Mark you are the shit! Your AWESOME! Damn it I love it when you do videos like this. These are my favorite. Never in a million years did I think that an electric spray gun would work at all much less how it turned out! Thanks again man for the great content! My favorite channel 100%
Did just what you did in 1972 to a Chevy II with the OEM paint color ... besides being dull it covered the car well and lasted many years ... got used to the dull finish and kind of liked it. Good job in ALL and loved talking in the RAIN and painting the tires and wheels.
Yea that's how I feel, car was 2 different colors when I bought it and a boat load of dents. Now it's a lot less dents and one color I'm happy for a beater car
I had that harbor freight paint gun. It died after a few uses too. I now have the Finish Max Super paint sprayer. It was around $100 but it has the 2 stage trigger, pull it halfway and just air comes out then pull it fully and paint comes out. Its quiet and works great. I haven't used it for automotive paint....yet
So as I'm watching this I'm wondering if I should try this on my S10, I have like 1100.00 in the truck and it's like 5 different colors. I really like the gray color you used . In your opinion did the electric gun do a good enough job to use with a single stage paint?
Looks a lot better than it was. I wasn't expecting the cheap airless gun to even work at all. I believe it would have been a nice job if the gun wouldnt have crapped out. Love the look of the car.
That nardo gray looked like it layed down really good from an internet distance but couldn't really tell what the base was gonna do. I think the problems with airless/compressorless, both this one and the turbine type, is gonna be the hot pump and the hot air from the turbine. It will change the flash times dramatically and leave alot of dry spots. It was worth a shot but not something I would do if there was any way around it.
Beautiful job mate! I first used one five years ago when I painted my Toyota Celica bumper and I was amazed that the job Turned out perfect than a rattle can. I decided to buy myself a cordless one and didn't get around to buying the rechargeable batteries. I just bought a recarable polisher and the 21v300 battery I can use with my paint spray🤣🤣 so my next job with be painting my Toyota Caldina Gt4 N spec Bumper. I bought this car two years ago and now getting around to fixing the little issues this came with. I had an old Honda Integra back in 2011 and the paint work was horrible so I used rattle cans the job was horrible and truly wish I had these electric paint guns that would have turned out better. Well done to you for making this video. Perfect job🎉. 🍺
That's what I'm saying, you set out and named the video airless spray gun, you have the money to spend 500 plus on paint. But you crap out on your own video and don't go buy another 20 - 30 dollar sprayer. I mean it's your choice and your own video, but you name it one thing and then don't follow through?
Watched Pt1 and Pt2. I have been curious about how possible using an airless sprayer might be. After watching these 3 vids, now I'm curious how hood a novice painter using the best equipment might compare with a pro using the "wrong" tool. ...lol Speedkote could beat me using a roller!
That is a smoking color man, for a beater car that thing turned out nice. I have an electrical spraygun from Adendorff and been using it for a while now, but never automotive, will try that next.
every week. This was 2 sec short video :). Hey I was like, yeah, this could work. I was a bit angry for not go and buy another one to finish it. Good job!
this works quite well its a perfect way to paint a truck your going in the woods with thats gona get scratched up or a utility truck/car thats used to work
I like the review on this gun. Nice video. How difficult is it to clean once done prior to use the base coat on it and or clear prior to dying on u? I keep wanting to drive out to your location for leave you my little Sentra hooptee to paint for me but I have to get rocket panels and quarter panel repaired first due to rust
Great job brother, it looks like a young fella,s Friday night cruiser... Color suit the car, sweet as finish 🎉. $150 finish I'd be happy with that. ❤from New Zealand supporters ❤
I have one of these spray guns and used it to put stain on my fence. It spit globs of stain unexpectantly and then sometimes wouldn't spray at all and clog up. They really are a cheap piece of crap. I had to buy two guns because they only last a few times of use. I'm surprised that you were able to get it to spray as smooth as you did
You can get a very good Fuji Turbine system for about the price of very good spray gun.Check out some of the vids here on the tube.There is a learning curve,but since your already a painter it will be easy.
I see was pretty close with the synergy green guess. Didn’t know Chrysler had their version. If you go this color again, try putting down a silver ground first for fast coverage. The color looked good, and hey, @ least you tried. Next time try one from walmart😂
no man. this is good... just curious what was your mix in the wingwang? Paint Activator Pearl(tbl spoon) Hardner and more basecoat? HB has them for $27.99 right now as soon as you walk in the door! good job
