Thank you Brian and I deeply respect the wisdom of words: "A good painter with a bad spray gun is better than a bad painter with a good spray gun" Because our first priority should always be to become better painters, owners of better guns is only second

Great spray gun User tip The fluid needle spring is really stiff and makes it hard to turn the knob to adjust the fluid I replaced it with a spring out of an R500 Same spring used in Iwata LPH/W400's I have both and compared both springs Alot less tension and let's the fluid knob to turn smooth and easy
Comment from : @MarcBchannel

Brian, did you change setting on the gun at all for spraying clear? or stick with same settings from Basecoat ?

Comment from : @timgiesin4025

I love watching your video'sinformative, honest, and down to earth!!! I agree with youthe equipment is part of the outcome, and the skill of the painter is the balance!
Comment from : @tomturnipseed2541

Dude just dry sprayed everything by doing the cut ins last lol This gun is crap and he's got his settings on full blast right now to try to mimic a $200 spray gun, but it took him double the time Just buy the FLG for like $200 instead and you will never go wrong as a DIY gunbrbrThese are $50 guns in High-teck brand too I have like 8 different guns ranging from $50 to $800 DVI that I use and I've never had to do that many passes in a single coat lmao

Comment from : @andrewcalixte2945

You make it seem like the gun will not atomize properly
Comment from : @markprieto8141

Hey Brian! Is there an all in one knock off paint stand on Amazon that you can recommend that don’t take up a lot of room for storage that is pretty much an all in one kinda stand? One that you can hang a fender or two on or a door or a hood? Not necessarily all at one time but can handle the weight of a door and the width of a hood? Thanks bud

I don't know what I am doing ! At school, we had SATA and I got results I was happy with Wonder if this would be ok if i painted at home with it On the fence about the Master Elite Pro-44 / 88 that was in a older video Hmmn

It’s not about gun it’s about experience
Comment from : @Fukyeah

Comment from : @leroijr407

How do you know what clear coat to buy? PPG? Sikkens? Matrix? "General" versus "Euro" versus "2k" etc etc? I looked online and saw something called "Prime PCX-25" but can't find any reviews
Comment from : @johnbatalle6500

This might be the best budget how-to paint video I've seen Especially with the inclusion of the shopping list
Comment from : @arfreeman11

This gun is 13mm or 15mm ?
Comment from : @aricy1180

I have 3 spray guns and the cheaper of the 3 (at $100) gives the best finish of the 3

I don't think the owner of the car would be impressed that you are using a $70 water pistol 😅
Comment from : @SloMo-rk5pv

I bought the Harbor freight HTE Spectrum gun I put down my second try at paint after trying to get my fan to work on my central pneumatic HTE purple HVLP 14 tip gun The HVLP would just splatter the paint and leave dry patches inconsistent while doing the plastic front facia on my truck So feeling confident I went ahead and used the Spectrum HTE 13 tip and sprayed my single stage on the truck bed with a perfect finish and no fluctuations in fan pattern or adamisation like the cheap HVLP Central Pneumatic did Literally in the middle of my first paint job and have learned a tone from this gentleman So my question is that is an HTE or an HVLP better? I am tempted to try an HVLP in the Harbor Freight Spectrum just to try both in the same quality league Any experienced thoughts or info to help would be appreciated
Comment from : @MatthewMaas-i9y

Hey Brian big fan!!! You have taught me a lot over the years… Quick question… For someone like me that’s just looking for a good gun for no more than a couple hundred bucks, which gun would you recommend The Astro Euro Pro or the 20 Blackwidow?
Comment from : @timothywissman9668

Do you recommend this gun to paint a whole car ?
Comment from : @israel9294

Comment from : @ericksanchez9407

Hi Brian, I'm new to using a paint gun and was wondering if you can help me set up this new paint sprayer that I got at an auction It's similar to the one in this video Thank you! I just wasn't sure how to adjust the fan, fluid and air levels
Comment from : @jayhawk7323

Hi Brian, I'm new to using a paint gun I just bought one at an estate sale that's similar to the one in your video here I'm wondering for the initial setup, how to adjust all of the knobs Can you advise advise on how to initially setup the levels for the 3 knobs for the fluid, air and fan levels? Thanks! 👍😁

Brain brWhat type of paint lids do you use to seal and pour gallon and quart cans?
Comment from : @lorenweatherby6520

Sold my 3m performance 20 gun for this one HE astro one, the 3m adjustments were janky at best Painting a grey metallic and looking forward to seeing how well this gun delivers with base/clear
Comment from : @fiily1

I see you set up the gun liquid to run wide open Does that mean your hand is also running it wide open?
Comment from : @jonathanmcnett8708

What pressure are you running?
Comment from : @jonathanmcnett8708

What min cfm compressor would u recommended to use?
Comment from : @ericdoe4746

Curious can you run a 08mm nozzle?
Comment from : @michaelthrelkeld212

Hi BrianbrbrIs this still the best budget gun as of 3/24 ?
Comment from : @lorenweatherby6520

@paintsociety I just bought this gun for a project I am doing What Air pressure do you recommend me starting at with that Astro gun I don't see a 'max air pressure at cap' on anything I got
Comment from : @gol10dr45

Any electric painting systems no matter how much i try to prevent water in air it pops up I use 1 compressor to paint Don't even use it to pump up a tire Im good on small projects but a whole car Not so much
Comment from : @Carlos-r5n2b

