Would love to hear about any experience spraying uPVC.. What products are you using? Or anyone using an air spray / HVLP setup ..Do you do wood refinishing? Even spray cars .. What equipment are you using and what materials do you spray?.. it’s great to get your input 💯
Hey John, thanks for your input on the channel.. that’s a great machine, I like the XVLP sprayers.. yeah Kolorbond will spray through XVLP.. you may just have one problem.. the viscosity of Kolorbond is very low (thin).. sometimes when it’s that thin, the pressure can not hold in the cup so you get a stop start spray (pulsing)... bit like when cleaning / flushing with water, the spray will pulse.. I’ve got this machine ua-cam.com/video/1C2CV8mEWn8/v-deo.html ..Same just with the separate turbine.. when I get chance, I’ll put a video testing Kolorbond through XVLP ..Hope this helps my friend, keep in touch.. regards Pete 🎨💯
I have sprayed many automotive applications with HVLP before. For around the house stuff similar to this where I am spraying metal I usually use a siphon feed gun with a 1.7mm tip. In similar applications I have sprayed an enamel acryilic cut with a basic universal reducer. Works well overall. However, I loved your scratch test in this application. That is a great paint and I liked how you did the scotch bright in between coats. That was very interesting to me!
I sprayed a pvc door + frame and a few of windows but it was a spray booth job with large compressor and devilbis gpg guns (is1.5 bar considered high pressure?), used shervin williams 2pack polyurethane. Did pretty much the same procedure as you here and got great finish, didnt think to do a scratch test 😊, will remember the next time. Masking was a nightmare as I couldnt remove the glass panel while rubber gasket and masking tape refused to cooperate with each other. Looking forward to sprayman hvlp + pot set up but tripping at the same time as I dont have access to sb anymore and never used hvlp. Exciting times.
Hey Joe, that’s so very kind of you 👏👏👏 ..Anyone can do it, I’m more than happy to help anyone if I can.. hope you’re keeping well and having success my friend 💯
The door looks phenomenal, it blows my mind how effortless you make it all look! Another great video - another great job 👌🏼.... and we most certainly did ❤️
That scotch bright thing blew me away... I was thinking that the dust would find its way into the crevices and cause gummi paint but your results were GREAT.
Like me m8 I have been a painter & decorator for the last 20 years and now I am going down the spray route so I am sending a few months learning everything ( I went on spray course as well to refresh as I done spraying in college 20 years ago) Jesus time flies 😂 Currently working with the council for last 2 years but its horrible, just not for me so I want to start up on my own with my speciality being spray. This video helped a lot along with the comment from others with things they would have done different 👌
Hey Gavin.. This is great news, and I’m more than happy to help you every step of the way on your spraying journey.. ‘problems’ occur but persevere, never give up and it will soon become very satisfying and rewarding.. when you get a minute, have a look around the videos on my channel, like I say I’m more than happy to help if I can.. answer questions / recommend equipment / products etc.. keep in touch my friend.. regards Pete 🎨💯
@@PaintHQ Thank you Pete, I seen you are in the same Facebook groups that I have joined as well 👌Its a mine field out there with everyone using all kind of products. I have decided to try Tikkurila products and see how I go with them. 👍🏻
Hi Gavin, Tikkurila products are great, you’ll have success with them.. are you planning to go the National P&D show next month?.. Tikkurila will be there.. if you’re interested, it’s free.. details are in the description 👍 Regards Pete 🎨💯
@@PaintHQ Yes I was thinking of taking a trip down, I am in Scotland so would require an over night stay. I may just book the premiere inn that is close by 👌 someone did recommend going as everyone in the industry will be all under the one roof
Wow that’s a journey my friend 🏴❤️👍 ..Yeah if you can make it, that’ll be great.. both days, I’ll be on the SpraymanUK stand (or wandering around 🙈).. The SpraymanUK team are knowledgeable and friendly, there’s a Graco rep with us too.. we all like a good chat 😆🙈
I've had my sf23 pro wagner for a couple of years now, fantastic unit especially with the 2 hoppers. But seriously considering going AAA. Rep from wagner is adamant I should go for it
Hi Matt.. go for it buddy.. the Gentilin compressor in this video would be the perfect compressor to go AAA, especially with your SF23.. very nice my friend 👏 ..This Gentilin is the ultra quiet, there is a cheaper model that’s not ‘ultra quiet’ but it’s not loud by any means.. and you don’t need to run the compressor directly alongside the airless sprayer, you can run the air line from another room.. coupled with the Wagner AC4700 gun.. it’ll be an awesome setup .. sorry, I sound like a sales rep or I’m sponsored.. I’m not btw 😆 it’s just that Mike at SpraymanUK is very knowledgeable in the ‘spraying / compressor world’ and not just out to make a sale 👍 ..Please keep in touch and let me know how you get on.. even if you don’t go AAA yet, always great to get your input 💯 regards Pete
Such a great job apart from not removing the old mastic. Kolorbond doesn’t adhere to mastic so will be flaking off in no time. Always remove and replace with new colour matched mastic. The paint finish is first class though.
Hey buddy.. appreciate the feedback.. you make a very valid point 👏👌👍 ..It’s my front door, so a little test and also the painter and decorator in me wants perfect straight lines.. I knew I could mask a perfect line, and the strive for perfection left me torn.. What I’m going to do is a revisit video in 12 months about the complete job and see if I can do a comparison to a siliconed project 👍 I knew it would create a talking point also over UA-cam, which is always very welcome... thanks again my friend.. do you do much uPVC spraying with Kolorbond?.. I know Tikkurila do a product too, I’d like to get peoples opinions on that 😆 regards Pete 🎨💯
@@PaintHQ Hi Pete, don’t get me wrong, if I could get away with not removing the mastic I would. It’s the biggest ball ache of any upvc job. I’ve only really used kolorbond on upvc, I found it worked really well so haven’t looked elsewhere. Love the videos mate
I very much value your input and feedback my friend and really appreciate you supporting the channel.. it’ll be great if you can keep in touch.. regards Pete 🎨💯
Hi Anthony, great to have your feedback / contribution on the channel.. I’m not familiar with using those products, although if I’m right they’re by ISF Coatings.. a brand that produce quality materials in the refinishing world.. they’re on my radar 😆 Have you used them my friend?. I guess 2-pk too, which is the way to go.. keep in touch, great to have you onboard 😆 ..regards Pete
Very good job, I have been watching your videos the last few hours, I decided to subscribed your channel. The only question I would ask you, is how long did take you to do the whole process? Have you paint all that, in the same day? Cheers.