Harbor Freight used to sell a turbine paint sprayer for $100. I wish I had gotten it before it was discontinued. I wanted to try it. Definitely better than the home sprayer. It would have to be
Considering that those paints ain't even formulated for such a spray gun, it's a miracle that this thing even works, and if enough people ask the manufactures to make a specialty formulate paint for this kind of sprayer maybe we can have much better results, I'm pretty sure that there's a market for that, given the extremely low price to enter the business. And of course, there are way better electric sprayer, those that often called "turbine sprayer" and people use them a lot for furniture.
Very good 👍😊 motivates me to go ahead paint 🎨 my truck for the first time time I'm excited I've been finishing my body work have a little more to go then it's ready to paint 🎨
I'm getting a plastic front lip for an 02 Camry that will need to be painted and I thought about just getting the color match spray can is that can cost what $15- $17 a can If I could spend $40 on a sprayer like that just to do a 5ft long plastic piece
I still say its great with what u had to work with .I'm not saying that every car painter should do this still its great for what u did to show what can be done in a pinch
I’m going to try this with my graco tc pro airless. Can you recommend a brand/ type of paint/ primer that would work best with this? Also the clear coat. I know less sheen = less visible imperfections, but in general is there a color that hides better also? Thanks for this unique content.
how many watts was the spray gun? and can it also spray clear or not? ( i know that a hvlp is much better with clears but i don't have a setup just yet)
I bought that same HF gun for home use. it was total junk and had a ton of paint splatters and it was barely good enough for one job before no longer working. The cheaper spray gun I got off amazon was much better and reusable.
Electric spray guns generally don't spray well using thin paint. They are meant to spray thicker paints and they will burn up using thin paint and sometimes even dry within itself clogging up the gun rendering it useless
@Speedokote refinish network I normally use a Black Widow from Hobo Freight and it has worked very well for the last 4 paint jobs I've done. Royal blue pearl metallic/clear, metallic gun metal grey/single stage, midnight black/clear and torch red/single stage. My next project will be a 2012 Dodge Challenger for my youngest son that I'll sand down with 600 or 800 grit and then shoot with grey sealer and the Speedokote single stage Nardo grey. I saw you use it on one of the cars you painted and I figure 3 coats and I can have it gleaming. But now I'll have to find another air compressor since I sold my Husky 60 gallon. I think a good 40 gallon should work fine unless I can find a 120v 60 gallon at a really good price. Lol
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 love the content bro keep it up👌 hopefully one day I paint my car too. you think you could do a white pearl? Never seen you do one before
I get why paint jobs cost so much, but body/painters don't understand alot of people do not have the money. And let's be real. Part of the reason they cost so much is because shops want that ins. Money not private money. I got a quote for anywhere from 1500 to 3000 to paint my fender flares and my vent visor/rain guards. That is an insane amount of money. I don't give a sh1t what these painters think of themselves. That is t a rational price. I came to the conclusion they didn't want the work but if I was stupid enough to pay those idiotic prices they would do it. I bought 180 dollars of exact paint from Sherwin Williams commercial and a paint gun, taped off a paint booth in my garage hung em amd painted em. They orange peeled a little but but I literally saved thousands. Sanded em down real good and good to go. I am a hard headed will not pay it if I don't see the value kind of person amd on a clean surface printable product I couldn't pay em. I'm am electrician and if we acted like most body shops none of yall would have power. All you hear about is the work, the work. Every single job is work. But paint is absurdly high. I do get alot of it is materials though. That's the crazy part is how high paint actually is. Anyways. Thanks for this video. I've got a beater 1990 gmc that's great except the paint and my buddy said 8k. And I would be stupid to pay him that. I said your damn right. I bought it for 5k. I just can't pay that knowing what I use it for, which is a work truck. This is my new plan of action if this guy lined up to now buy it falls through. Paint and send it.
Unfortunately just can't change the prices of services. T bone steaks are super expensive as well, that's why there's a steak house and a McDonald's in every town so people can pick and chose what quality they want.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little disappointed you didn't finish the job with another gun. I followed both parts and really wanted to see the finished result with this sprayer. Out of interest, what did you use to clean the gun out with?
Justo el video que necesitaba, se agradece tu explicación ya que pintaré el mío, saludos desde Chile.

