HVLP - how to set it up
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 вер 2024
- Here I'm showing you how I set up my QT5 HVLP Suction feed pot and how I fit the remote pot to your QT5 HVLP sprayer, when needed.
HVLP means High Volume Low Pressure.
Learning how to set up the HVLP and using it will/should speed your paint application up on kitchens, bedroom furniture, doors, woodwork, windows etc.
On a room I can get 3 and 4 coats on in a day.. using water based paints. Something I wouldn't dream of when using a brush.
It gives a finer finish than airless and a far superior finish over brush... meaning you will benefit for a better finish for your customer allowing you to be one set ahead of your competition... and hopefully it allows you to earn more!!!
(UK prices)
The QTech Stage 5 HVLP is about £900
a remote pot set up about £240
and a different needle set is approx £50

Good teacher whose presentation is clear, informative, insightful...thank You
I think you’re videos are very informative, and to the point NO faffing about, even though I’ll never use this kind of sprayer, I do use a electric type, for diy up cycling furniture, and the principle is the same. Now having seen this video, I understand the dials and adjustments better . Thanks from a 72 year lady DIYER.
Thank you for the kind words.
Have you seen my videos on the £40 and £65 hvlp Sprayers from Screwfix... You may like those too
I think the most indecisive person has finally decided ! Great explanation 😃👍🏻
Good man ;)
I like what you said about people think painters and decorators are the lowest in the trades; and that we fix other peoples mistakes; I have a rule; I will not take low prices, and I said my price is pretty high because we’re in it to make a lot of money
i've given you a mention in my next new video.. and done a link to your channel ;)
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator wow Phil. Thank you sir. I appreciate that
Hi mate. I just bought a new hvlp spray gun (suction). As my current gravity feed gun is falling apart! I've been looking online to see how to connect my air feed valve onto the gun.. and was struggling!.. Thankfully I found your video (otherwise I would have setup the valve backwards) Anyways just wanted to say, what a great video and explanation. Thanks for the help. ❤
it's what I'm here for :)
A Joy to watch your videos phil I’m getting into this also being a decorator I made the decision to get into spraying a while ago and got myself the Gxff yet to use it watching your videos helps so much keep them coming mate 🤩
The Gxff is great. I've got mine out today too.
Some ceilings and also more paneling to spray. There's a video of me using it a few months back. .. same job.. just another room.
Good video mate I’ve just bought one so came straight to this video, only thing I’d say would be to get all the kit in the shot when you assemble it. Thanks for posting 👍🏼 very helpful
Hi. It's awesome kit.
Check the other hvlp videos I've done. You may see it there.
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator brilliant thanks Phil will do 👍🏼👍🏼
your videos are spot on Phil,,,funny too,,keep up the good work,and i hope you get the porche,,,!!!,,,lol,,,,thanks,!
Thanks Phil, i will give it ago tommorow.
Nice one Phil, Nate snow from the forum, great video and very simple guide
Enjoyed your explanation. I have an HVLP unit from the late 90's with the extra pot and a nice Graco gun that was given to me awhile back, and I'm going to give it a go.
Cool. I bet the gun looks very similar? Is your set up using a compressor or a turbine like mine?
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator Gun is a Graco 710. Turbine is a Graco CX12- a big, bulky machine but seems well made and a lot of power. From what I can find online, this was a pretty high end setup back in the day.
@@davidlee3187 sounds ideal.
Great informative video Phil, I've the fuji 5 minimite with remote pot and all info is relatable 👌 having spare check valves and seals for the cup guns is important to prevent down time. Also I added a remote control socket to switch of and on the turbine as my model hasn't remote start like the graco ones. As you say there a money maker and would highly recommend the hvlp to your kit 👌 Thanks for spreading the word.
The remote switches are handy. It's good to mention that.
I'm just trying to show ppl that there is money to be made and it's not all about slapping paint on and on to the next.
Great video phil thanks for the advice.🙂👍
No problem 👍
Very good Phil
Brilliant video Phil, you couldn’t of explained that any better, had my Qtech 5 a few weeks , my upgraded from a Wagner 3500hplv, now feel more confident, taking it apart etc. Qtech should send u some goodies or car mats for when u get ur Porsche 👍😁
Glad it helped
Car mats, awesome lol
What a few other videos I've done, where I use the HVLP QT5, I show you it in action and how it works with the dials.. using it with paint, I think you'll like those too.
