I like the fact you explain the reason behind everything. For me that’s what a good teacher does.
so true ... many veterans would never truly teach you the 'ins and outs' ....
Thanks to this guy my GTO turned out great. The local paint shop wanted 3000 $ just to spray it, not including material. just material cost me a little over 1000$ and I did it myself, and I couldnt have done it without this guy, he doesnt waste time with anything that doesnt need to be said, .
This is one of the best automotive channels on UA-cam and Brian should have multiple awards on his mantle.
Thank you !
Thanks brian my 12 year old and my 15 year old just painted the body on my 69 camaro by themselfs with your videos on my driveway and it came out better than 15 years ago that was done by professional thank you
I loved these type of videos, especially if you don’t paint everyday or do it for a living. I may paint 2-3 panels a year. Lots of good reminders and tips you forgot about. Thanks
Totally agree!
Thank you Brian: I am a retired Army aircraft painter who knew nothing while working because no one knew enough to teach others. I have learned more watching your videos then I learned while working. Thank you. There sure is a lot to learn!! ❤
Me too just thinking of some touch up on our car.
😮😮
@PaintSociety sorry to bothered you but I have a 2005 honda civic 2 door coupe, I have taken off all body parts to sand and prime individual. I o ly have a 6 gallon craftsman air compressor, is that good enough to ,prime, paint, and clear since the hole car is in individual pieces. Thanks for your time.
Decades ago when I was painting, I mounted a true pressure regulator on my guns, not just a variable restriction valve as we see in the beginning. This was long before HVLP was invented, but maintaining the exact pressure to get perfect fan and atomization was just as important. With a true pressure regulator the difference indicated with trigger off, and full air flow, is virtually the same, not high pressure off, and way lower with flow. Setting the spray pressure with test pattern as we see here is a critical skill to develop. It only takes a few moments to adjust and look, adjust and look, then get to the job. This is a fantastic video! Makes me want to paint again, after 30 years away from the craft. I was part owner of a hi-fi speaker company. I painted thousands of cabinets with everthing from full automotive finishes to classic clear urethane clear wood finishes. Also painted guitars for a few luthiers, solids and metallics, even metal flakes. Lots of fun with the custom stuff👍👍
you are a great teacher. you explain everything very well. just spent my whole weeked watching your videos and tossed everything out of my head that i thought i knew about painting and starting over now. but its not a bad thing to just take a step back once in while and relearn something i like to do
thank you for all your great videos and tips
Dude, I watch your channel exclusively. I am done watching backyard auto body since I found you. Great job explaining detail. My daughter and I are restoring a 1988 Bronco she bought. I am in the middle of body work and constantly watching your instruction, in preparation for the upcoming paint. I feel confident that it will be a great paint job, thanks to you. Awesome channel. Thanks Bro!
Was it a great job?
I have only painted, 2 of my own cars . Soooo awesome to hear, a “PRO” , explain proper gun pressures. “THANK YOU BRIAN” !!!!! 🏆
Awesome vid👍 Like you say, "Don't overthink it, it's just paint". I'm just a self taught home painter and when I first started I stressed alot about what gun to get/what psi to use. I now look at what material I'm using, the viscosity taking into consideration how much it's thinned/mixed, the temperature of the material, ambient temperature, using an appropriate tip gun, and adjusting the psi/fan/fluid to get the right pattern/atomization. Spray guns are not complicated. They all spray paint they just have different tips and air caps that change the placement and size of the airholes. Some are better at certain jobs than others but all basically do the same thing albeit with some workarounds and fine tuning. I guess it is alot for beginners. I appreciate videos like this that break the info down for the beginner and a refresher for people who don't spray all the time like me👍
One of the best teaching videos Brian, awesome and learnt so much from it. Keep up the great work brother. Much respect
Hey Brian thank you so much for posting these tutorial videos! You are a natural teacher, and I can follow 100% of your explanations in the first time I watch
You're very welcome!
Excellent video!! As always Brian it's great how you go into so much detail, you are an outstanding instructor not only for diy people but also the men and women stating out in the trade. Keep the videos coming Thanks
Thank you Arnold !!
Hands down this is the best explanation I have seen for gun pressure.
Your videos give me the confidence to paint at home!! Thanks Brian
Best tutorial ever !!! Thankyou so much for the detailed step by step especially for newbies like me . 👍
This is some of the best content. THANK YOU BRIAN. Hardware info in a great package. Would love a similar vid on compressors and which ones would be enough, which ones wouldn’t, and how you apply their specs .
Awesome demonstration! Looking at the edges really made a difference in the changes made.
Glad it was helpful!
Very informative, thank you for taking the time to explain what the different textures mean and how to correct them.
Finally!!! This is the info i have been looking for this past 3 days.
I am having trouble with my new gun.
Now i can go correct my settings. Thank you
Brian you are a great teacher. Another great video!
