I’ve had this paint sprayer for about 4 years and never used it. I am the amateur that has a project going constantly to satisfy my creative urges. After your video I finally unboxed it to spray the finish on a coffee table. I followed your suggestions for practice and thinning . What a game changer! The process was so fast and so much more professional. The cleanup was certainly not worse than buckets and brushes. Thank you.
As someone who has seen tons of DIY videos, this was one of the best structures I've ever seen. I have this paint sprayer and have never used one, this video was extremely helpful, kudos!
Thank you so much for sharing this great video! We really appreciate your insight and feedback on how we can improve. We're so glad you loved the finish. The dresser is looking great 🙌
I'm 68 and have painted so much over the years. Walls, furniture, fences, etc. Oh my gosh!! If I had only known about paint sprayers before!!!
Good info!!❤
I have this paint sprayer and did my entire kitchen cabinets with it a couple years ago. I saved a boat load of money doing it myself and the results are professional. I’m here b/c I am recommending this sprayer to my brother and he is using a thicker paint, and we were curious if it could do it without being thinned. You answered all of the questions we were wondering without worrying about testing it through my own sprayer - so thank you for taking one for the team - lol!
I just bought this sprayer. Can't wait to try it. Your video was very helpful! Thanks
We bought this sprayer a few months ago in order to paint some primed interior doors. I am ready to take it out of the box now and practice with water (thank you for that suggestion) so that I'm comfortable with it before actually painting. This was a really helpful video. Thanks.
I really like how detailed and informative and concise this video is. I have just purchased this sprayer and I can't wait to use it. Thank you
Thank you so much for the love! Best of luck with your sprayer!!
This is SUCH a great review!! Not only of the paint sprayer specifically. But how to use one in general. I love the water idea. ❤️
Thank you so much!! That’s what I was hoping for!
I agree!!! Spraying with water first boosted my confidence soooooo much!!! Thank you for that!!
OMG!! thank you so much!! I have steered clear from sprayer because I just felt so intimidated. But the way you broke it down I think I can do this. I look forward to seeing other sprayers to make my final decision. I appreciate your time on this informative video. ty ty
Oh I’m so glad it was helpful! That’s exactly what I was trying to share. I can’t wait to share more about the other sprayers soon!
Hello, I just bought this sprayer a couple of days ago and actually tried it out today, since I’m a beginner and even after reading the owners manual I still did it all wrong. I got so frustrated I was actually going to returning it. But after watching your video I’ve decided to keep it and give it another try. Now I’m praying I don’t ruin my old dresser that I specifically bought this sprayer for 😂. Thank you so much for this awesome/ perfect video 😊
I have this paint sprayer and love it. Very good detailed video.
Just got one and this was so helpful. Thank you!!!
hey this is great. thank you for sharing this! i feel better about use my sprayer now
EXCELLENT review!!!! EVERYONE should look to this video as an example of reviewing ANYthing!!!!!
Thanks so much!
Aww, thank you so much!!
I got one for Christmas... can't wait to try my hand at using such a device. Right now I am leary about the cleaning logistics, but it appears that the time saved actually painting makes the cleaning time worth it.
SOOOOO informative! Thanks. Can't wait for the sprayer comparison video. Will probably be a lot of work, but great info. Looking forward to it. Love experimenting with water first!!
Thank you! I can’t wait to put it all together and share what I learned!
Thank you, I'm like #900! I'm a retired electrician / carpenter, and I hate painting. I'm renovating my home myself and I'm at the point where 14 doors and all the trim are ready for paint. I want a better than brushed finish so I thought I'd try a budget friendly sprayer and chose this one based on reviews. I have almost zero experience but after watching your review / tutorial, I'm ready to practice a bit, start masking then nervously dive in. Great review, especially the thinning and the camera angles showing the gloss and texture, thank you!
I have this paint sprayer. I am so new to spraying though. But, what I have done so far with it, I can say that it is worth learning to spray verses brush for all the time saved and such a smooth look. I learned a lot from this. Thank you!
Thank you! I’m so glad it was helpful to you! I completely agree that sprayers are worth learning how to use. ❤️
PIcked this one up after a bit of investigation between it and the Flexio types. Played tonight with some water and plan on using it to spray rustoleum, (watered down most likley) on some used metal shelving for the garage to get the hang of things. Then on to more visible projects. Thanks for the details in your vid.
We've got one of these sprayers, new, in the box, hiding in a kitchen cabinet. I'm gonna try it out on some interior doors. Thanks for the info!
I attach the rapid clean to my normal garden hose vs what you did right at the tap.
