Paint Sprayer - Expensive vs Cheap

[@HTFPast]

2 completely different machines, for 2 completely different jobs. The big Graco ( airless ) is used for production, larger projects, like walls, ceilings, exterior stucco, and so on, those machines run at around 1500-2000 psi. The small HVLP ( high volume low pressure ) is used for small projects, such as cabinets, doors, trims. You can't compare 2 different products and expect the same results.

[@danielleLaw007]

Exactly they fools

[@AscensionSeries]

@@danielleLaw007 depends on use, you could be a fool spending too much money if you instead only need it for smaller projects.

[@bobbi62]

I would buy it because I am not a house flipper. Plus I don't have an extra $500 or the space to have an appliance like that sitting around in my basement for when I want to paint a room every couple of years. It was pretty evident from the start of the video what you thought. I am happy with my $40 "cheap version" sprayer. It does what I need it to do.

[@csimet]

Agreed. Different applications need different levels of tools.

[@JohnSmith22222]

Agree, for a small spray job, $40 is great.

[@jamerejr7538]

exactly. the 40 one is good enough and it seems like these 2 just wabt you to buy expensive one andhave it sit in your basement for the bext 4 years

[@4evagrace789]

Thanks for the advice I’m not going to watch the video. I always check the comments first.😂😂

[@dragan3290]

I bought a imitation dewalt and it's actually not bad.

[@warrensmith2902]

18" rollers are great. Those small sprayers are great for small projects, and finer finishes, not full sized rooms.

[@samuelsteinhauer8713]

Guys I love you but you have to learn how to use that buendio. It is an awesome gun. The reason it plugged on you is because you have to mix your paint with some water. I was able to finish a 5 bedroom 2 bathroom house in a less than 2 days with that gun.

[@randythayer8440]

That was after he mixed the water in.

[@majdnemkocka]

@@randythayer8440 yeah, but I think they did not sieve the paint, just poured it stright from the bucket. It might not have been thoroughly mixed.

[@elizamay6402]

Exactly, they sell paper paint strainers/filters for a reason, to get out inevitable chunks. ​@majdnemkocka

[@kenthammer123]

Gotta say I have my Buendio and its an amazing. Does what I need and it a good sprayer. A professional sprayer like that will come in handy for people that are doing renovation work consistently or flipping homes.

[@randythayer8440]

Amazing? Good grief!

[@isaacruizandero6407]

Son dos sistemas completamente distintos. Uno de ellos es sistema airless que consiste en presurizar la pintura para conseguir la atomización. El otro aparato es un sistema similar a la pistola de compresor, que atomiza con aire y aspira la pintura por efecto venturi. No son comparables.

[@kkp4297]

HVLP has its uses. It provides a very smooth finish where it's needed. it's not for drywall. Better to use a roller than cheap hvlp for drywall. You should have kept the HVLP sprayer for when you need to spray cabinets. The airless sprayer would have too much orange peel in that case.

[@Dabby724]

but what if i'm looking to have a smooth finish on my wall?

[@ILruffian]

You can still get a super smooth finish with an airless sprayer or even microfiber rollers. HVLP is for fine finish on things like cabinets or trim, where paints often have substantial gloss to them. @@Dabby724

[@randythayer8440]

Oh no! I used the Graco to prime and paint my walls and drywall, and the finish was near perfect! Do I have a faulty sprayer? What do I do now?!

[@elili8016]

If you’re painting the whole house then rent the expensive one. If you’re doing one room then use the cheap one. I painted one room under 40 min using a cheap sprayer.

[@mikecurtis1111]

Are the filters in the window really necessary? What are you trying to protect? Surely you've sprayed something outside before, right?

[@stevecrawford333]

Try inkwell on the ceiling, gossameir veil on the walls and snowbound trim.. amazing color combo

[@tommyboi76]

I told my lady the exact thing you guys concluded. Good luck trying to convince her. She has like 3 of those sprayes, various sizes. Cumbersome, slow, uneven consistency. It's a no for me. She took 2 days, spraying a relatively small space while I rolled the same size space in 20 to 40 minutes tops.

[@hashbestus8502]

That small, cheap Amazon sprayer is an HVLP running at 1-15 psi (high volume low pressure) vs your Graco which is an airless running at 1000-1500 psi. The HVLP is great (maybe not that cheap brand) for painting trim and doors that are in place in a finished house as there is very little masking involved and almost zero overspray.

[@whoeverwhoever400]

Can sprayer use any kind of spray, latex, oil, acrylic and etc?

[@wittydisplayname1761]

Yes.

