- Looking for a budget-friendly sprayer to use while painting your house?
Well, look no further, my friends! This £60 sprayer is as good as any expensive one out there...well, at least we think so. We didn't actually compare it to any expensive ones, but let's just assume it is, okay?
Now, let me tell you, this sprayer is a real steal. It's like finding a diamond in a pile of rocks, except it's a sprayer in a pile of painting equipment. You get the picture.
Setting up this bad boy is a piece of cake. It's so easy, even your pet goldfish could do it.
Okay, maybe not your goldfish, but you get what I mean. Just follow the instructions, and voila!
You're ready to start spraying.
Spraying with it is a breeze too. It's like magic, but better because it's real. You just point and spray, and watch as your walls transform into a masterpiece. It's like a symphony of paint spraying, and you're the conductor.
And let's talk about the results. They speak for themselves. Your walls will look so good, your neighbors will be knocking on your door, asking if you're a professional painter. You'll have to tell them that it's just you and your trusty £60 sprayer.
So, is this the best paint sprayer for house painting? Maybe not the very best, but it's definitely up there. And for the price, you really can't go wrong. So go ahead, buy it, and start painting your way to a more beautiful home. Trust us, you won't regret it

Thank you so very much for taking the time to share this with us it is very appreciated and appreciated from all of us who want to learn more please keep it coming
Please have a a wonderful Christmas with your family and stay healthy and safe
Glad you're still around :) thanks for the comments.
Thanks for doing this vlog Phil, I am buying this model tomorrow, you made it easy to understand even for a plonker like me! Keep the videos coming!!
Great. Tnx
It's a good one to start off with.
You have been yourself..and no showing of..Like you😊As for your demo..detailed..helpful..and time ..enjoyable..Well done🤗
Bought one of these a while ago. Used it on some intricate coving and it was excellent. I'd never sprayed really since I was an apprentice 40 years ago. Really easy to use. I've since used it to spray my fences at home, lol. 👍
Great video Phil, that hose to the chops tickled me haha played it over and over 🤣🤣🤣
I'm.sicknof seeing it.. my kids were creased up, over and over and over again I've had to see it lol
I bought this paint sprayer a few months back, tomorrow is my first try so I thought I'd look for a demonstration on TH-cam. This video was exactly what I was hoping for. Top man.
how was it?
@@snaubdca7yebf it was great, I've used it to spray decking and skirting boards. Next will be some internal doors.
@@Slunchy25 awesome thanks for getting back to me. Some of the reviews on screwfix are so bad but one never knows if it's user error or the actual machine!
@@snaubdca7yebf99% of the time it’s user error lol. If a pro such as Phil rates it, it’s for a reason
Cracking video. Only just stumbled across your channel love it. Very friendly and extremely informative 👍🏻🔥
Welcome aboard! You've loads to catch up on.
Good to see that Ricky Gervais is thinking ahead and getting a trade. He must have been secretly doing it for years as he's an expert and knows what he's doing and gives plenty of tips for us who have never used a spray gun. Didn't realise it was Gervais to begin with until I saw the cheek lift smile and the eyebrow lift he does when he finishes a scene. Hope he decides to do more of these as it's made me decide what paint sprayer to buy. Thank you Phil (wink, wink......Ricky!)
Thanks for this Phil. I've not yet taken the spray plunge, but have 2-dozen doors to paint and several rooms in white: Ideal candidate for spraying... Its now £75 Inc VAT now, but still definitely worth a go!! Even if I only use it for the woodwork, it'll pay for itself in less than a day! 👍🏻
You'll use it more than you think!! ;)
Thanks Phil, great video, just added 1 to my screwfix wishlist, maybe santa 🎅 will deliver it 😀
Thanks for the informative video, think i'll get one of these and give it a go,.. keep up the good work 👍
It's a good starting sprayer
Hey Phil, this is my first time commenting on your vids, once again it’s very informative and I think a lot of younger guys will learn from you. I’ ve been in the trade 39 yrs and I see a lot of similarities between us. Keep up the good work, we’re always learning new things, and your vids certainly help.
I bought one of these in April to paint bedroom furniture.! And t actually left a cracking job. On my 2nd time of using it I had real problems. The little suction pipe would continuously fall off, and I even got a ton of paint backing up into the air hose, I’ve no idea why that happened, but what a mess it made. I took it back to Screwfix and swapped it for the Energer model. With that I sprayed some sliding wardrobe doors and it also left a reasonably good finish. Had no problems with it since so happy days. Tomorrow I’ve some stair spindles to do, so gonna give it another outing. Great work Phi, hope Santa brings you that Porsche 😊
Lovely words, thank you.
Do you think the small black pipe (that pressurised the pot) next to the white suction pipe, has come loose or had lost the small little spring in it?