Thank you my friend, you’re so kind - really appreciate you subscribing 💙 Yes, prepping and spraying this door was done in a day. It’s easily achievable - this was my own door, to do some testing - I plan to do a follow up, show what I’ve learned and would do differently - keep in touch my friend, it’s great to get your input 💯 Regards Pete 💙
Nice workmanship. Very brand specific though. Price for the refurbishment of the doorset wouldn't be far from a new one. That said, be interested in the results of a DIY er doing it, as I dare say, most don't have the attention to detail that this type of work requires.
Hey Simon, yeah definitely 💯 be great to catch up 👍👌😆 ..I’ll be there both days buddy, aiming to be with the SpraymanUK team from 12 both days ..feel free to give me a shout if you see me wandering around.. lost 😂🙈👍
Hi Pete! Door looked absolutely awesome!! I have a graco quick shot. Would you recommend using that to spray UPVC. Do you think it will do the job? Thanks Again. 👍
Thank you my friend 🙏 You know what, that’s something on my mind to demonstrate (the possibilities) in a future video.. basically you need to reduce the paint flow to gain more control - you do that by using a smaller orifice size. That said, the paint viscosity has to be low, plus bear in mind the minimum UQS tip support is .008” - but a .006, so a 206 and 106 is possible, as long as the UQS is not over pressurised.. So yeah, basically it’s very workable to spray uPVC with the Ultra QuickShot 💙💯 regards Pete
Hey Paul, appreciate your kind words as always 💯 very good question.. yeah as you know I’m a huge fan of airless using the .008 tips to spray manufacturer coatings.. so I’d have to say a compressor setup with the HTE gun, manufacturer materials will go through it like a dream.. nothing against the turbine HVLP ..but they’re loud and the air lines being thicker they can be heavier in the hand .. I do rate XVLP but the extra air can drive you mad blowing the masking off ..This compressor is quality, you get value for money and sprays awesome 😆 ..Great question, hope you’re keeping well my friend 👌👏👍 ..Regards Pete
Hi, is that oil based or water ? Never used kolorbond before. And i raised an eyebrow as you left the old silicone i. Just curious . Great vid though mate. I'll introduce myself at the p+d show later in the year. We do loads of spraying too.
Hello my friend, great to hear from you and yeah it’ll be good to meet you at the show 👍 ..Yeah it’s the solvent (original) version by Kolorbond.. they do a waterborne alternative but I gather the Kolorbond Original is preferred.. I’m glad you raised the point about the silicone.. I know I’m opening myself up to questions about that ..I don’t mind, I can take it 😆 ..As you seen I prepped hugely.. but 2 things, it’s actually my front door, so a little test to see how it goes.. and basically I’m a Painter and Decorator at heart, who looks for perfection and I knew with the right tapes I could mask the perfect line.. and it was 👌👍😆 ..Keep in touch, really appreciate your input.. check out the rest of the channel 👌 ..Regards Pete
Hey Daz.. you’re very welcome, it’s great to hear from a fellow sprayer.. I welcome your input and expertise ..I have a lot of respect for the refinishing world and how the technologies are crossing over to the the Painter and Decorators.. even reaching the DIYers 👏👏👏
Hi Pete, your discovery of Blue Dolphin Rough Surface Exterior Tape is brilliant. I just used it on old bricks to mask up an external door frame, it followed the contours of the bricks and mortar joints very well and gave a really clean line when removed. I used Tikkurila Ultra Primer followed by two coats of Ultra Classic on the door and frame. I followed your suggestion and bought FFLP tips (208 for frame, 308 for door), the tips were fine but although I added some water to the Ultra Classic my Graco Ultra Max really struggled with umpteen blockages (which is a pain when you are trying to get a clean pass). I had it on 10, knowing that you max out around 7, and wonder if I should just water it down a bit more? Any guidance always gratefully received. With thanks and best wishes, Rob
Hey Rob, awesome feedback on the Blue Dolphin tape.. yeah it’s really useful to have in your kit, even on other ‘problem’ masking areas when you need that extra bit of grab.. I’ve used the Ultra system myself, great products.. in the scenario where you’re upping the pressure of any sprayer and you get a feeling it’s higher than it should be (possibly still getting tails), or in the case of the handheld, you’re at max 10.. you’re kinda right in thinking of thinning, thinner lower viscosity material going through the smaller size.. but ideally you’d need to up the tip size.. from a .008 to a 0.010.. so in your case a 210 / 310.. that’s why you’re getting the tip blockages too.. I know it’s a pain 🙈 ..by all means you can thin, I just don’t want you to loose the integrity of the paint by thinning too much.. let me know how you get on, always great to hear from you 👍💯
@@PaintHQ Aargh! More tips? I’ll soon have more than Sprayman’s stock! That said I really appreciate your feedback, always with helpful advice that I can implement. I’ll get to ordering. Many thanks for taking the time to respond. With best wishes, Rob
Haha 😆.. you’re very welcome, always happy to help if I can.. like I say you can try and add that bit more water.. I don’t mean to come across as you need to spend more money, I can appreciate costs add up.. the tips do last though.. I recall you saying you used a 208 and 308.. just a 310 would suit your needs.. what will happen is the 310 is the same volume of material but less concentrated than the narrower 210.. so a 210 you would have to move quicker, the trade off is a 310 is wider so more overspray to contend with.. 12” paper will still be fine though.. hope this helps, I guess it all adds to the understanding how airless and the spray tips work, what happens it all prices together and starts to make sense 😆 .. I’ll eventually put an in-depth video together explaining the tips, not just the widths because that’s a bit more easier to understand, but what happens in terms of the volume of material that is sprayed and how viscosity determines the tip selection 👍👌😆
