bigger than 24"x24" in size? I don't really want to hear the compressor constantly running... Thanks !!

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  Před 10 lety

      The size of compressor that you need depends on your paint gun. Every air tool has specific volume and pressure requirements. The larger your compressor and tank are, the less it will need to run.

    Excellent video on how to adjust your spray gun. Remember....bugs are your worst enemy. Never paint a quality car outside under a tree. Remember....bugs....and even birds......never paint a car under a tree where birds with diarrhea are ready to bombard you. Nothing worse than painting a car and a big pile of bird droppings become part of your car. Believe me....I have had to fix many a backyard car with bird poop or bugs under the clear coat.

  • @ShainAndrews
    @ShainAndrews Před 7 lety +1

    4:10. Packing nut's only function is to stop paint from leaking out around the needle. Pull force is determined by the spring at 4:58. Yes you can increase trigger force by tightening the packing nut. It is not recommended because that just increases wear on the packing nut and the needle. It only needs to be tight enough to stop a leak. Too tight can also stop the needle from seating when the trigger is released. At no point does the packing nut determine when the needle movement starts. You will always have to pull the trigger the same distance which is determined by the enlarged block portion on the needle.
    Anytime you adjust your fan, you must check your air pressure at the gun. Regulate your air pressure at your tank or line to +/- 5-10 psi of intended spray pressure at the gun. This is to minimize air velocity changes due to extreme pressure differentials pre and post regulator. Keeping the regulator wide open, or nearly wide open greatly reduces the venturi effect. This tends to have a greater improvement on HVLP guns, but is certainly a best practice across the board.

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  Před 7 lety +1

      I thought I mentioned that the packing nut had the potential to stop the needle from seating etc., but it's been a long time since I made or have watched this video, so of course I can't say for sure. The packing nut essential just has the effect of gripping the needle a bit if it's tightened to that degree.
      I suppose if you're working with a small compressor dedicated solely to your gun it would be feasible to adjust the pressure at the tank. Like most people working in shops (automotive or otherwise) I obviously don't really have that option, but thanks for the suggestion. I'm not worried about the venturi effect in this case, as it's not that difficult to suitably regulate your air.

    • @ShainAndrews
      @ShainAndrews Před 7 lety +1

    nice video as usual. really want to paint my snowboard with a satin or matte catalyzed urethane finish and want to make sure i have the necessary equipment without spending more than I need to. how large of an air compressor is needed to operate a paint gun efficiently. for my use looks like ill be using around 1.5 mm nozzle. keep the videos coming they're awesome.

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  Před 10 lety

      The size of air compressor needed depends on the gun. You should check what CFM (cubic feet per minute of air) the gun requires, and make sure that you air compressor is capable of that. Also, if you have a reasonably large tank attached to your compressor and you let it fill before you start the compressor won't have to work as hard and you may be able to get away with a slightly smaller one.

    Brad very informative stuff on set up and also on Acrylics in the sequel vid. Thanks. If you are spraying "Acrylic Lacquer" do you follow the rules for Lacquer (ie get plenty of flow and thick wet coats) or for Acrylics (mimimal flow and build up with multiple dusted coats)??? Interested in your advice on this. Cheers, Alex

    Thanks Brad, enjoyed the video. What size hose do you recommend for Acrylic and/or 2 Part ? Also, water filter location ?

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  Před 8 lety

      I use the standard half inch hose, mostly because that's the one that's typical in most shops. I would imagine that using a larger hose wouldn't be a problem, but I'm not sure since I haven't done that.
      Moisture can collect in the hoses, and anywhere else in the system really. For that reason, I try to use a moisture filter as close to the gun as possible. Usually just before my regulator. I also have a dryer on the compressor that I use, but that's because it's a large unit that provides air to the whole shop.

  • @rikkyricardoo
    @rikkyricardoo Před 8 lety

    Youre very thorough on your videos Brad , theyre great.. I have one question..
    What compressor do you recommend? How many gallons does it need to be in order to do a fine paint job on a car?

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  Před 8 lety

      +rikkyricardoo I don't have a specific recommendation for a compressor. To do a car you need one with enough CFM to be able to support your gun. Different paint guns require different CFM ratings from their compressors.

    • @rikkyricardoo
      @rikkyricardoo Před 8 lety

      Thank you so much for answering brad, do you think a 20 gallon with 2 horse power will suffice?

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  Před 8 lety

      I would imagine that that would be sufficient. If you let the tank fill up all the way before you begin it will probably be alright. What is the CFM requirement for your gun?