There's one on the energer sprayer too
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator to be honest, after the mess it created, I cleaned it up as best as possible and returned it as quickly as possible. Saw your review and video on the Energer so I decided to give it a whirl instead of a straight replacement for the Erbauer again. Staircase spindles sprayed very well today with Coverstain, it’s far from being a pro model hvlp, but it’s doing a job for now.
Just got one of these for some DIY stuff, great video thanks
Glad I could help, on offer too now :)
Great video. Loved the reference to Bauer roller skates. We must be around to same age!
Totally! lol..... still use mine and pop over to Roller World Derby with the kids in school holidays :) had mine since the late 80's lol
Just got one of these and will be doing new doors with acrylic primer hopefully it will save me some time 😊
Hope you enjoy it!
Absolutely first class tutorial Phil..........been wanting to try a sprayer for ages but I've no excuse now!! I do loads of furniture and love akva and helmi combo. Never used helmi u/c, just a tinted akva and on with the Helmi 30. Anyhow, thanks for the laugh and the tutorial.
Yorkshire Dave👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it lol
Use Otex Akva is your going over a glossy or previously oil based surface.... anything else just use Helmi Uc
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator absolutely......but I seem to spend my time going over old oil based paints. Can't remember the last time I used an oil based paint......oooh, tomorrow......the coverstain might just be making an appearance! 👍
@@daveh1081 what's the coverstain for?
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator I'm covering up a persistent water mark on an interior wall. I did think about the 123+ or whatever it's called......you've used it.....what do you think as an alternative to coverstain? Unfortunately Phil, this is a turd polishing exercise!! 😭
I have the erbauer airless sprayer and honestly cant fault it 👌
Great video Phil, been using a month now and love it. Only for skirts, doors & spindles decent bit of kit for the price. Was using my graco but this saves a lot of paint compared to it.
cleans out so easy
I've got the older version and it's been amazing for the price. Had it maybe 10 years!
For the money its awesome. Ideal for anyone to try out a sprayer that gives great results!
thanks Phil perfect video 👌
Glad you enjoyed it
Another good review of the screwfix range, love it!
The £40 sprayer was bang on for me just getting into spraying, used it on a job for all the doors and came out alright. Trying it again on another job for some windows we’ll see how that goes..
All taped up with Q1s range of bits.
You understand your going to have no choice but to keep this up with all the screwfix products 😂
Have you seen there airless sprayer at £220…
I don't feel ready for a cheap airless after the £129 Lidl one lol
I bought one of these six months ago for £65 (yes they have just gone up to £85) for spraying primers etc and as a back up to my gracos. It has been used for all sorts. I have even put a wagner XVLP head on it and it worked wonderfully for me. Genuinely great bit of kit. Interested to see what you get out of it too. 👍🏼
Thanks for the tips👍🤓
No problem 👍
my kind of video, no fecks given glad you didnt knock yourself out. thanks for the review
Glad you enjoyed
Love the videos Phil. Gets me through the night when I can't sleep. I don't mean that as a joke. The reviews you do of the paints, is awesome. Your delivery is brilliant so funny, but informative. You're like a mature version of Stephen Mulhern.
So the question is this. Bearing in mind the erbauer sprayer is £80, would you still buy it over the energer sprayer. I'm just a DIYer but do a lot of painting for the family. Please keep the great videos coming.
Cheers.
The more power a sprayer has the better ..
The £40 one is only 100w lower in power than the. Other one.. which was £65 when I bought it.
Both good... Size may be a the only thing that may make you go for the smaller one over the bit bigger on.
The bigger one does say you can spray emulsion with it though.. so that's a consideration for an all round budget sprayer.
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator thanks for in-depth answer. Happy new year to you 👍
Great video 👍
I bought one of these a few months ago as I wanted to get into spraying but didn't want to spend a fortune in case it wasnt for me so far iv sprayed my kitchen walls and ceiling with it and my hall stairs and landing walls and I'm very impressed by it will definitely be using it more the only fault iv got with it is all the bristles have fell off the cleaning brush after only cleaning it 3 times so iv got to buy a new one but other than that its a brilliant machine for the price
The cleaning brushes... Pop to the £1 shop.
Glad it worked out well for you though
Nice one Phil 👍🏾
tnx Steve
Great job!
Thank you! Cheers!
nice Phil Lad , good to see you at the PnD show jf
Likewise.
:)
Wish I could order this in the states. Seems like a very good sprayer.
thanks mate i was gonna buy a wagner second hand for £250 but even though its £87 now im gonna get one, i dont know if you are an affilliate but i am gonna use your link, great demo
For the money it's worth a go. No, I've no affiliation with the link
I've been looking for a small cheap sprayer to run oil based through for ages and couldn't seem to find one. Just seen this and bought one straight away! Cheers
Was £85 tho! 😂
Yeah... They put the price up.. then it comes down again. Still good at £85
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator alreet bud, watched this and before video ended I went ova to Screwfix in Derby and got me sen the last one they had! I tell thee what, best £78 I ever spent pal! I removed and Painted 11 x new cottage style interior doors today and hung them again!
