- After using the Wagner Flexio LIVE on TV for the past 3 yrs, I want to share my pro tips and tricks for troubleshooting and setting up your sprayer for the BEST results. I love mine and hope you will to.
While I do do demos on QVC, Wagner has not asked me to film this clip. I just want to make sure users know the best practices for this tool.

This is the video I've been looking for; thanks! So much more information than others I've watched (like the one that started, "this is my first time using this sprayer). Most excdellent.
You know what!
You saved me 200-300$ because I was making mistake with setup and you showed my mistake and I fixed it.Really appreciate it!
I was blaming wagner and home depot as they sold me broken tool hahahahahahha
Thank you for this video, I’m a visual learner and seeing this really cleared up what I was reading. Thank you again.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I had already given up on my Flexio and then I found your video….Never knew there was a pressure adjustment screw on the trigger. Game changer! I cranked it all the way up and I was able to spray a very think black exterior paint with NO dilution with absolute ease! Thanks again! You saved me hours and hours of brush and roller work and now I have a definite go to for future paint projects!
Thanks for time on this video. Very helpful.
I was having such a hard time with this thing today. I have the control spray xtra duty sprayer and after a few minutes of spraying primer it clogged up to the point of only shooting globs out! It was time for paint, it started to do the same thing after I refilled it once. I watched this and saw you assemble it with the yellow thing horizontal and I took the yellow cap off, turned the yellow thing horizontal, out the cap back on, and it stopped splattering!
I have no idea why this makes a difference but am so glad I watched this! Ty!
Really great explanations!! I was very hesitant before seeing your video, now I'm more confident.
Straight forward and to the point. THanks!!!
Just bought mine and this vid was very informative.
Thanks for sharing and making it
Pretty decent video,i learned a lot,thank you so much. We appreciate your time and knowledge of this sprayer.
Glad it was helpful
I just purchased the Wagner and was feeling a little intimidated by it. You made it look so doable. Thanks, Joan
We. Have had one for a week and are intimidated, I may get up early and just do it! Gee.
Thank you so much for this!! I’ve been searching and searching for tutorials because I’ve had mine a week and it’s been a horrible experience. I’ve melted down a few times feeling like I’m never going to understand and cursed to do everything by hand forever. But after this and reading everyone’s comments (many people had similar problems to mine but said it was fixed with what you showed!) I’m looking forward to trying again and fixing my problem
Thanks for your clear explanation. Keep going!
Thank you
Excellent,concise instructions
Thank you
You are welcome
Excellent explanation of how to use the sprayer, saved me a huge amount of messing around. Much appreciated from Phill Down Under
Thanks for commenting
I appreciate the insights. I had problems with sputtering and paint oozing out the tip. Your video helped to solve the issue. Thank you!!! problem solved!!!!
Love the sprayer and I really enjoy using it.
Can I ask what you did that made the difference? I had a terrible time with mine today it just kept spitting out gloves. I tried every adjustment and I kept wiping the tip as it tells you to do if you turn it off. It just seemed like it was clogging up the whole time.
Great video! Saved me a lot of time. Much appreciated!!!
Very welcome!
you really know how to use that sprayer. I've seen so many people use that sprayer on youtube and did a horrible job but you did a great job. Would of been nice to see you spray that in normal time
1000 thanks for the excellent job you have done showing and explaining how to use the paint sprayer. Thank you especially for showing how to put together the air cap. I kept doing it all wrong because it was already put together and I needed to adjust it. I know I am not making any sense but you did and your video helped me a great deal!! Thank you so much.!!!!
You made day. Thanks for reaching out
The best video instruction for a novice over there! thank you
You are welcome
@@DIYHIPChicks Well, I didn't think it would be important to mention this but since it is important to you, I actually first watched this video last week ---- searching for the best spraying machine --- and after watching your video went and bought the Wagner. Presently, I am following your instructions on how to assemble it properly. :)))
Well done, others I've watched can't compare
THank you. I spent 3 yrs working with this tool. I know it well and how to navigate around the hiccups
Good info
When cleaning up, also check and clean the rubber plug under the clear plastic tube.
Work great on ceiling
Thanks
a good product
Girl thank you.
You are so welcome! I am teaching a new class in Feb if you are interested. diyhipchicks.simplero.com/page/350876
❤wow thank you!
You're welcome 😊
That "turbine motor" is called is called the atomizer. That model is an HVLP atomizer model, which turns the paint into a super fine mist as it atomizes the paint during the spray process.
I fully agree with @daengineer1553. None of the Wagner vidoes mentions the screw on the trigger and mine was half way out. All I got was PAINT SPLATTER. Once I cranked it in I got a smooth finish. Thank You.