I also use Gardena quick connects so there's no screwing on the Rapid Clean connect end. So much easier
I just got this sprayer and plan on spraying white tinted stain on natural pine bed frames as my first project. It is true that it cleanup is a bit of a PITA but overall its easy to use. I am looking forward to getting the settings right and the stain thinned out to the correct consistency so I can get results like you did. Thanks for this video.
Well done and love the variables you applied to the operation. I have the homeright and have had issues with spatter. In the end, I think my use of the green nozzle, larger than the blue nozzle, with too high a paint flow may have been the cause. I have recently purchased a Worx battery powered sprayer and have had the same problems. I will apply your techniques to that sprayer. The Worx sprayer appears to be built by Wagner since they share many construction details.
Brilliant presentation. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video thank you. What color did you paint that dresser with? Love it.
I love that style dresser,,,so classic
I have this sprayer and would use it more if I had a dedicated spray area. I enjoy brushing on paint so that is okay. But I love spraying on the top coat! Now that it is winter, I won’t be able to spray again until spring.
A well done and interesting video. Thank you for producing it. Not sure I would have used paper to do my tests. Water-product and paper don't play well together. I think cardboard might be better, 1/4" MDF even more so. Still, lots of information here and very helpful. You managed to capture the wet and dry sheens, which is not easy to do but very important to see. Nice work!
I have the next price down 😊 Home Right sprayer. It works very well, for a newbie, building her arsenal of tools!
This was a great video, Thank you. Looking forward to the comparison video. 😃- Jill
I have this paint sprayer and the biggest problem with it is the cleaning process. I just ordered another paint bottle for it which I use to keep water in. When I’m finished painting, I just installed the extra paint bottle with water and spray it until the spray is clear. I can’t even store the paint I just used in one of the bottles. This process works for me!
I'm going to use mine to repaint
my bathroom tiles using Rustoleum topside paint. Hope it does well!
Thanks for the in-depth review! I'm thinking of getting this to paint an electric guitar body. 😸
Thank you!! Let us know how it goes!
This is so informative, I have been thinking of getting this sprayer, maybe today cause I have already sand my kitchen cabinet and I have sort of decided on SW paint. I would love to paint with chalk paint cause I love chalk paint its easier to paint. But I see you use Bear and you add some powder I know what it is but its not coming to my head. So why did you do that? Just to thin it out. Would you recommend enamel with the sprayer?
( gun tip, paint viscosity and flow ration) thanks for the refresher on the homeright...I was sreaching for what tip size I might use for my next project...and picked up from yout clip that you used 4mm tip for the emerald.
The chalk paint I have done before with my hometight and came up with a water mix ratio that made the viscosity look like the emerald or a little thicker... I forgot what tip but I did have to choose one.. I also ordered more tips of different sizes that dont come in the box with the homeright.. they are differnt millameter sizes... so they have or had different tips out there so you can tweak your paing mix, tip and flow ratio.. which from what I pick up from most videos is what its all about... plus a strainer... that is very important to mention...
I am currently spraying or trying to spray dynasty paint.. I may have to thin with water...
these sprayer guns are amazing... and cost efficient and save time as well.
Very very helpful!! I bought my first sprayer, had so many issues that I gave up and threw it away. So frustrated! The info you shared helps a lot! Thank you
Oh no! I’m sorry it gave you so many problems! Hopefully next time you pick up a sprayer you will be able to get the results you want!
PRACTICE AND EXPERIMENT WITH PAINT THINNING U CAN DO IT.
I just bought it I’ll let you know.I’m also a Beginner
You used water base lacquer over top of paint- do you have more info on this? does the lacquer flake off later in life? in your opinion does water base lacquer make for a tough finish? would you use that on kitchen cabinets or what would you use? btw thanks for your vid. lots/ton of info!!
Hi! Thanks for this. Is the viscosity cup something you bought separately?
Just bought one, but haven't used it. I do a fair amount of woodworking, but never used a sprayer. Your video was very informative and helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! i have the same model and it did a great job staining my fence. I am planning on painting my garage. Do you think this sprayer is capable of finishing garage walls and ceilings?
I just purchased this sprayer i have not used it yet trying to learn more about it first.
What is best for diluting oil base paint?
Also have you tried any oik base stain or paint in this sprayer?
