Welcome to the hvlp club!!! Some words of advice. The only reason I give them out is the fact that have shared some great advice that has helped me tremendously. 1. Don't thin right away, see if you can spray without thinners. Try 2 or 3 different tips BEFORE thinning. I think most people thin way to quick which leads to too thin of a coatings, runs, and wasted time for drying. Sometimes you will be surprised what the pressure pot will push out for you. 2. Take time to dial in especially on your first 10 projects with that material. Do samples and let them dry to make sure you like it before doing the entire job. Spray some samples thin, spray some samples till they almost run or even run to figure out the finish hang time and final finish. I often found myself too thin and adding extra coats to make up when not doing this. You also have way more control which means you have way more variables to figure out unlike airless. 3. start with the fluid wide open and try to keep it as close to wide open as you can, if you find you can't, move to a smaller needle and cap. All the adjustment does is prevent you from pulling the trigger as far, nothing else which is GREAT for touching up work but can waste ton of time and can mean using extra air to do the same job (3.5 extra air=extra overspray or dust in the air) 4. Don't thin for just viscosity. I often thin to speed up dry time, and sometimes to improve finish, then for viscosity. You have a ton of needles and caps to help with the viscosity issues and finish quality. 5. Issues with gloss of finish, too thin of coats can look like the improper sheen and look too flat. Work on getting on as much material as you can to fix this.. 6 expect way faster dry times. I have BM advance dry on me before I finished spraying a set of doors, just keep this in mind when you go back and touch up something you just sprayed. Fixing it on the next coat is normally easier. On another note, I only use one gun for oil, water base, 2/3 part epoxy and anything else I can push through it. I always try to get a good cleaning in (acetone and denatured alcohol are my best friend) and there is almost never anything left in the gun to make a mess out of the next project. You would probably be better off setting up the second gun for the second coating of your job. This way when you need to do touch up, you don't have to resetup your gun twice and you can be finishing samples with the second coatings while still working the first coat. Also you can clean both guns while the work is in it's final drying stages instead of in between coatings. You can even leave on gun loaded with shellac primer on the entire job and use the second for primary coating then switch (clean) your primer gun to you conversion varnish to finish it out. Best of luck from Kingston, WA. I can't wait to see your work.

Ron, I have 2 of these HVLP. They are incredibly versatile. I have sprayed a few thousand hours of kitchen cabinets with it. Without the remote pressure pot. The key for your learning curve is to pay attention to cleaning it, and the viscosity of the material is very important. A great book is Taunton Spray finishing made simple. The learning curve on HVLP is steep. Be sure to have some access to good spray tech advisors. Have fun refining your finish. On an aside, Thank you for the Paulk work bench plans. Mine is working great for me.

As for the unit itself I will give it 5 stars as for the guns I use the graco edge plus with pps system that comes with a disposable plastic liner that pressurises and that way you can spray in any direction without manually changing the direction of the suction tube , I am very happy with my graco setup its 9,5 procomp with autostart function that your unit is not idling while you release the trigger , but overall both titan and graco made great units , thank you for your videos always learning something new from you 😀

Thanks Ron. Always appreciate your videos and you taking the time to share your knowledge.

Having sprayed in commercial cabinet shops for 18 years I'm used to gravity feed guns, large pressure pot systems and large air compressors, so personally I can't veer away from them. I use a Binks Trophy for spraying lacquer finishes and paints. And the gravity feed guns are great because of the new disposable cup systems that work with them, you can change colors and clean a gun in 30 seconds with a few table spoons of lacquer thinner.

Interesting series so far, very helpful.

Come on Ron let's start painting already. I want to learn with you. I'm just starting as well.

Hi Ron! I'd love if you revisited this tool at some point. I got myself one and I think it's fabulous, but I hate cleaning it. If you figured out an efficient way of cleaning the gun I'm all ears. Keep up the amazing work.

Pretty good video very educating, and professional

Got one myself..best damn set up ever

Great video

Good video... now I'm looking your video to see how to use it spraying paint.

Looks fun. I have a difficult time dealing with overspray. It's easy enough to use a roller and brush most of the time. But I have hopes to also get more litres under my belt. I know it's easy to mix up. But the horizontal position of the cap sprays a vertical pattern and vice versa =)

I’m getting mine tomorrow what guns should I get . I spray a lot of kitchens,shutters

really like all attachment, but have one question in uk we use 230v will it work here ?

So the air cap ring adjust the size of the fan

Where do you find all that extra setup stuff? I can’t go d anything on titan website?

When are we going to see you put this bad boy to work on a trim package or a cabinet set? I would love to see and hear all your knowledge on the finishing side as well.

Is there one size wrench for all the fittings ? If so, then Titan should have provided an on board tool holder for any tools needed for the system.

three weeks go by.... I suspect it didn't go as planned?

id like to see part 3 you kinda left me hanging

What does "includes paid promotion" mean?

I love that! Some people just go for the gold in tools just to have the gold. It's obvious just by looking at your bright yellow shirt, your blue space age glasses and your freshly showered up hair that this tool is too much gear for your uses. It's like those people who drive a battlefield hummer in downtown traffic; you're no soldiers and that's not the battlefield. In the case of this video you're no pro, save your money and buy a wagner from Homedeephole.
