DECORATING WITH AIRLESS SPRAYERS - Will I ditch my roller?

[@z33_jay_]

Great to see a good bit of DIY happening, spraying is definitely the way forward. The only thing I’d say as a professional sprayer is that you should make sure you’re using the right mask. That JPS mask looked like it was only a P3 or P3R. This won’t actually filter out airborne paint particles, they will still get into your lungs. You need a mask with ABEK1 or AB1 as a minimum. Otherwise you are risking your health. Just a pointer! Happy spraying 👍🏽

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Thanks. Will look into that before the next project. 👍

[@sorcyo]

So ... if you have touch ups from hanging pictures/shelves/bumps how will you respray without masking half a furbished room? As I am making a living from painting and decorating I don't see rollers and brushes go anytime soon.

[@streaky81]

P3R will be more than good enough for filtering out (water-based - which we should all be striving to use where possible for a long long list of reasons) paint particles, these things stop viruses that are massively smaller than the smallest paint particles you're going to see. An ABEK1 filter is for _vapours_ which are a whole different kettle of fish, if you're working with the sorts of vapours where you need that you're going to have the same issue with a roller - though I agree if you are you absolutely should.

[@PotatoesRnice]

ABEK1 3M cartridge for gas/vapours? But it should also be used with P3 prefilter.

[@mikewm54jl]

AS a decorator who does a lot of new build we use 2 sprayers one doing cielings in white the other doing walls in Magnolia and the time saved makes the work super efficient.

[@murphyandmurphybrand]

how do you deal with touch ups? Do you go over with a roller?

[@Gtfallofyer]

I use the bigger version of this for doing empty full house jobs, it has proved to be an invaluable tool! One issue I found kept happening was when I used the clear decorators film it “held “ moisture from the spray as it’s obviously waterproof. It caused the paint to run down & off causing a lot of clean up. Also it had a tendency to act like a sail as the air hit it. I switched to the brown masking paper car sprayers use. Because it’s slightly heavier it stops the sail effect, it also soaks and holds any overspray. Hope it helps! Cheers for the vid.

[@alan36753]

Good call. Saved me a frustrating learn cycle.

[@Milkybar882]

It’s just not worth it I regret buying this machine the whole process and overspray is just too much

[@mattclark7700]

What a diy man this fella is! Inspiring

[@aussiecro.]

I've bought the same type of Wagner unit as shown here and I concur with all the comments. I think it is the way forward with home renovation (at least) and the only "downside" I experienced was the additional mask out required (particularly ceilings). To give you an idea, my lviing room ceiling is approx. 50sqm with massive plaster cornices (150mm) all the way around. When painting using brush roller, just the cornices were an all day job. With this machine, I painted the lot in less than 15 mins. It really can be that quick. The machine itself works perfectly and produces excellent results prodviding you take some care with your paint types. The finish is way better than roller based painting, at least in my view (i've done a lot of that in my past) and if the surface is not 100% virgin, coverage is great. If virgin, you just need a bit more overlap in your paint strokes is all. Well done on the vid.

[@nothing0062]

I've got a smaller Wagner unit and they are good. It's all in the prep and you can achieve very good results. They are also good for spraying furniture so you get a nice smooth finish rather than seeing the brush marks.

[@RestingonHope]

This is the best video for a newbie i have watched and i have watched alot of videos. Well done

[@mydiyphd8576]

Im part way through a full house reno. First few rooms i rolled then i got fed up so bought this sprayer about 6 weeks ago. The finish is so good. I've only used it for white mist coats and white matt so far. Can't say I've got the hang of a 10 minute clean down yet though, it seems to take me ages. But high victorian ceilings are a breeze, and i'm totally converted. I've even bought a smaller sprayer for coloured walls.

[@londonsienna4450]

@@nathancumming1 thank you

[@TheRyan097]

I am thinking about buying this unit for my project just a question how coats need to be done for good finishing.

[@arno_verhoeven]

When you spray ceiling and walls in different colours, then spray walls first. You would do ceiling first when rolling, but it is much easier to mask the walls than masking a ceiling.

[@tommylindsey2924]

Do you use same sheen on crown molding as on the ceiling ? What sheen do you prefer for ceilings and crown molding ?

[@NunYaaBizz]

What about baseboards? Is it baseboards first, then walls? Then ceiling?

[@paulmead1384]

If your spraying a complete room start with woodwork, then walls then finish ceilings last. Masking it this way is a lot easier

[@dansalt-sfl]

I do the opposite, but I use spray shields. Sometimes I need to do some touch up by hand, but I still find it faster than masking everything. I do ceiling, trim/doors then walls. I don't expect my apprentices to be able spray using just a shield without some extensive training, but once you know how, you can turn over a house in no time.

[@alan36753]

Arno. You answered the question I was about to ask for the very reasons you describe. Thank you.

[@karlnotyourbusiness4429]

Thanks for this. You've convinced me to get one for my whole house and barn reno.

