Don't quit your day job.

I'm totally confused on how to use it. Sure can't paint the grass by mistake.

Listen at 1.50. You're welcome.

I notice you did not prime the paint sprayer with water before running the paint. Also you did not dilute the paint. Any reason for not water or mineral spirit priming and diluting? Thanks in advance.

Great deal. If your a serious painter it will make your money back x10 plus. Sprayed whole exteriors of house's with it . year later still works like new. Just clean it with water after each use

The grass looks great now. Green was a little outdated and you want to differentiate yourself from the neighbors too. I hadn’t thought of that. Great job.

I like mine, just learned using good paint is a must, or filter really well.

Can anybody paint a house using this item or it should be done by a professional.

thanks boss subbed

I dunno about squirting all that paint onto the lawn, lol.

Thanks for the advice god bless

You just set the sprayer ontop of the 5 gal bucket works fine

Why do these people that make stupid comments exist?

Thank you but next time don’t kill the grass.

Mine worked fine on a 5g bucket no problem. No stand needed

i felt a sleep few times in those 5 mins......

This sprayer works great. You do need to clean it thoroughly with water if your using water based paint (latex) and mineral spirits if using an oil based paint. (Same level of cleaning as the Graco|Titan models). You do need to fill the pump mechanism with pump storage oil after cleaning and ready for storage (same as a Graco|Titan model). You can prime this unit with water then switch to paint if your trying to conserve or limit wasted paint. You DO NOT have to thin regular latex ceiling or wall paint, but you should thin "all in one" (primer & paint combo or "one coat coverage" branded paints) as these are thicker and will require max pressure to provide average coverage. (Max pressure = max over spray and quick consumption (over coverage) of paint sprayed). You want to operate this unit at the lowest pressure possible required to produce a clean 'fan' of sprayed paint for best performance, max paint yield, and minimum over spray. You WILL test your fan pattern on one of the MANY scraps of cardboard you have at the ready to prevent over spray on your brick foundation, wood deck, window screens, and small children running amok cause Mom went to get her nails done. Pay close attention to the amount of paint in your feed bucket. Add often. You don't want to draw paint down, lose suction, and have to re-prime Midway through your project. You WILL keep your paint in the shade AND covered at all times. You CAN spray with the tip that comes with the unit, but you're going to go to the big box stores to buy pump oil for storage, an extra 50' hose, 2 x 2 packs of spray gun filters (they're cheap and say Graco on the packaging), two Chinese crescent wrenches for disassembly and reassembly of the spray wand for cleaning, so just go ahead and buy a 515 tip while you're there. (A whip hose is also a fine investment but I digress.) If you paint till you run out of paint, switch to water for cleanup. If you still have prime and are done painting, switch to water, turn unit off, release pressure on gun aimed in source bucket, remove nozzle and tip, power on, and use pump to push remaining paint in hose into source paint can. When it starts pumping water, release trigger, aim sprayer in waste bucket, and pump water till all but clear. It will never be 100% clear as filter in gun handle has to be cleaned (replaced with one of 4 purchased earlier?) as well as rest of spray gun, but get it 90% clear and then focus on cleaning suction hose, suction hose filter, and the spray gun. If you need to change colors, you can without cleaning spray gun, but cycle a minutes worth of paint into source before you start painting again. Clean the gun when your done - not tomorrow. Take your time, use the lowest pressure possible, and remember to compliment Mom on her nails. Be sure and lube pump with oil for storage (instructions on bottle) so that the sprayer will prime next weekend when you help your neighbor paint his project. Great sprayer for the money, and requires the EXACT same cleanup time as ones double the price. You will know you're doing it right when time spent painting is about a quarter of overall time spent prepping, masking, and cleanup compared to actual spray time. Take your time. Mom might just "scratch your back" later when she see's the awesome job you've done! (Tip - hide receipts from Harbor Freight and big box stores).

We have enough pollution on this planet and you prime the paint on the grass having a bucket?

I bought it too It's good, but you have flush, flush, flush when done. Flush and clean EVERYTHING. This includes the Final Filter in the gun handle. Clean the nozzle and tip and gun too. The final filter can goin the wrong way. The paint goes from the outer screen to the hole in the top then to the nozzle. You blow air into the final filter If air goes through you have it upside down. Turn it over and put the gun together. The instructions don't mention this so I put it in upside down the first time. It is hard not to waste some of the paint in the hose when you finish. I tried to run the gun till no more came out, but I knew there was more in there which I didn't want to waste if I could help it. You then prime with water and switch to PAINT. The remaining paint will come out into the paint bucket, but you have to watch closely for it to change to water so you don't get water into your paint.

Where do you get the filter?

Nice vid. I got the same hose you got, but 3 of them in a row leak like crazy at the swivel point.

Good video man!

I bought one of these and nothing happens when the dial is turned to prime. Went back to harbor frieght and the second one was the same. Turned the knob till the machine turned on and no suction for priming.

This Paint sprayer it's for diyer only not commercial or professional by any means it's a throw away pump

Go to SW an get the rite tip,and a professional gun the titan one and a 50 ft hose an you're in business bud! U'll see the difference rite away. This is what I did.

thanks so good video

Are you a history teacher? Cause your voice sounds like one. Your video is useless.

Great video - I wish mine worked as well! No problem priming, got it cleaned and ready to rock, then the pump would not produce enough pressure to atomize the exterior latex paint I was using on the job. I guess that's the problem with HF - poor quality control. I wasted 5-6 hrs. over two days.

Can I paint my car with this

Can’t believe you sprayed the yawn oh well but it looks like the gun works.

FIRST THING - set the playback speed of this video to 1.5 (settings gear icon) otherwise you'll be here for several days listening to this guy drone on. Or, at least it will seem like several days. Other than that, thanks for taking the time to show us how to set up and operate the sprayer.

Five stars out of how many???

Willnit work with oil base paint?

anyone know what is the replacement spray gun filter? seems like the graco 288749 but i'm seeing one with a spring included with a white color tip and another w/o a spring with a different blue color tip on the end. plus the replacement filters are 50 mesh but the gun came with a 60 mesh. does it even matter? i read the filter is mostly used for latex paints. do i even need a filter for water base even tho i strain the paint in the can before it enters the pump?

I bet a wheel barrel would work for the kart as well

Did you thin the paint?

Dude, what happen to the clean up!...that was such a GREAT video..

What piants can you used with this machine?

You should be a hypnotist.

I found the 515 tip that came with the unit paints beautifully. However, you didn't waste money on the Titan tip, all tips wear out. Thanks for the nice calm review. It was informative and relaxing like MrChickadee or Virtuovice.

I Tried spraying drylok extreme with one of these with graco's rac5 tip. Recommended size tip was 530. It didn't go very well.

Is there any truth in that the paint has to be thinned with water B4 using?

This video is great

Great video. I think you should make more videos. Your voice is very nice and has a relaxing tone. Good quality ASMR.

I thought this was a review? This is actually a instructional video.

Great video Love his voice this is the first time I watched a TH-cam video from the beginning to the end.

will it spray roof sealer

Narrator voice

Nice video and very informative, thanks.

Finally used mine a couple weeks ago on our guest house. it makes painting fun, which I thought was impossible. Worked perfectly. Great price and product