Top bombing 👍
Great video thanks for taking the time to make it and explain so much detail. Can you use this for varnishes? What about outdoor wall paint? Thanks!
Hi. Tnx. Ideally you want a small air cap hole for varnish as it's so thin. If you're thinking waterbase . Try it, just turn down the paint flow and see how it goes.
Outside wall spraying, you'd normally go with an airless machine.
You'll spray emulsion with this, but it may be a bit slow for large areas... That may suit you as you have a bit more control.
Use the larger air cap for emulsion.
You still may need to thin the paint.. trial and error on that.
Test on some card board first.
Brilliant video and tutorial Phil. Love your channel and your detailed but light hearted presenting style. You've got me very tempted by this machine. Do you think there would be any benefit to adding a conditioner to the paint (Flowtrol or similar) when spraying with this or is there no need? My go to paint is Leyland acrylic undercoat and gloss (Zinsser B123 for any ropey surfaces). Only other WB paint I've tried is No Nonsense primer/undercoat which I didn't get on with and Dulux Weathershield exterior satin, which I found nice to apply but had a bit of a blueish tinge to it and looked a bit translucent/laquerish (if that's a really word?). Not sure if that was normal or I had a dodgy tin. Up for trying something different though if you have any recommendations. Thanks again for a great informative video.
Oooh. Watch a few more of my vids on different paints... It sounds like your ready to move to the next level and try something else
Conditioner.... Yes. Worth trying... Watch my video on conditioners from a few videos back.
Nice one 👍
Another great video, thank you. Was thinking of purchasing a budget hvlp to spray some cabinet doors , was wondering if anyone had used the Wagner flexio 690 and how it compared to the erbauer, cheers
Hi Phil
as an amateur HVLP (not used one yet) sprayer I’m really interested in the final finish , wet and dry of many of your demos that you have put on. Back in the day when I sprayed cars there was never enough light and
found that if you shine a light from below (a lead lamp) close to whatever your spraying it illuminates the work
piece well. A few shots of your work under those conditions would really let others know what they are trying to achieve, or not achieve 😂 as just a close up in most cases doesn’t really show up the finish in standard light.
Just an idea to guide interested parties. 👍
i'll see what I can do next time. :)
is worth mentioning if youre new to spraying that even if you start out with a fairly cheap HVLP you need one where the motor is always spinning and the trigger just releases the paint into the airflow. wagner do some that the trigger actually starts the motor up at the same time as releasing the paint so you get splatter every time and you wont know why.
that doesn't sound good :(
Top detailed video Phil, would you recommend this sprayer to do bare pine ( dado rail ) and more importantly large MDF media/wardrobes? Room will be empty. Cheers
Yes. Once you get into it you'll get the bug and want an even better one.
Just found this channel and it's ace. I'm in the middle or renovating our house and this channel has help loads with the decorating. I've bought this Erbauer HLVP and their £200 airless machine. I've used the airless for mist coating new plaster and it was pretty good. Which unit would you recommend for woodwork (skirting and doors). I had planned to use the HLVP for the staircase and for spraying BIN as a primer on MDF panelling but the airless for all woodwork that was being finished in water based satin (Scuff-X)
the HVLP in this video is very good, have you watched any other of the hvlp vids i've done?
You'll have greater control for the woodwork.
Unless you have smaller fine finish tips for the airless. have you watched this video... th-cam.com/video/2SfuzttUtsg/w-d-xo.html
and this one... th-cam.com/video/t8gFl1pW7-A/w-d-xo.html
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator Thanks. I've bought a couple of Graco RAC fine finish tips 310 and 210 for the airless. I guess give them both a go and work out which works best.
Great video Phil think I’ll get one of these for my spindles and stairs. Would this spray ok with the Johnstones Aqua undercoat and Aqua Guard Satin? Dilute by 5%? I’ve got 20% voucher at Brewers. Unfortunately they don’t do Tikkurila. 👍🏼
I think if you think it right it will be ok.
Tikkurila sprays great.. get some.
Also AllCoat would be good.... BEDEC as well.
Love your videos ❤
Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge and crap jokes😂😂😂
I’m buying one of these sprayers and amongst other projects, I’m doing my metal garage door. Dark grey I’ve been told by her indoors. I’ve seen your other video comparing Frenchic paint with other manufacturers paints. Frnchic is the one I’m leaning toward, have you any other suggestions ?
Thanku in advance 😊
Hi. Tnx and tnx lol
Any of those.
Good prep and clean down
Is key.
On a pre painted garage door?
All Coat Exterior goes on well.
