      Hey guys, I'm not a painter but wanted to help our kids pedal prix team and paint their trike.
      I use a hvlp gun, wide open fluid, about the hand span fan and around 28 psi at the reg on my gun ( cheaper one) with a1.4 mm tip.
      I e bed up with some good shots, but some orange peel aswell.
      What settings for a Colourthane 2pack whine using a hvlp gun please.

    V&G auto free lesson is great. Mario really explains what needs to be done from start to finish. With just one of this lesson i managed to paint my car bumper saving me about $350.00. I even got paint made by V&G Auto in a spray can. The result was great. Thanks Rakesh.

    Ive watched this video a few times over the years, now currently doing test samples to paint a friends car and im back for a refresher. this has to be one of the best videos out there. Its good to hear someone who isnt just rabbiting on about turning the fluid and the air all the way out

  • @vixyman
    @vixyman 3 роки тому +1

    I used my paint gun for the first time today and all I could hear was Mario saying "hand span fan" from when I watched this months ago. Genuinely made the painting successful.

    Today i bought my first spraygun. I have dreaming so many years to teach myself to paint with spraygun. I have watched many of your videos and i have learnt so much. So i have to say THANK YOU. Can´t wait that day when i will test my spray gun. :)
    Your videos are useful for people like me So keep it going!

  • @customspraymods
    @customspraymods  12 років тому +1

    the correct method is to keep the spray gun straight toward the panel, this is so the metallics and pearls go down even. It also ensures you get even coverage over the whole panel. flicking your wrist is ok if the gun is off the panel your painting.

  • @customspraymods
    @customspraymods  10 років тому +12

    Herbrata Moeljo Mario normally recommends 2.5 turns of the fluid dial. Other painters say turn it all the way out. It is personal preference and is suited to your spray technique. All paints should have a recommended spraying viscosity if you can get a viscosity cup (a measured cup with a calibrated hole that is used to time in seconds how long it takes for the mixed and thinned paint to empty) and have the correct mixture then it helps with the fluid levels. Hope this helps.

    good job making the video mate, note when you screw the adjuster in don't go too tight, just make contact or the needle will get damaged, to check for damage look for a ridge on the needle where it meeys the seat.

    Hey, you can paint straight over the black panels after sanding with 800g wet but they really should be primed for the best result. Use a primer suitable for your topcoat. Bare plastic parts should always be primed with plastic primer. If they are already primed then your good to go.

  • @doctorbillzable
    @doctorbillzable 10 років тому

    Adjusting a spray gun depends on the gun type. HVLP guns use much less air pressure. My gun is a Jaguar, I back the fluid out 1 [and a little more] turns, and use about 8-10 psi. You get a lot less over spray every where, and use [waste] way less paint. I did an experiment once and the conventional [non HVLP] used almost twice the paint as the HVLP. It mostly into the air, rather on the part I was painting.

    Why didn't I youtube first??? My paint job came out horrible because 1.) My spread was way too narrow, 2.) not enough paint was flowing out, 3.) I set the air pressure without pulling the trigger on the paint gun, and 4.) I didn't know which size nozzle to use.Thanks for posting this video this really helped me out!!!

    @herbratamoeljo5076 10 років тому

    To achieve the air pressure correctly, we can adjust the air pressure control gauge and reading the number on it.
    To achieve the width spread correctly, we can adjust the spreader adjustment valve and measure how width it is (by inch or cm).
    To achieve the correct distance between gun and the surfave, we can measure it (by inch or cm).
    But how to achieve the correct fluid debit or velocity?
    What is the best indication / direction in adjusting the fluid control and how to know if the volume of the fluid's spray is right and properly? (whether is too much or too little?)

Also have you had any feedback from customers re All U Need Primer. Cheers and Thanks,Rob.

    • @customspraymods
      @customspraymods  10 років тому

      Hello,
      If you are using 1K Acrylic paints you dont really need a clear just sand and buff. The All U Need primer is great and we have had really good feedback. Makes sure you dont use wax and grease remover before or after using it. Just wipe clean and spray.

Thank you
