Awesome info Matt and Jay!! One mistake I see often that some make is not keeping there arm/hand 90degrees to the surface they are spraying. In a former life this was hard for me to conquer. I always wanted to tip my hand down or up causing my fan ends to be heavy or leave a line. With practice and patience anyone can spray finish. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge!! Great stuff!!
Tons of great info, guys! Spraying finishes has definitely been something that seemed somewhat intimidating probably based on lack of knowledge. This was a great break down. Matt really makes it look easy!
Nice video guys, I like how you've been inviting other woodworker to your shop Jay to build and or like in this one breaking Down the spraying of finishes. Thanks for the great tips Matt!
Just have to say that my mind is blown. After watching this video, i realized i have been spraying totally wrong, yet somehow managed to get good finishes. The explanation in this video is what i needed. Outstanding! Makes total sense now and my finishes are coming out better and easier. Thank you!
The best, most helpful explanation of compressors and spraying I've seen so far and I've been doing a ton of research as of late! It can get pretty daunting! Thanks guys!
Matt and Jay. Thanks to both of you! This video just happened to hit my subscription feed at the perfect time! It's funny how sometimes your own personal research and the topics you present are in sync. Great overview! It is much appreciated guys! Cheers from Illinois!
Fantastic breakdown of technique. Matt's def a pro.
It's so nice to see young ones know so much about this "stuff" and doing a superb job too. Thanks for a great video and I wish you well and long lives!
Great job breaking down the info Matt! Cleaning srprayers properly would be another good one.
+April Wilkerson Thanks, yeah I'm getting lots of questions about that. I'll try and do a follow up video explaining the process.
Great video. I also spray finishes in the automotive world and had questions about similarities between application on wood and what i am used to. The article Matt put together also clarified my questions about spray tip size. Thanks guys.
Great video!! I've been spraying with a hvlp since about 93. My first gun (I still have) is a Finish Line made in France. it still works great!!
I have already finished my deck and it looks good. I overlapped around 50% once I got in the groove and stayed in the project. Now I know better thanks to you two. Thank you and I will use your advice with water to practice.
Excellent! I just bought my first compressor and a spray gun. This was excellent timing!
Practicing with water is something you can do indoors in any weather but it is good to understand the humidity of the area you live in. Water based finishes will require some additional care in super dry or super humid areas.
Well done guys!
Thanks a lot. It really reinforces what I've learned about spraying finishes by trial and error. It's good to finally know I'm doing it the most efficient way possible.
Thanks for the intel. I appreciate your vids because unlike some high end furniture making shows/vids, etc you definitely make the woodworking and building things simplified without being overly technical.
Really excellent intro, guys! Really helps to take a lot of the mystery out of the process!
Perfect timing! I just bought one to help me repaint my new house.
Thanks for the tips Jay, and also say thanks to your friend Matt. Pretty cool stuff !
Great explanation of the spray process. I've done a little spray painting back in the day and want to start using it again for my projects.
Thanks Jay and Matt (I subscribed to Matt's too), this was just the kind of encouragement that I needed to go out and give it a shot. I had purchased a cheep gun from HF and had found a YT video on how to improve it's performance somewhat. I had cleaned it real good, but then never used it. This was just the kick I needed, thanks again to the both of you.
+Bill Macfarlane glad to hear that.
+Bill Macfarlane Awesome Bill, Glad this helped!!
Thanks for this tutorial, I've been wanting to spray finishes for a bit, now I feel more confident to tackle it.
Super awesome tutorial. Thanks Jay and Matt for sharing .
Love the collaboration Matt & Jay
Good vid and I've done some HVLP spraying and I found that you spend more time setting up and cleaning the equipment than your actual spray time. I will say that it does save a lot of time in the long run especially if you are spraying larger projects. Thanks for sharing.
Ive been spraying stain and lacquer professionally for a few years now, not as long as matt. But I can confirm pretty much everything he said is very similar to the way I've been doing things as well, and has worked very well for me! Good video!
One of the better videos on setting up hvlp for woodworking... Thank you!