The Bedec MSP in soft satin or soft gloss very good.
Frenchic Alfresco also a good option.
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator thanku so much. Yes 15 years old prepainted. Very much appreciated. Keep up your amazing content
Lovely video phil, just a note that vaseline attacks plastic, you may want to use silicon spray instead. thanks
Cheers. Good point. For the amounts used on it and how often... I shouldn't worry.
You don't want to put it around moving plastic parts either.
I do have some silicone lube spray which is handy to have around as well.
Thanks for commenting :)
Hello,
Great video also watched the £40 energer one both very informative. I havent sprayed before and these videos have been helpful. I'm wanting to spray an old tool box. would this spray an enamel paint once thinned down?
Or should I try the energer?
I do also have a couple of doors to repaint and some fence pannels.
Cheers
It should do, it's a good all rounder.
why not spray the box in Zinsser AllCoat Exterior, or Beded MSP?
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator would these paints cope in a working garage environment? With the possibility of getting oils brake fluid and anti freeze on them.
H
Happy Christmas phil
Thanks Mike. To you too.
I've watched a few of your TH-cam videos closely and I must say, they have been incredibly helpful and enjoyable to watch, so thank you!
Recently, I hired a professional UPVC sprayer to work on an MDF wall unit but the final touch-ups went wrong (different colours in patches) and he has abandoned the job, so I’m considering respraying the top of the unit myself. I was looking at the airless Erbauer 600W, but now I’m edging towards this sprayer if it’s better for woodwork. In your expert option do you think this sprayer would be a better fit than the airless? The unit has already had two coats of paint and I don’t know what paint he used but the colour match was Wimborne White in a satin finish. Do you know what paint would spray well that I could colour match and deliver a satin finish? Thank you and keep up the fantastic work!
This one would be good... More power.
Airless.... If you have lots of paint to use on a large area.
For finer finish work, you may need a bit more practice with it, getting the tip, filters, paint and pressure right.
Paint... Why not buy farrow and ball modern eggshell... It sprays lovely.. thin as required to get best spray results.
It's about £50ish for 2.5ltrs
In the bigger scheme of things not a fortune to get the right colour.
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator Thank you very much for your quick response and your advice. Really appreciate it!
I think the wall unit may have been painted with cellulose (he mentioned automotive paint) or similar oil-based paint. Would the Farrow and Ball stick to it ok with it being water based? Or do you think I’m better off using an oil based paint? I watched your video showing Frenchic, AllCoat, Bedec and Tikkurila/Otex Akva and saw the suggestion of Everal Aqua 40 in the comments too. Do you reckon Otex Akva on oil based surface? I would need to colour match to F&B Wimborne White satin but a bit lost as to what to use.
Thanks again Phil!
Hi Phil, another informative video, great stuff. Quick question I’ve got a airless and hvlp. What in your opinion is the best water based paint to use on doors and skirting boards. I normally use oil based.
Oh.... Move away from oil based.
You'll love spraying with....
Tikkurila... Helmi or Everal Aqua.
Farrow & Ball modern and estate eggshell sprays well.
Zinnser AllCoat
Start with those.
Bedec and Frenchic spray fine too
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator thanks Phil,I do like the bedec. And French chic, I will try the others, and see how it goes 👍
Great Video thanks Phil, had the wagner xvlp 5000 but never took to the gun ( two stage trigger) so just bought a fuji semi pro 2 and really liking it, I had always dabbled spraying the odd car panel and the fuji just feels more natural does Johnsons Aqua water based gloss spray well ? I am just a diyer who hates decorating 🤣
I've struggled with Jono aqua system gloss.. with my Stage 5 HVLP..need thinning so much, I had to go back to Tikkurila Helmi 80 gloss, as that sprays well.
AllCoat exterior gloss (WB) strays well with hvlp.... the satin is lovely
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator Thanks Phil, Appreciate you getting back to me Zinsser it is then 👍, a great video for people like myself would be you showing spraying a door and archs / skirting insitu to show what masking etc is involved in a real world scenario, I figure Doris must be 65mm thick by now having binge watched your videos since finding and subscribing
watch the video I did last year.. 5 tips to help you spray.
Only here will we find a pro decorator talking about applying lubricating gel to knobs, hilarious thank you for making me chuckle 😂
Seriously, cracking vid, I've been procrastinating about getting in to spraying, for 60 quid and this helpful vid I've just decided on my Christmas present to myself
get one, you won't look back
Great video and very informative, Phil. New sub! Do you know if I could use this machine to spray Sandtex Microseal smooth masonry paint to an external wall? Many thanks
you may need to thin it a bit more, but worth trying. you won't hold much paint though.
I reckon Bauer made ice skates, but people attached the boots to roller skate trucks.
Could be wrong😊
Good video thanks for posting. Helpful.