[@Olliebobalong]

I have barely ever painted in my life, but I now flip properties self employed for a living, and decorating is something you can save tons of money on doing it yourself. I got a 350m, never sprayed before in my life. Have done my entire house to such a high standard. Thanks to KZbin and videos from folks like yourself, it was so easy to setup and get the hang of so quickly. I did 9 rooms in 1 day including the ceilings, far simpler cleanup and overall one of the best investments ive made recently.

[@brianreynolds2312]

I’ve had my Wagner 250R Pro for two years in the box. Now I need to paint a 4.6m high wall x 10m I will use it but I’m quite nervous. You’re demonstration has encouraged me thanks.

[@ukhottubs]

Blimey, I’m always amazed at your ability and crack on attitude. Whilst not having any experience spraying rooms, I have thought it looks the way to go. To be honest though, as quick as that looked.. the pre and post prep I imagine is involved 😳 I’ll stick to roller, brush and a beer or two😄. Great video though, enjoy your Chanel and have learned a lot from all of your videos. 👍👍

[@storegga]

24:00 touch ups. Trust me, anyone can get a spray finish touch up with roller or even brush. I've been working with Wagner, Graco units worth thousands etc the past 8 years, industrial sprayer day in day out. Thin down your product with suitable thinner/water/glycol etc and get flock foam rollers and take in larger sections. No need to respray unless your surface area is more than a couple metre square. Great job by the way, truly a master of all trades, you're universal logic and can-do attitude serves you well. your wagner airless is a fine investment, get back your time. Had some painters scoff at me, claiming touch ups can't be done, blacks and strong colours are impossible to work with. Have hundreds of customers to say otherwise, not even other professionals can see where I've done remedial work to others damage.

[@mooganoid]

Nice comment JG! There are a lot of nay-sayers in the dec trade unfortunately, but fortunately for both of us.

[@zarasbubble1748]

I thought you could also get one of those small handheld sprayers and re-spray the small section that way if you really wanted to?

[@storegga]

@@zarasbubble1748 as in a low volume gravity gun or airbrush? You'd think so, but it would involve masking off potential areas of overspray. I normally take in a larger section to a corner or spray down or up way out of a person's eyeline or critical light. Brush or foam roller works that way too. It's extremely hard to feather a wet edge with some of these water borne paints and guns. It either is a visible patch in sheen, or goes on too dry at the edge. Hope it works out for you if you need to give it a bash

[@techytech1907]

This is the most informative review on this product. I might just buy it.

[@ashgriffiths3596]

Soo as a decorator of about 15 years thinking of edging into spraying soon! But what i will say is can u get a just as good finish with a brush yes! Can you paint as quick as you spray yes! If you spend all that time and money masking up . As anything though spraying has its place great for certain jobs although a bad spray job is a nightmare to rectify !

[@shanewhelan8566]

Where did you get your short extension for this?

[@AKnightWh]

Spraying first of two layers, then last third one applied with sprayer, but finishing touch with a roller (with no additional paint) - works like a charm every single time. Also you can add the roll texture in the second layer and just spray the third one on top of that, if you want a faded roller texture.

[@tonyneville476]

I have been a brush and roller man since 1970 and recently I noticed that I can see pretty good without wearing my glasses (unheard of in the past years with my eyes) so I recently bought Wagner Pro 190 along with a few accessories online and can hardly wait for a call about painting so I can spray it instead!

[@b21playa]

I found the airless sprayer the best thing to use to painting coving/cornice. No brush marks, just a flat smooth finish 👍 I wish I kept my Wagner unit, guess I’ll be buying a new one when I do my new place up

[@malcolmbale9566]

I’ve got a smaller Wagner sprayer & renovated & sprayed my aluminium garden furniture with an excellent finish, down side painting inside is the environmental impact with all the extra masking with plastic sheeting, it’s just getting the settings right that makes all the difference + a bit of practice!!

[@yvetischo]

I hate my smaller wagner sprayer. It sputters and makes a mess.

[@rossolancer]

Two years ago i painted a whole house with a roller😳 i took me three weeks. Last week i paint sprayed approx 3 quarters of a house and it took my 5 days😳 much better finish too! I’m a sprayer converter 😂

[@allthegearuk]

Did the three weeks include all the prep too? If you did a good job I assume prep less to do this time. Genuine questions as that's a lot of time saved.

[@applejack4225]

Three weeks to paint an average house is a very long time. I would expect to turn a room around in 1.5 days using a brush and roller.

[@rossolancer]

@@applejack4225 so a 3 bedroom house with 9 separate rooms would rake you 13.5 working days?