@@PaintHQ Many thanks for elaborating Pete. Until I got the 208/308 combo I’d used a FFLP 410 and made a real mess with overspray on stair spindles! I’d marvelled how you were happy to use masking paper around door frames without worrying about overspray hitting the walls. Using the 208/308 was delightful as I could see most of the paint was going onto the target. I’ll certainly get both 210/310 so I have more flexibility. Anyway, the client was thrilled at her “new” front door (with no brush marks) which is the main thing. There’s a lot more to spraying than I initially thought, and a video, along the lines you suggest, would be brilliant. I’m thinking of putting together a sheet listing paints used, amount of dilution and tip sizes used, so to have something to which to refer on future jobs. Many thanks for all your guidance. With best wishes, Rob
..You’re idea of a sheet and listing the tips / pressure / settings and general notes is spot on.. that’s what I did from day one learning to spray, and still do now 👍😆 ..I’ll make a video from a beginners perspective and incorporate the making of notes 🤔👌😆
hi mate im doing 4 pvc windows and a door in summer from watching your video the key is useing scitchbrite inbetween coats could you give me any tips or advice on my first go at doing it please
Hey Gareth, happy to help and advise if I can.. I do plan to do a follow up video on this.. I like the Kolorbond ‘system’ of using the 2 preparation cleaners, but I’d go for a 2K product.. never WB, in my opinion WB is not strong enough to adhere to uPVC, the solvent 1K (original) is perhaps ok for windows.. but really I’d look to go 2K.. I think Kolorbond’s is called K2.. another highly rated product is Selemix 👍 ..but yeah, using Scotchbrite to key and build up the coats lightly is the way to go 👏👏👏
Thank you my friend.. that’s a very good question, something I plan to do a follow up video on.. a solvent 2K would be my preference, Kolorbond K2 or Selemix is another one.. kolorbond original could fair well on windows, but doors with high traffic, I’d definitely go with a 2K 👍 ..keep in touch.. regards Pete
@@PaintHQ I’ve been doing a lot of UPVC doors with the original but have a full how to do now and not sure to go with the 2k, is there much difference in spraying the 2K? Also the air cap your using, what’s the benefit compared to a standard anest Iwata HTE cap?
Thank you my friend 🙏 I used Kolorbond Original, that’s a 1K solvent - however I do plan to do a follow up video and demonstrate a 2K, such as Selemix 👍 The test in this video was on my own door - going forward I would recommend using 2K solvents on uPVC exteriors for much more durability 🙏 regards Pete
Thank you buddy 🙏 it’s like anything, it’s a process that you get quicker at over time 👍 ..next summer I’ll look to post more on uPVC and exterior work.. I do like taking on the odd one, if I’m sure on the weather 😩
Yeah mate I'm.a decorator myself just trying to get into more.upvc, kitchen sprays. I've had enough of the roller and brush and where possible am trying to stick to spraying. I'd.loke to spray them without taking them out though if possible ad it would save alot of hassle for.me and the customer but appreciate that there is a benefit in taking out its about cost/benefit I suppose. Good luck I will keep following you!
I’ve used this paint a few times, great video but I guarantee that handle and letter box will scratch within months.. I don’t sheet these for this reason
Thank you my friend 🙏 Yeah I totally agree, it was a little test on my own door.. I plan to do a follow up soon, my thoughts right now is I’d only use a 2K solvent on uPVC - the product in this video is a 1K by Kolorbond (Original), I believe they do a 2K (Kolorbond K2), but I’d likely go with Selemix 👌 ..appreciate your input my friend.. regards Pete 💙💯
@@PaintHQ just to all I did a full house around 8 years ago using the 2K water based paint..I went back recently only to touch up where the beads has expanded and cracked otherwise the paint still looks like new 👌

Hi Pete. Would you do a video on spraying a UPVC window and how to tape it up the best way and do you take the sash out like you do the doors? I’ve done my first door today and 2 windows. It wasn’t easy taping it all up Especially the inside of the windows so the spray doesn’t go inside. What’s your best way when doing windows with openers? I can’t find any videos on UA-cam for this. Thanks 🙏
Hey Andrew, it’s on my list of videos to produce.. I’ll be spraying all my uPVC windows as soon as I can find a slot in my schedule.. I plan to demo various strategies, hopefully covering your dilemma.. I’ll include taking the window opening out, which in my opinion is the best option in the long run (probably for the ‘issues’ that you may have encountered.. In a comparable way to spraying internal doors and door frames, it’s far easier to take the door off and remove the door furniture than struggle taping up.. you never quite get to spray all the edges easily 🙈 ..Keep going my friend, you’re doing great.. and I’m happy to help all i can.. regards Pete
Tasty work chief. What make is your pressure pot and gun. Have an AA setup with the sf23 and ac4600 and a Graco 595 but missing HVLP. Looking for similar for little jobs like this what would you recommend regarding the HVLP.