Thanks wil
I recently bought this sprayer but haven't used it yet. I bought a beautiful solid wood bed head and footboard on marketplace for real cheap and I'm planning to use modern masters warm silver on it after I prep and add some appliques. I'm wanting to give a try spraying this paint after thinning and have heard success stories with it even though Modern Masters doesn't recommend it. So I'm sure this will be an interesting endeavor. Im prepared to mini roll and brush the paint if spraying doesn't work out but this should fun anyway. I'm just starting out with furniture upcycling and as always I go for the hardest thing first. Lol I learned to make bread from scratch by milling my own grains and yea that was the hardest thing to but I mastered it. So I'm going to work harder in the beginning then the easy painting will be just that, Easy. 😂
I have a home right sprayer and i always get spitting. I use fusion mineral paint and Dixie Belle paints. I work with the adjustment and still I am having issues. Any recommendations?
Chuckles at the rather short cord. Pretty funny considering like you eluded to, we are going to need a little bit more cord
I have this same sprayer but I've never been able to get it dialed in like you have here. I think thinning the material is key. I just sprayed a paint/primer combo on bare wood furniture I built and it went on OK but was definitely not at smooth and had some spitting. So now I have to sand w/ 220 and add a second coat which I was planning on doing anyway. I'll try thinning the second coat after seeing this video. Hopefully I can get it tuned.
Good luck! Thinning it really helps I think.
Hi, I have this same sprayer, so thanks for all the testing. i will use mine spray Emerald Urethane Trim paint. Wish me luck.
Good luck!
Thanks so much! So helpful! I deleted that cleaning tool from my Amazon cart! haha!
Nice review. A couple of things you might be able to help me with. I haven’t quite mastered the sprayer just yet after two projects:
1. Sprayed white poly which was quite thin already but I added 10% water - I was spraying cabinets and used the blue tip (1.5mm) and got air bubbles in the finish no matter how much I adjusted the flow. The less flow the less air bubbles. I suspect the bubbles were in the paint and were getting through into the spray
2. Sprayed white primer on a wall which I watered down 15% and used the green tip (2mm) and got splatter and left a bit of texture in the finish (regardless of flow adjustments). I switched to the red tip (4mm) with the yellow head given the primer was a bit thicker and the finish was much smoother but blew through the paint much faster with the wider spray pattern.
I am preparing to spray a board and batten feature wall in my house and really want to get that fine finish you got on your drawer. I believe my main issue is matching the viscosity of paint to the spray tip and head. Any thoughts/suggestions on this? Note I do not have a viscosity cup but sounds like I could use one ?
My understanding is the cup is a must have from what I've read, elminating issues for others. I picked one up but haven't used it yet (or the sprayer besides water). I assume you had the black cover on for finer spray?
Hahaha, omg I thought the same, I was so afraid the tip is going to drop in there. I drop my ring so I learned a big lesion, never wash anymore without closing it up.
Have you tried the Worx paint sprayer
di I have to thin Behr Acrylic stain and sealer before applying, and what would I use to thin the sealer stain?
I am wanting to try using a paint/stain sprayer, but do not know which one to go with. Would like to be budget conscious with it as well. (Still want to be able to afford paint after buying it) LOL.
Thank you for the informative video.
With the SW Emerald paint, about how much water do you suggest adding? 5%? 10%? And which sprayer tip would work best with that paint?
I’m not 100% sure, but I would test at least 10% and the biggest tip.
Is your sprayer very loud? I feel like mine makes a lot of noise when I’m using it.
Best video about this paint sprayer!!! i just bought it and used it on my cabinets and the finish came out like braille. i had to sand and restart... Any recommendations on thinning acrylic paint?
Oh no! Sounds like your paint needs thinned out more. What exact paint are you using?
Was hoping you talked more about adjusting
Great video
Forgive me for skipping straight to the punch, unfortunately my husband started ripping apart our cabinets out of nowhere... here I find myself without much time to research sprayers. As someone who has never done cabinets, used a paint sprayer, or chaulk paint.. I find myself in a situation with all 3 of those factors in this scenario. I've decided to use Heirloom Traditions All in one paint for this entire project. What would be your top 2 picks of sprayers to choose for purchase? I'm looking to keep the price under $200, we also have a compressor (not sure if that would provide additional potentional sprayer options or not, just throwing that info out there.) I have a large kitchen and am looking at tackling around 40 cabinets along with 10 interior doors. I would LOVE you're recommendation as I find myself overwhelped with options, no experience, and short on time. Thanks in advance for any rescue tips!!!
Hello, which tip did you use in the video for painting the cabinets? And what tip do you recommend for kitchen cabinets? I am thinking of using the 1.5mm blue one for my kitchen cabinets DIY project. Thanks!