Great job. Learned several points in this video. Liked your explanation and visual of how spray pattern and droplet size should look.
Thanks for your videos. I am painting my second car now with your video help. Mine isn't coming out as good as yours but for having a cheap gravity feed gun, painting outside and never painting a car before, I am quite pleased with my results. I have had project cars in the past that I never finished because I was to afraid to paint. But listening to you, don't over think it, it's just paint, made me do it. This one is a van I am painting 2 tone. If you haven't already, you should do a 2 tone video.
Just getting into this and found your video extremely useful! Thanks for taking the time to share your talent with the rest of us. I know I sure appreciate it!
Thanks for these excellent videos. As a first timer on painting I am also trawling the back catalogue. Basics videos like set up and cleaning have been really useful.
I would love to see how to paint a roof on a high SUV / Truck with a gravity gun. I am finding quite few challenges!
Brian , you do such a nice job with making these videos. By following your instructions I was able to see and understand why using the proper tip size is so crucial especially when spraying 2k primer . with the 1.3 tip I was getting a texture finish the spray pattern was to fine . I just wanted to get a little practice, as you always say consult with the manufacturer, I called them. They said I could reduce the product or switch to a 1.9 / 2.0 tip I am looking forward to doing a little practicing with everything set up properly….
Great video, and well explained. This is definitely going to help me get used to my new HVLP setup. I couldn't get my primer to spray yesterday. It was extremely slow coming out and did not fan properly. Adjusting the pressures didn't help with it. I assume it needed to be thinned. But today with the paint, I feel like I will be better prepared. Thank you
Thanks for the video. You taught me the relationship between air pressure, material volume and viscosity. When I've got the spray gun in my hand, and the work in front of me, that is what I want to understand; and how to make adjustments to achieve the optimum spray pattern. I have always re-sprayed my own car when required, but often have had too much pressure and too much volume, resulting in 'orange peel'. With acrylics, this takes ages to sand back because the coatings are so hard. On he strength of your advise, hope to get it right next time.
Thanks for the tip on setting pressure for the paint gun
I've watched many of Brian's videos, and to me this is one of the best. Thank you for the explanation on all of the settings
Glad it was helpful!
You have the best explained videos on the Tube.
Happy New Year Brian. Another V well explained video, simple and to the point with plenty of examples as usual. Loved the "back yard" spray can video too. This is how i do nearly all my painting, Will do more morning work in the future where possible to avoid the flies etc in the afternoon. Thanks again from the UK
Happy new year!
Master at work. Thanks for such a professional lesson.
your videos make me feel good in this work am from Gambia but am doing this work in Italy for 5years now and you make better and better you are really a teacher thanks bro
Nice to learn from an ACTUAL PRO. thank you
Thanks Brian, this is exactly the video that I needed to watch.
Great to hear!
Brian this is a top notch video! Greatly appreciated!
First time i see this explained so well. Can't wait to try this out!
Finally thanks for the video. Now I have some more detail in what way to adjust my paint gun.
Thanks @PaintSociety
keep up the great content for us diyers!
Thank you Brian for such an educational and informative video. I bought my first spray gun and am about to attempt to spray an engine compartment. I was just out in the shop messing with the gun and not knowing the first thing about what pressures to use. So checking UA-cam I found your video and now I'm feeling more confident about just doing it. I was overthinking it... it's just paint!
Great video as always Brian. One thing that I think it is very important for people to understand about the DV1.
It isn't that the gun is somehow magically able to spray at very low pressure, it's that the gauge on that gun is reading the pressure higher up inside the gun vs at the inlet. The inlet pressure from the wall is going to be similar to most other guns.
If you were to use the version of the DV1 that doesn't have the digital gauge and wanted to use a traditional gauge at the inlet or on the wall, you would set it up as Brian is demonstrating for guns in general (22-25psi to start).
if only people read the manual on the DV1 it would explain all of it, 15psi on its digital gauge is 29 psi on a standard gauge.
very good tips, thanks for your time!
God bless you and your family thank you for teaching us
man thanks to this videos funally painted a car very nice i painted a few cars before and always had runs or dry but this one my neighbor was very happy with the end results . thank you very very much.
BRIAN is the best of the industry' and a great teacher!!
Thank you for psi adjustment help.
Another Great Video. Thanks paint society!
Thank you Brian ))) Super video! You are quite a good teacher!
Your content is simply excellent...thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge
Absolutely brilliant as usual . Thanks very much !!!!
This is what I need to know. I'm about to try and paint my own truck for the first time. This is great information. Thank you
Good luck!
Mr Brian I love your videos you are a excellent instructor very very well put together thank you for your time and expense you take to help other people , God bless you my friend take care
You are vedio weri nisee Isar I larrnig oto penting
Thanks for the great explanation. I’ve never painted anything before other than a spray can or brush. Just learning to paint so I can do my old family tractor. Not concerned with looks, just good coverage without runs.
