Prices going up along with quality. Paint back in the day wasn't tat good at it is today.
@mikethepainterКүн бұрын
yea some things have gotten better. but not really in recent years. It still does not last any longer. paint quality was actually better before the 50 voc limit. the old 100 voc was really pretty good. Now just more money. and not as good. 2 years ago this was 159 a 5 now 262.

Companies are price gouging knowing that they can just use the 'inflation' excuse and by doing so they perpetuate more inflation and make more money.
@mikethepainterКүн бұрын
Fuel taxes in CA ...Right when they went up the cost of paint followed. Now CA chemical taxes. paint recycle fees. (on top of that price) almost 300 per 5 gallon. It is both. Government Cost push inflation and other cost increases together. Putting restrictions on businesses only contributes to higher costs. they pass them on to the consumer. We really need to lower them and create opportunity for competition. rather than restrictions. The only way to stop price gouging is Competition....the way to do that is lower corporate restrictions, taxes and regulation.

I own this vevor sprayer, pretty good for my first sprayer I thought but these upgrades should make it even better. Thanks for the video. I have seen what happens to a hand that's been sprayed by one of these , happened to a co worker long time ago and it's not pretty at all. Whole hand swole up like a melon and had to have skin grafts to fix some of it and lost the tips of a few fingers so I know the dangers. Keep up the great tips.

Revising my previous comment, which was supportive. The suction tube on mine had 2 permanent kinks, one so bad that the tube closed on itself and wouldn't draw paint. I adapted another tube to make it work. However, an alert to everyone... Vevor does NOT supply parts for this. Nada. Zilch. Odd, because they make a schematic with part numbers. I wrote and received a response that Vevor sells complete units only. And no telephone number to call. I'm not regretting my purchase. This is for multiple stainings after hail and wind damage to our home. Cheaper than contractors who want $3K+ just for the stain. I'll save a lot of money and I have no intention of doing anything more (retirement looking me in the face). Thought I would share that you get 3 months MBG, and 12 months warranty. Lost and damaged parts NOT included. After that, this unit is trash. I'm not sorry I bought this. It's perfect for me. just be aware of the limited life....

What pressure and tip are you using?
@jamesozment112 күн бұрын
Most painters don't but I do . I pull the red disconnect handle , remove the 1/4 round track section . Level and remove the hinges , then slide up each door section and remove it . Lay them out on folding saw horses and spray them . Doors go back in next day . If weather is a concern I'll tape 9x400 plastic over the door frames .

Hey Mike, my Graco Silver gun is spitting. No extension, just the gun filter and tip. I bought some white ⅛" washers but don't use them because the gun leaks with them in. Are they needed in the gun housing?
@mikethepainter15 күн бұрын
spits come from leaks the white washers need to be in there. and correctly intalled in the seat. make sure they are fitting in the seat tightly and needs to be tight. leaks are what cause the spitting 90% of the time. maybe they are the big ones not the small You need to be really observant on how they seat in the cone filter housing.

Do you really have to crank down the nut holding the flat tip or can it be hand tightened
@mikethepainter21 күн бұрын
you need to crank it down tight on the flat tip Some of the reversa have a rubber washer and you can hand tight them.

You are using the wrong type of paint or not giving it enough time to cure. Even if it ends up sticking, you can use parafin wax and rub it on the door seal. Problem solved. Some people are just lazy or like to take shortcuts. We get it. Gotta make a living. But reputation matters too. And this half assed method is bound to get you a bad wrap when someone’s friend or family member asks the home owner WTF they paid to have someone to paint “most” of their door. Its an eye sore.

I started using corflute because i didnt wanna buy new shields all the time. It goes much better. Havent looked back since using them and still on the same 3 pieces. Multiple jobs now… I got the 5mm thickness ones and just razor knifed the sheet to equal panels. Made sure they were level and to my preferred dimensions. They don’t drip (unless you water down paint too much) and you can wipe em right off or hose it off then rag it. Basically indestructible and the only shields you will ever need again…