Ah thank you for the kind words my friend, appreciate that.. Wow you’ve got some awesome kit 💯 ..The gun / pressure pot is by Anest Iwata from SpraymanUK.. it’s a relatively inexpensive HVLP / HTE (High Transfer Efficiency) gun, in my opinion I prefer this setup Vs an HVLP Turbine setup.. with your AA setup you could run the pressure pot and gun straight off your compressor.. in future I’m looking to go AA and would choose the same AC4600 gun as yourself 👍 ..Keep in touch my friend, it’ll be great to have your input and expertise in future 👍👌👏😆 ..regards Pete

hi mate love your channel and work! was going to spend 1200 on a hvlp qtech 5stage would you recommend it for kitchens and windows? also what tip do i need to spray primer mate
Hey buddy, thank you so much for the kind words of support.. the QTech unit is certainly a popular machine and being a 5 stage turbine, it will have some ‘power’.. I prefer the versatility of the air spray compressor setup, the lighter / more flexible air line, coupled with a regulated pressure pot, you get more dedicated air to the gun.. so you get a lighter, flexible setup for going up a ladder or spraying the intricate features of a kitchen.. then if you desire, in future you could couple the compressor with airless and venture into Air Assisted Airless 👌👍😆 ..Happy to help some more if I can.. let me know how you get on.. regards Pete
@@PaintHQ cheers for that mate i was a bit late on reading your reply otherwise i would of held off buying the hvlp but ive purchased it now haha ! i will keep you updated on how it goes my friend thank you for your help
Hi Alexandru, really appreciate your kind words of support.. I’m more than happy to help you as much as I can.. the setup isn’t an AA (Air Assisted), it’s an air spray pressure feed gun running off a compressor.. here’s the details.. The gun is the Anest Iwata AZ3 HTE2 pressure feed gun with a remote 2 litre pressure pot.. Running off a Gentilin Ultra Quiet 24 litre compressor, with a delivery of 5 bar, 150 L / min (5.3 CFM).. I was able to spray with a huge amount of control, only spraying a small amount of material.. I’d guess approx 250-500ml (max).. hope this answers your question.. more than happy to help some more, anytime.. regards Pete
Hey...Great video, you look to have a very professional setup...would love to know what.I'm looking at spraying my own windows but can't decide on what system to use. Do I go compressor and HVLP gravity fed gun (would a 50ltr/14cfm compressor tank do the job??) Or do I look into a HVLP turbine system?? Also got my eye on a Wagner XVLP 5000...so much to choose from....any advice?? Thanks
Hi Eddie, really appreciate you watching the video and the kind feedback.. more than happy to help, to get you up and running.. With the compressor setup, it’s so versatile and in my opinion you get so much more for your money.. for example the regulated pressure pot/cup in this video is much cheaper than the turbine equivalent.. with a pressure cup you’ll have more manoeuvrability, males life easier up a ladder (you can hook the cup on your belt, or a ladder rung.. with a compressor Vs a turbine, the compressor air line is much thinner and flexible.. a compressor you’ll get more atomising air Vs the ‘legal’ limit of a turbine HVLP.. although solvent based uPVC paints are low viscosity (thinner) so you’ll have no problem spraying with either technology.. regarding the XVLP systems, I very much like the technology.. check out my XVLP video ua-cam.com/video/1C2CV8mEWn8/v-deo.html ..My issue with XVLP, is the extra air is strong, you really have to make sure your masking is stuck down.. with the extra air, you’re combating how the air can impact the finish.. trick is to use as little air as possible to atomise the material.. what I’ve also found with XVLP (it’s why I would use for uPVC).. when spraying very low viscosity materials, almost like water.. the low density causes a problem with pressuring the pot.. this causes a stop / start spray (very frustrating).. anyone used XVLP, will experience the same problem when cleaning / flushing with water.. it pulses The Gentilin compressor in my video is 24 litre with a air delivery of 5 bar, 150 L / min (5.3 CFM).. Do you currently own a compressor?.. Hope this covers your questions, I’m happy to help answer any further questions.. keep in touch my friend, I’m interested to know which you go for.. regards Pete 🎨💯
@@PaintHQ Thanks so much for taking the time out with your detailed reply....sounds like you've been in exactly the same position as me when trying to choose the best system and bang for your buck..a lot to digest. Will definitely come back with more questions when I've had chance to properly understand and research your reply...Thanks again.
@@PaintHQ ...I noticed on your UA-cam channel you promoted the P&D Show in Coventry. Good shout, as I'm now definitely going to hold off on what to buy until after I've visited!!! I don't yet have a compressor...my first choice was a Hyundai HY3050 50ltr, 14cfm, 3hp, 8bar 116psi...Gets good reviews and is only £300, but I'm worried I'll have to stop/ start when it runs out of air (reason I started looking at turbine systems...Apollo, Grace, Qtech etc...however after looking at your Gentilin, I assume it provides continuous air, so no need for a large tank? Would love one, but out of my price range for spraying my own windows and doors at home...maybe there's offers to be had at the show!!??
Hi Eddie, yeah that’s great that you’re attending, I’m sure you’ll receive lots of advice and inspiration.. I’ll be on the SpraymanUK stand both days (along with taking a look around and enjoying the show myself).. I’m not sponsored or advertising SpraymanUK in any way, so when I say pop and see us for a chat, I genuinely mean it’ll be great to meet you and try to help.. A guy called Mike from SpraymanUK is very knowledgeable regarding all things spraying, especially compressors 😆 ..The Gentilin I chose was to future proof me, in terms of having the power / CFM to go Air Assisted Airless (basically Airless spraying with the additional air from a compressor).. so it’s very possible you could ‘size down’ for feeding a HVLP / HTE setup.. I’d have to clarify that for you.. but yeah it’ll be a great show, that would benefit you.. Kolorbond are there, and I’m sure various companies in the tapes and masking world.. I can advise you on that too 😆 ..See you there, in the meantime feel free to message anytime.. regards Pete 🎨💯

Hi mate. I have been following you for a few months now and I think you do a great job explaining everything. One question I want to ask is about the paint you used. Do you need to add hardener to the paint or is it just mix and spray. Thanks
Hello my friend, really appreciate you watching the videos and giving the feedback.. Yeah I used Kolorbond Original (which is their ‘original’ solvent based version).. there’s no hardner required, just a real good stir, there is settlement at the bottom of the can.. it is recommended to use kolorbond’s 2 prepping cleaners / degreasers.. ones a WB cleaner that you dilute, the other is a solvent cleaner you use straight out the can.. it sounds like I’m selling the product 😆 ..I’m not.. it’s just a really good product that sprays so well and the cleanup is quick with a generic gun wash (xylene) ..Keep in touch, I’m happy to help any way I can and would love to hear about your successes.. regards Pete 🎨💯
@@PaintHQ Hey mate blinding work as always. I believe that one of the products from Kolorbond reacts chemically with the plastic, making it kind of porous so the paint bonds in to the plastic.
