This is a quick review of my $15 Harbor Freight automotive spray gun. I use THE CHEAPEST gun on the market and wanted to talk a little bit about why. Automotive painting is expensive to get into so if you are looking for a cheap way to learn this is the ticket!

Lol, love the intro
Lol straight to the point lol .. Because it’s 15 dollars. Lol
Get the 60$ gun at harbor frieght! One of the best tools I’ve bought from there! Sprays really good
mine cost $15 AUD. even cheaper. and it’s a beast, works great. get em’ from aldi. if you americans have aldi
Too all the people saying it will be a “cheap spray job” or “you wont get a great quality paint job” i think you are missing the point of this channel, this is about building it yourself on a budget and inspiring others to give it a go. For a $15 gun i think it came out great.
all cars get orange peel the paint shrinks its normal
Hi man whats yours watch brand?
I lowkey thought you got an s15 because of the thumbnail
Do more paint job sir!
Looks bad ass!
Works……unless you want to have a good paint job. Good is shown by the amount of “mirroring” happens. And cheap guns work but then you have higher waste, unequal spray pattern, etc.
Would this work well for non-large scale stuff too?
Awesome video, I’m gonna paint a Del sol soon. Any tips ?
Dude that paint job looks like it came straight out of the factory.Amazing job !
What air pressure do you spray at?
It’s still an awesome gun for only $15. Thanks for information and money saving tips:)
I agree 100%! Another reason I like the Harbor Freight purple gun is that I don’t have to buy anything to clean it. I just throw it away and get a new one next time.
Looks good for an amateur. Id let you paint my car for cheap haa
I’ve done all my paint jibs with harbour freight guns. They have worked great.a big factor is quality of paint.even with a cheap gun you can Get great results with good quality paint
Would you please do a video on the actual painting process in very laiman terms. For example single stage paints and especially painting large panels without tiger stripes etc
thats pretty sweet man, i was always under the impression that you needed a beast air compressor gto paint a car, i knew a cheap gun was cool though.
that paint does look pretty decent tbh
Hey it’s j o n a s
The only problem is the air compressor !
I’d love to see you make molds for fiberglass parts successfully!
I love these guns I have 4 of them and if you know how to spray they do really good , no orange peel with my work ect
what size compressor do you use to run your sander?
Sure it works, but why would you not get a, let’s say $50 gun, might not be much better, but easier to clean, the trigger won’t get stuck.
It’s such a small difference in prices, when you paint as much as you do
Worst gun I ever bought was $100, best gun was $35. Not saying there aren’t better ones out there for hundreds of $ but don’t be afraid to try one just because it’s cheaper.

I have a couple of these… I use them from time to time and they can get the job done. You are right about the little quirks. It gets the job done though, thanks for backing up this underrated paint gun. They also have some other guns at HF for just a few bucks more.
That’s cool, I think that’s what’s been holding me back. I never learned the ‘inns & outs’ of painting because I didn’t have the money for the expensive gear, but like you said; a person should start off with ‘cheep’ stuff, learn how to use it, then figure out if you need to ‘upgrade’. Thanks for the insight!
You honestly can’t beat them for the money. The Central Pneumatic $69 gun at HF is awesome as well. Bought mine a few years back with a 25% coupon and others can’t believe the quality of my work with it. I see no reason to upgrade right now.
Great Content, what state are you in? I would pay you to experiment on a couple of my vehicles.
I have bought this gun to mess around with before i use my better paint gun but i was wondering what kind of paint you use and a ballpark number for the pressure you run thru it? I know it says high flow but I’ve heard its “not really high flow”. I have a beater project car that i have been working on to improve my mechanical skills and painting is something i want to get into this summer so I’m trying to study up on it during the winter…. Thanks PA
Nice job bro! I used one time the same gun to paint a fender and it came out so good that i was really impressed!
BUILT = HUMBLE
was done b4 intro Bahaha
I painted a 80k Escalade with that gun custom black cherry
Prices don’t matter as long as it works!
Yeah, that looks great! Bravo
Couldn’t agree more… I have cheap gun and 24 liter compressor, but pain job on some bumpers wheels and cars was pretty good.
I wanna see more buying and selling cars, flipping.
Yeh Buddy, $9.00 on sale. I painted a car with it and it came out as nice as my Devilbiss, Was it my experience? sure however its the gun that make it happen. I Bought 5 more. beats, $ 250.00
Can you go over your compressor set up mainly the 60lb tank