Could be
cool loooking sprayer
It's good
Hello Phil, love the very informative videos thanks. I'm on a hall stairs and landing atm and was going to use my Graco ultra max handheld to spray the spindles and hand rail using water based eggshell. I was looking at HVLP spraying , would I find this machine better than my graco ? Especially with less Overspray?
Hi, I think you'll find it fine, you can control the fan pattern and air flow all off the gun and unit.
Whereas the handheld Graco you'll be swapping tip for different fan widths etc.
For £65.... (Or is it £80) I'd say give it a go. It also wasshes out really easy.
What eggshell where you going to spray?
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator Don't shout at me Phil. But I'm going to be using Johnsons Durable Acrylic Eggshell. It's been prepared using the Mirka pads and primed with zinsser BIN .
Just watched your 2 HPLV Screwfix spray videos - great info, thanks. I have our bungalow pebbledash to spray and I hate doing it with a brush. For a once a year or 2 do you think this ESP800 would be OK with Sandtex Ultra Smooth once thinned? Cheers for the videos, very helpful.
This one has more power than the £40 HVLP.
Thin the paint enough and use the larger air cap, you will get away with it ;)
Ideally... An airless would be best. But if you watch my airless videos.... They're not something you'll just turn on and spray with... Unless you follow my vids and understand the principles of how it all works lol
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator Cheers. Just watched the £129 airless sprayer!! I think airless would be better but for very odd occasions I think the screwfix hvlp 800 watt one will do. Thanks.
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator Thinned it down 2paint:1water and it went great in the ESP800. Made painting the pebbledash a breeze. Thanks for your videos and advice.
Hi Phil, another great video, thanks. I'm still practising with my Titan Focus 500 XVLP and Wagner FC 5000 XVLP. The biggest problem I seem to have is with the consistency of the paint and application of it. I'm either applying it too heavy or too thin, also think my speed could be a problem. I was interested to hear you say that some paints spray better than others, how do you find out, is it just trial and error or is there a list of which ones are better than others?
Hi Bryan. Which paint was it?
I use Tikkurila.. that's sprays welll...f&b does.
All coat exterior also.
It can come down to the thickness of paint... Are you thinning it enough?
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator I've had most problems with 123, but also with BM Aura. My best results have come with Caparol NAST Pu satin using the NAST head.
Good video Phill amazing how they can do it for the price , looks a bit like a copy of the Wagner 5000 ,
oooooh, I'm not really converse with the Wagner range I may have to ask my YT friend Craig Phillips (Mr DIY) about them..
Or Colin Bidwell :)
Hi Phil, i bought the Erbauer Airless sprayer from screwfix, i have not had the chance to use it yet, but heard good reviews, my question to you is should i buy the HVLP erbauer as well?? or should i use one for ceilings, walls etc. and the Airless for skirtings, architrave etc, or can one machine do everything, or do you recommend buying both. Thanks Phil, love the channel, P.S have you got WRX waterbased on your list to try out, i found it very good.
Cheers Kevin
or will one do walls, ceilings, etc and one will do woodwork
This sprayer is more Hvlp.... But could be used for walls as it has a 2.5 needle set as well as the 1.8 I used.
For the money... Get both.
This is so easy to clean out, I just rinsed it all out in the kitchen sink lol
Dave at WRX sorted me some samples at the P &D show... Eggshell and Satin.
Those videos are later this month and in January now
I've a load of vids lined up Infront of myself ;)
A number of papering vids coming up... SMITH - ROGER Blockade..
Budget brushes...
Total flat revamp coming up as well.
Loads.
Right Phil time to show us how to spray a wall and skirting it the same time with two different colours
I wouldn't finish walls with spray.
Spray ceilings... And woodwork... Then cut in and roll walls
Hi, Thanks for the video. I wonder if I would be able to use it for spraying metal like a van or Horse box? Thank you.
if the horse box is make of wood like a shed.. yes. did you see the BarnPaint video I did last year?
spraying a van.. maybe not so much, you'd want a smaller needle set.the ones with this kit is a bit big but idea for thicker paints.
a 'proper' HVLP spray gun set up would be idea
Would you recommend for doing coving throughout a house Phil ? Or would it be a bit of a pain moving it about ? I use a Staalmeester block brush on a pole for covings and do rattle through coving quickly but always open to other methods that might shave a bit of time off.
Just wondering if worth it with the set up & clean up time etc .
I do 2-3 full re-dec houses a week (working as a pair) so time is always valuable.
hi.. coving.. spraying... big time saver.
This will do it, easy to move about.. but you may find you want bigger and better airless... you'll bang out covings and ceiling... have a look at the GXff sprayer videos I've got.
once you know how to set any of these units up... cleaning shouldn't take you longer than 15-20mins a time.
Tempting purchase! Do you recon it would be any good on pebbledash with masonry paint. Obviously not great for use all the time but as a one off?