Subscribe.. like and share ;)
Thanks Phil great video 👍
Thanks
Very informative Phill and explained how much extra thinning is needed because you have to knock it down a bit to get it to spray at the best of times 👍
Hi. If out the suction pot, it can be trial and error depending on how the the paint is to start with.
I like it to be thixk enough when water is added to run off the mixing stick back into the paint and it doesn't sit on the surface for too long.
It's easier to add more water than take it away.
I do say that with the remote pot I have to thin it more as I find if it's still too thick it really struggles to get up through the paint hose.
A bit if practice you soon work out what paint needs more water.
Paints I use...
AllCoat exterior is a lovely paint to spray using a 1.8 needle set and some water added ;)
Helmi can spray nicely with a 1.5 Needle set.... If 8ts a bit thick you can go to the 1.8 if you feel the need.
Nice and concise.
Great video very helpful love your video's .Thanks
Thanks for sharing Phil 👍
Good insight thanks. I just cannot decide on the Qtech or a Graco 9.0, or even break the bank and go Graco 9.5.
Weirdly I can't seem to find too many regular people giving reviews of the Q5, only folks who are selling them.
I'm a regular lol
Love mine, pair it with a remote pot and you'll not look back.
Have you seen the videos where I'm using the QT5?
I was originally going to buy the Grace gx ff but you have me thinking now that I may want to get one of these 👌
oh, Gavin..... depending what you spray.. having both is best of both worlds. Check out what deal you can get if you buy both at the same time.... or what they can throw in... 1.8 needle is handy on the HVLP if it comes with a 1.5
With the airless... get some other tips as well. ;)
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator After you mentioning the painting and decorating show last week on here I have got my tickets and Im driving down from Scotland 👌 Im just new to all the spraying so it will definitely be a worth while trip to speak face to face to the experts 👍🏻
@@GavinMcC the people you need to see will be there. It's a good show.. if that what you're interested in lol
awesome info paul ... in fact i have the same machine on the way for my first hvlp as im looking in to upgradeing waredrobes and kitchen units ect 👍
Who's Paul?
It's a great bit of kit.. have you ordered tye remote pot too?
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator sorry🤦🏻♂️ i follow so many top class painters and decorators like candle man ect .... na not yet waching your video im on the case now thanks 👍
@@garethdavies7564 Mark??... Who works on building sites?
Hi Phil.I think your videos are brilliant,and your work looks top notch👌.
I am a car sprayer of 20 years.
I have all guns needed for that trade.primer guns,laquer,base (both water and solvent) etc.
I used devilbiss (hvlp gravity fed) my primer gun is a 1.4.
Which I think would be ok for this process.
I currently have in my shed a Clarke 150 litre compressor ( I used to use this for smart repairs when I wasn’t lazy on weekends)
This is something I would like to get into(I’ve been asked by several people if it’s something I would do for them)
I like the look of the Qt 5
But I want to see if it’s viable for the amount I would probably do.
My question is.would the set up I can scrape together already give me a good gauge of if it’s something I could do long term before investing ?
Thank you 👍
Give what you have a try first, a 1.5 and 1.8 needle will be handy.
The advantage of the Qt 5 is that it easy to transport about.
Don't spend till you know you need... Or want it ;)
Thank you for the reply 👍
Thank you for the reply.I admire your work and honesty 👍
Tips from customers! I often have to remind them to pay lol
Well done Phil! Great video👌👍 Do you know why i got more paint on the side and less on the middle? It’s not really the same all the time,what causes this?
Thank you so much!
Make sure the needle orifices and air cap holes are clean and not blocked
Hey Phil,
Great video and is very helpful !
Do you have video how to set up HVLP gun to compressor and pressure pot powered by compressor.
I damage my spray gun until I set it up...
Have a look in the hvlp playlist. I have a compressor I talk you through. Does that help?
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator
Thanks for your reply.
Actually i have no problems using pressure pot connected to turbine, because you can't damage the spray gun.
The compressor confused me because there is a pressure regulators.
Can you recommend any digital pressure regulator for spray gun ?
Thanks
Thanks
What I would say is don't get hung up on the numbers.... As long as the spray fan is nice, no tails ect and a nice even coverage.... Not too thick... Will look a pimple effect.. too thin will run.
Morning Phil what’s a 1.8 in Graco they use numbers plus what’s the secret to keeping the dust down or is it you can’t ??? Great vids👍🏻
Hi. Not sure on the Graco.
Dust.... The turbine blowing does whip up general dust in around the room TBH.
But on the spray... Turn down the air flow slightly so it's not at full flow air.