Great Timing!! Thanks for the tutorial. I like the 4'x8' mounting and masking.
Thank you for such a good information and encouragement to all of us do a nice job. I been trying to do it but I ended to make a mess and feel frustrated because a lack of knowledge to do the right thing with the most basic steps. Thank you again. God bless you guys!
This video came at the perfect time! I just had to spray finish all the chair molding in my house and the tips in this video really helped!
Did my best ever lacquer spraying today after viewing your video yesterday. I have had a few goes at spraying before but never really knew how to set the gun properly. Many thanks.
Awesome video Jay! love the collaborations!
I need to get myself an HVLP gun.
Excellent technique at 7:46. Nozzle turned 45 degrees outward at the end of each pass to angle off and halve the material. This is mandatory for surfaces being overlapped like casing and jamb corners where the paint will make two passes over the same place. Flick the wrist up or sideways just as approaching and passing across the corner area and the second pass, also angled away, will leave a uniform coat, with no need to pull out the roller and fix a puddle that will guaranteed run down.
Great video with a ton of information. Answering my question I had with spray finishes now to go buy a spray gun and practice. Thanks guys awesome info

One of the best quick overviews I've seen guys, thanks.
Very informative. Good to see you two CZcamsrs YouTubing together on CZcams.
Great breakdown, very informative! Now I need to get my massive old compressor up and running again! Its a bit too industrial for a home garage, it likes to blow fuses back in the house on startup, but once its going it's fantastic.
Just want to say thankyou for this. It has been really helpful for someone that is just starting out with a spray gun.
Timely video. Just bought an Earlex 5500 to spray some wooden sheep hurdle props white. For a first timer it worked really well, it was the clean up and unit stripdown and rebuild afterwards that took the time. But still all way faster than with a brush!
Very informative and easily explained, thank you. Going to use my basic Kobalt setup from Lowe's soon.
Looked at $300 Graco setups and thought I'd start with this HVLP system for $85.
I'm sure it won't be the same, but have to start somewhere.
Finally! This video is great. Tells me everything I need to know where as some vidoes just dive straight in
Excellent explanation as well as all your videos. Thank you for share the knowledge.
This just popped up in my feed, how timely because I am just starting to experiment with spray finishing. I dug my old hvlp out of my parents' garage and i want to spray paint some picture frames I made. Also, I have a craftsman compressor and it looks EXACTLY like yours with a different paint job.
Really glad to see that I can in fact spray lacquer with one of these type of guns vs. Having to drop a ton of money on a professional grade spray rig! I've sprayed lacquer on cabinets before when I was working for a cabinet shop years ago but I didnt know if I was crazy in thinking I could use a gravity feed gun. Trying to get the tools I need to enjoy my newest hobby without breaking the bank
Great info Matt & Jay :)
+John Heisz Thank you, John.
very nice and informative vid. I use a hvlp on all the trim and woodwork in high end custom homes for a smooth glass like finish
Appreciate the great info Matt and Jay.
Much appreciated and well-organized tips, tricks, and explanations!
amazing steady painters hand amazing wood work by the tall guy!!!
Another great video. I'm heading to Matt's channel to subscribe. I have a HVLP system I bought used. I've sprayed with it but have fussed a lot with thinning, to the point that I stopped using it. It was nice to hear you say that you spray poly and others without thinning. I'll give it at try. Thanks
Well that explains his patience, anything connected with automotive needs a lot of patience. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent demo and useful tips from a professional sprayer
I’ve been watching HVLP and spray videos for the past few days working my way up to spraying a project I’ve been working on for a while now.
This is probably the most intuitive and hands on tutorials I’ve seen at this time, thank you for that!
Thanks. What a great instruction. i wonder about this for year and used a brush. now i know how to do this. thanks Jan from Norway
I bet they get Matt to spray all the automobile roofs - lol !!
Great vid , learnt a lot -thanks guys
Good intro. I'd be interested in seeing same setup with paint. In sure not too different but would like to know differences. Thanks! Good video as always.