Thank you, your so kind 💯 Yeah you’re spot on.. the prep cleaning and degreasing process / Scotchbrite red / and the 1st ‘mist coat’ is all important to the bonding process.. Kolorbond is a paint that bonds rather than 👏 just sit on top.. great product, highly recommended if you get chance to try it my friend 👌👍 ..Let me know if I can be of any more help ..regards Pete
Good question my friend, and this is something I plan to test / demonstrate.. I believe you could, if you use the new Graco FFLP 106 or 206.. the .006” orifice has a significantly less flow and you’d gain much more control 👍 Regards Pete
@@PaintHQ morning pete, yes deffo cause I remember painter telling me he sprayed windows and doors with airless on pvc ,and I'm nearly sure seen vid years ago on UA-cam
Appreciate your input.. just to clarify, this was my own front door and after deliberating, the painter in me wanted to create the most perfect line.. with the material being a 1K solvent, I wanted to test the outcome.. it’s pretty good.. but you’re absolutely right, on a live customer project, without doubt I’d remove the silicone and reapply with a RAL match.. really appreciate your input, be good to have you contributing on further videos.. regards Pete 🎨💯
Hello my friend, I personally wouldn’t use a waterborne paint for uPVC, just my opinion I don’t think it’s up to the job.. I’d even say, go with a solvent 2K product.. in this video, I used the ‘Original’ Kolorbond which is 1K.. I plan to do a follow up video, I’d go with a 2K (Kolorbond K2), or Selemix, again a 2K solvent 👍 hope this helps my friend.. keep in touch.. regards Pete 👍
Hi Julian, I purchased along with Kolorbond Original as a recommended preparation ‘system’.. from Rawlins Paints..

@@PaintHQ thanks, I was very impressed with the little overspray though as 9.5 seems to have a lot of overspray maybe ok in a spray booth but not so good on site and it’s heavy to hold. I watched one of your other videos and you used a gx 21 and converted it to AAA. I have a gx21 and am really keen on converting mine as there was practically no overspray . If I was to convert mine could I use this to spray kitchen cabinets, front doors, garage doors upvc windows as well as ceilings walls and woodwork?

Hi mate I've just bought a wagner FC3500 can it be used on pvc with the fine finish tip on for it cheers
Hey John, thanks for your input on the channel.. that’s a great machine, I like the XVLP sprayers.. yeah Kolorbond will spray through XVLP.. you may just have one problem.. the viscosity of Kolorbond is very low (thin).. sometimes when it’s that thin, the pressure can not hold in the cup so you get a stop start spray (pulsing)... bit like when cleaning / flushing with water, the spray will pulse.. I’ve got this machine ua-cam.com/video/1C2CV8mEWn8/v-deo.html ..Same just with the separate turbine.. when I get chance, I’ll put a video testing Kolorbond through XVLP ..Hope this helps my friend, keep in touch.. regards Pete 🎨💯
I have sprayed many automotive applications with HVLP before. For around the house stuff similar to this where I am spraying metal I usually use a siphon feed gun with a 1.7mm tip. In similar applications I have sprayed an enamel acryilic cut with a basic universal reducer. Works well overall. However, I loved your scratch test in this application. That is a great paint and I liked how you did the scotch bright in between coats. That was very interesting to me!
Really appreciate your feedback.. you’re an awesome sprayer and it was great to get your input.. keep in touch my friend.. regards Pete
I sprayed a pvc door + frame and a few of windows but it was a spray booth job with large compressor and devilbis gpg guns (is1.5 bar considered high pressure?), used shervin williams 2pack polyurethane. Did pretty much the same procedure as you here and got great finish, didnt think to do a scratch test 😊, will remember the next time. Masking was a nightmare as I couldnt remove the glass panel while rubber gasket and masking tape refused to cooperate with each other.
Looking forward to sprayman hvlp + pot set up but tripping at the same time as I dont have access to sb anymore and never used hvlp. Exciting times.
Absolutely brilliant video Pete. Very informative. Well done.

Like me m8 I have been a painter & decorator for the last 20 years and now I am going down the spray route so I am sending a few months learning everything ( I went on spray course as well to refresh as I done spraying in college 20 years ago) Jesus time flies 😂 Currently working with the council for last 2 years but its horrible, just not for me so I want to start up on my own with my speciality being spray. This video helped a lot along with the comment from others with things they would have done different 👌

I've had my sf23 pro wagner for a couple of years now, fantastic unit especially with the 2 hoppers. But seriously considering going AAA. Rep from wagner is adamant I should go for it
Hi Matt.. go for it buddy.. the Gentilin compressor in this video would be the perfect compressor to go AAA, especially with your SF23.. very nice my friend 👏 ..This Gentilin is the ultra quiet, there is a cheaper model that’s not ‘ultra quiet’ but it’s not loud by any means.. and you don’t need to run the compressor directly alongside the airless sprayer, you can run the air line from another room.. coupled with the Wagner AC4700 gun.. it’ll be an awesome setup .. sorry, I sound like a sales rep or I’m sponsored.. I’m not btw 😆 it’s just that Mike at SpraymanUK is very knowledgeable in the ‘spraying / compressor world’ and not just out to make a sale 👍 ..Please keep in touch and let me know how you get on.. even if you don’t go AAA yet, always great to get your input 💯 regards Pete
Cheers Pete, I'll look into that 👍 Appreciate your time and knowledge as always
You’re very welcome, anytime 👍
Hi Pete, have you considered heated hose application? Lower pressure, better application and viscosity etc.
