[@Maghanashi]

Great video as always. Somehow always manage to protect myself from overspray, then get covered while cleaning up!

[@j.hattiebrewer5355]

How fortunate that I found this video with my first selection ‼️. Researching for my first time using a spray painter to paint my mobile home.

Great video

[@marcrogers3810]

great video, well explained. Wish id seen this before using mine for the first time yesterday. Seems my pressure was too low.

[@BEAdventurePartners]

What a great video! We're just about to start spraying our School Bus which we're converting into a tiny home on wheels and are using the Graco 390. This video helped a TON to recognize the different patterns of paint application so that we know what to adjust on our sprayer pressure setting based on how it looks. Thanks so much!! - Brian + Erin

Thank you for this video 👍🏼👍🏼

Very useful and interesting information. We use to say on top size, for instance, a 317 airless tip, the first number, a 3, is your fan width and you double it so a 6" fan, some say you also add in a variance of 2", so then it would be a 6"-8" fan width. And of course the last two numbers/digits a 17 is the office size. If you unsure, usually the material product data sheet will give you a recommended tip size range and you can start at the low end and work your way up. You guys have some really nice spray equipment on your site. Thank you, John

[@AirlessDiscounterInternational]

Thank you so much! and thank you for watching!

[@shadowbanned5164]

Nice video with lots of good info...I just recently bought a airless sprayer and thought I would simply do it and learn as I go...I got a lot of paint drip/run when I used it today so Im guessing I had the wrong tip in play I was using a 5 and should have had a 3....Would the paint run less if I went for a higher pressure with the smaller 3 tip I'm using a Wagner 250m

[@jollyrog007]

Awesome! Thanks

[@ridwansamad268]

May i know what is the airless spray brand you used? And which model is better to used for painting job? And no personal used?

[@AirlessDiscounterInternational]

It depend on your needs only. Feel free to contact us via email for further support. Kind regards, Airless Discounter team

[@R2d2koko]

Hi sir , are you saying that too much mist is the symptom of over spray ? So if i can control the pressure nicely , that is no mist paint will reveal in the ambient ?

[@AirlessDiscounterInternational]

Hi, The control of the pressure is the key yes. Kind regards, Airless Discounter team

[@R2d2koko]

@@AirlessDiscounterInternational thank you for yrs reply , my problem is i always wanted to avoid the mist from falling on the floor , coz i m lazy to cover the whole area 😁😁 , and low pressure can't paint evenly on the surface . And other video , i found they didn't cover the floor sometime , just wander how they control not to over spray without masking ? Or they actually over spray but they just ignore it ? Off course I am still cover the edge of the floor with card board but still the uncovered part remain some mist paint .

[@xbeanx3000]

When looking at the painting methods of a brush, roller and sprayer which uses the least amount of paint to cover the same area? So for example would a roller apply more paint to the wall than using a manual brush (even though a brush takes longer)?

[@dericanslum1696]

...that's entirely equipment and technique dependent...

[@KuriusOranj]

It's been my experience that in general, spraying applies more paint than a roller. I can't imagine painting a wall using only a brush.

[@metalhead9656]

I have a titan 440i I'm new enough to the spray game. Iv done about 3 jobs with it. I'm in the middle of doing some kitchen units. I'm finding my sprayer is pumping way too much material out which leads to runs ect. I have set the pressure high because my spray pattern has fish tails if I dont. In using 310 fflp graco. Any advice?

[@AirlessDiscounter]

The tip might be worn out. You could try a new tip. A smaller tip could help too, as the FFLP308.

[@piotruslondon]

With my Graco gx21 I have lot of overspray , Im using brand new fflp 616 , pressure is set to 100-120 bar ,

[@AirlessDiscounterInternational]

Hi, Thanks for your comment. If you want to reduce overspray, the first step will be to get a green tip and do not select an angle superior to 50°. The larger the angle will be and more overspray you'll get. If you have cabinets to paint, you'll likely choose as well a smaller angle that will help even more reducing it. Last point and none the less, the overspray will vary a lot depending on the paint applied. If your paint is not diluted at all and professional then you'll have automatically less overspray. The more liquid it will get and the more overspray you'll likely be getting. Kind regards, Airless Discounter team

[@piotruslondon]

@@AirlessDiscounterInternational Thanks a lot for Your answer Best regards

[@TCGGRIZL]

What pressure ( 1- 10) would you spray interior walls if your using a Wagner 350 extra also if I was thinking of upgrading my 350 what would be a good model with actual pressure knob

[@AirlessDiscounterInternational]

Hi, Simply adjust your airless spray so that you have a uniform spray from the right to the left of it. > www.airless-discounter.de/news/video-how-to-set-the-pressure-airless-painting-machine/ Kind regards, Airless Discounter team

Good video

[@ChrisLaingDance]

Great info... Hearing your Africaans accent I knew watching the video wouldn't waste my time...

