You are the only Professional Painter I key up and watch on KZbin, I just want to extend my gratitude and thank you for the amount of help you've given. Considering, as a 50yr old dude. I'm living in my grandparents parents home built in 1930. Your clear and informative instruction has been almost as good as scripture, meaning Top-Notch info, keep up the good work. Once again Thank you and GOD BLESS.

I don't often leave comments in videos, but I think I just learned more about painting than I have in 40 years of being a homeowner. I'm not telling my wife about any of this... you just became my secret weapon! Well done, I'm in...

[@robertrohr3990]

As a lifelong painter and contractor my earliest experiences in the late 1960s were done primarily with pot and hose as airless was just coming in and the old timers I worked for were resistant to them. My years contracting in residential/comml were all airless. I was also in the era of oil base enamels and switching to the early water base products with their growing pains. Always enjoyed painting.

[@agangmusic5418]

Wow, great video! Glad you took the time to make this video as even professionals and airless sprayer sellers in my area couldn't explain this! Thank you

[@Elviretube]

As a 65+ active woman, revamping my home, giving it a face lift, I am learning so much from you, THANK YOU!! You are a no BS guy, I love that, keep it simple, show/tell what works for what and what does not!! Love your education, sure helps speed up my project! Hugz.

I have a Graco X7. Can't go up to a 619. SO I bought a 517 going off your tip of a wider fan and more paint. What a difference between it and the 415 I had on the rough cedar siding. Didn't think it would be that noticeable. I went to painting myself after getting ripped off by the contractor that did our siding by thinning his paint and laying down just enough to change the color (paid for by insurance after a hail storm). The paint was thin enough that one pass with a 2300psi washer removed the entire coat, exposing the older color underneath. Talked to a contractor who told me some painters cheated on insurance jobs to maximize profits as he'd repainted houses that had been painted that way on an insurance claim. Made me wish you were here in Colorado. :)

[@howdydoodymikearoody]

totally helped me out quite a bit, using a 515 ,have others too, primariliy doing inside (im a trim contractor shooting my own house) you really were awesome on everything, quite informative, im gonna get the other ones just to have if nothing else. Thanks again!!!

[@carlosf.6272]

I've been learning from this guy on his channel. This guy is just experienced and good

[@Idahopainter]

Thanks Carlos

[@renzo4296]

You're amazing and I watch you all the time, I've been painting 22 years now and always like to keep learning and you are the man, I use 310"s for trim work, I carry a 410 in my pocket and I switch it out when I get to my doors, that way I don't have to adjust my pressure cause it's the same orifice size so just switch it out, do my doors then can switch my#310 back in and continue with my millwork, if I'm using acrylics I make sure that I have a medium course gun filter so it can pass through and atomize properly, if I'm spraying lacquers I use a fine finish filter and use a fine finish tip . Another thing we'd do when doing car lot's on exteriors, Wed put in a bigger tip , turn down the pressure to where it's literally fingering and back roll, of course back rolling is a must, we'd just do it so there was no over spray, basically it was coming out like a garden hose. We also spray down to the Second to last board on lap siding on exteriors, basically cut in underneath the board with the gun so we don't have to mask off the foundation, just roll out the bottom board. Thank you so much for your pro tips and knowledge. Sincerely Lorenzo gig harbor WA.

[@allhartfidelity]

Love them HEA tips. Much new construction or repaints here (ect) houses are 3ft apart. The hea prevent me from masking the wall of the neighbors house. Thank you for your time in the video

[@oregonsdank]

So the lower pressure just keeps over spray in the air down?

[@allhartfidelity]

@@oregonsdank thats part of it yes. They also fan off on the edges better for less hard lines. Less flash when we overlap higher sheen paints like whats going on with exterior paints in my region. They put out close to the same gpm as a standard tip though. They are not to be confused with a fine finish tip though. Graco, Titan, Tritech all also now have fine finish tips fflp (fine finish low pressure) that go WAY up in size. 6 21 in some cases. Not all fine finish are low pressure but many new ones are. Shooting a 3 story house thats 4 feet from another 3 story house, these low pressure tips are worth the weight in gold. I dont mask the neughbors house. I can also get my gun a lot closer to the wall. Small pumps can now run tips, and work half as hard. They literally extend the life of packings. I can mask less, which is less man hours. Run 12" paper on a dormer and haul ass.

[@rich5034]

Thanks Patrick

[@steveogee7458]

Graco FFLP 518, 414, 310. No exactly the same, but they work for me. I sprayed a large interior ceiling today with a 5ft wand equipped with a Graco clean shot and had extremely light paint fall. You really give great advice and I enjoy your videos. Thanks.

[@matthewstevens9960]

ive always used a 623 blue tip for ceilings and a 517 for walls but the way i learned for walls was to always backroll it in so i always like a old worn out 517 thats all blown out to do walls with cuz we back roll it anyways

[@holdenbreau7187]

515 tip would you use that aswell for exterior brick? Brick has recessed mortar joints and has been previously painted. Thanks for all the videos!!

[@chadrockman1762]

This video is unbelievable!! Thanks for sharing👍

[@Idahopainter]

Your welcome🤙

[@AzaB2C]

Super useful. Thanks! Consider including time indexed summary/notes. 310 fine finish for doors. Or fences even if trying to limit overspray. 510 fine finish if lots of doors. 515 for all exterior work. Brick. Some interior work. 619 for high/fast production interior walls. Not for super smooth walls, risk of fingering/lapping. HEA for level 5 finish. Cheers!

@@kal7844 515 just giver a go! it's not very hard to get used to the speed of it, test it on a large piece of cardboard, overlap your sprays by half each pass.

Here's a question for ya, hope you see this, there's a home with lots of interior trim, 1" outside corner trim, 2" and 3" trim around all doors, baseboard and next to ceiling. Should I use a smaller fan tip like 110 for that? i've never used smaller than 210 before, is it worth getting that tip size?

[@dadlife8289]

Thanks Chris, I'm almost done with prep on my exterior and about to spray. Your videos have helped a lot. I'm going to use 515 for the body, and a FFLP 310 for the trim

[@wheelofstars]

What would the difference be between a 310 versus a 619 for walls? I am going to paint the walls, trim, and baseboards all the same color, so which tip would be best for that? Since I would want to get it done as quickly and efficiently as possible, would the 619 be the better tip? I am learning SO much from you! I want to be loaded with as much knowledge as possible before using my first air sprayer.

[@hannablom5803]

I have a question about the colors of the tips. I'm gonna by an airless "Wagner control pro 250M" and in that package I'll get tip 517 and 311. What confuses me so much is that they are both the same color (green) so does that mean that the 311 is NOT for fine finish quality? Does it have to be both a lower number and another color to be fine finish? I really hope that someone can help me with this question before buying the spray gun. (I am not a professional- more of a DIY:er).

[@garyhopkinssr8561]

Do you thin down water-based paints at all when painting with the fine finish tip?

[@666AzzAzEll0]

I've noticed you are using a spray wand without the "clean shot"??? How do you deal with spitting?

[@spikedairstudio2888]

I appreciate the information. I've got experience with automotive and airless painting, but the doors I'm spraying now are driving me bonkers. The paint doesn't dry as it should (I figure due to thickness of paint). I've been using the recommended airless tip in a FF format, but will try stepping down to a .010 from a .016.

[@MV-wb2cz]

little late here but you probably need to thin the paint if it's thicker if you are using FFLP tips

Graco says to go with a 315, but you are recommending a 310. Is there a significant difference between a 310 v 315? Should I be concerned if my sprayer can accept a 310?
