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, .
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
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
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
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!! ❤
@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.
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!
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.
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👍
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.
I have been learning custom paint for a long time, the amount of benefit I have found from this guy is huge and in a short time,❤❤❤ also what makes giving a perfect psi number more difficult is the condition of the paint in terms of whether it is too thin or clotted
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!
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).
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….
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
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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 !
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.
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
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
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
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 .
Agreeing with the video. Before I started painting, and having only a 20 gal/175 psi comp, I thought I could use my hose volume as an extra supply of high pressure air and that the regulator on the gun could step that down to a precise 22 psi for me. I did some testing amd proved to myself that this DOES NOT WORK! Reasons: 1. the gun regulator cannot handle that large a delta P with any precision, and 2. even if your gun regulator could handle such a high delta P, the hose pressure will drop tremendously as the compressor’s tank pressure drops - it will not stay at that high pressure. So your gun regulator is going to play hell because its inlet pressure is dropping continuously and by a LOT. Exactly as the video says, I keep my hose pressure at 45-50 psi and I try to get my coats done before the tank pressure drops to that pressure because below that pressure, my air delivery will start to change because the delta P at the gunis not longer more or less constant. This and pre-shoot patterning on the wall have kept me from screwing up so far. So yeah this is why larger volume tanks and higher cfm compressors help you cover more surface area per coat.
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 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!
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
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.
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.
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
Again learning something new. I always painted high pressure.. now I'll go set my itelco at 29psi as you showed. My uncle told me to spray at low pressure. Biggest mistake. I end up becoming a paint reaction manager or call my self Mr reaction. Just last night got solvent pop because pressure to low, to much paint at time. I managed to solve it somewhat at the end. I have 100 litre compressor. I use to always paint on 45psi. Good call
Ah how i miss those white board and white sheet paper to talk about gun air pressure theory. Good job Brian. Just like oldskool days. Love it like in a paint classroom listening to the teacher talking about paint theory haha.
Excellent video! Now I need to check my pattern. Not sure if the gauge in the booth is wrong but I have to keep the reg on the wall quite a lot higher than the gun or I will lose too much pressure. Your channel is excellent for novice painters like me.
Thanks for the video. I have to ask why you finish the edges last. I have always taught my apprentices to coat the edges first so as to avoid dry overspray from spoiling the main surface area.
The only issue with running gun pressure at the wall is when you want to blow off the panel or vehicle.. it sucks having low pressure for that. But you are definitely right.. it’s the way to go and I’ll probably adjust mine down some more after watching
DV-1 clear gun 1.3 tip 18 psi 3 1/2 turns on the fluid, fan wide open then 1/4 turn back 4-5 inches away with a nice overlap. Comes out like glass 4:1 acrylic urethane no reducer. I always used Sata but after using the DV-1 clear gun I will be retiring my sata just for base
Thanks, Brian. As your other followers have said. You explained everything very well. I'm a complete novice to paint spraying. I'll study your other videos. Something that concerns me, and I can't find a definitive answer to, is. Do you clean the gun after each coat? I've bought an Ani R160-Q gun and although it's not top-of-the-range, I don't want to end up ruining it. This will obviously depend on the type of paint being used. I design and make bespoke alcove cabinets so will only be painting MDF and prefer to use water-based paints. Can you advise please?
Another great video thanks for all of the information I've learned so much and my painting shows come March will be the big test I'm going to respray my silverado it's rainforest green metallic can't wait for the paint to get here
About the psi at the compressor... At home i tried using my supernovas and in order to actually maintain 26-30 for clear , i did have to bump it at like 110 because otherwise it would not bump at the gun for some reason. Not sure if it was a regulator issue, but tried with 2 of them, also iwatas and had the same result. But when using the lph400 i didn't need to. I know the lph and novas CFM requirements are quite different, my guess was that because of THAT , is that i had to keep higher psi at the wall. Compressor is 60g/13cfm or so.
