Shooting paint is the most fun you can have working on a car. The bodywork and prep is the worst job in the world, 😊

Glad you enjoy it!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks 👍

Try a mini. I use a Sata minijet 4 for all my smaller projects saves a ton of materials.

a tack rag is a sticky cotton rag (kinda looks like cheese cloth) that is used for wiping down panels that you plan to paint. It's the final step after using wax and grease remover to eliminate any dust that is on the surface. Some people use microfiber cloths instead.

@@UWrenchTV thanks heaps. Any idea what the sticky stuff is on the rag?

i also have the purple cap and i keep tinkering but dont get it consistent. switching over to the orange cap for now but yeah theres even less out there on the purple cap

​@@bentsporks4339there's one Ytuber that mostly uses the purple cap, but to be honest, it's more or less a panel or blending cap for base. It's too slow for an overall and definitely not enough for clear

Lumabase solvent

Whole different beast. Good gun the Bellaria. I spray in a garage where I don't want a ton of overspray. I have both Bellaria and the LPH400 LV4 "original" silver cap. The LPH atomizes really fine at loooow pressure. Very low overspray. It's a trade off tho. Makes it slow compared to the Bellaria. The Bellaria atomizes well at higher pressure, is faster, and has a big fan. But it also has a bit more overspray. If you don't mind the overspray you can't go wrong with the Bellaria. It's also good with hard to spray metallics. Because of the low overspray I prefer the LPH400 even tho it's slower at recommended pressures.

Wow! I didn't know that?? How can you tell the knockoffs from the real thing?

That’s the pressure he usually sprays at… might go as much as 22psi

@@UWrenchTV All paint colors or just a solid color like white or black?

@@stang1991 solids between 19-22psi metallics between 16-19psi

Fred doesn’t feel that they are cost effective.

Are you looking for something within that same price range?

Change the cap, Sliver for clear & solids,

Willy he shot the clear at 27 psi mot 15...

He used 19 for sealer 13-14 for base and 27 for clear (fluid wide open). Most painters use around 22-24 for base and 25-30 for clear with 2.5 turns out on fluid, but there is no right or wrong way to get it done. Just like he said in the video this gun works well at a wide range of pressures and settings.

Port?

@@tonydiesel3444 I use my LPH400 for clear exclusively, and I actually prefer it to be a bit slower for that. You can really dial in your finish texture and get that clear exactly how you want it to lay out. Personal preference though!

​@@tonydiesel3444the air fitting in the handle is a little restrictive. Porting the fitting will give more flow at a lower pressure. It is like running the gun at a higher pressure. It just takes some load off the air compressor. As most air compressor can flow more air at a lower pressure.

Interesting ! I stopped using mine for clear cause of how slow it is...but I still put 5 coats of metallic base with it and the metallic come put beautiful...but yes very slow gun and def don't try it at 16 psi. Bump it up!

@@Handlehandlebars port the fitting on the bottom also make sure you are getting max air volume. Not pressure, volume. Use the shortest hose possible with the biggest inner diameter possible. Sata makes 25 foot air hoses with extra big inner diameter check them out.

27PSI

Everything wide open for clear? @27?

Where can I buy the purple cap you are talking about?

It’s crazy how much you don’t understand that there are different color intake filters and that the exhaust side can be manipulated in many ways without issue.

@@90crxdx yeah the paint booth manufactures and designers are just a bunch of dummies right? and you are the smart one right? I have been in the auto body business for 43 years and am a multi show owner. I have owned around 20 paint booths from home made to $150,000 booths and one thing I can tell you is that the people that manufacture the booths know more than you or I any day! and its crazy how much you dont understand about painting cars!!! I could point more than I did but I dont want to waste my time on you!

@@dhaley8847 43 years and you’ve never read that if the fan is unrestricted you should block off exhaust filters to control CFM? Or that there are 3 or more different color intake filters? Maybe reading is more important than years in an industry…

@@90crxdx blocking off the exhaust changes the air flow and causes turbulence and cause uneven drying. also is you have the correct fan that was engineered for the booth whens it was designed there will be NO need for blocking off some of the exhaust filters. I have been in many shops because I also own a auto paint store and I have seen people that have no clue what they are doing like you and they all do stupid things to their booth! None of them are successful and none of them have the proper air flow. They suffer with solvent popping or dye back and just make excuses as to why this happens. they exhaust problem you are having is probably caused from improper inlet filters that are allowing too much air in the inlet end! Yes dummy I have read and took many classes about this industry and I guarantee that you have the wrong inlet filters! but you cant teach anything to a know it all like you! putting white sealer under a black car says it all about your knowledge!

@@dhaley8847 well damn the people who design paint booths because they’re stupid. We should have listened you you and not them.