I've just started a new job today with a newly purchased wagner 350m sprayer. Never used one before. But the results are absolutely amazing. The coverage. The finish and the speed is unbelievable. There is no way on earth can you paint using roller and brush as fast as you can with a sprayer and the level of finish you get with the sprayer. I had painted x4 bedrooms 2 bathrooms and landing and stairs in 2hrs which is unreal. Great video mate

[@BobbyHayre-w1z]

@16:26 does it matter if the skirting board paint gets on the walls a little. im about to spray the whole house skirting board and door trims and was going to mask the walls to protect from the satinwood paint getting on the walls but noticed yours went on the walls a bit. Does it really matter and result in problems with the wall paint going on it. both paints used on trim and walls would be a form of water based paint. Thanks

[@davidfalat4377]

I seem to live a parallel life to this guy, doing all the same stuff. Ive had two of these 250 and the 350 they are really good, I did a large semi all the way through in a day, however this was on an empty house! On fresh plaster sometimes the spray doesn't adhere too Well and In part I've had to sand down the wall after so when I re spray over it sticks... or just roller 1st then spray. Onky best for emulsion too ! Overall I'd say they are better than a roller, the finish is far better!!

[@JamieBlakeUK]

Hi there, great video very helpful! So you think the 250M is fine for spraying trim and doors fitted? (As well as walls) not too powerful?

Perfect. Last couple of years i waste so much water to clean out rollers and brushes after painting. I definitely investing now to same machine. Save time save water save paint and save money. Well need cover everything but if you compare time with brush and roller still faster i think cover everything and then just spray. Make easy everything for sure

I see comments saying you can’t roller touch ups because the finish is different. If you have to repair walls, how to you reblend the finish.

[@atanasdimitrov8496]

If you want to get rid from that fuzzy corner edge at 14:03, next time paint the paper tape with the color you are cutting from. It will seal the gaps and prime the paper tape, not allowing the other color (the dark blue in this case), to soak underneath it and leave those marks. Great video. Thank you.

Hey. We are looking to paint the woodwork dark green and the walls a light grey. How would you go about this? Do skirting first and overspray into walls? Then mask skirting once dry and go over the overspray? Would it cover? Or is there a way to do walls first and then woodwork as to me it would make more sense to go lighter then darker? But how would I mask up the walls without it damaging the walls after? Even with the masking tape for new paint I find it risky? Any tips? Also how many coats of spray would you say a wall and woodwork takes? And does it take longer in between coats? Sorry so many questions.

Hello. I’ve started painting newly plastered walls. The skirting, coving and doors are installed but not painted yet. Couple of questions: - for the walls already painted with roller, would you recommend sanding them before applying additional coats with sprayer - not sure why it’s better to paint the trim first and walls,ceilings second? Thx!

[@colliedogjoy]

What a revelation! A mate has one of these (yellow) units and has offered it to me. I'm a decorator. It looks like I need to have a go. One tip when doing cabinets or trim with a roller - always lay the paint off with a brush. You can get a 'Laying Off Brush' specifically for it. yes, you need to be quick with water based paints, but the finish can be exquisite. Floetrol keeps the paint 'open' for a bit longer, and for big panels, wipe them down with a wet cloth immediately before painting to give you half a minute longer to get the paint on. The best paint I've encountered so far is F&B Modern Eggshell or Tikurilla, but the paint tech is evolving all the time so I fully expect to see Dulux, Leyland and so on bringing new stuff. Oh, Zinsser do some magic paint - and even B&Q's Valspar emulsion is exquisite. Great vid. New sub.

[@paulstaniford8622]

We bought a project house a few years back and I invested in an earlex HVLP sprayer. I had great success with it on the walls and woodwork but as shown in this video it’s all in the preparation! And once a wall has been sprayed you cannot touch-up a scuff with a 4” roller! The finish you get is exceptional for DIY. If you do have a go it’s also worth using the right masking tape like Q1 tapes or Tesa.

Does it just work straight out of the pot?

Does it matter for the later application of the emulsion paint if that acrylic paint goes onto the wall as well around the door frames?

Hi mate, don't know much about Wagners, but just get a 308 FFLP tip and it doesn't matter which machine I guess. The FFLP Tips are Graco I think. Maybe wagner do the same. Nor sure. The machine I got was 900 quid with all the hoses etc. Can't imagine Wagner will be cheaper.

Excellent run-down on doing this!

Thanks for the upload. Daft question, what do you use with the masking to protect skirting or radiators etc?

[@markc7955]

Yeah it looked good stuff. Not sure myself.

Have you ever tried one of those paint sheild thingys for cutting in, instead of maksing up?

[@jollyrog007]

Good video.. do you have to dilute the paint?

Hi, what brand you used for a small handheld unit? Many thanks.

[@KimmoJaskari]

The same brand as the big sprayer, Wagner, has hand held models for literally 50 bucks and they work just fine. I think the W100 ultra cheapo I got can do 5 square meters in 10 minutes so the flow isn't massive, but it's not going to be on any handheld. I did find a 1.4 liter accessory container for it that fits, so that will cut down on the refills a little. It's possible this other brand of handheld is better, but 10 times better, I have my doubts. It's nice to be able to get into a perfectly fine sprayer for almost no money, just to see how you get on. They do have intermediary sets between the very cheapest and these huge units also.