[@AirlessDiscounter]

Thanks Chris, you will find more videos in our channel.

[@piotruslondon]

useful information , thanks a lot from Graco user , POLAND

[@thedalz5308]

Hi great Video, quick question im spraying doors internal, im using a 310 tip as the paint states to use between a 009-011 tip, im doing quick passes but the paint goes on really thick, can i drop down to a 308 to try and put less on door. Thanks

[@AirlessDiscounterInternational]

Hi, You can try 308 or 410. Kind regards, Airless Discounter team

[@ecisldecor8902]

Cool, and useful information.im a painter but just scared to start with the airless sprayer have been following your you tube page since Chris visited germany.

[@AirlessDiscounterInternational]

Thank you for the support! Have you considered renting a machine for a few days just to try it out? Some of the models have a simple, straightforward design that will allow you to experiment, at very little cost. There is a skill element to Airless spraying, however once you get the hang of it, the professionalism and paint finish achieved make it a worthwhile investment!

[@alpma8041]

I got titan 440 impact and brand new tip fflp 410. Spray and clog easily with the new tip, after the reverse tip it work for a little then it will clog again. Try rac x 515 it work normal. What do you think it caused . Thanks

[@DEK981967]

Also put one of the strainers (1 gal. size), over the suction tube and secure it with a rubber band .Tip should stay good all day . And dont forget to use a 100 mesh filter in your gun when using the smaller tip sizes ( .010 - .013 ) .

[@Artie6937]

If your doing what the fellas are saying here and still having problems, time for a new gun filter , you may have a slight hole

[@Oldschoolwoodcraft]

Go to an extra fine filter in your gun handle for the small tips. I've had that same problem before.

[@antallaczko8793]

What material did you spray with it? 410 is good for laquer, stain or wb satin. If it was emulsion you need at least 515. That type of clog should be caused by thick material.

[@mikeveroni]

I paint shipping containers with oil enamel marine grade paint sine 2008. I use a Greco 390, last year I painted probably 80-100 units(3.5-10 gallons per unit) I didn't know about filter and tips required to be changed every so often.(I just cleaned my filters after every use and leave my tip and some thinner inside the gun still just chilling in a pail of xylene, Just changed from tip 215 to a 417.. every four or five units I spray now I find myself replacing the seal inside the paint machine, I was always told to use it on full blast pressure, I feel like this is causing an issue with one of the seals inside the bulk head(wear your metal ball is) causing it to break and needing replacing every 20 or so gallons, would this be fixed was simply turning down my pressure? Or?

[@AirlessDiscounterInternational]

Hi, Using full pressure is already not good yes. It it important to start from bellow and progress up than the opposite. But as commun rule, change the tip regularly and clean well your pump to avoid any quick issue with it. Filters as well when damaged. Kind regards, Airless Discounter team

[@cengizozdemir473]

Rica etsem bu videoyu Türkçe olarak anlatabilir misiniz?

[@ciogon]

hey boys,question:can i use a 315 tip for the spray guide?most of the paint im using is STO:basic ,Opticryl,Sto In etc.is 315 good for the guide?

[@AirlessDiscounterInternational]

I updated the spray tip guide here: www.airless-discounter.de/news/ultimate-airless-spray-tip-guide/

[@stephenc4161]

always taught that the first number is the radius therefore 5 equals 10inch fan..

[@johnmueller155]

Overspray has a lot to do with the material that you’re actually spraying simple as that.

[@mariusz660]

Zajebiście wytłumaczone !!!!!!

[@experimentmodification3437]

150 bar is ideal

[@AirlessDiscounter]

It depends on the material, the tip you use and other factors. 150 bar might be okay for some settings but can be far too much for others. All the best, Stefan

[@socksincrocks4421]

Overspray is what's on your shirt.

[@AirlessDiscounterInternational]

haha indeed!

[@jason4547]

In America we call this a nut stain.

[@warley159]

my only problem is that you don't speak Brazilian Portuguese .

[@AirlessDiscounter]

We have videos in different languages from English and German to French, Italian and Spanish.

[@ragandoil]

Blair is correct , do you know why all tips or imperial and not metric .. americans .. the greatest exponent of tips and they dont do metric , try as you may to convince us other wise 517 10 inch fan with a 17 thousandths wet blade

[@antallaczko8793]

10 inch=25 cm. Same thing. Btw how quick can you calculate 10 inch multiplied by 13 inch in squarefoot? 10cm*13cm=130cm2=0.013m2 and I don't need a calculator for that. Metric is much easier and is precision, how much is 1 micrometer in inches btw?