But keep it enough that the paint atomises.
How does this unit compare to the grace 9.5
New to spraying
So just wondering if you have tried both
There much of a muchness. Personal preference.. do the same thing. Look at both
I'm very happy with the Qt5. Add the remote pot and you're well away.
Great concise video mate, would a 3 stage be adequate for kitchens cabinets, upvc windows, garage doors etc,? I understand that 5 stage is best but it's so expensive. Thank you
Hi. I did my kitchen with my previous HVLP.. a stage 3.
Just thin a bit more as it's not the power of a stage 5.
I'd say bite the bullet.. get the best you can then you won't be wondering what you could be missing out on.
Hey Phil thanks for doing all your videos really helps break everything down.
Looking at getting my first ever hvlp set up. Would like to start spraying internal furniture also upvc doors and windows. Would you still recommend the Q5 turbine ? would it be able to do everything I mentioned. The gun can it be used for both gravity and pressured ? thanks in advance 👍
That QT5, stage 5 hvlp would be ideal. Have you seem me using it for upvc as well?
Thanks Phil
Yep watched quite a few of your videos now thanks. Got 2 days training on hvlp and on an airless in December hoping to add this to the company expand. If I can figure out how to send a pic I would appreciate your advice thanks 😊
@@dannylloyd8464 hi, who with and where did you do your course? Was it worthwhile? Thanks
Hello Phil, I bought myself a Q5 and have sprayed a few bits. I am doing up my bathroom and managed to get a cast iron bath tub from facebook market place. I am looking to refinish the inside of the bath but I am getting a bit confused on what paint I should be buying? Any clues?
I saw one video where they used marine paint I believe called AWLGRIP
Oooh that's something I've no idea on.
I do know you can buy refinishing kits, Google may be your friend on that one.
They'll be something out there.
I'm more into painting the outside of a roll top bath lol
Seen that video?
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator Thanks for your help. Saw your video on the outside of the bath and will be using your tutorial 🙂
I cant think why a marine paint designed for a hull would not work other than maybe the heat. I watched a guy here ua-cam.com/video/nyqoIqhOKzM/v-deo.html who seemed to be using AWLGRIP with a HVLP gun
I would be much obliged if you could do a video on marine paint! Maybe get yourself a yatch and use your Qtech 🤣
@@James-dv1df will a power boat be ok?
That's coming after the Porsche
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator Not sure if your too interested however found out some more today.
AWLCraft 2000 Looks quite expensive around £390 for the paint, converter, thinner and primer for just 1Quartz of paint.
Looked at alternative called alexseal 501 which is the main competitor too AWLGRIP AWLCRAFT 2000 also designed for painting the top sides of boats. Phoned the Alexseal parent company mankiewicz who were very helpful. They said AWLGRIP and Alexseal are likely not the right paint although other have used for this purpose however they have another paint sold by mankiewicz designed for swimming pools that would be designed for this purpose.
Phoned a few specialists as was thinking that might be a better option however prices range from £500 too 905 without the outside being painted which would be another £250.
One thing I found strange is these specialists say they will only spray in your house but is that appropriate as most of these options seem to be 2k polyurethane paints?
I love your Narration is brilliant mate, keep it up I’m following
Thanks, will do!
I’ve bought this, my gun flutters stood up right however I tilt the gun slightly to left or right it sprays perfectly. Any ideas why it’s doing it, I’ve tightened the nozzle too!?
Back to basics I always say. Remove everything and put it all back together checking it all.
Also check to see where the position of the suction paint feed pipe is...
It's the brass looking pipe that goes into the paint pot... It has a slight bend at the bottom of it, where is that facing? I like mine to be facing forward.
Can I have a job.. I found the best thing to to is just ask... I'm 38.. Was a panel beater and sprayer for 14 years... Had some bad health.. I'm back fighting fit. I've bought the wagner 150m to get me going. Now I jyst need work.. I start a job I got of my own back tomorrow morning. £1250 for a few cinder lock garden walls.. Cheers
If you were in South Africa where can I find that specific gun and how much do you think it cost in and what is it called cuz I would like to use it when I'm the roof tile
Hi. Try a Google search where you are for a Stage 5 HVLP sprayer. See what comes up.
It's the stage 5 power of the unit that's the main thing to have.
Say if I have to thin down paint with water phill and I still have some left over on the job can I pour it back into my paint tub? I’ve just bought this system and what needles do I need for what products like would 1.5 spray primer?
Watch a few more of my HVLP and spray vid.