Happy I could help. I spent 3 yrs doing on air demos. Engineers and sales people don't use it as much I did
THANK YOU so much for creating this video. I wish I would have watched it before I started. I’ve been so hesitant to use the sprayer, I kept painting the traditional way (edger, brushing and rolling) on small walls and corners. I have the larger walls left in the 3 rooms and I’m finally going use the sprayer there now. Thank you again.
Any tips when painting walls when both the walls and ceiling are textured (that’s how they do it here in Texas)?
Sorry for delay. If doing textured walls I would try taping brown paper snugly along edge it that won't hold I would stop spraying a few inches before edges and brush them like cutting in. Yes it takes some time but less time than redoing edges
The yellow screw 5:24 seems to serve no particular purpose with this combination, and has nothing to do with the volume . The only problem it may cause is if it is screwed right out it may interfere with the pump body. The trigger is for the W 2000 and 3000 models with the 2 stage pump stop-start on the trigger so you can adjust the play in the trigger from pump on to paint on. The W 575 model has the side on off switches so doesn't need that part of the trigger. They obviously both use the same spray/tank unit. The stop for the W575 model is a small steel screw behind the trigger, above the yellow screw. Took a bit of a search to find this out, as somebody else here commented there is nothing in the 575 instructions which mentions this. They are a handy sprayer and make the job easy. I found thinning acrylic paint 10-20% with a flow rate of 2-3 on low speed works well. I still have a Wagner W 400SE electronic piston sprayer I bought in the late 70s which is still working well, but is way obsolete, so I thought it was time to upgrade as parts are hard to find. The only down side with the new guns is they are bigger, heavier and need separate accessories to do the same as one of the early piston guns. Good video for beginners .
I have a 350 model. My issue is that it’s blowing air out but the paint isn’t coming out at all? Any thoughts?
I have all the settings right I think for spraying white paint, but it seems to be coming out splattering and then it doesn’t leave a smooth finish, any tips for a better smooth finish on wood?
How did you manage not to get paint on the ceiling or the floor? Did you tape of the areas?
Thank you for video. My first try painting outside front door terrible. Cleaned out sprayer but now can’t get bucket off of sprayer (was washing it out per directions now it’s stuck on with a bit of paint water inside) help any tricks to get can off of sprayer?!!!!
Hi sorry for delay. Ugh yes it happens. THink of getting cap off elmers glue. The paint gets dried on threads of screw cap. I will soak the whole spray (minus the motor of course) in a bucker of warm water. I have also gently tapped the paint bucket on the ground to break the seal of dried paint. Get a buddy to help too. 4 hands are better than 2.
great video what do you think of all the wager models there is a few models what's best for painting kitchen cabinets, thank you i like Ur video,,
I prefer the Flexio models. They give you more control features
Hi. Thanks for the great video. I recently bought this Wagner sprayer to paint my kitchen cabinets. The primer went on fine, however the top coat had a lot of bubbles in it. I am using kilz water based primer and Benjamin Moore water based paint for my top coat. Any ideas on how to prevent this. I waited 24 hours between each coat. Thanks for any jmput
HI sorry for the delay. How did you make out? Sometimes bubbles are from humidity.
Please, how can I get machine ?
I bought a 350 and it kept clogging I was trying to paint with a primer and paint mix what setting would you suggest ?
Depending on paint viscosity, you can add teaspoon or tbsp of water. Mix really well. Esp for dark colors. Use 10-12 setting.
I prefer the bags in the container
They are nice but sometimes they get stuck on end of spout and suction fails.
My sprayer is spraying exactly the opposite pattern I expect. When the nozzle is horizontal, I expect a horizontal fan pattern where the left and right are angled in the spray pattern. Instead, I get the vertical fan where the spray is angled up and down. I'm assembling the unit exactly as described, but the pattern is never the same as the spray nozzle, but rather the opposite. :(
That is correct. It is counterintuitive. Position the yellow directional head opposite of how you want paint to flow. It is that way because of how the air pushes the paint
You def need to filter as well .. though my wagner is a very user friendly gun unlike my graco ultra .always clogs just love the wagner just its bit more get all over da place.
You can filter. You can also thin the paint a bit for easier spraying. Thinning helps w darker paint for sure
Is it necessary to back roll when using the 2000 model ??
Every now and then if it gets too heavy. It does some practice to keep it moving. Consider thinning the paint w teaspoon of water and lowering settings.
After using it I attempted to use it again the next day after a good clean-up and it will blow but it will not spray paint
It happened to me also. There's a small, sneaky drain hole at the top of the paint spout. Take off the white 'halo' and clean that hole. I didn''t clean it, it dried and clogged, the machine ran but wouldn't spray. Cleaning that hole was the answer. good luck.