Tops !!! Well explained … very informative 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for all your help man!!
Thank you for this video. I learned a lot!!!!
Good job! Totally covered how to. Thanks.
Great instructional technique and information.
Hi. I watched your video regarding the pressure setting for spray guns. I really liked the video as it was very informative. Because my compressor specs wouldn't support your typical HVLP gun, I purchased a highly rated LVLP gun from Amazon. When I received the gun, it appeared to be solid and good quality. I noticed that the operating pressure range was between 29 and 50psi. That made me say hmmm... since you suggested starting out around 22psi. I must say that this was my FIRST paint project. I thought I was prepared for the project (a hood, bumper cover and spoiler) after watching a couple of your videos. The gun came with 3 tips/nozzles (1.3, 1.5, 1.7). The first item I painted was the bumper cover with the 1.3 tip and 40psi. The 40 gave a nice texture on paper and gave me a pretty decent paint with some minimal orange peel. I applied the clear coat with great results with some orange peel. My hood turned quite differently as I have quite a bit more orange peel. Overall, I believe the hood paint job is salvageable as I think color sanding will smooth it out.
I'm not sure, but could you recommend something different I could try with my LVLP gun to arrive at better results. I feel like my distance from gun to surface was mostly consistent but maybe my speed could've been adjusted... maybe slower or faster, I'm not sure.
Thank you.
This is excellent, I had problems with dry spray and uneven pattern on my last panels, i will have a go at this - I suspect my pressure was too high.
Thanks Brian !I needed this one about adjusting air pressure.
Glad to help
Awesome video to save to a UA-cam playlist for future reference 👍
I used to own a small restoration shop in New Haven Ohio. Back when Sata jet was all the rage. I hated that gun! Watching you has taught me a lot. I wonder now if it was the gun or the operator. I put out some great paint work, but I seemed to fight it nonstop.. Thanks for your content !
Excellent explanation learnt a lot
great videos everytime man!keep up! I me a pro painter and admire your work and your videos

Thank you for your valuable knowledge. you are my teacher
Great demonstrations.
Exellent educational video. Thanks for sharing.
Great lesson. Thank you.
Hello Brian, I'm zaly from Indonesia..
Thanks for exercise Brian.. paint society is a great channel for Learn how to set up spray gun, how to set up the air, and how to set up the best finish clear coat...
When I start to be a good painter, I watch your channel..
Thanks you so much Brian.. God bless you..
And once more, I need your permission to used words
"don't overthinking, it's just paint"
Thanks for the abundance of information. One thing though as a diy we don't have different guns for the 3 applications. It would be great to use one gun and show us.
GOOD JOB....appreciate the detail explanation...
First, I love your videos. You mention that the DV1 sprays at a lower pressure but I noticed the digital gauge is close to the air cap. I recall taking a seminar years ago and I think it was PPG that gave a very low PSI rating and the instructor explained that this low pressure was AT THE AIR CAP and then explained that no gun (at that time) had the ability to measure pressure at the cap therefore the tech sheet psi was very misleading and was causing problems for people. I just went online and found the manual for the DV1 and there is a chart in it that says that inlet to the gun of 29 psi equals 15 psi at the digital gauge. So in reality, it doesn't spray at a lower pressure, it simply displays the lower pressure which is present at the air cap which is something all guns could benefit from in my opinion as it removes the pressure drop between the two which would be different for each gun.
Excellant explanation of process and easy n simple to understand for the not expert learner like me .brian you a legend n you the man
Man i am 61years old and my binks gun is old school and got a Deville s i was wrong in the air hose , fittings i got my paint supplier too get it right and your show got me back to spraying again
Bloody awesome video Brian!! Luving the content immensely,
Glad you enjoy it!
Nice job thank you for teaching us.
Fantastic video, I've always struggled with getting the gun to the sweet spot.
You are a great teacher
This is overwhelmingly helpful. Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
I'm really enjoying these videos, as I prepare to rid myself of the '93 Capri that's been taking up space in my barn for six years. One thing, though: your motto is "don't overthink it; it's just paint." And then every word out of your mouth contradicts that!
Thanks you that was a great video explaining everything! Love your videos! Thank you so much!
Great video thanks for explaining everything bro! Big thumbs up
Excellent explanation, been struggling with this exact part for a long time.
Thank you!
THANK YOU FOR THE TIPS
Great video. Very informative for me.
Your videos are awesome iv learned a lot from all ur vids
Thank you for that information that was very helpful. Thanks
I'm a hobbyist watching these videos (using an Iwata PS-290 and spraying small items) and seeing the same thing with droplet size, the larger droplets are just not blending well together. It's such a fine balance with the air pressure, paint viscosity and spray distance/speed. Thanks for the explanations.
Wow very good video to watch. A lot of info that i have to learn from here. Thank you very much.
A lot of great info, thank you !
Thanks very much try it works perfectly
Thank you for the info, bless your heart
