This is an excellent video - the presentational style of the expert is first class. Learned so much watching this.

[@alwaysrockn2009]

I’m not a Pro-painter but every time I watch one of Chris’s videos it makes me want to buy a sprayer and paint. Rock on Chris!

[@Idahopainter]

[@joebinion1]

[@mrwolf750]

The one thing I wish i hadn't covered with paint @ 8:30 is myself :( Which is why I am watching this video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us airless sprayer amateurs.

[@pedrocarralero805]

Great information! Thank you!

[@CHUNKYCATSFISHING]

Absolutely fantastic video nicely done 👊

[@scottsteacy4103]

Poly , paper and dropclothes usually work for me 🤪🤪🤪 . But the fflp tips are quite nice . New les s experienced painters need to learn to keep the pressure low as you can while keeping a nice fan .

[@Doffa2k]

Thanks for the tips! next time i will try to pre heat the paint before we spray it!

[@Idahopainter]

Thanks for watching!

[@lnc23]

I literally had just put his video and skipped it since I seen yours. Just to see this dude again🤣

[@roberthill4239]

Thank you

[@Leroyjenkinsjnr]

Great video. I'm brand new, this week, with a Graco 390. I'm using a massive amount of paint, using Leyland super leytex emulsion and a 517 tip. It's scary how much I'm going through. Hopefully this video will help reduce things. Thankyou

[@wainainadan8102]

How are progressing am facing the same problem

[@jamesozment1]

Drop tip orifice size to 515 or drop pressure

[@jamesozment1]

517 is a larger .017 orifice size than .015. A 517 would be more for commercial use or a thicker material.

[@kansasgardener5844]

Another great video. Thanks !

[@Idahopainter]

Thanks for watching!

[@carrievillalobos5330]

It would be great if you did a spraying course!!

[@Artie6937]

Thank you Idaho painter 👌Blair Wise study up 🤣

[@conradyo9274]

Thanks every time I watch your videos I think I'm a good painter but as soon as I start watching I'm like ok I'm not that great. Lol

[@drewcama5481]

My biggest problems is uneven finish on ceilings. I had a big dining room living room ceiling . I primed, and sprayed 2 coats over 3 days and when it was all dry and the light came in at a certain time in the day it looked streaky. I finally rolled a third finishing coat. My pressure was good, I over lapped the edges by about 3 - 4 inches and it looked good when wet.

[@emersongarrett3904]

Sorry to be off topic but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost the password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.

[@emersongarrett3904]

@Ian Benicio I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and Im trying it out atm. Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@emersongarrett3904]

@Ian Benicio it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thanks so much, you saved my account !

[@ianbenicio1035]

@Emerson Garrett You are welcome xD

[@marcconner8382]

Probably not enough paint. Dont be afraif to load it up. Dont quit...ceilings were the hardest for me to figure out...also make sure the ceiling area isnt too warm.

[@wayne246]

You have taught me something, in return I shall teach you something. Some Abreva will clear that cold sore up really quick.

[@Idahopainter]

lol, thank you!

[@deejunior8014]

I've got a wagner 250r sprayer HEA getting the pressure right on it with 517 tip ? Can't tell what pressures it's on can you help please?

[@MrCorrupt1982]

You dont need to know what pressure you have, all you want it the correct pattern and remember that setting. If you really want to know what pressure you have you can buy a gauge and put it on the gun.

[@joeboo9801]

Is that the $200 plastic paint sprayer? If so those only give a few settings and are garbage

[@ceaserwilliams1650]

Hi big fan, how to avoid running when spraying cabinets, thanks

[@janknuno6033]

Stand back and spray ever so lightly, doing multiple passes with very light passes. Of course remove the doors and hardware. The doors always get done somewhere else if you plan to spray them. If you do get a run, keep a medium nap cigar roller handy. Use a dry nap that doesn't shed Just hit the run ASAP so it blends in . Scrape excess paint off roller to keep it like a sponge to get that excess paint. Then you can do a light pass over the spot later if it should need a bit more blending

[@MrWolfalfred]

Hi. Got overspray on porous brick due to lack better masking. Any suggestions on removing it? Thanks.

[@johnguilbert1349]

Not sure if goof off would work for the brick, but it can be good sometimes, there is paint stripper, the strongest being aircraft stripper which will take any type of paint and melt it away.

[@jjlutube]

Mask off your freshly painted surface and use a pressure washer with a wide fan pattern to remove the over spray paint from the bricks. Make sure to stand back away from the bricks and only get as close as you need to slowly remove the paint. Keeping the pressure washer nozzle at a distance away will prevent any damage to brick, stone or stucco material from the high pressure water jet.

[@NewsBroadcasting]

Simple question how do you reduce overspray, (magnum x5) paint in air, airborne paint, for more precision painting with this unit? Chinese unit didnt do this and my machine from 30 years ago. made sure area is warm, paint is warm . not just the water reduced pressure to lowest. So much paint is wasted with this unit. I would like to reduce volume , just like they paint in their demo video, they are painting 4 inch wide area and no over spray in the air.

[@Idahopainter]

The right tip and pressure

[@NewsBroadcasting]

@@Idahopainter first thing i did was put 211 simialr result, pressure is on the lowest near start. thank you for replying!

[@michaelled027]

How much pressure do I need for a 531 tip

[@Idahopainter]

2200

[@janknuno6033]

Oh yeah... I almost forgot No matter what paint you choose... If you use latex, ALWAYS use top quality (Glidden) and add about half a cup of water and half a pint of Floetrol. It will extend the dry time for much, much longer , this leaving a much nicer, even finish.

[@9mmkahr]

I can't dance or mountain climb, can I still paint?

[@Idahopainter]

Yep

[@Klocaine237]

Lets talk about Ninja. And what was south africa up to in 1920 or 1620. ??? Give it a google

[@janetperez4389]

Anyone here have any experience with farrow and ball paint ?

[@robertbaker7223]

Janet Perez had lots of problems with getting runs with spraying there Estate eggshell. Dropped the pressure and it was alright!

[@Roman83x]

yes! painted a few kitchens, was really great. Play with pressure

[@MrLeshop]

[@MicroSBs]