Hi. You'd be better with an airless sprayer, as it's more power... And also you won't need to thin the masonry paint down as much.
This hvlp, will spray the pebble dash, but you will need to thin the paint. Use the larger spray cap.
For the money... It's worth it for the time saving over using a brush.
Really want to get into spraying and have signed up for the Dulux academy spraying course but can’t really afford a mega bit of kit at the minute. Are there any within the £100-£300 range that are good enough for regular full time use on walls etc? Cheers for the videos Mr Beckwith, very helpful Sir!
TBH... save your money.. that £100-300 is very entry level with airless.
This kit now at £80 would be good or the £40 HVLP (that's on my 5k giveawy too) for you to understand HVLP and it's fine for woodwork.
Airless.... next step up you want to look at the graco GXFF or GX21ff.
going too cheap could put you off if it has the same outcome as the £129 lidl sparyer I had.
When you get down to the Dulux Acadamy.. say high to Tony for me.. really nice guy.
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator thanks as always Phil for detailed reply! Top man! Would you risk using the £80 on walls in folks houses (obviously after a bit of practice) or would you purely use it on woodwork? You did touch on emulsion with it in the video but I wasn’t sure if you were keen on it or not? 😬 I’m going to the Altrincham academy in Cheshire will that still be Tony? Thanks as always!
Hi Phil good video got the esp800 and sprayed wardrobe doors with farrow and ball wood primer but run like mad used the wrong nozzle I think the larger one any tips
Yep. Smaller air cap. Reduce the paint flow, and do test runs on some lining paper increasing the paint flow but by bit till it come out as you want it.
It is suitable for painting decor on walls, small areas of walls
Appreciate the video 👍🏻. Can I just ask. How many door’s could I paint (both sides) before refilling the gun would you say? Thanks
it hold about a litre... you may do 3 or 4+
Nice 1 cheers 👍🏻
Really liking your vids 🙂, Have you tried or done any reviews using the wagner flexio 690 or similar wagner spayers?
hi, tnx. No, as my dad says we have more sprayers than we know what to do with.. I'm not allowed to buy any more! lol. More than willing to try something if @wagner want to send me something to try :)
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator fair enough 😁, hopefully @WAGNERUnitedKingdom will see this and give you something to try 🙂

Thanks Phil - Bought this based on this video - Back to £75 in Screwfix (May 24) - any links for a 2.5mm Nozzel that woudl be suitable for crown trade emulsion for a wall covering please
It comes with a 2.5 needle
i used this for my 3 bed downstairs flat "no spindles" but 8 doors and skirting through out the flat everything undercoated in 1 morning. must say i do use this as a goto for prime or undercoating, not done top coat but have done 3 15x22ft walls and again top notch for all undercoates. class vid phil, i have a question about a sprayer from aldi Deco Style Paint Sprayer £179 but just gone down to £99 on offer. i ask as people say you can change parts with other sprayers ie needles and so on and im wanting advice on its performance or anyone thats tried it? anyways thanks mate and keep up the top vids.👍👍👍
I think with airless you get what you pay for.
Yes you can swap the gun. Or change the tip guard to use the tips you want.
But it depends how often you'll be using it too.
Lube those threads what ever you get
yeah i've got one of these ,, for the money you cant go wrong,, and yes that's how you pronounce Erbauer ..
Hi Phil, great video, I bought one of these last week, apparently they’ve increased the price by 20 quid today. I bought mine to spray MDF cabinets, and it is a great budget sprayer, however I appear to get orange peel no matter what combination of airflow to paint release I try. Can I ask in your experience is this an issue with budget sprayers not having the power to atomise fine enough or do do you think with practice and thinning the paint more you can get a flawless (or close to it) finish with a sprayer like this? Thanks Felix
twofussyblokes fine rollers a pretty almost spray like finish.
Almost ;)
Thin the paint a bit more, turn the air flow up.. see how you get on.
Have to say, both those cheap sprays have given a great finish.
What paint are you spraying with?
Thanks for the speedy reply Phil, I’m using Fleetwood Advanced Satinwood over leyland waterbased primer. And I will definitely try thinning the paint a bit more as spraying is a joy compared to rollers and brushes.
try moving onto some of the Tikkurila range og of paints, it sprays really well
Hi Phil what is the water to paint ratio on the make of paint you are using would you need to water down the paint with the bigger nozel thanks
A bit trial and error. What you don't want is the paint too thick... But thin enough to flow out... But not run.
The smaller air cap is ideal.
Of I were using the QT5 sprayer.. I'd be using the 1.5 needle... unfortunately this setbus doesn't go as small as that.
Great video, dont understand why this hasnt had more views and likes
I was directed to this vid via a review on a screwfix.
Ill be sure to pop your name on there at the same time I purchase this product.
