Can This Wagner Sprayer Do The Job?

This is a review of the Wagner Spraytech 520008 Control Painter HVLP* Handheld Paint Sprayer.
*HVLP is an acronym for High Volume Low Pressure which means a high volume of air (10-25 CFM) at a low air pressure (10 PSI/0.7 Bar or less).
According to the Wagner web site:
"The Wagner Control Painter is a versatile sprayer to save time and effort on any exterior medium to large project. It is 5 times faster than a brush and simple to use giving a consistent finish with clear control of where the paint goes.
Adjustments to the amount of coating, pattern direction and width of spray allow you to easily set up for your specific project.
The Control Painter is compatible with a variety of materials, from stains to some paints, and is perfect for sheds, garages, fences or decks. When the project is finished, the Control Painter cleans-up in as little as 5 minutes".
So, let just see how well it really does.

I just bought this exact model brand new from goodwill for $10. Now I’m thinking to repaint my deck to white. 🙂

[@DIYGene]

@@thebestsin, That’s great. I was really surprised how much Wagner sprayers have improved. Thanks for watching.

[@chriseastty2874]

How funny, someone left an old one of these in the street (by mistake and can't find the owner) outside my house

[@fredg1959]

Thanks , just bought that model and the video helped explain some things I wasn't quite sure on. Thanks again

[@DIYGene]

Thanks so much for watching.

[@tonysorice5142]

great video what do you think of all the wager models there is a few models what's best for painting kitchen cabinets, thank you i like Ur video,,

[@DIYGene]

This is the only model I have tried. But I think it would work fine on kitchen cabinets too.

[@TheThomasMom]

Thank you for the video! I picked one of these up to paint my kitchen cabinets, I found through trial and error that thinning the paint out gave me a smoother finish, but it required 3 coats. I learned some things here and still have a few cabinets to finish up. Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@DIYGene]

@@TheThomasMom, I hope it worked out well for you. Thanks for watching.

[@TheThomasMom]

@@DIYGene it did, thank you!

[@Djungle75]

Always a great video !! Good job with the trailer.

[@DIYGene]

Thanks so much. I was very surprised how well the sprayer worked. Thanks again for watching.

[@HNXMedia]

Dug my 18yr old version of this out of the basement to apply some deck sealer. After a little "pre-cleaning" the thing was running like a dream.

[@DIYGene]

That’s pretty amazing.

[@davewallace5008]

I've just painted my sons Evo 8 MR front bumper using an electric spraygun for the primer and basecoat, then switched over to my trusty old Iwata WS400 for the lacquer mixed at 2:1, came out like a sheet of glass straight from the gun. Those electric guns are great for basecoats, primers but for a professional finish a HVLP finishing gun is best, either DeVillbis or Iwata are perfect for clearcoat.

[@futbol1972]

Is this the Qx2? Can I use this to spray paint metal cabinets, fence a small wall in garage, furniture etc..?? I can add any type of paint and mixers?

[@DIYGene]

I would use this on anything other than a car. I ran oil based paint through this sprayer with no problem. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching.

[@futbol1972]

@@DIYGene is it tje qx2 model?

[@DIYGene]

It says Wagner Spraytech 0529042. I put an Amazon link in the description if that helps.

[@ericl2851]

Yup that’s my complaint. It has an orange peel texture. Same as a paint roller

[@CaliforniaLifeJourneys]

Did you have to clean / check the filter as instructed before reusing it the second time? I didn’t and second time it sprayed little worse/ not even. Just trying to figure out what was the problem

[@DIYGene]

I did check the filter and I had no problems. Now I have not used it for a while so I will be curious to see. Thanks for watching.

[@CarlRichardson-z1v]

This is the biggest piece of crap I've ever used.... Wagner absolutely blew it on this one and whoever says that this is a good product doesn't know what a good product is it's crap don't bite

[@DIYGene]

Wow, maybe it depends on what you run through it. I have had a great experience with it. I used Lowes enamel and sprayed a 35fft trailer and it did great.

[@מדינט]

Thanks for the review. Just a note, Wagner have the Brilliant attachment for a much more fine finish (I think it's 1mm nozzle).

[@DIYGene]

Thanks for sharing. I will definitely check that out.

[@Reno-pz3kt]

Thanks guys, that was a pretty good video. Would you recommend using this sprayer on a soffit and fascia of a home??

[@DIYGene]

Hello Reno, Yes I would recommend it. In fact I will be using it for the same thing this spring. Thanks for watching.

[@jeremiahbernabe7345]

Thanks for the video. Guys explained everything great! Question, how is it you can spray heavy like you say, is there an adjustment in gun? Thanks a lot !

[@DIYGene]

We were using enamel and it is much thinner than latex. It sprayed a bit orange peel but that was what we where going for. Thanks so much for watching.

[@miguelangel97marron88]

Is the spray texture petty good? Or is it pretty bad texture?

[@DIYGene]

It is really good. I would not paint a car with it but this trailer turned out great.

[@miguelangel97marron88]

@@DIYGene thanks for the feed back! Just that i had a wagner older model and it would spray spit and leave like sorta tear looking texture not sure why

[@DIYGene]

I totally understand. I had an older one years ago and it was terrible. This is a whole new world of sprayer.

[@connecthamptonroads8172]

Man those have come a long way. I may have to look into one again. Thanks for the great video.

[@DIYGene]

Thanks so much for watching

[@irish89055]

It's basically a tu rd like most Wagner products

[@DIYGene]

I was really surprised how well this worked. We shot a big trailer and it did a fantastic job. Not like the old Wagner spray guns.

[@monkeypuzzler]

Great video, guys. Considering a spray system and this helps answer some questions i had

[@DIYGene]

I hope it is of some help. Thanks for watching.

[@robertjuarez-padua6106]

Useless leaves a mess everywhere

[@DIYGene]

I must have lucked out. It works great for me. Thanks for watching.

Thanks guys!

If you do want to paint a car or truck with one of these, get the one that’s used for stain,(control spray QX2) thin paint 5 to 10 percent. Did a nice job on our work truck, nice and even with no runs or sags. Edit. We used the waterborne acrylic enamel truck/tractor paint from rural king. Tractor supply has it too. Thins with water, and has the hardner already in it

[@DIYGene]

@@Pointman-yf6or , I have to say , I would never use this to paint a car or truck. But a trailer or equipment, absolutely.

[@Pointman-yf6or]

@@DIYGene Like I said, it’s a work truck. We paint for a living, and a lot of our inside work is new construction so we do use this kind of equipment instead of a grako bulldog airless or brush and roller. Since the q2 does such a good job with stain we decided to do the truck with it just to see how it would do. It sure isn’t show quality, but definitely turned out way better than we thought it would. After primer, first coat I put on straight out of the can, got some orange peel, sanded with 220 wet, thinned by about 8% by volume, put it on again and actually got a nice smooth job. Buffing would probably make more shine, but that ain’t happening. Subscribed!

[@DIYGene]

That’s fantastic, I am curious about the Tractor Supply paint. I saw a video of a guy that sprayed his jeep wrangler with the John deer green and it looked pretty good. I didn’t know it was water based. That is cool.

[@robw4ltz408]

Put. Plastic bag in the paint tub,

[@DIYGene]

What a fantastic idea! Thanks for sharing
