How to Set up, Use and Clean an Airless Paint Sprayer - Spencer Colgan

In this video, I go through the process of setting up, using and then cleaning/storing and airless paint sprayer. This is my Graco 395.

[@user-ze9ns4hu8m]

Finally. A simple explanation of what needs to happen. Thank you.

[@skylergronholz]

This is THE VERY VERY BEST explanation of how a sprayer works! I’ve watched probably 30 videos and this taught me everything I need to know!! It’s the best!!

[@chuckw302]

Out of all the videos I watched, you explained it the best. Very detailed! Thank you.

[@danchilds5618]

Welcome back. My spray set-up is similar to yours. I clean my pump by attaching a flexible clear hose to the inlet after removing the stone guard and hose clamp it on. Connect it to a garden hose and turn on the water. Turn on the pump to remove excess paint. Once the paint is removed turn off the pump and let the water run through the system.In less than one minute your pump and hose will be clean.

[@spencercolgan]

Forgive me for having a hard time to understand. This sounds brilliant. I want to get it done quicker. What is the stone guard? Would you mind please taking a picture of the area for me and send it to me on a text I think I know what you mean but I really would like to see you do it in a picture. Perhaps you could take a quick 30 second video next to your sprayer and just describe what you mean for me. It sounds brilliant

[@danielwoolcock7267]

I've heard of this technique before but cannot find a video any where. Have you tried it Spencer?

[@brandonsparks546]

I believe he means to take off the suction screen and connect the garden hose there. I was happy to see that my new Harbor Freight sprayer (haha) has a water hose connection under the suction screen! Unscrew the screen, screw on the garden hose and go!

[@MrEmub]

Thanks, never used a paint sprayer before. Followed all your steps with success!

[@1nicoleblack]

Thank you so much for this video. I was so fed up with my new sprayer that I was about to throw it. This video answered ALL my questions! Thank you thank you thank you!

[@anerolrehcsif7094]

Don't trow away No 😅 I almost did that to lol 😆 is a good machine is repairable .

[@guymann4016]

Very helpful. Always great when we can learn from a pro. Thanks!

[@lynnwrape720]

Same here, watched several of these videos, this is the best one by far.

[@Renwark]

Very good video. More detailed and straightforward than most.

[@danielemansilla]

Nice video. Thank you Don't forget to pull and keep clean the tip, and the gun & sprayer machine filters. Take off the intake hose (from time to time) to clean and liberate the little metal ball. (Mineral oil and Rv antifreeze are the same like the more expensive Graco or Titan's ( but much cheaper ). Instead of having to turning (on and off ) the sprayer machine "box" so often try to lower the pressure volume. If possible Keep the tips and other parts clean with alcohol or mineral spirit. If possible try to use a 25 ft hose instead of the 50 ft to save some paint. Never forget before start spraying to add a little of mineral oil to the pump. Use the Antifreeze only if you are not going to use the airless machine for more than a month or so. When finish working If you can't clean the sprayer machine or if tomorrow you are going to spray the same paint & color ( wrap the intake hose with plastic and tape to prevent the paint get dry inside ) Only clean a little the gun/ tip. Good luck. 👍 & subscribed

Excellent method of explaining process and instructions. Very helpful to this first-time user.

[@nothating]

I like this video, I don't care if you referred to it as a box, I knew exactly what you were talking about. your video showed some details not in users manual; down for the box, side ways for the hose. I should have watched this first. Thank you. by the way, you gotta be a transplant, noway that accent is from Tampa.

[@RyanScott4ThePeople]

Best video out there! Thank you for explaining this clearly and thoroughly.

[@MNnytrorider]

Thanks for the info. I will be setting up a dedicated tool box for my graco and capspray.

[@graemeharper765]

[@MrTmeade21]

I wish this had been the 1st video I had seen. The other confused me. Well done.

[@markclark110]

Great video Christopher Walken

[@carlford4979]

Awesome tutorial. Well done!

[@chrishall2458]

Very helpful! Thanks for the content.

[@miker8149]

Great Vid Spencver, keep safe and well (covid-19)

[@kyeamans1]

Good job ! Than you

[@danchilds5618]

The stone guard is the screen attached to the end of the intake

[@danielwoolcock7267]

How's do you attach the hose?

[@westway4909]

This was very helpful great video👍🏼

[@AuthenticallyTiffanySerenity]

This is a great video‼️👏🏿

[@nhantran374]

Thanks

[@RussellCheney]

Thanks for the vid!

[@AllenStone-vk1cr]

What about the 440 T Titan impact

[@mileswagman8923]

As far as getting crisp lines if you were painting a wall. What do you do just take the plastic is there any seepage that gets on the ceiling?

[@CreatewithColgan]

I had a sprayer, I used it once or twice, but dreaded the cleanup . I never used it again.

[@spencercolgan]

Loo

[@spencercolgan]

Lol

[@robertbairt9094]

I could easily roll faster out of a five but great attention to detail except your choice of Tip 🤔 pressure?👍

[@spencercolgan]

Tell me. No good??

[@robertbairt9094]

I was asking Tip size (5/15)?&pres? at pump for vertical pattern🤔🎨👍

[@spencercolgan]

@@robertbairt9094 517 tip. 60 % pressure.

[@jamminpeace1]

Thank you Spencer for this info! Greatly appreciated! One ? do you have to clean the sprayer and run fluid through it after every use or each day? Thanks

[@spencercolgan]

Clean after each job.

[@johnthemod71]

You should have put the piston lube in even before you turned the pump on

[@soycracker]

Who is your preferred paint manufacturer

[@spencercolgan]

Behr ultra. Paint and primer. Excellent material.

[@billbaber6653]

Good explanation, but what about showing cleaning the gun.

[@spencercolgan]

Hi. Please KZbin it. In my channel. I’ve done that sir.

[@jamesdaul8540]

Any special type of oil you use?

[@spencercolgan]

Either Graco pump armor or just get pink RV antifreeze

[@nonamebrand8771]

Please get yourself some KNEE PADS ASAP.

[@spencercolgan]

Cuts off my circulation

[@DownloaderVideo]

Man, you keep saying “the box” like if it was a container for paint etc….IT IS NOT. That “box” is where all the electronic controls are located…not paint or liquids of any type. The pressure is built in the manifold/filter assembly.

[@DownloaderVideo]

@@spencercolgan Oh, I'm so sorry. Get well soon.

[@sinagoo]

@@spencercolgandid I just stumble on the most highbrow comeback on KZbin?

[@spencercolgan]

@@sinagoo yes you did

[@Mike-qo4kp]

Lol cover everything that is rich. How about spray without a bunch of overspray.

[@nhantran374]

Thanks
