Wagner Control Pro 150 Airless Sprayer - Review and Demo

[@Liazon098]

I'm really glad that you mentioned about the nozzle. I did not know that. And now it makes more sense. I guess I have to keep a habit up!! Wishing you well in the fall of 2024. I hope I change my habit and keep a rag with me.

[@Wes777goldmbr777]

If you swap the tip guard and tip system for a Graco RAC X tip guard, you can use Graco FFLP tips. Change the gun filter to fine which slows the flow right down as you have no pressure control on that unit. This is good for 90% of house paints. You'll find it hardly spits and all, you'll have a lot more control, and there's no overspray hardly, also saves a load of paint.

[@reccesquadron4062]

How do you change the gun filter?

[@kaashifawan3649]

Which fflp tip do you recommend as they come in different variations mate thanks in advance

[@Colwray1]

Have you tried this with gloss paint? I’ve been considering one just for this purpose… not a big fan of my HVLP at mo

[@whatname6703]

Thanks for the detailed video Cob! I think it's funny how ppl ask you expert advice like you got all the answers.

[@NoCPU]

Some good points I wish I knew ahead of purchase. I had an air quality meter outside of my spray room and it went red about 15mins after spraying because of the VO2 and particle matter in the air. These devices are great for speed and efficiency, but everyone should exercise caution when using.

[@theweekendcraftsman486]

Yea always need to run a respirator for sure!

[@prestonheath5524]

This video actually makes this machine look good I’ve just bought a brand new one so let’s get it on

[@HuanDIY]

I agree with you, this , sprayer is more suitable for outdoor use, such as fence as you will not notice the splatter issue. I have tried 515 tip and 311 tip, both got the same splatter and going to Bunnings to replace the product to see how is going

[@theweekendcraftsman486]

Aside from the splatter how does the 311 tip spray?

[@HuanDIY]

@@theweekendcraftsman486 Super smooth and looks like factory finish

[@gary162]

Thanks mate, really good review. I went and purchased one at Bunnings

[@rshutterbug47]

VERY VERY VERY GOOD REVIEW, So We Now Do Know We Need The Small Hand Held Even Though We Have Some Outside, & Were Going To Figure Out HOW Mu ch Water We Need & Make Up 4 to 6 Extra Mixes & Just Have Them Ready, Like Empty Coffee Cans W/ Lids,& it Should Work Out Great, & Thank You

[@Daren1811]

Great video, I have this model and sprayed my fence with it which was great. Second time I cleaned it out, a leak from underneath the outlet valve occurred. It’s not the hose connections at that end either, it’s definitely coming from under the hopper just under the hose. Any advice on this, has this ever happened to you?

[@Phantoma3]

This is the airless sprayer I was going to buy from Bunnings Hardware but I've watched a few negative videos about it and decided to pony up the extra for a Graco.

[@reggiepalmer6157]

How did that unit work out for you have to give stucco multiple codes or can you cover it once?

[@elainejackson0411]

Feeling very confident Sir, thank you. Blessings 🖤

[@theweekendcraftsman486]

All the best

[@RickBartlett-l5s]

I’m thinking about getting one of these for ceilings. I have two prograde units but do t want to use them for just doing a couple ceilings. The ease and shorter hose is attractive to me.

[@mark1hancock]

Thanks for your video, it was great to see some of the negatives as well as the positives which is all you seem to get from the other "How to do" videos out there. (They don't have any paint on their clothes and a new unit each time I'm sure). Will have a house to paint later in the year (If it can ever get built) so will probably go down the spraying path.

[@theweekendcraftsman486]

Glad you liked it! I definitely have paint on my clothes when I use it and also wanted to show that everyday people make mistakes when they use it also!

[@MaxTSanches]

Thanks for the video I'm looking to get one of that model for spraying some book shelves. :)

[@theweekendcraftsman486]

Awesome, make sure you get a smaller tip like a 310 for that sort of thing as the standard tip it comes with puts way too much paint out for book shelves (I’ve tried it).

[@PBsky-f8x]

Can you use greco tips? ​@@theweekendcraftsman486

[@leroysmith2295]

Im actually looking at painting so this looks sweet

[@theweekendcraftsman486]

Definitely get into it! Save yourself some $

[@J05BNL]

Thnx for the tips, bought this unit also. Next week 500m2 to do 🏠

[@theweekendcraftsman486]

Awesome! Best of luck. With that much to do it would be worth checking the filter regularly. I did a whole smaller house the other day, 4 coats and the filter was wrecked at the end.

[@ThePaulg123]

​@@theweekendcraftsman486are the filters expensive to replace? Also can purchasing different tips give the unit a wide range of use? So say the other half wanted to do a wooden cabinet can you get a more controlled spray that way?