Brian, thank you for all you do for people who are trying to learn how to paint your expertise and knowledge is awesome I am into the LVLP paint guns and I have a small compressor 27 gallon But what I'm wondering is with all the low volume Low pressure guns that you've used on any of your videos I've never heard you mention what size compressor you use with those guns Other than the 1 video with the pancake compressor but I'm not using that gun or compressorId like to see which guns lvlp work best with a 27-30 gallon compressorI'm using the arrow R 500 Id venture to say that most of the DIY garage type painting guys use a 30 gallon compressor Thank you brother,Jim911
Comment from : @jamescolgate5497

Hey buddy love all your vids really learning alot but really confused about gun choices, I'm using u-tech The primer came out perfect 18 nozzle, just not sure about spraying the U350 single stage RM set-up can a use a HTE 13 like a blackwidow thanks
Comment from : @tonyjr6790

@paint society what mm tip size did you get?
Comment from : @Axgoten

I thought the 1st coat of clear he was going to lay it on light looks like he pounded it on ?
Comment from : @corvetteguy2629

I’ve been painting about 3 years 2 maybe 25 years everyday in the booth I picked it up pretty quick and can lay it on like the 20 year painters in the shop Not my compliment to myself just had some good guys and even better teachers along the way who pushed me to achieve far better than commercially acceptable I have sata jet x5500’s and do well with them I’ve used a demo devilibus but the sata is my preference After watching some videos and having a buddy buy the 13 hte from harbor freight and it actually amazed me for the money so I bought one with a coupon The guys I worked with before I left to be the head painter at a dealer near me always told me the gun doesn’t make the painter I honestly use the harbor freight gun for clear more than I do my sata it just seems to make it seem visually flatter without trying I am using high solids clear that isn’t reduced so I probably need a 14 or better instead of my 13s but the black widow seems to put it on a little thicker so i don’t have to slow down like I do with my satajet obviously I can get a great finish with what I am comfortable with but the price of the fun does not matter like some people think I doubt it will last as long as a sata will but I’m anxious to see I really like your budget gun videos as you prove my point often Being a 24 year old kid I assumed the guys would doubt me but so far I’ve been able to have their faith
Comment from : @CRFHONDARIDER100

Hey Brian, me and some buddies are getting into paint and we even got a small shop to practice in my question is what air compressor would be good to start with for a paint shop, or at least what air compressor specifications should I be looking at having for a shop that would run at most two spray guns at the same time sometimes but mainly one spray gun always
Comment from : @kevincontreras6472

Thank you for sharing your knowledge I'm not a painter, never tried but want to and you have given me the inspiration to give it a go If I screw up it's just paint right ✌️
Comment from : @capeman10

You likely have videos out there on this but I would like to see how to properly clean and store a paint gun and its tiny parts

Would love to see a video on how to just repaint a car that has good paint and good clear i have a black car but i want a different black or maroon
Comment from : @Thatdudewiththecivic

Hey Brian what clear do you use at your shop?
Comment from : @cesarmunoz9154

About your "factory orange peel" discussion, it reminded me of one of my old bosses that teached me a lot He always was the only one doing the painting because, well, that was his favorite thing He did a few restorations and mirror like finishes in the past, but his bread and butter was insurance work And he got so good at spraying paint that he knew how to set up his gun to mimic that factory orange peel on every particular car!!!! I never learned his secrets as I was more a dismantler/metal work guy, but your videos are a huge help taking the anxiety off and understanding how the qualiity is in the know-how and not necessarily the equipment!
Comment from : @Trueno1600

Superb advice Brian yet again Thanks alot
Comment from : @johnburton3582

I've followed Brian now for years, I'm going to paint my cars bumper using the help Brian and his videos, let see if someone in US can teach someone in UK 👍, brThank mate for years help and tips on spaying paint, 👍👍👍👌
Comment from : @ON-THE-DRIVEWAY

Bought one a few years ago based on your recommendation I'm a DIYer and I don't have a booth I will say this gun helped me fix my orange peel issues, it is easy to clean and unlike other cheap guns, it sprays consistent over and over The other cheap guns I tried seemed to work well once and they were garbage
Comment from : @omorin34

I like this one but manthat Vevor hvlp is my favorite budget spraygun
Comment from : @Erik7prc

Muchas gracias Brain buen video
Comment from : @epicasmasher5504

yes the gun matters, but the painter makes the final product he is a very good painter
Comment from : @lgull1

I've been watching a lot of videos on the new revised harbor freight Black widow I was done set on buying it But one video said it requires a lot of air Preferably an 80 gallon tank So my question is this Astro gun for smaller compressors
Comment from : @billlear5607

Thanks for the content Hobofrieght has their black widow series spray gun on sale frequently Have you ever reviewed them?
Comment from : @dewholdingsllc1050

Thanks for the tutorial on the orange peel goal
Comment from : @100amps

Can you please reference the gun and 2 others you recommend in each video? Comparable or cheaper that’s better Since you make so many videos and so many guns it’s hard to keep up That way we know which guns are comparable like for this one if it’s sold out which you also compare it to
Comment from : @mrmidnight32

I wish I know how other guns work cause I bought this on first, and as a total amiture, I lay down paint so well with this