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  Před 8 lety

      +1proudnativeson Thanks for watching. I wouldn't want to use a spraying with really thick paint that doesn't reduce well. Metal flake paints can be difficult to spray and require a large-nozzle gun. Things like hammered finish paints don't spray well because they don't reduce evenly and they string up when you spray them. They are also really difficult to clean out of the gun. Did you have a specific type of paint in mind?

    • @1proudnativeson

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  Před 8 lety

      Spraying your wagon shouldn't be a problem. Using a syphon feed gun shouldn't be a problem either. It sounds like you've got everything you need. What you use to cut the paint depends on what kind of paint it is.

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  Před 6 lety +1

      +Sroor9001 yes, you can do that if you don't have a regulator. Try to regulate it at the compressor though and just use that for small adjustments.
      Not sure what you mean about the moisture trap.

    • @Sroor2023
      @Sroor2023 Před 6 lety

      Brad Angove thanks do you mean regulator on the compressor just have one gauge so I have to install second gauge for pressure right in case like this 😅.
      About filter I mean there is spray gun air line filter Do you use that or its luxury accessory just new in compressor and painting with air compressor also

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  Před 6 lety +1

      +Sroor9001 Does the one gauge have a valve that you can adjust?

      I bought 2 filter which is to be attached to the gun but it's not red or blue which is disposable it has check valve and white element

    Hi Brad,
    I saw that the second gun you presented, also have a setting wheel near the plug at the bottom, in adition to the settings on your flg4. My Iwata az3 hte2 also has it. In the paper that come with it, says only that is used to set the air flow, but not how to set it. Also from your video How do you set it? I am noy sure why would it be usefull or used for, if you have your pressure regulator. For now I am thinking to set it to full open, and set the regulator to the pressure stated for operating in the gun booklet and don't touch the air flow setting in the gun.
    Thx,
    Adrian

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  Před 9 lety

      You're exactly right Adrian. It's for setting airflow. I always keep mine full open and use the air regulator at the base of the gun instead.

    I was concerned about the high scfm rating on the finish line I just bought but then I read that a scfm rating on a compressor is at the inlet. I was thinking the more expensive two stage compressors somehow put out a higher volume of air but if it's the same psi and the same hose and couplers, etc should the air be the same? I understand my cheap compressor may not be able to handle continuous spraying but in spurts isn't it providing the same quality of air? Thanks dude, I really appreciate the info, subbed and thumbs up

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  Před 4 lety

      The air quality is the same. It’s more a matter of volume. If you have a reasonable sized tank it can store some air volume and keep the gun running for longer on a smaller compressor.

I've spent a lot of time educating myself on bodywork and painting and I've never heard anyone mention the air quality is the same from a $100 pancake comoressor and a $1209 two stage compressor. This a revelation to me but I assume nobody mentions it because it's a basic fact to them and taken for granted. I can't think of a great analogy but if you're teaching someone how to throw a ball you probably wouldn't feel the need to explain what gravity is. Thanks again:)

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  Před 6 lety +1

      The tip size depends on how much you’re thinning it. I’d probably recommend 1.3-1.5.
      As for the gun, if you take a look at my recent videos I’ve got a few spray gun demos from a company who’s guns I really like. So much so that I’ve made an arrangement with them to sell the guns to my viewers at a discount. If you use the link in the description of those videos, and the coupon code BRAD10% you can get 10% off.
      If you’re not interested in the Warwick guns from the videos, the devilbiss finish line is also an excellent gun at a good price point.

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  Před 8 lety

      +1proudnativeson You thin the paint if it seems too thick to flow properly through your gun. Usually the data with the paint will let you know if you need to thin it and how much. You thin it by mixing it with something to thin it. What you use to thin it depends on what paint you're using.

      Ya, it’s tough. It depends on the size of what you’re spraying and the size of the tank. If your compressor can’t quite keep up with the gun, you can still paint for a while using the reserves in the tank. So, if you have a large enough tank and you’re spraying something small then you can go for it.

      It went well. I've yet to purchase my own gun, since I'm not quite ready to start painging my motorcycle. The video was informative for the basic mechanics I'll face when purchasing. However, I do have a question; have you dealt with or looked at any LVLP guns? I know you do guitar work mostly, which is different than automotive, but still. I'd think the slower/more effective would work best for your type of use.

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  Před 7 lety

      I don't like LVLP guns. They spray too slowly, and it's really hard to get a nice build and a professional looking finish with them. It can be done, particularly with lacquer and acrylics, but it's not very efficient. An LVLP gun would be more appropriate for a guitar than it would be for any automotive application. I've sprayed a few car parts and a motorcycle, and the only way I would go with an LVLP is if I couldn't get a compressor that had the capacity to support an HVLP.