Hey Matt, very much so, it’s on my list 👌 ..looks an awesome bit of kit.. do own one, or have any experience.. would work nice alongside your SF23 💯
Such a great job apart from not removing the old mastic. Kolorbond doesn’t adhere to mastic so will be flaking off in no time. Always remove and replace with new colour matched mastic. The paint finish is first class though.
Hey buddy.. appreciate the feedback.. you make a very valid point 👏👌👍 ..It’s my front door, so a little test and also the painter and decorator in me wants perfect straight lines.. I knew I could mask a perfect line, and the strive for perfection left me torn.. What I’m going to do is a revisit video in 12 months about the complete job and see if I can do a comparison to a siliconed project 👍 I knew it would create a talking point also over UA-cam, which is always very welcome... thanks again my friend.. do you do much uPVC spraying with Kolorbond?.. I know Tikkurila do a product too, I’d like to get peoples opinions on that 😆 regards Pete 🎨💯
@@PaintHQ Hi Pete, don’t get me wrong, if I could get away with not removing the mastic I would. It’s the biggest ball ache of any upvc job.

Hi Pete! Door looked absolutely awesome!! I have a graco quick shot. Would you recommend using that to spray UPVC. Do you think it will do the job?
Thanks Again. 👍
Thank you my friend 🙏 You know what, that’s something on my mind to demonstrate (the possibilities) in a future video.. basically you need to reduce the paint flow to gain more control - you do that by using a smaller orifice size. That said, the paint viscosity has to be low, plus bear in mind the minimum UQS tip support is .008” - but a .006, so a 206 and 106 is possible, as long as the UQS is not over pressurised.. So yeah, basically it’s very workable to spray uPVC with the Ultra QuickShot 💙💯 regards Pete
@@PaintHQ thank you for the reply 👍 Yes definitely do a video, I'm sure it will get a lot of attention 👍🤗
Hi Pete looks bang on my friend if you wasn’t using air less on woodwork would you use this system or hvlp xhvlp
many thanks for your time
Hey Paul, appreciate your kind words as always 💯 very good question.. yeah as you know I’m a huge fan of airless using the .008 tips to spray manufacturer coatings.. so I’d have to say a compressor setup with the HTE gun, manufacturer materials will go through it like a dream.. nothing against the turbine HVLP ..but they’re loud and the air lines being thicker they can be heavier in the hand .. I do rate XVLP but the extra air can drive you mad blowing the masking off ..This compressor is quality, you get value for money and sprays awesome 😆 ..Great question, hope you’re keeping well my friend 👌👏👍 ..Regards Pete
Hi, is that oil based or water ? Never used kolorbond before. And i raised an eyebrow as you left the old silicone i. Just curious . Great vid though mate. I'll introduce myself at the p+d show later in the year. We do loads of spraying too.
Hello my friend, great to hear from you and yeah it’ll be good to meet you at the show 👍 ..Yeah it’s the solvent (original) version by Kolorbond.. they do a waterborne alternative but I gather the Kolorbond Original is preferred.. I’m glad you raised the point about the silicone.. I know I’m opening myself up to questions about that ..I don’t mind, I can take it 😆 ..As you seen I prepped hugely.. but 2 things, it’s actually my front door, so a little test to see how it goes.. and basically I’m a Painter and Decorator at heart, who looks for perfection and I knew with the right tapes I could mask the perfect line.. and it was 👌👍😆 ..Keep in touch, really appreciate your input.. check out the rest of the channel 👌 ..Regards Pete

Hi Pete, your discovery of Blue Dolphin Rough Surface Exterior Tape is brilliant. I just used it on old bricks to mask up an external door frame, it followed the contours of the bricks and mortar joints very well and gave a really clean line when removed.
I used Tikkurila Ultra Primer followed by two coats of Ultra Classic on the door and frame. I followed your suggestion and bought FFLP tips (208 for frame, 308 for door), the tips were fine but although I added some water to the Ultra Classic my Graco Ultra Max really struggled with umpteen blockages (which is a pain when you are trying to get a clean pass). I had it on 10, knowing that you max out around 7, and wonder if I should just water it down a bit more? Any guidance always gratefully received.
With thanks and best wishes, Rob
Hey Rob, awesome feedback on the Blue Dolphin tape.. yeah it’s really useful to have in your kit, even on other ‘problem’ masking areas when you need that extra bit of grab.. I’ve used the Ultra system myself, great products.. in the scenario where you’re upping the pressure of any sprayer and you get a feeling it’s higher than it should be (possibly still getting tails), or in the case of the handheld, you’re at max 10.. you’re kinda right in thinking of thinning, thinner lower viscosity material going through the smaller size.. but ideally you’d need to up the tip size.. from a .008 to a 0.010.. so in your case a 210 / 310.. that’s why you’re getting the tip blockages too.. I know it’s a pain 🙈 ..by all means you can thin, I just don’t want you to loose the integrity of the paint by thinning too much.. let me know how you get on, always great to hear from you 👍💯
@@PaintHQ Aargh! More tips? I’ll soon have more than Sprayman’s stock!
That said I really appreciate your feedback, always with helpful advice that I can implement. I’ll get to ordering.
Many thanks for taking the time to respond. With best wishes, Rob
Haha 😆.. you’re very welcome, always happy to help if I can.. like I say you can try and add that bit more water.. I don’t mean to come across as you need to spend more money, I can appreciate costs add up.. the tips do last though.. I recall you saying you used a 208 and 308.. just a 310 would suit your needs.. what will happen is the 310 is the same volume of material but less concentrated than the narrower 210.. so a 210 you would have to move quicker, the trade off is a 310 is wider so more overspray to contend with.. 12” paper will still be fine though.. hope this helps, I guess it all adds to the understanding how airless and the spray tips work, what happens it all prices together and starts to make sense 😆 .. I’ll eventually put an in-depth video together explaining the tips, not just the widths because that’s a bit more easier to understand, but what happens in terms of the volume of material that is sprayed and how viscosity determines the tip selection 👍👌😆
@@PaintHQ Many thanks for elaborating Pete.