Brilliant once again . Thank you Brian. Out of all the other painting channel's on the tube I followed. I only follow 2 now. You have explained in very easy terms for the novice just how to. That is confidence in tackling this process. I can't thank you enough. I do have one question Dv1 base Dv1 clear?? Why the 4600 for clear? Does the Dv1 clear not give factory orange peel?
When you set pressure on the wall I like the trick Kevin tetez uses a gauge in a air fitting block that has that plugs into the end of the hose so you know exactly what pressure is at end of the hose just before the gun with air triggered on....just because I may use a 25ft or longer hose on a big job from the wall.
Love your tips and trick Brian. When you were spraying clear were you full throttle? Btw i love the Sagola 4600 trophy truck, its sprays so beautifully
@@PaintSociety i know you always set your guns to wide open, so would the result be the same if you adjusted the fluid tip to 85% and held the trigger wide open? Also another question. I see on the market theres touch up guns basically mini versions of the full size. Tip size in 0.8. Do you ever use them?
Love the content, very informative! I do have a question though. What is the reason for checking the air pressure with only air coming out? Doesn't the pressure drop when the paint is coming out? I figured you would want to measure the pressure while spraying the actual paint.
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, .
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 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
This is one of the best automotive channels on UA-cam and Brian should have multiple awards on his mantle.

Great to hear!
You are just a perfect human being ever i saw .
I like you too much my brother

Brian you are a great teacher. Another great video!
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.
Your videos give me the confidence to paint at home!! Thanks Brian
Very informative, thank you for taking the time to explain what the different textures mean and how to correct them.
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.
My paint jobs are definitely coming out better after watching your videos. You're the best instructor.
Thanks for the tip on setting pressure for the paint gun
Nice to learn from an ACTUAL PRO. thank you
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!
Since I only paint a car on average every 4-5 years, I thank you for reminders because I forget so much every time I start a new project.
You are so welcome!
Great job. Learned several points in this video. Liked your explanation and visual of how spray pattern and droplet size should look.
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.
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!
Again learning something new. I always painted high pressure.. now I'll go set my itelco at 29psi as you showed. My uncle told me to spray at low pressure. Biggest mistake. I end up becoming a paint reaction manager or call my self Mr reaction. Just last night got solvent pop because pressure to low, to much paint at time. I managed to solve it somewhat at the end. I have 100 litre compressor. I use to always paint on 45psi. Good call
You are the very best thanks for your knowledge that you are sharing with us
Ah how i miss those white board and white sheet paper to talk about gun air pressure theory. Good job Brian. Just like oldskool days. Love it like in a paint classroom listening to the teacher talking about paint theory haha.
Excellent video! Now I need to check my pattern. Not sure if the gauge in the booth is wrong but I have to keep the reg on the wall quite a lot higher than the gun or I will lose too much pressure. Your channel is excellent for novice painters like me.
me too my line pressure is 70lb to get 25lb at my gun regulator
@@vancecollom Maybe your air line is too small and not flowing enough air.
Thanks for this! I now know why my primer was all dusty when I sprayed it, too much air pressure
Thanks for the video. I have to ask why you finish the edges last. I have always taught my apprentices to coat the edges first so as to avoid dry overspray from spoiling the main surface area.
That's a nice looking parts rack you've got that door on.
Wouldn’t it be nice to see a detailed video on the parts rack?
Phillip Hall
God bless you and your family thank you for teaching us
Finally thanks for the video. Now I have some more detail in what way to adjust my paint gun.
First time i see this explained so well. Can't wait to try this out!
Thanks @PaintSociety
keep up the great content for us diyers!
Very good video, he just did not mention temperature. During high and low temps you run your pressures different, especially on clear coats.
Beginner here. Great tips
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
Thank you Brian ))) Super video! You are quite a good teacher!
The only issue with running gun pressure at the wall is when you want to blow off the panel or vehicle.. it sucks having low pressure for that. But you are definitely right.. it’s the way to go and I’ll probably adjust mine down some more after watching
Thanks for watching !!
Master at work. Thanks for such a professional lesson.
Brian this is a top notch video! Greatly appreciated!