[@reggiepalmer6157]

​@ How well does it cover stucco.? When painting stucco, do you need to give it that?Many coats four coats in order to cover it properly?theweekendcraftsman486

[@renostubbs8504]

Nicely demonstrated mate, how many coats do you prefer to use in a room that size

[@theweekendcraftsman486]

Cheers, usually the undercoat plus two top coats is enough to get a really nice finish

[@renostubbs8504]

Excellent job mate, thank you@@theweekendcraftsman486

[@grimgrimey]

It's a great video for how to use the gun,it's limitations and it's cons(paint splatter). I think I'll just use it for the roof and fence,usually it's roll the roof but it's metal tiles so this cheap machine is worth it because I noticed the time it takes to mask up,set up and actually spray the ceiling I could have cut and rolled it in the same time or quicker but for large interior ceilings I'd give it a crack.thanks

[@mijit.859]

So when You go to use it again ok, do You have to put water in to prime it again?? Or do You just pour the paint in the hopper! & prime first & then switch to spray mode!? 😕🥺🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Whitetankexotics]

You have to prime after each use and clean. During painting don’t let the hopper run out of paint and won’t need to prime

[@jessicaatkinson7393]

Do you still need to do 2 coats?

[@duckhunter8387]

ThxQ. Think I'll stick with brush and roller. I can do a room faster with only a drop cloth.

[@theweekendcraftsman486]

Maybe a small one, but not when it’s 3 times the size. Trust me, I’ve done both and it’s much faster to spray and a much better finish

[@MAGAMAN]

@@theweekendcraftsman486 Now when you consider the time it takes to mask everything off very carefully so no over-spray gets under the paper and ruins cabinets, furniture or floors. You also can usually get away with a single coat of primer and a single coat of paint with a roller and you always need at least two coats with a sprayer because you have to thin down the paint with cheap sprayers like you are using.

[@benlee9647]

will this do fine coats for furniture?

[@jjgalletta66]

I could have painted an entire room with a roller in the time it took to set up that sprayer. 😂😂😂

[@rickyboyzambales5355]

Sir it can direct from the can the paint in wagner container, no need thinning?

[@theweekendcraftsman486]

Yes you can, I just like to thin that dulux paint slightly

Thanks! Just the 515 that came with it.

How are these for exterior house painting?

[@theweekendcraftsman486]

Fantastic, painted my whole brick/plaster house with it

[@MrPeteroni1]

Does Wagner Pro 130 work with Behr Marquee (application 0.015-0.019) with a 515 tip or have any issues?

[@theweekendcraftsman486]

Not sure about the 130 sorry!

[@Umaru1982]

The first time I used mine there was so much dust in the air I only used the tip 515. I believed to also had used more paint. May I ask which tip did u use?

[@theweekendcraftsman486]

That’s a 515, but smaller would be much better in a small room like that

[@marcosecordero]

Why mine it was bran new but the two times i try to use it it will sprayed but it will stop after a couple of seconds and won't spray no more. Sometimes i switch the green nuzzle to have a string of paint and will prayed again for a couple of seconds and will stop again. I clean the nuzzle and still does the same thing. Any idea why anyone?

[@2318291]

Probably to thick paint , use cheese close for filter the paint , also change your filter in your paint gun

[@richardmclellan7108]

How much extra paint did you find yourself using compared to rolling paint ?

[@theweekendcraftsman486]

I’ve never really measured but at a guess probably 30%.

[@waiter7]

Using a sprayer you should always strain the paint

[@theweekendcraftsman486]

Not necessary with that dulux paint

[@we_will_strengthen_ourselves]

Unlucky with the roof! How do you know how much to water down the paint?

[@theweekendcraftsman486]

Usually says on the side of the paint bucket but I just put a splash in. I certainly didn’t need the water that hit the roof though!

[@L.E.E-iiLVyo]

Quicker to cut in an use a roller inside

[@theweekendcraftsman486]

Depends on how much you’re doing and how fast you work!

[@L.E.E-iiLVyo]

@@theweekendcraftsman486 I bet i could do an entire house at random start to finish with a roller quicker , bet ? 🤣

[@MAGAMAN]

@@L.E.E-iiLVyo You would save a ton of time on prep and cleanup and not need to do multiple coats on a normal colored wall. People think sprayers are faster, but unless you are painting an empty house with no flooring and no trim, it's not. With a brush and roller, you need a drop cloth and your paint, brush, roller and a paint screen. Push the furniture away from the wall, put down your drop cloth and start painting. My 80 year old dad could probably still out paint anyone with a sprayer while using only a brush and roller in a home that is lived in.

I have this machine. Opened it up and saw all the gears are plastic and so is the piston. This will fail sooner or later. When it works, results are nice. Just not made to last.

A paint sprayer is more trouble than it's worth for painting walls, especially in a room that small.

You should spray on a masking sheet when you start and continue without stopping from that point to avoid the orange peel effect.