Until I got the 208/308 combo I’d used a FFLP 410 and made a real mess with overspray on stair spindles! I’d marvelled how you were happy to use masking paper around door frames without worrying about overspray hitting the walls. Using the 208/308 was delightful as I could see most of the paint was going onto the target. I’ll certainly get both 210/310 so I have more flexibility. Anyway, the client was thrilled at her “new” front door (with no brush marks) which is the main thing.
There’s a lot more to spraying than I initially thought, and a video, along the lines you suggest, would be brilliant. I’m thinking of putting together a sheet listing paints used, amount of dilution and tip sizes used, so to have something to which to refer on future jobs.
Many thanks for all your guidance. With best wishes, Rob
..You’re idea of a sheet and listing the tips / pressure / settings and general notes is spot on.. that’s what I did from day one learning to spray, and still do now 👍😆 ..I’ll make a video from a beginners perspective and incorporate the making of notes 🤔👌😆
hi mate im doing 4 pvc windows and a door in summer from watching your video the key is useing scitchbrite inbetween coats could you give me any tips or advice on my first go at doing it please
Hey Gareth, happy to help and advise if I can.. I do plan to do a follow up video on this.. I like the Kolorbond ‘system’ of using the 2 preparation cleaners, but I’d go for a 2K product.. never WB, in my opinion WB is not strong enough to adhere to uPVC, the solvent 1K (original) is perhaps ok for windows.. but really I’d look to go 2K.. I think Kolorbond’s is called K2.. another highly rated product is Selemix 👍 ..but yeah, using Scotchbrite to key and build up the coats lightly is the way to go 👏👏👏
Hi great job! What do you recommend for UPVC Kolorbond original or the Kolorbond 2k
Thank you my friend.. that’s a very good question, something I plan to do a follow up video on.. a solvent 2K would be my preference, Kolorbond K2 or Selemix is another one.. kolorbond original could fair well on windows, but doors with high traffic, I’d definitely go with a 2K 👍 ..keep in touch.. regards Pete
@@PaintHQ I’ve been doing a lot of UPVC doors with the original but have a full how to do now and not sure to go with the 2k, is there much difference in spraying the 2K? Also the air cap your using, what’s the benefit compared to a standard anest Iwata HTE cap?
Great work dude.....what paint are you using?
Thank you my friend 🙏 I used Kolorbond Original, that’s a 1K solvent - however I do plan to do a follow up video and demonstrate a 2K, such as Selemix 👍 The test in this video was on my own door - going forward I would recommend using 2K solvents on uPVC exteriors for much more durability 🙏 regards Pete

I’ll include taking the window opening out, which in my opinion is the best option in the long run (probably for the ‘issues’ that you may have encountered..

Hey buddy, thank you so much for the kind words of support.. the QTech unit is certainly a popular machine and being a 5 stage turbine, it will have some ‘power’.. I prefer the versatility of the air spray compressor setup, the lighter / more flexible air line, coupled with a regulated pressure pot, you get more dedicated air to the gun.. so you get a lighter, flexible setup for going up a ladder or spraying the intricate features of a kitchen.. then if you desire, in future you could couple the compressor with airless and venture into Air Assisted Airless 👌👍😆 ..Happy to help some more if I can.. let me know how you get on.. regards Pete

Hi Alexandru, really appreciate your kind words of support..

Hey...Great video, you look to have a very professional setup...would love to know what.I'm looking at spraying my own windows but can't decide on what system to use. Do I go compressor and HVLP gravity fed gun (would a 50ltr/14cfm compressor tank do the job??) Or do I look into a HVLP turbine system?? Also got my eye on a Wagner XVLP 5000...so much to choose from....any advice?? Thanks
Hi Eddie, really appreciate you watching the video and the kind feedback.. more than happy to help, to get you up and running.. With the compressor setup, it’s so versatile and in my opinion you get so much more for your money.. for example the regulated pressure pot/cup in this video is much cheaper than the turbine equivalent.. with a pressure cup you’ll have more manoeuvrability, males life easier up a ladder (you can hook the cup on your belt, or a ladder rung.. with a compressor Vs a turbine, the compressor air line is much thinner and flexible.. a compressor you’ll get more atomising air Vs the ‘legal’ limit of a turbine HVLP.. although solvent based uPVC paints are low viscosity (thinner) so you’ll have no problem spraying with either technology.. regarding the XVLP systems, I very much like the technology.. check out my XVLP video
ua-cam.com/video/1C2CV8mEWn8/v-deo.html
..My issue with XVLP, is the extra air is strong, you really have to make sure your masking is stuck down.. with the extra air, you’re combating how the air can impact the finish.. trick is to use as little air as possible to atomise the material.. what I’ve also found with XVLP (it’s why I would use for uPVC).. when spraying very low viscosity materials, almost like water.. the low density causes a problem with pressuring the pot.. this causes a stop / start spray (very frustrating).. anyone used XVLP, will experience the same problem when cleaning / flushing with water.. it pulses
The Gentilin compressor in my video is 24 litre with a air delivery of 5 bar, 150 L / min (5.3 CFM).. Do you currently own a compressor?.. Hope this covers your questions, I’m happy to help answer any further questions.. keep in touch my friend, I’m interested to know which you go for.. regards Pete 🎨💯

A guy called Mike from SpraymanUK is very knowledgeable regarding all things spraying, especially compressors 😆 ..The Gentilin I chose was to future proof me, in terms of having the power / CFM to go Air Assisted Airless (basically Airless spraying with the additional air from a compressor).. so it’s very possible you could ‘size down’ for feeding a HVLP / HTE setup.. I’d have to clarify that for you.. but yeah it’ll be a great show, that would benefit you.. Kolorbond are there, and I’m sure various companies in the tapes and masking world.. I can advise you on that too 😆 ..See you there, in the meantime feel free to message anytime.. regards Pete 🎨💯
How many tins of paint does it take to paint an average size house? Just looking to get an estimate of how much everything will cost to start up?
