It gets me everytime how just 11h of work can make such a diffrence for a space! (And last for ages) Great job and I love all of your thoughts during the project that is very helpful! Have a great weekend!
The old 590! It is definitely a learning curve but your project here is exactly what it is designed for. I was swearing at it a lot attempting a ceiling for my first project with it but outside I can't imagine doing what you did with a brush and roller. Great job.
Nice job on the fence and video. A few tips I can offer as a painter. Stain is usually better for fences but certain colors may not be attained this way. If painting and priming, tint the primer to a color close to finish color and you only need to do 1 finish coat if you get good coverage. These sprayers are meant for smaller jobs since the bigger sprayers with a hose are meant for big jobs. Most companies use bigger ones on most jobs since they don't spit out gobs of paint and are much faster than these. The clean up is worse than with these though depending on how over spray. You should always spray outside when it is not windy so you don't end up painting cars down the street or your neighbour's house as well lol. That's why we have insurance... Good luck in future!
Great Job, the fence looks fantastic, I have just purchased one of these sprayers but have not used it yet. your video provided me with a lot of information about using it, thankyou. keep up the good work.
just finished a painting job, fence with quick drying latex paint. Had some trouble here and there. instructions said mix 10% water if spraypainted. That is for high pressure sprayer though. I used 13% through and noticed that if the paint can be poured through a paint sieve with one go, without waiting, you're good to go. Quick drying fence paint dried quickly in the nozzle. I wiped it as intructed in this video. Halfway through I started to waterboard the sprayer. when I stopped, wet rag on top of and in contact with nozzle head within 10 seconds. painted 4 hours without any trouble. Job finished, lots of confidence in spray painting gained. Thank you for a good video.
Great video. Thank you for sharing your experiences 👍 I bought the same unit from Bunnings around a year or so ago. Wanted to use it for the house interior. Ended up using it for the front picket fence, and must have been doing something wrong, because I would get globs of paint spewing out every so often. Ended up getting it to work, but oh boy was it a workout! Cleaned it up and packed it away. A few months later a friend moved into a new house and wanted to repaint the whole house. I offered him the unit and the same problem occurred. Globs of paint spurting out all over the wall and floor 😅 I left it with him, and he brought it back saying it was a learning curve, but he was able to wrangle it into submission, and did his painting with it. To be honest, I am scared to pick up the unit a again. One really needs to have a huge paint job to justify bringing it out and cleaning the unit up afterwards. I am happy you were happy with your experience though 👍👍
Ooo good to know. We’re you thinning the paint? May have something to do it with but I’m no expert 😃 we will see how I like it when I use it on future projects 😃
Oh then I wonder what it was? The clean up wasn’t that bad. Think it took us about 10 mins. You wouldn’t want to use it for small jobs that’s for sure.
Just about to do a project today have not used yet. One video suggested doing vertical first on your base coat then horizontal on your second coat to ensure even coverage. not sure how true this is but seems to make sense.
I think if you were working on a flat surface that would be the best action. I found on my fence the vertical direction worked best. I say do what works best for you 😀 good luck on the project 😀😀
Hi Thanks so much for your informative video. Can I ask what primer and paint did you use to paint the fence? I am looking to paint my new front fence but haven't decided which one to go for. Thank you in advance.
Just a tip for anyone watching. If you do an undercoat first, get it tinted to the colour of your top coat. Makes it much easier. Been using the same sprayer for timber furniture abound the house. It's worked well so far. Just did our front door in a dulux aquanamel. The door has a lot of detail so painting with a brush would have taken me an hour I think. The sprayer took about 2 minutes.
Great video, thanks for sharing, I have a similar fence to paint, maybe few meters longer and I'm torn between the Flexio 590 and the 690. Do you think the 590 was great fo this job or you think the 690 will be more suitable? Thanks in advance
Hey thank you. I don’t have any experience with the 690 but the 590 was great. The only thing I wish I did differently is use the bigger sprayer attachment instead of the small one I used in the video. For a job like a fence the larger one would have been quicker. I think either way any sprayer is going to be easier then rolling or brushing when it comes to a fence 😎 happy spraying
Hi Bruno, probably a bit late with a reply - but the only difference between the 590 and the 690 is that the 690 has the compressor part separate instead of part of the handheld. The actual performance of the 590 is slightly better (400ml/min on 690, 500ml/min on the 590), but generally speaking they use the same compressor, same attachments, etc. I was toying between the two but ultimately went with the 590 as it'd be less cumbersome than the 690 with its 3.5m air hose, and also that the 590 comes with its own case.
Great video. I am contemplating buying a Wagner to use on various projects I have going around my home. I've attempted to use a similar type sprayer one other time and had a big hot mess on my hands. One of the projects I am doing in my own home is replacing all of my baseboards and door casings plus I have a couple of feature walls that I am going to do and I need a smooth factory looking finish while using a self leveling paint. One thing that concerns me in watching your video is that you had paint all over your hands. I'd like to know why that was. Did the spray gun spit all over? Thanks