[@vboutique2188]

Is the only benefit to spraying speed? Does the quality match just rolling on?

[@btbd2402]

No, there are MANY advantages to spraying, all depending on the task. From saving paint, to quicker application, to getting in tight areas, and many more reasons spraying is a huge advantage. However , it only matters if you know what you are doing! These guys are still learning, big time.

[@EdgarD4GEspada]

Can that lil paint sprayer work on a mobile home? 900-950 sq ft? Thanks In advance

[@rockymtnman1760]

Funny, I bought a Cordless Paint Sprayer off Amazon for $100 to paint the outside of my small Barn. I started thinking I would have to keep refilling that small reservoir all the time to get the job done. So, I just went with a Roller and Paint Bruch and painted the Barn that way. i'll use that Cordless Paint Sprayer for smaller jobs. Thanks

[@vicjar]

If you after priming have to paint 2 more top coats, and using only brush and roler, i believe cover all and spray 3 times in total is much faster then paint with roller

[@jhill6033]

If you were gonna do a comparison of expensive vs cheap, they need to be both contractor grade machines, I have used the Titan vs Harbor Freight sprayers. You can get the job done, but the better sprayers just have more functions, more powerful, and better built in quality.

[@comemetaldetectwithme]

I got my sprayer from home depot and it was around 250 and I love it!

[@angelmika2010]

Glad to see you guys back. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for more content.

[@mrsV420]

Thanks for the advice. I’ll keep my roller

[@ReidMewborne]

This really helps me decide for painting our new house. I have a question for you two - have y’all ever painted over a glossy stained trim with the sprayer? I know I need to sand and prep, but is it worth it to DIY or should we pay someone? Thanks. And thanks for the content.

[@WhatTheFlipShow]

The best result will be to sand the trim to bare wood, but this is very time consuming. You could also use a bonding primer over the stain so you won’t have to sand as much. In our previous house flip we painted all of the trim which was heavily lacquered and stained. We sanded some down to bare wood, and for the doors we just used a bonding primer and both results look great. Hope this helps!

[@ReidMewborne]

@@WhatTheFlipShow thank you! I actually just found someone using a dustless sandblaster for the trim and more detailed areas. If we still go the DIY route I think this could be a great route. Thanks!!

[@1stFlyingeagle]

Also, with the bigger units with hoses, you can buy extensions for better reach and a roller assembly. Have you ever thought how fast you could roll paint a wall if you never had to dip the roller? Instead you just pump the trigger.

[@AscensionSeries]

You'd buy it for quickly doing murals-the background I have, but not using that brand. You'd need to thin it properly and on most, you can change the spray shape. What I need is more containers to quickly swap colors.

[@WhatTheFlipShow]

Get an air compressor and a gravity fed sprayer cheap and waaaaaaay more control for artistic work

[@AscensionSeries]

@@WhatTheFlipShow Already have pro tools ie; compressor and an iwata eclipse - it's for smaller stuff. Unfortunately the air compressor can't candle the constant work/spread of the larger .5 needle for long durations and I just can't really buy an new one. I bought a paint sprayer similar to the one you have but from Milwaukee and it works awesome. Within 5 minutes I was able to mostly fill a 45x60" Canvas artistically. I was thinking about ones used for cars but I have to investigate the flexibility/ level of detail I could create. Anyway, the cordless sprayer is awesome. Its good to have bigger tools to do quick fills, now I have both - it saved hours!

[@hashbestus8502]

When your setting up or breaking down your sprayer remove the orange Safety housing and tip and that’ll keep it from sending all that pressurized overspray out of the bucket.

[@proudcanadianeh4663]

amazing vide thank you! I also have a beard and will be working a lot with lacquer and sanding, I want to take care of my lungs but do not want to shave my beard (as long as yours). Cant afford one of those 1000$+ masks. What is your solution?? I am thinking of rocking a normal 3M mask and just making it extremely tight. Thanks for your advice

[@amiloddengamor4722]

can i use this for car painting and clear coat?

[@UptownStore-y6e]

The video was awesome to watch. Learned so much and got the answers I was looking for. Much appreciated! 🤗

[@Supranforever]

I would never want to use this for a whole room, I would however use this for something like, a custom mantle, spraying molding/trim before installing, something like that.

[@WatchTashi]

Why would you compare these two sprayers? The Graco isn't "professional" it's homeowner diy. But it's still going to be much better than a cheap plastic one from China.

[@ILruffian]

This is correct. That is a homeowner airless sprayers. While pro Graco airless sprayers can run up to $10K, the classic is the Graco 395 at about $1,500.