Hi Ollie, I buy material in 5 litre quantities my friend.. you should have product left over, a little goes a long way when spraying HVLP / Airspray 👍 ..hope this helps.. regards Pete
@@PaintHQ Awesome thank you, looking to start up a spray painting business so just getting an estimate of finances first.
Hi mate. I have been following you for a few months now and I think you do a great job explaining everything. One question I want to ask is about the paint you used. Do you need to add hardener to the paint or is it just mix and spray. Thanks
Hello my friend, really appreciate you watching the videos and giving the feedback.. Yeah I used Kolorbond Original (which is their ‘original’ solvent based version).. there’s no hardner required, just a real good stir, there is settlement at the bottom of the can.. it is recommended to use kolorbond’s 2 prepping cleaners / degreasers.. ones a WB cleaner that you dilute, the other is a solvent cleaner you use straight out the can.. it sounds like I’m selling the product 😆 ..I’m not.. it’s just a really good product that sprays so well and the cleanup is quick with a generic gun wash (xylene) ..Keep in touch, I’m happy to help any way I can and would love to hear about your successes.. regards Pete 🎨💯
Thanks mate and keep up the good work. Look forward to your next video. 👌
You’re very welcome, thank you 😆
@@PaintHQ Hey mate blinding work as always. I believe that one of the products from Kolorbond reacts chemically with the plastic, making it kind of porous so the paint bonds in to the plastic.
Thank you, your so kind 💯 Yeah you’re spot on.. the prep cleaning and degreasing process / Scotchbrite red / and the 1st ‘mist coat’ is all important to the bonding process.. Kolorbond is a paint that bonds rather than 👏 just sit on top.. great product, highly recommended if you get chance to try it my friend 👌👍 ..Let me know if I can be of any more help ..regards Pete
Hi Pete ,can you not spray with a airless?
Good question my friend, and this is something I plan to test / demonstrate.. I believe you could, if you use the new Graco FFLP 106 or 206.. the .006” orifice has a significantly less flow and you’d gain much more control 👍 Regards Pete
@@PaintHQ morning pete, yes deffo cause I remember painter telling me he sprayed windows and doors with airless on pvc ,and I'm nearly sure seen vid years ago on UA-cam
i heard paint don't stick to silicone! either way best to remove and replace with same colour silicone. it will give better finish
Appreciate your input.. just to clarify, this was my own front door and after deliberating, the painter in me wanted to create the most perfect line.. with the material being a 1K solvent, I wanted to test the outcome.. it’s pretty good.. but you’re absolutely right, on a live customer project, without doubt I’d remove the silicone and reapply with a RAL match.. really appreciate your input, be good to have you contributing on further videos.. regards Pete 🎨💯
Hi buddy hope you’ve been keeping well, just wondering if you have ever tried to water based multie surface paint for Upvc?
Hello my friend, I personally wouldn’t use a waterborne paint for uPVC, just my opinion I don’t think it’s up to the job.. I’d even say, go with a solvent 2K product.. in this video, I used the ‘Original’ Kolorbond which is 1K.. I plan to do a follow up video, I’d go with a 2K (Kolorbond K2), or Selemix, again a 2K solvent 👍 hope this helps my friend.. keep in touch.. regards Pete 👍
@@PaintHQ thank you for that pete appreciate your help
Anytime my friend 🙏
Hi mate, where do you get the upvc paint prep stuff from
Hi Julian, I purchased along with Kolorbond Original as a recommended preparation ‘system’.. from Rawlins Paints.. Kolorbond Original is a 1K solvent, I plan to do a follow up video, spraying more uPVC.. id recommend a 2K solvent, take a look at Selemix 👍 Kolorbond do a 2K called Kolorbond K2 ..regards Pete
Interesting mate as I want to get into upvc as it’s going to take off I use a hvlp 9.5 though not your kind of set up lol
You’re using a great setup my friend 💙
Keep up the good work mate helping us mortals out
Thank you.. we’re all learning, and helping each other 😆🙏💙
Hi there, can I get the same finish with a graco 9.5 finish pro ?
Hi Glen, most definitely my friend 👌👍🙏 ..regards Pete
@@PaintHQ thanks, I was very impressed with the little overspray though as 9.5 seems to have a lot of overspray maybe ok in a spray booth but not so good on site and it’s heavy to hold. I watched one of your other videos and you used a gx 21 and converted it to AAA. I have a gx21 and am really keen on converting mine as there was practically no overspray . If I was to convert mine could I use this to spray kitchen cabinets, front doors, garage doors upvc windows as well as ceilings walls and woodwork? I have been looking on spraymans website at the packages he does and there are three. Can you recommend which package you would use for this type of spraying. Sorry for the long reply. Many thanks Glen
you need to cut away all the old silcon as this will just blow once painted
Hi James, thanks for the feedback.. you’re exactly right 👍 ..This was my own door, so call it a test.. one year on and it’s holding up ok, but I do agree, professionally speaking, removing the silicone and reapplying after is the only way 👍 ..thanks for your input, keep in touch my friend.. regards Pete
What's with the horror movie sountrack?
👻🙈 ..Sorry about that.. thank you for watching my friend 😆 ..regards Pete
@@PaintHQ great vid brother 👌..x
Thank you brother 🙏
kolorbond wont stay on the silicon
You’re right my friend, I appreciate your input 🙏
Why don't you turn up your fluid?!
atomization of paint is terrible to big drops of paint
Appreciate the feedback my friend 👍
Music is a bit moody lol
Haha, sorry it is a bit in this video 🙈
