I use one at work. But mine has 2 gauges on tank lid. 1 Air Pressure gauge & 1 Fluid Pressure gauge. And got rid of the 5 meter hose & got a 10 meter hose.
In the cleaning instructions it says: "Loosen thumb screws, tip clamps back and tip tank lid down to one side. Loosen spray gun air cap about three turns then turn on the air supply. Cap cloth over air cap on the gun and pull trigger. This will force the material back through the hose, into the tank". Do you understand how this works? Is it using gravity? I guess not since it says to turn on the air supply again, however the lid is supposed to be off tank?. I will be using 2 part paint and purging the lines before cleaning with solvent will help greatly. Thanks for the videos and any advice.
Thanks Garry, bought one at a garage sale this morning for $5. It had been sitting in a garage never used so after watching your video looks like it's just what I am going to spray my garage with, cheers
Garry Purcell I was thinking about buying one Gary & after watching yor video sort of help me confirm my intentions. So im very grateful to you mate. Huge thanks mate
Would it be possible to put a 1-gallon can inside the pressure pot without pouring it into the pot? Just wondering if cleanup could be made easier that way.
Hi Ross These are indeed a briliant unit, and make very short work of any large spray painting jobs. Just make sure you check all your connections, before you run any paint through it, especially for the first time. Remember to take your time initally, and you'll pick up the natural rythym of the spraygun, and before you know it, you'll be finished the job, and packing up.
Hi Garry, Thanks for taking the time to run us all through the workings. I was wondering however, is this unit ONLY to be used for water based paint or can paint and thinners be run through it as well? I am looking to paint a bus I have and this size unit would make the job soooo much simpler and quicker but automotive paint is quite different to what you have shown. Cheers Mike
You can run oil based paints, but cleanup is messier, if that helps. I'm not sure how this system would work with automotive paints. I'd suggest you contact your paint supplier, and ask them for advice.
Hi Garry, I’ve just read one of the comments on here about Oil based paint.. I’m actually setting up my spray pot now to paint my chassis on me prime mover, but now not sure. I’ll probably have to ring someone at Supercheap just to make sure it’s ok to use Oil based paint. Also I have a 2.5 hp / 50 LT air compressor is that sufficient enough? Look forward for your reply cheers.
@@GarryPurcell and would still function properly if i put a longer hose for the gun so I don't have to take the tank with me on the roof or if i adjust the pressure it will work Thank you
Well done - and thanks for the clear instructions. Did you do a whole fence with 10L and how long is that fence? 25 metres - one or 2 coats? I have 3 fences to paint so might take 30L
Hi Gary good job. But do get yourself a new pair of safety glasses. I do remember wearing those type of plastic goggles they steam up as soon as you put them on. Good-day fella
Hi Garry, great video. Did the wee compressor manage to keep up with the sprayer? I have a very similar job to do and I have a v-twin belt drive compressor as well as a similar one to yours. I was thinking of using a Y-junction to increase my cfm and minimise the compressor catch up time.
@@csabi72 I had one of those, and I think I still have it in my garage. There is no comparison between the spray patterns, and time taken to paint a large surface. But if that's all you can afford, and the jobs not to big, the airless sprayer should be OK.

A Wally with a spray gun well he's certainly no top gun, why water the paint down no need to do that, now a Wally with a paint brush, you spend all that money on a spray unit and then end up using a paint brush, priceless. R.
Hmmm let me see, I used a water based paint for the fence at 100% strength, and the only water I used was for cleaning the sprayer after using it. I assume you have never painted a raw fence in your life before.
Finally some real ozy put instructions on u tube . Nice job honestly
Thank you for your kind words.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask ands I'll do my best to answer them.

Sounds like a good upgrade.
really good you tube video. you definitely explained more than the manufacture
Glad you liked it!

I found the spray tank easy to clean, and the spray gun needed a bit more effort with the hoses and gun itself.