I personally prefer to thin my paint out a little more and use a smaller tip. But you can play around with the different sizes and see what works best for you and the paint you use.
Had this sprayer for a couple months, but just recently used it for the first time and I wish I had seen this review before I bought the stupid cleaning kit. I agree it made things harder, not easier. My shop sink did not have the nozzle type it could connect to (I have a spray nozzle only, not threaded) so I could only use it on the outside faucet which was amazingly inconvenient. I found it much simpler to just buy an extra paint cup/lid to use for cleaning so I don't have to dump my paint between coats when I want to clean it between coats. I also found cleaning the section where the cup screws in to be annoying, but I've mitigated that by always wiping the lip of the cup before attaching it. I did struggle with testing the spray on cardboard/paper, what seemed great on that kept looking too thick on paint, but after seeing you use the lower tip and water down the polycrylic, I may try that next time. tl;dr: even for someone who has used this sprayer, you had some awesome thoughts and tips I will definitely try out the next time!
Probably too late for you but cleaning the area everyone is complaining about is easy especially if outside, I use my garden nozzles set to side spray (sprays like this sprayer in a line) and blast it off. A few seconds later it’s clean 🤔, if in the sink I simply tilt sprayer on its size and run water over it followed by either a blast with compressed air (if you have) or a wipe with a rag, comes clean every time?
Is it loud? I have an older wagner paint sprayer that is super loud.
Would you consider having a video on choosing the right paint filter for different kinds of paint? Thank you.
I’m not sure what you mean, I use the same type of filter for all of my paints.
When testing, why did you spray so close?
Is this the best HLVP sprayer for under $150?
Hi Natalie, Do you thin down the Bin Primer to use in your paint sprayer?
BIN primer should not be used with these HVLP paint sprayers as it has a low flash point that can combust with the motor right there. Also, it is very thin on its own and would not need thinned to spray it. Hope that helps!
How much water did you add to the emerald urethane trim paint to get the best results? Do you think thinning it to get a flow rate of 40 seconds using the viscosity cup would work well with the emerald? Have you tried thinning with floetrol instead of water? I have a homeright sprayer and plan to buy the same paint for some cabinets.
I have the same question. Curious what you ended up doing. Did you use floetrol or water and what percentage did you dilute.
@@dixiwimmer9839 as I recall, I used Floetrol. Just a little, to get a flow rate of around 40 sec. Turned out well on kitchen cabinets.
Whats the target viscosity?
As you knew you required 15% water could you have mixed the Calcium Carbonate with the required 15% water instead of a little bit of water to ensure a better mix in to the paint straight from the start ??......... Also how much Calcium Carbonate to 1ltr of paint would you recommend ??.......
Mine came with a brush to make cleaning that cup area better.
Why is my homeright pro 5.0 paint sprayer leaking .
I give this sprayer a B-
Unfortunately it leaves a TON of overspray. What happens is the pain in the tip starts to dry after just a few minutes and causes lots of overspray.. I had to touch up my ceiling in so many places Even though I had 12" paper around the edges.
Did you try to spray zinsser primer shallec? Did it work?
I did. In my Fuji sprayer. It worked well, but I hated the smell of the amonia to clean it. 😳 that stuff is STRONG!
Shellac primer is too flammable to safely spray in these sprayers that have the motor right there.
What % of water do you add to your sprayer when spraying paint and polyurethane? Ty
Probably 15% water to thin paint and I don’t measure as much, but I like to fill up my 8 ounce mini container with about 3/4 polyurethane and then put water in the last 1/4 of the container.
Thanks for the demo with this sprayer, you make it look so easy. I just ordered one. The only question I have is , when you show the dresser top it looks like the orange peel effect in the paint, is it just the lighting and I am seeing it wrong or is it actually a fine finish?
How can I purchase this product while I live outside the United States of America??
What do you do with the dirty water from the bucket?
Latex down the sink oil based into another container awaiting next town hazardous waste day…why I avoid oil paint at all cost
What sprayer did you use?
All of the things mentioned in this video are linked in the description of the video. ❤️
Wow, internet go out while watching?
@@ARayofSunlight thank you
A decent review! As for the video overall, whatever you have as a background sound is very distracting for me.
Too bad this Super model doesn't have the viscosity funnel!
Hi.. miss can this sprayer use tinner base Paint mean not waterbase??
You can put oil based products in it. It’s not recommended to put shellac in it though - because it’s flash point is so low.
Made in the usa
This young lady has obviously never dropped something into the sink that then disappears down the plug hole. PUT THE COVER IN.
Dont buy one of those. Mine burned up right away...