Out of interest! What is the name of the color of the paint that was used ?
Keep up the great work 👌
Much appreciated! Please share away and help more ppl see it. Also check my other content out, it may be of help in the future if not now :)
Hi Phil .
Wow thats great thanks for sharing. Whats best paint spray kitchen cabinets??and furniture in your experience mate ??
you can use this if on a budget..... or if doing a lot of quality work.... QT5 HVLP.. you seen my vids on that?
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator Good morning Phil .great thanks alot 👍 but wants best satin paint to spray for kitchens?? I sprayed diamond dulux was horrible to spray kitchen cabinets year ago did it .and took ages to dry
Good morning Phil cheers 👍 but whats best satin for kitchens cabinets to spray??
we've a job next week.. going back to re paint a kitchen.. was hand painted and finishe din F&B estate eggshell... still looks like it was done yesterday. good condition and the only wear is against the woodstrip next to the tiled work top.
So it's being done in F&B again.. but the modern eggshell.. which is actually a harder wearing finish.... and a bit more sheen level.
have you seen my vids where I show you complted rooms.. i did a couple a number of videos back... panelling.... all done with everal aqua 40.
That's a great paint to use too.
Bit cheaper than F&B..... but not that much in the bigger scheme of things for how much you'll be buying.
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator Hi mate cheers phil .yes much watch that one 👍
Yes that diamond dulux was horrible to spray kitchen nightmare and took ages to dry .
I used zinnzer and still was scratch few days later back to the mahogany kitchen 🤷🏽♂️🤦♂️ i did to use a harder primer and a better satin or eggshell for spraying phil .
That zinnzer 123 plus you used on spindles would it be good spray for kitchens as the primer ??
Would this be any good on kitchen cabinet doors or would the erbauer airless be better,just struggling to get the tips for airless here
Yes. But as with anything.. the more you spend (Qt 5 hvlp) you'll get a better finish
What water based paint would you recommend with a eggshell finish for wood trims and doors that works well with these units.
Easy to apply.... Look at some of the Multi surface paints.
Zinsser all coat exterior (can be used inside as well).
Bedec MSP as well
Hi Phil. Is this suitable for painting walls with emulsion etc ? I spray upvc with a compressor but no knowledge of spraying interiors. Thanks
Yes it will, with it having a bit more power you'll manager.. but it's not like an airless sprayer, so you may need to thin the paint a bit more.
Any advice on spraying Dulux Trade quick dry Satinwood? Struggling with watering down, just getting splatters and runs 😢 spraying with a Wagner W100
Normally that's due to needing thinning more and turn up the air pressure.
But as said before.. some paintw don't spray well.
Does it say on the can it can be sprayed?
@@ProfessionalPainterDecoratorthanks for replying Phil! I will try thinning down more today, as cant adjust pressure. Was worried about thinning too much? Can I thin too much?
Yes the tin says it can be sprayed, wish me luck 😂
I'm an infrequent DIY decorator who needs something that will work with ceilings, walls, skirting and doors, etc. Would you recommend this or the Energer ENB 769SRG that you also reviewed? The price difference between the two doesn't matter to me compared with ease of use and result. Thanks.
Hi. This. The more power the better.
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator thank you. Much appreciated.
That's vastly more productive than the 3m Performance Gun you tested!
And a fraction of the price
With the correct compressor the 3m is a fabulous bit of kit though.
I had just tried this sprayer, but the paint came out as a splatter instead of a fine mist. This resulted in a nasty effect on the wood. Could this be the thickness of the paint or the pressure coming through? It was cold today too and I was painting furniture outside, does the temperature make a difference too?
Any help would be great! Complete beginner here and wanting to upcycle some old furniture in the house (I did pre-sand the wood before hand).
Hi. Yep. Depends also what paint you use.
But yes, tye platter will be due to the thickness. Thin it down more.
Then alter the air low accordingly
Hi mate good info, just wanted to ask can I use oil paint with this machine ?
And can you do a review on ERBAUER EAPS600 ELECTRIC PAINT SPRAYER 600W please ?
Hope your alright after the hit from the pipe 😅👍🏼 cheers
I will check it out.
I don't do oil paints now .. for spraying there's so many great WB paints to use... Why use oil? ;)
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator what is WB paint?
@@bestpeter78 water based
hi phil what sprayer would you recommend for painting 520smtr industrial unint exterior metal cladding
The best you can afford.... Look at anything over £1200... Make sure it's enough umph to be spraying all day!
Gracoy,tritech,titan... Wagner all suitable
Not bad actually!
Can you do a little video of this machine spraying oil based gloss ?
I won't be doin that. I use hardly any oil these days and don't need to spray oil.
If you want a water based gloss to srpay easily through it. look at BEDEC MSP Gloss or AllCoat Exterior (can be used interior as well) Gloss.