[@1stFlyingeagle]

I love the magnum x7. I screwed up and recked the pump on the first unit. So I went and bought another one. It is an excellent sprayer, and it can spray some thick paint flawlessly.

[@davidluk5963]

Love your video, that is exact the pin point! Thanks again.

[@LemonySnickerz_DM]

The Wagner model you don’t need to thin it but it costs 130 but it works just as well. You do need to spend 20 minutes cleaning it but if you already have a professional model then I’d definitely recommend it for commercial jobs

[@Matt-uj9wl]

Good job guys, I'm just about to paint a rental so good timing!

[@logansneed2882]

Id just spend my money on the "Professional Sprayer" you can do multiple things alot more efficiently with those especially if you're flipping or trying to make a hustle out of it. You could do paint and stain alot eaiser imo.

[@dbackscott]

I used to have one of those Graco sprayers (got it used off of Facebook marketplace). It was way overkill for a DIY-er. Made painting my fence a breeze, though.

[@randythayer8440]

I want to buy a cheap sprayer to paint some doors for a better finish than a roller/hand painting will do (there are lots of bevels). I dont want to spray paint rooms or entire houses...would a cheap sprayer live up to the job?

[@WhatTheFlipShow]

Of course! But If you have an air compressor I’d recommend a gravity feed sprayer for the smoothest result, but the cheap handheld sprayer would do the job!

[@budgarner3522]

$500 too much for retired ol' me. $40 Amazon? I have time, but not that much time. Off to a brush and roller to paint my shed. Now, will my wife let me pick the colors I want or will I have to defer to the graphic design maven? I promise not to do polka dots or stripes. I'm liking a rusty barn red with white trim but will it fly?

Personally I would buy quality product snd task care of iy.. I would like to see a video comparing Fuji Turbine sprayer to the graco. Airless VS Turbine both $500 The turbine may give less overspray

[@abigailjacob4043]

I have honestly not had great luck with the Graco Magnum sprayer. We've tried to use it multiple times, but on ours we could NEVER get the pressure adjusted to have a smooth solid spray without tails, even at the highest setting, and with the pressure that high, we had drips EVERYWHERE and had to sand down. It was so disappointing to have spent that much and not had good results, and we used it on multiple projects trying to figure out if we were doing anything wrong. I honestly now wonder if we had a defective unit.

[@WhatTheFlipShow]

We hate to hear that! It’s very possible, or maybe the tip/gun is bad. You may want to try replacing those if you haven’t already. Also at paint stores you can get low pressure/fine finish tips for even smoother results than the standard tip that comes with the machine.

[@abigailjacob4043]

@@WhatTheFlipShow We suspected the tip too, so we replaced it with a fine finish tip and still had the same problem.

[@WhatTheFlipShow]

I think the unit is defective! Id call the manufacturer. So sorry for the bad luck!!!

[@dessingo]

Paint too thick. Add 5% water. .. Don't get too excited, trying to finish with just one coat. .. Apply thin coats but do 2. .. One coat is never enough. .. Don't get the spray gun too close to the object. .. 12 to 14 inches work well.

[@davidburdsal5301]

@@dessingoI agree 99%. I personally hate when (cheaper) sprayers say to hold it 6" from the wall. You hold spray paint cans 8 - 10" from the wall! I like about 10" (insert Beavis laugh here) from the wall for almost all sprayers. People that buy a $40 sprayer vs a $120 sprayer.... I'm like really? You have to look at these walls every day for like 10 years and you're trying to save $80? If you can't afford a $120 sprayer, use a roller. Compromise elsewhere.

Yes, they are a pain. Any of those fan-based HVLP sprayers are a nightmare with unthinned latex and other waterbornes. Stepping up to a real airless sprayer is a night and day difference.

[@justicedog3696]

This seems an unfair comparison. It's like comparing a pick up to a corvette and saying which will be better for a farm, or an artist's paint brush with a paint roller and asking what's going to paint a wall better. I think the small paint sprayer is the one to use for cabinets or furniture, while the industrial one is for larger areas, like walls. Must be nice to be able to just toss out $50, likely someone else could have used it and you don't create more garbage.

There's nothing wrong with thinning primer it increases the space it covers and I aim to always be cost effective. Always.

[@ILruffian]

Unless you have one of the many primers where it says "do not thin" in the materials data sheet. While not common with paints, this direction is often included with primers. There are many ways to be penny wise and pound foolish with painting, thinning primer is one of them. It's all fun and games until you see adhesion fail for the first time. Then you have to start from square one. Scrape off the blisters, compound, sand, then primer again.

I bought a couple similar to yours…POS all started to work ok then splattered ruined job everytime!