Left over paint I tip back.. and write on the lid it's thinned. So I know for next time.
Do you have a link for the filter that is on the end of your feed pipe
Do a search for HVLP Fuji QT5 filters.. there's loads. About £10 for a pack
Hi Phil, I have the fuji 5 platinum but unfortunately thinking of putting in the shed, really struggling with paints, mainly for interior doors woodwork etc, any recommendations of good paints to use, how much water to be added etc, best needle size
Been a decorator for 35 years now and thought I'd give this spraying a go, got a airless, and love that on bigger jobs, just can't get to grips with this hvlp, which is a shame as alot of my customers are wanting work done with one these sprayers. Any advice would be appreciated, cheers Chris.
No!! it's an easy one to start with.
Paints... move over to Tikkurila Helmi or Everal Aqua.
add enough water, a bit at a time so it sprays easy and also lows out... 1.5 needle is fine,
check out my other videos using it ... see the video, ua-cam.com/video/CjmsvQtI1wg/v-deo.html
AllCoat exterior satin sprays well too.. 1.8 needle set. :)
hope that helps
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator Hi Phil, I will give it another go, after all the fuji platinum 5 is a lot of money just be put in the shed
Would like to know what gun your using as mine is a fuji 7001 m model, its very sensitive, ie the paint release, slightest touch and bang, too much paint, think that gun was meant to be for the semi pro, stage 2 fuji, would it make difference now its been use with my stage 5 unit, cheers Chris
No filter on suction tube on the remote pot?
that's right. but i do strain the paint anyway.. and thin it accordingly. Not had a problem.
good morning phil I'm thinking of getting q5...but I'm thinking about diluting paints...if paint says 10% dilution with solvent or water, can I add more and the amount...?doesn't it affect the paint especially the lacquer?
possible, depends on paint. Lacquer is very thin, so you may not need to thin much anyway.. a 1.3 needle set will be good.
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator in any case, the color needs to be thinned a lot... and can I put a color that says 10% thinner thinner too??from q5 are you satisfied???
What is the name of the drug were putting inside the big one and where do I get one in South Africa
does all this come as part of a kit or do you buy it all separately Phil?
the remote pot is a separate addition, but you ight get adeal somewhere if bought all together. Having a 1.8 & 1.5 needle set is very handy to have.
can you use qtech 5 hvlp to spray interior walls in domestic house?
Hi. No. It's not that type of unit. It's more woodwork, furniture..... uPVC ;)
Look at a Graco gxff airless... Or similar.
hi phill is the apollo pro spray 1500 any good for upvc windows do you know?
Hi. It's not something I've tried. Is that a stage 3 or 5?
I would say get a stage 5 though. Save and get the best you can.
I found a stage 3 struggled with thicker paint.
can the qtech use for spraying ceiling and interior walls?
No. You'd really want an airless for that
Hvlp, paint needs thinning and it's really for woodwork and furniture spraying.. stuff like that.
It isn't as quick as airless but does have more control and a finer finish.
Hey Phill does the fuji nozzles/needles fit in the qtech guns? Just noticed you got one in your's
That they do. I think it's virtually the same gun.
Needle and cap will be compatible.
I brought this 3 today, but the hose is so stiff. Is there a flexible hose at all?
Have you the same hoses I have?
@ProfessionalPainterDecorator really durable grey 1?
@@Barlowpaul97 what about the blue Flexi hose I have?
Is qtech q5 rebranded fuji
Hi. Not 100% sure, but I'd think it's about the same.
Morning phill hope your well, is it possible to use this hvlp to spray a whole house of Upvc windows? Or would you recommend me go with a compressor cheers mate :)
No problem with HVLP. It's ideal. Easy to move about too
Just want to thank you for all your help these past few months phill I appreciate it 🙏
@@Shortboxing47 tnx... Like and share... Like and share lol
Phil is this a 240v suction setup? Thanks
sorry Phil, You answered the question in the video 😂 I just asked too early. 👍🏻
You're forgiven lol
Phil have you got the remote pot for the QT5?
Yep. I talk about it on the vid
You haven’t missed the plot mate! You’ve lost the plot! Not wise 😂
LoL
Hey Phil any idea why did you go for a suction cup and not with a gravity one? Cheers
What gun and machine do I buy for a descent upvc paint spray set up ?
Have you seen my other video on conventional spray set up yet?
Either conventional or hvlp turbine set up is ideal
It also comes down to cost. What did you want to spend.
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator I will watch that video first