Nice one Phil
How much was it again lol😅
How do you prevent drips? If you use a brush or mini roller you can spread the paint but if spraying how will you rectify drips without ruining the finish? Thanks
practice lol
if the paint is too thin it will run..... if you work too slow you will get paint build up.. which can 'sag/curtain'.
If you get the right needle set and get your paint correct.. you don't get runs.
YOU'd soon mastr it.
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator Thanks
Hi Phil you mentioned the 1.8 nozzle where did you get it from, please. Mick
there's two caps in the box, which have you got?
Hi Phil, sorry if this has already been asked but what airless sprayer would you recommend for doing basement walls? Any particularly affordable products on the market? Many thanks.
what condition are they?
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator Dry. Already painted white once by previous owner. Looked like they used some sort of smooth paint.
@@WrathOfVaz this sprayr maybe ideal, thin the paint enough for it to spray.. two coats.. job
done
I want to prime my ikea furniture with Zinsser BIN primer (shelac based) by sprayer. Is this not going to be a good idea/way to do it? Thanks
Is the furniture already a painted finish?
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator is as it comes white melanime from the box
Hi phil can this be used with MATT EMULSION paint as i purchased a house need to quickly paint it all white for now so it looks fresh then later on will decide what colours i will be doing please let me know thanks
yep :)
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator thank you
Can I use this with masonry paint for painting pepple dash? Thinking Sandtex smooth
No.. id use an airless as the sandtex is better sprayed neat.
Think I’m going to bite the bullet and get one, wish it was still £60 though 😂
the price goes up and down like a fair ground ride. bu it's a good way to get into spraying as a starter.
...Well sir, then what's slightly better for the wall/ceiling at similar price, if you can recommend?
Well, what do you want to spend. The more the better when it comes to sprayers
Might buy one this weekend Phil, any good for oil based?
I wouldn't chance it with oil TBH.... Stick with water based, so many good products out there no need to use oil.
The 1.8 would let a lot of oil through it... You'd be cursing.
OK, thanks
hi phil been looking at getting into spraying spindles and fences is this machine able to use oil paints ? can i ask for a video please of how to clean out the machine after using oil paints . just a new arrival to the channel .thanks to you i have i would like to give it a go . thank you .
hi, cleaning is explained in the video,
what oil paint are youthinking of srpaying?
I don't spray oil anymore, so many good water based paints out there, no need to use oil
bin zinser primer dulux trade full gloss / undercoat and once satin oil finishes @@ProfessionalPainterDecorator i just think the oil finish is a bit harder wearing i am just a brush roller guy bit think spraying spindles would save me so much time as doing them by brush takes forever especially when applying 3 coats of paint thanks for your time by the way
@@spyda1967 we're 99% water based now.... can't remember the last time I used oil UC. Gloss or eggshell. There no need now with the wb paints out there.
Oil.. harder, in what way?
no probs phil thanks for your time and help
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator
@@ProfessionalPainterDecoratorare you saying gloss over oil? Can I gloss my architraves and skirting in this? Won’t the pipes get rock solid? Would I clean it with spirit?
You mentioned in reply to a question regarding using lacquer that a 1.3 tip would be best - what brand would fit this gun? Are they universal size to fit all/most guns? Many thanks in advance....
Hi. No, they only give you the two spray needles for this gun.
If you go a 'real' hvlp Sprayer.. you can put small spray needles on those.
Many thanks for the prompt reply - what's the cheapest 'real' hvlp that you'd recommend? Cheers
New subscriber here - excellent informative channel 👍🏻
@@neilc6388 what is it you're wanting to spray?
A keen diyer so will be a mix of jobs - some doors, mdf built in furniture, stand alone furniture, a few walls... who knows what else?! Impressed with the Erbaur but don't mind paying more if I end up with better quality/versatile machine and finish, you know? Cheers
Gonna purchase it because I like a big knob 🤭
So I've heard lol
😂😂
Would it be possible to spray water through it so it also cleas the pipe?
yes, as long as you used water based paint
Hi Phil, I'm a huge fan of your work I've been spraying for 10 years now but I cant find a direct email or anything to ask you some questions about spraying metal containers? Is there anywhere I can speak to you about this as I've got a huge opportunity with a company and want to make things work
Hi John... If you can find me on the decorating Facebook forums you can PM me there.
Containers I've not done
But as for advice... Check out Bedec Barn paint.
I've done a video in it.
It's goes over virtually everything and dried hard.
It may be ideal to use.
Water based as well.
Maybe worth looking at. ;)
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator thank you mate, if its fresh metal and all been prepped by the welders etc do I need to use a degreaser on the container first or anything before spraying it to avoid any issues?
@@joshsutton4246 I'd contact Bedec and see what they say.
We all know if there's grease on any surface it can effect the final finish.