Yes!
Love that old school two bay ' barndominium ' in the background early in the video.
Perfect for an old bachelor like me. lol.
Was just checking to see if you posted. Good timing
Thanks!
I think this is more of a statement on your ability as a painter than it is the application type. goodjob!
Yup that's basically my whole point of the video
Yep. This paint sprayer in my hands would create a right mess!!

That just tells me not to buy it or get 2 in order to get this thing finished.
However it is harbor freight. If they made everything to last, they wouldn’t make money.
Looks cool as shit for sure. Super improvement and I love the custom mirrors 😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks!
Looked good after the base gray.
Turned out amazing.
Thanks!
Turned out fantastic
Thank you!

That looks freaking awesome
I like it, looks very good. Thanks for making this video, I think I'll buy the type of spray gun that you used
you should do another video with using the airless gun but having one for base and one for clear to really know the results 😅
Thanks for the reference😊
That is a smoking color man, for a beater car that thing turned out nice. I have an electrical spraygun from Adendorff and been using it for a while now, but never automotive, will try that next.
Yea exactly this is just a beater paint job. I was happy with it
I like your videos,looking forward to more content

This is great. Unrelated question, how do you deal with dust particle painting in the open like that?
Wet the ground grab a tarp
Not all bad love the green
You are a brave man spraying a metallic with a gun like that!

After this I’m opening my own painting business! Great work! Hey it’s not the best but it looks good! I’m SOLD! SUBSCRIBED!
Thanks a lot!
What kind of paint are you using?
Great video's, always good to have something that inspires. How much paint did you use?
About a gallon 🙂

Amazon sells all kinds of electric turbine sprayers. They actually spray great.
You should of spraid with lacquer thinner to keep the spray gun clean and clear.
Just tuning in from jamaica
Hey!
Why didnt you just go buy another airless gun to finish the experiment.
The man . Inspiring
Thanks
Awesome thanks
I was wondering what rims you have on there? I have an 08 civic lx coupe, want to get rims but know nothing about it, you made that car look amazing!
These are just some cheapos the owner included . No idea to be honest lol
Can it be done with electric spray gun

Yes agree
What type paint & thinner?? And does that gun hold prime?
She's a 20 footer 😆 ...looks good bro!!
45 footer 😂😂😂
Hello just a question. For the bumper did u used the same primer as the body?
Yes
Very cool, I will say, if you were only doing one paint job, it's probably the way to go 👍🏾
Yea one CHEAP PAINT JOB 😂😂
Very good 👍😊 motivates me to go ahead paint 🎨 my truck for the first time time I'm excited I've been finishing my body work have a little more to go then it's ready to paint 🎨
Great!
Very nice, I thought you might have picked up a 2 nd cheap electric spray gun, but very nice
Man I was so frustrated I said screw it and just grabbed the spray gun 😂😂
good job , cant really expect quality from Harbor Junk!!
Yea it's not the best but happy for a beater paint job
Nice color is almost looks like Honda signature Midori green
I'm getting a plastic front lip for an 02 Camry that will need to be painted and I thought about just getting the color match spray can is that can cost what $15- $17 a can
If I could spend $40 on a sprayer like that just to do a 5ft long plastic piece
Would stick to the spray can stuff. Definitely do proper prep
That’s AWESOME!!!! Looks like it works well for what you’re doing!! How well does it work with metallic colors??
Crap lol!
Great job really

Anything low solids should work
should have bought two those are known for just dying no matter what you run through them
I was planning on doing this too. How is the overspray, im paranoid on getting it on neighbors cars
Not to bad
Do you place a cover over the engine bay since you are spraying over the hood? Wouldn't overspray seep inside?
Usually mask engine bay

That electric spray gun is about to be sold out after this video hits large great job
Probably 😂😂😂
👌🏾
It broke and the video was pointless because he couldn't even finish with it. If you still buy it you're special.
Electric tools from Harbor freight don't really last but if it's a name brand spray gun it would last you for ever.
What is the paint code?
Question::: say the primer has been on the car for awhile like 2 years... is it good to still paint over...
With some sanding it's possible
how many watts was the spray gun? and can it also spray clear or not? ( i know that a hvlp is much better with clears but i don't have a setup just yet)
No idea on wattage