Nice to learn from the pro, I have a project ready to apply these techniques.
Great video and much appreciated. I am glad to see Matt busting the myth of needing a high-end compressor for HVLP. When researching this awhile back, I found many "elitists" on the internet that would tell newbies they needed a giant expensive compressor with a high CRM rating. That might be true for a large auto-body shop, but as Matt just proved a decent midsize compressor will do just fine for most home shop projects.
+BeanHole Very true. I got that compressor second hand in 2008. It's far from the top of the line compressors.
It works like this, whatever gun you will use will determine the minimum specs of your compressor. If your gun needs a certain amount oif CFM to spray as it was designed then you cannot starve the gun for air. Guns need both air pressure and air volume.
No, the so-called elitists were not advising you wrong. If you are limited by the size of your compressor then get a gun known for its low CFM useage, like an AOM Asturo. Otherwise don't worry about a coating that's orangepeeled and not too smooth.
Or get a 3-stage turbine setup and don't worry about compressors.
Your compressor has to have the needed number of horsepower and also you do have to be concerned with tank size. It helps to have one rated for continuous duty, many guns are air hogs.
5HP is not mid sized have a look at the catalogs , it is also a Devilbiss possibly double stage pump, not the cheapest but not the kind you find at harbor freight , it is yet professional equipment
A compressor that gives you 300 liters min at 7 bar will not give much more at 2 bars, may be 350 liter. I did that mistake to confuse low pressure and low volume at first. Indeed you always can put some spray on wood but forget about the tension of the film and the quality of atomisation(water is very easy to atomize)
Its not the amount of money for a compressor, but you do need a large tank size... hence high volume, low pressure...
If guys are whinning about not affording a large compressor, stop buying HVLP! Go with a conventional style spray gun, or LVLP, which are designed for use with smaller tanked compressors.
Its not BS, its just the way it works.
Can you spray with a smaller compressor, like in this vid? Sure!
But be aware of the added strain on your compressor, which leads to premature failure, and moisture issues which cause so many paint defects, because of the added run time of the compressor. Hot air leads to condensation, which unless you have an air dryer(which if you cant afford a decent compressor, you dont have an air dryer) will cause you headaches by making its way to the gun and on the surface you're spraying.
End result, if you want good finishes on larger products, avoid HVLP or purchase a good sized compressor.
You own an HVLP and purchase a small compressor, stick to small projects that the gun isnt demanding a large volume of air!
great simple direct vid, good useful content, thx to both of you
Nice video guys thx, just gave me more confidence to use an air compressor as i have never use one before
hey Matt ! i would love to see a video on spraypainting on your channel as well, since most other woodworking youtubers dont cover that properly. great video !
Great video Jay!! I've always wondered about how to use a system and was too intimidated to get out and try. I'll try that this week.
Good job on the video I can see you have pride in what you do good job keep it up
Great video guys. Matt makes it look really easy haha! Thanks for the info I need it!
Wow great video guys! Thanks! Quick question-I am an auto detailer and do headlight restoration using clear coat. Currently I only have a Porter Cable 6Gallon 2.6CFM @90PSI..will this work for small projects like coating headlights with clear?
Hey Jay, nice to meet you at the Atlanta Woodworking Show. Great info about a spray gun, I have 2 and never use them, I think I will try this out with the water trick. Again excellent info
+Ed White It was nice meeting you too, Ed! :)
Great video as always Jay.
As someone who has a good bit of experience spraying lacquer, I wanted to add my 2 cents. My advice would be not to spray indoors without some sort of booth set-up that exhausts to the outside. Lacquer, in particular, has a very strong smell that you'll be living with if used indoors. Also, though it takes a lot, overspray can start to build up on nearby surfaces. (I can't speak to poly since I wouldn't bother with spraying it)
Good information for me. I was going to buy one but now I see that my 2 gallon compressor won’t cut it. Good video guys. Thanks LAD
thanks for this video, I have a hvlp set up I have never used but after watching this I may have to dust it down and give it a go
increeedible blend of worlds and techniques, and all explained in laymans, yet informative enough to get us going! off to harbor freight!