WOW thats a bargain of the year.
Well spotted. 😀
P.S. You will be finished painting your garage in no time at all.
Great video Good job.
Glad you enjoyed it
I want to buy one of those to water my plants. I think they will be pleased with how evenly the water is sprayed on them.
That would be an expensive plant watering system😅 haha

Thanks Gary very helpful video. Cheers mate

It's hard to get used to those sprayers but they work wonders.
Its amazing just how fast the are in action.
Would it be possible to put a 1-gallon can inside the pressure pot without pouring it into the pot? Just wondering if cleanup could be made easier that way.
Cans can fit inside the pot, but I don't think it would make a lot of difference when it comes to cleanup.
Thanks very much, wife painting our house with one, great little machine, great to know the pressure settings
Nice to know you found my video usefull.
Its amazing just how fast you can paint large areas with this spray gun.
Brilliant video. just got one, never use one before. Again thanks

No problem!
Brantgefährlich!!!!!!!
Wie so?
Hi Garry
Can you apply this method to spray roof tiles/metal sheets
Thanks
I don't see nay reason why you couldn't.
You just need to adjust the spay nozzle, and get the pressure right.
@@GarryPurcell and would still function properly if i put a longer hose for the gun so I don't have to take the tank with me on the roof or if i adjust the pressure it will work
Thank you
Hi, I've paint a roof tiles about 360 square metres, for two coats took 120 litre of paint
Hi can i know what is your air compressor?3hp?
I use a BlackRidge 185 LPM Belt Driven 2.5hp Portable Air Compressor.
Well done - and thanks for the clear instructions.
Did you do a whole fence with 10L and how long is that fence? 25 metres - one or 2 coats?
I have 3 fences to paint so might take 30L
Hi, I did one solid coat, and used 12 litres to do the 42 metre
Hope that helps.
Hi Garry , nice job 👍
What is the name of the Gun ?
Does it come with the pot ?
Can I extend the hoses to 15 feet?
Hi that is what i am dooing.
Hi Gary good job. But do get yourself a new pair of safety glasses. I do remember wearing those type of plastic goggles they steam up as soon as you put them on. Good-day fella
Thanks for the advice about the safety glasses.
Kompresor hp???
The one I used is a 2.5hp with 185lpm air flow.
Now all you need is some used engine oil mixed with some diesel and those fence panels will be good for another 50 years!
Reminds me of the olden days, haha.
Water base?
Yes, its fence water based paint.
Hi Garry, great video.
Did the wee compressor manage to keep up with the sprayer?
I have a very similar job to do and I have a v-twin belt drive compressor as well as a similar one to yours. I was thinking of using a Y-junction to increase my cfm and minimise the compressor catch up time.
The compressor kept up with the usage easily.
😀👍
Glad you like my video.
Where did you buy this from
BlackRidge products are available from any "SuperCheap Auto" outlet.
There is a link in the video description above
@@GarryPurcell thanks mate
Do u need a compressor?
Just don't get why is there a pressure pot if the compressor running all the time
It's a large paint reservoir. (Upto 10 litres at a time)
@@GarryPurcell ok, so a simple airless sprayer then better right, u can put the hose in any size tank or bucket
@@csabi72 I had one of those, and I think I still have it in my garage.
There is no comparison between the spray patterns, and time taken to paint a large surface.
But if that's all you can afford, and the jobs not to big, the airless sprayer should be OK.
You look very awkward, glad you didn't trip over yourself🙈 thx for the vid

On a small area, I'd agree with you 🙂
On a large area, such as a fence or an outside wall on a house, I'd stick with the 10 litre spray system.
DONT SPRAY IN THE SUNSHINE!!! paint should cure slowly, for bonding purposes...
I used fence paint, its a lot thinner than normal outdoor paint, its more like a thick stain.
@@GarryPurcell I knew that it was a solid stain... done in the shade, the stain has more time to bond(sink in being a stain, and cure)... Ive been painting professionally since 75'... Your a good sport... It was a good video, I enjoyed it... Thank you

get a roller and a six pack....chill
On a side note.
When I look at my stomach.
I know I have a six pack hidden inside the fridge I see. haha
cero práctica!! ;(
Nunca dije lo contrario.
Esto fue simplemente una demostración del dispositivo en un entorno práctico.

Hahaha, coming from an expert no doubt.