Hey Thank you. The gun itself does not leak paint. You do need to regular clean the head of the sprayer with a towel which is quick and easy. I'm lazy and when I need to wipe paint away or anything I end up using my hands hence the paint on my hands.
Just curious how much paint you used for this project... Guessing it's 30 meters of fence, 2 meters high with 2 coats (less undercoating). So 120 cubic meters? How much paint did you go through? It looks like a wonderful job. I just bought this sprayer, it should be arriving today - Oh, and hello from the USA (Florida)
Hey thank you much 😀 I used about 10L not including the undercoat 😀 I thought it had great coverage and I thought I was going to use more so was surprised with the usage. 😀
Yet another Small Fry Creations video of something we’ve been thinking of doing. We looked into getting our fences done and it was probably $1000+ for similar length to what you did. Looks like another summer job for the list. What’s the difference between inside and outside spraying? Would you recommend one of these for doing a pool fence?
Hey that’s awesome. It is 100% doable on your own with the sprayer. I’m not 100% sure of the difference between inside and outside sprayer as I haven’t used the inside one yet. I think it 100% perfect for a pool fence. Just get some thin MDF to put behind the section fence your painting and work your way along. We were very happy with the paint finish. It looks very professional 😃 Good luck 😃
@@SmallFryCreations ....annnnnnnnnnd starting this project today :) Fortunately my laziness worked in my favour and we had to completely replace the pool fence as the (stupid) steel posts had rusted out at the bottom. But getting into the fence at the back of the pool area today. Rewatched and got some great tips - thanks.
@@SmallFryCreations It went great. Borrowed a Wagner sprayer from a friend but he didn’t clean it properly after last use. Ended up buying a new “small” replacement spray pot from Bunnings and that worked great - mostly. I’d say 75% of the time it went great, 25% was a complete pain. Diluting the metal paint with 10% turps super helped. My next door neighbour had an old door he put two 100mm nails into and we hung that on the fence to prevent overspray and that worked great. I probably spent $250 on paint and $50 on replacement pot painting one side of the colourbond fence. Considering we spent $800 completely replacing the other fence a few months ago - split between us and the other neighbour - and that was one day work vs two painting a primer / etch and then two coats, I do wonder if replacing the panels might have been a better deal. But still painting was fun and thanks for all your help and advice. Love your reviews and genuine real life projects.
@@MaximumChips YAHOO!! thats so good. Such a better way to go then paying someone. Learning and saving money in the one go! Great idea with the door to prevent overspray. So glad you had fun and enjoyed the process. Now you can look at it and know you did it!!
Hey yep the basalt was wethersheild. Yep 100% could and I should have used the larger sprayer. The sprayer at the time was new to me and one the info it said the smaller one was for fences, larger okie indoor paints. I have since learnt that is a terrible way to explain it or think of it. 😀
No major tips. It pulls apart into a couple different pieces and I just clean throughly with water. Nothing special. Main thing is clean straight away use and don’t wait. If your in between coats you can glad wrap the paint pot to save the paint and clean the sprayer part so nothings dries inside. Happy painting 😀
Holly Doolly You just made my mind up M8 Im going to do a Colour Bond fence this weekend Was Quoted $3,500 I should be able to finish it for ???? 3 to $400 MAX + my labour inc buying a good applicator. Been told Wagner are good. Thanks HEAPS!! Dave
11 hours for 2 coats including filming time on 30m of fence sounds pretty fast to me based on how long it took to paint my own fence with roller and brush.
I don't know what your instructions say, but I don't think "indoor" and "outdoor" is the distinction for those two sprayers. I believe "large project" and "small project" would be better identifiers. You used the small project bottle/sprayer on a large project. A large project would be walls, interior or exterior, and fences. A small project would be furniture or cabinets.
It gets me everytime how just 11h of work can make such a diffrence for a space! (And last for ages) Great job and I love all of your thoughts during the project that is very helpful! Have a great weekend!
Thanks Simon. It was nice to see a big difference 😃

Great video. Very informative. Thanks
Fantastic. Your welcome. Thank you 😀
It's amazing the difference a coat of paint makes. Great job, Ainslee.
Sure does!! Thanks Chris😃
Great job very informative might have to buy one of these in the future

Yeah, the paint used was watered down.
How did you feel about the cleanup afterwards?
Oh then I wonder what it was? The clean up wasn’t that bad. Think it took us about 10 mins. You wouldn’t want to use it for small jobs that’s for sure.
My sentiments exactly!
I wonder what would be a good small job painter? Perhaps just a brush and/or roller?
Amazed by the result !!!!!! I would love to see you using the sprayer in a furniture !!!!! Cool job !!!

@@SmallFryCreations was a great video by the way. Thinking of spraying the driveway after seeing your other video :)
Should have used the bigger pot, it has a larger nozzle and perfect for your application.

Think she got confused between 5 cm and 5 inches !
