The difference is 3 decades and experience. Which this guy here completely lacked. There's a bit more to spraying than may meet the eye? It might look like someone is just pulling the trigger and waving a gun around but that's not what I do. I have a bit more strategy going on than that.

If it works once that means it will work again if it is properly cleaned out. But we all know just how much people like to clean and care for their equipment. Which is not much at all. That coupled with the low purchase price is the only thing lending to the disposable nature of this product. For if you had to pay 10 times as much for it you'd be singing a totally different tune.

A lot of people are talkers. Very few follow through on anything though.

Paint needs a lot of air. I gang up two air compressors when I spray.

If your gun is not spraying a good pattern there's nothing you can really do to improve matters. Other than either fixing your gun, or getting one that can spray a good pattern. No amount of prep work is going to change that either. Though you will change your prep work when you spray over it all. I don't want to say you can't buff out a poor spray job but I don't go there myself. So on some level it is all about the equipment coupled with the right technique. Achieving an automotive finish is a pretty unforgiving process. Either everything goes right or your results show that it didn't.

I'll bet you had to take breaks. I gang a 20 and a 40 gallon compressor together and it keeps up. But just barely.

What anyone can find is based on regional availability. Some of us live where you're not finding anything. Well, you'll find a lot of corn and soy beans by me. Not much else though.

That depends on how greasy you are. Some of us are drier than others are. When I am in the process of a paint job I tend to be really dry then personally. That's due to all of the thinners I'm using. But yeah if I care about a top coat then I will detergent wash the job before I paint it.

I have never painted without a moisture trap. It never even dawned on me to try. I use the in line filters for top coats too. But yeah you do need to bleed your air tank regularly too.

You do a lot of things differently than this guy does them. He just doesn't have a clue what he's doing. I guess we all have to learn sometime though? Come back after you got a dozen cars under your belt. Then you're a novice and you may have some inkling of all that you still don't know.

Whatever works for ya pal. I know how to feather primer with a DA though. But I still will block a job down by hand before I paint it.

So what precisely makes the gun you use so much better than a Harbor Freight gun? Be specific. As I've no time for your subjective feelings about matters.

Based on what I saw this person obviously does not have much trigger time on a gun. They probably have not read any theory on how to achieve a good finish either. There's a couple basic rules that everyone that knows how to paint follow. You're not going to see them demonstrated in this video here either. What you should see is someone outlining work, then doing a half lap pattern over the field of work with a air follow through on the end of every stroke. That's why guns are "double action". A half trigger pull is just air, full pull is air and paint. You also need to maintain the same distance and be perpendicular to the work at all times too. It is a very rigid evenly paced motion. It's somewhat hard. But it is what it is. To get an even finish you need to apply finish evenly. Who'd have thunk it?

When I hit the lottery someday I want to get a nice new two stage head for my air compressor. I already got a mad 240VAC 5 HP Weg brand motor for it. But a bigger pulley on the motor got me no more CFM really. It runs faster but I donno. I figured running the head faster I'd have to get more air. But not really.

I think fresh paint smells sweet to bugs. So before you paint it doesn't hurt to invest in a can of Yard Guard and use that first. You know what they say about painting, preparation is 90% of the job.

Aromatics smell sweet. Bugs like sweet.

HVLP is EPA nonsense. Screw the environment I want a good paint job!
1
Well that's good news. Personally I'm no fan of HVLP. I prefer old school.

How bad is a $13 Harbor Freight spray gun? We'll never know watching this two bit painter using it.
1
Indeed it is.

Well la de da aren't we fancy? Cleaning our equipment with lacquer thinner as opposed to just generic paint thinner. Which is God knows what. Likely whatever aromatic solvent runoff they had too much of at the chemical factory on any given day. All I know is it costs less than half of what lacquer thinner does. It seems to work to me too.

If you know what you're doing then a HF paint gun can yield excellent results. But it is a big IF.

While what you claim may be true what physically accomplishes atomization is not exactly rocket science, now is it? There's a good chance the Chinese can drill fairly decent holes today too. Underestimate them at your own peril.

I can get a glass smooth finish with a brush. But it takes me at least 3 coats to get it. It is all in wet sanding between coats, the right brush, and using reducing agent right. Well, I suppose there's some temperature control involved as well. I've done it plenty of times jerk off boy 34.

How many different sizes do you need? You know that there is adjustment in the mechanism, don't you? BTW when a buddy of mine bought a kit he got two sizes of tips and needles with it. 1 and 1.2mm if memory serves me.
1
I have different guns for primer and top coats. I'm pretty sure that's how most folks do it.
1
Ought oh better get Maaco!

How do you know if a used gun is nice? I could have hammered the tip before I sold it. Drop a gun bad once and it is not so nice then anymore.