DV-1 clear gun 1.3 tip 18 psi 3 1/2 turns on the fluid, fan wide open then 1/4 turn back 4-5 inches away with a nice overlap. Comes out like glass 4:1 acrylic urethane no reducer. I always used Sata but after using the DV-1 clear gun I will be retiring my sata just for base
Thanks, Brian. As your other followers have said. You explained everything very well. I'm a complete novice to paint spraying. I'll study your other videos. Something that concerns me, and I can't find a definitive answer to, is. Do you clean the gun after each coat? I've bought an Ani R160-Q gun and although it's not top-of-the-range, I don't want to end up ruining it. This will obviously depend on the type of paint being used. I design and make bespoke alcove cabinets so will only be painting MDF and prefer to use water-based paints. Can you advise please?
Your content is simply excellent...thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge
Wow very good video to watch. A lot of info that i have to learn from here. Thank you very much.
I’ve never painted anything in my life and I love watching every one of this guys videos lol
Thanks for watching !
Another great video thanks for all of the information I've learned so much and my painting shows come March will be the big test I'm going to respray my silverado it's rainforest green metallic can't wait for the paint to get here
Glad to help!
Great instructional technique and information.
About the psi at the compressor... At home i tried using my supernovas and in order to actually maintain 26-30 for clear , i did have to bump it at like 110 because otherwise it would not bump at the gun for some reason. Not sure if it was a regulator issue, but tried with 2 of them, also iwatas and had the same result. But when using the lph400 i didn't need to. I know the lph and novas CFM requirements are quite different, my guess was that because of THAT , is that i had to keep higher psi at the wall. Compressor is 60g/13cfm or so.
All good👍, could you pls help me to resolve the issue of regulater out put pressure getting fluctuates fallowing the compressor restarting.
Tks
Brilliant once again . Thank you Brian. Out of all the other painting channel's on the tube I followed. I only follow 2 now. You have explained in very easy terms for the novice just how to. That is confidence in tackling this process. I can't thank you enough. I do have one question Dv1 base Dv1 clear?? Why the 4600 for clear? Does the Dv1 clear not give factory orange peel?
the sagola 4600 is a beast !
Another Great Video. Thanks paint society!
Hi, if you coat half a panel in lacquer and then let it dry. Can you blend in the other half and get a flawless finish?
Thanks Brian !I needed this one about adjusting air pressure.
Glad to help
I’m looking to start painting at home. Would you think. A 50litre compressor with a 14.5cfm would be ok. Or go bigger.
Good job! Totally covered how to. Thanks.
Tops !!! Well explained … very informative 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hi Brian, good job. I need video about color adjustment. For example, if it is dark red, how do we make it lighter? And All colors.
Thanks.
When you set pressure on the wall I like the trick Kevin tetez uses a gauge in a air fitting block that has that plugs into the end of the hose so you know exactly what pressure is at end of the hose just before the gun with air triggered on....just because I may use a 25ft or longer hose on a big job from the wall.
Great well explained and helpful video…. Thanks Brian 👍
hi Brian, thanks for yours videos, i am new to painting what spray gun tip is better to use to paint car 1.2 -1.3 .thanks for your help
Awesome video to save to a UA-cam playlist for future reference 👍
Bloody awesome video Brian!! Luving the content immensely,
Glad you enjoy it!
Love your tips and trick Brian. When you were spraying clear were you full throttle? Btw i love the Sagola 4600 trophy truck, its sprays so beautifully
That’s a great topic for a video. I’m about 85%
@@PaintSociety i know you always set your guns to wide open, so would the result be the same if you adjusted the fluid tip to 85% and held the trigger wide open? Also another question. I see on the market theres touch up guns basically mini versions of the full size. Tip size in 0.8. Do you ever use them?
You are a great teacher
Love the content, very informative!
I do have a question though. What is the reason for checking the air pressure with only air coming out? Doesn't the pressure drop when the paint is coming out? I figured you would want to measure the pressure while spraying the actual paint.
Nope. It stays the same just as long as you’re adjusting with the spray gun handle half way right before you let fluid out