Good video and good information well explained guys, thanks!
Excellent info. Answered several questions I had. How about airless?
Awesome video! Thanks Jay and Matt!
Very informative and very helpful. I was talking to Tyler G this past week and he sprays his finishes now and swears by it and prefers it over brushes and wiping on finish. All I have is a 6 gallon Porter Cable Compressor. So I'm assuming it wouldn't be big enough to spray finishes. I've tried using a cheap Harbor Freight sandblaster gun and it would only give me about 30-45 seconds of use until the compressor kicked on and the pressure would drop.
+Joshua Luther Yeah, you'll definitely need a larger compressor.
Good video with good information. Matt, subscribed to your channel.
great job guys..a lot of good info
I think a short followup on cleaning your gun after the project would be good. I've used my sprayer for paint but not poly or any other clear finishes. was always nervous about the poly clogging up the gun if not cleaned properly.
Guys a fantastic video! Thanks! I want to spray paint bicycle frames and HVLP seems the way to go due to lower wastage. I have a 50 litres compressor. You say that choking the fan is bad due to bigger volume being sprayed in one location, but a smaller fan would be desired for small areas like forks, chain stays, tubes, etc. Would you recommend a smaller nozzle? Maybe 1.2 or even 1.0mm?
Great video. Glad I found out that my compressor (similar to yours) would would not work. So, back to chicken and egg, compressor comes before spray gun.
Nicely done and very helpful. Thanks, guys!
Sweet! Thanks fellas. Jay, you're my go-to! \m/
Thanks so much. I just painted a project, with a brush, that I knew should have been sprayed. I was afraid to get the spray gun out. Not now.
Great video! My wife and I are going to be painting our kitchen cabinets in the near future. I have a Husky 8-gallon 4.0 SCFM 125 psi compressor. Will that be enough to use the method of your video? Thank you!
This video was very informative, thanks.
Best airgun breakdown I have seen
Nice job guys!
Very useful, especially with the expert comments/instruction from Matt.
+Roy Gutknecht He definitely knows his stuff.
This video is great, I refer to it repeatedly. I was about to pull the trigger on a Fuji system but I am reconsidering after watching this video again. I have a compressor already, I think I just need a gun with a bigger "air cap" / needle so I can spray heavier paint.
I like the tutorial so much that I used my HVLP on my current project but I came to an issue.
I apply 3 thin coats of minwax wood stain but the last one is been almost a day and is not drying it's still have the glossy look and I want to apply one more thin coat before I apply polyurethane clear.
do you know what is the problem here and how should I proceed?
Thank you guys for the professional level of content you produce.
My question is to Matt,
I have a small Sata Minijet HVLP 2 with a 0.8 nozzle
I don't want to invest in a new nozzle and would like to use it for wood finishes.
My intention is to use it on the roof of an apartment building so noise matters a great deal..
What size compressor do you think is the minimum required for usage once a month in terms of tank and CFM?
Do you think a similar to Dema's compressor can be used?
Great video, guys!
Nice tutorial guys!
Really clear explanation Matt! thanks
+AdventuresInDIY Thanks Chris!
Guys very timely and well done video. Was wondering is there any recommendations for temperature for spraying finishes and I guess just a timing and technique one, I see alot of cabinet guys build with prefinished plywood would a standard spray finish hold up for this? I for one would love to see an actual model number for a gun you guys think is good maybe keep it under $100. Also went and read the article, gun lube?????
Fantastic information thanks guys.
Hey I'm wondering which guns you have in the video? You guys do awesome work, I love watching all the cool videos.
Nice work guys!!!
Nice intro. What about a good sprayer for latex paint on furniture?
I saw you in a video using the Rockler sprayer but it got some serious negative reviews when doing latex... any thoughts ? Thanks
hi jay. what kind of finish would you recommend for an indoor bench seat? i'd prefer to spray on. thanks!
Thanks for the video, lots of good info.