Mine either wont spray after a thorough clean out or it sprays intermittently, or pulsed when spraying with paint spraying off and on
Tip is clogged. Trying running it with dish washer put it in different setting low and high. Or paint thinner if its oil paints
Was that bit at the end all done on one fill up?
Not sure of your question....
@@DIYHIPChicks Hello! They're asking if you sprayed the whole wall/area with one canister fill or did you have to stop and refill the canister to finish the project? Basically how much paint did you use? 😊
I should ahve watched this a long time ago
nah...they're just kinda trash after the first few uses.
All kinds of troubleshooting and meticulous cleaning just to run for 5 minutes.
You could learn to use and maintain a firearm in 1 weekend, for the rest of your life....without the mess.
@@o.astamp5680 can do. But s gun won't paint the trim
SOrry you have not had a better experience.
I have the Wagner 590 and I’m using the smaller gun to paint kitchen cabinets and drawers/doors. I’m about to lose my mind! The air flow tube is filling up with paint after about 1/2 hr of spraying. I’m thoroughly cleaning it , every millimeter of this thing is spotless, so I know nothing is clogged. I can’t find any troubleshooting info anywhere to tell me what this particular issue is caused from.
Idk how it works with oil based paints, but in another vid I watched they suggested watering the paint down by 10%.
Hey sorry I took some time away from YT. Are you still having a hard time??? LMK if I can help. bethallen@diyhipchicks.com
I have the 2500 and according to the manual you can use it for larger or smaller jobs. So I decided I wanted to use it to paint some metal Louver closet doors instead of buying new ones however... It was spitting and spitting and I couldn't seem to get the settings right. I was using bullseye primer so I tried thinning it a little and it didn't seem to work. When I was getting to the end of the job it seemed that it was a bit clogged so I took it apart a little bit and clean the tip put it back together and I think that might have been the problem from the beginning. It might have had something clogging the nozzle. By that time I was beat. So I'm going to try again. I'll probably have to sand down the doors lightly and the next attempt will be with paint so if it sounds like I did something wrong please let me know but in the end I had it on about it number 8 and number 2 Turbo with the wide setting🙄 it also seemed like it was using a ton of product and I have to admit it's very hard to clean. This is the third type of paint sprayer of used and the others didn't use near as much product is this does. I went to this one cuz it was cheaper than buying a new compressor. And cleaning the other spray guns took about 1/10 of the time as this one does🤔🤔
Someone said to tighten that little screw and it fixes the spluttering
will it spray minwax polycrylic
Yes. DIfferent settings for thinner solutions
My Paint Sprayer stopped working. ...
Any suggestions ???
Best tip - take apart and wash thoroughly. Is paint older, too thick? Add tbsp water to cup. Check that the small hole on spout stem is clear. Make sure vacuum hose on side is secure. LMK if any of that helps.
I bought a wagner paint sprayer in the 1990's. I needed to spray the deck and fences. I had the stain in the machine and all ready to go only to find out that the nozzles were not included. ( I wish they would have printed that information on the front of the box.) I ran back to the store and purchased what I needed. After painting for about 60 min. it clogged and wouldn't work. I tried cleaning and adjusting. Nothing worked, I ended up tossing it in the garbage. It was very expensive and I was very disappointed. I really thought Wagner had the best product for home use. I would like to try again but I'm apprehensive about trying again. Many of today's products that were great in the past are using cheaper parts and not lasting like they use to. I would love to use the Wagner power painter but I'm not sure what to do.
Cathy. Hi. I do love my sprayer. You have to clean it often as you work because paint dries and clogs. Just nature of using it. The tech support team is very helpful. Humidity affects it too. So read paint label. I do not work for Wagner anymore. Personnel issue, not BC I don't like product. Hope that helps😔
Just bought one and not spraying
No matter what I tried I could not get a smooth finish. Also be careful not to screw that trigger not too far because it'll cause paint to use out the front and you'll end up with a bunch of boogers all over whatever you're painting
👍🥇🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦
These suck....total overkill.
Get paint everywhere, and after the first few uses require all sorts of special cleaning and troubleshooting just for them to run for 5 minutes.
Its a nice idea, but another manifestation of our "Everything fast and instant" culure.
Just pick out a day or two, get a friend or family member to help...and buy them pizza.
It's worked for centuries.
interesting until you said it was fun--- PAINt... a dentist is fun- they have gas...
I bought this sprayer and tried to use it twice. Total garbage! It is loud, heavy, unwieldy, when it sprays any paint (which isn't often) it ends up spraying it on EVERYTHING in the room. Save your time, money, and sanity, just get a brush and roller. Also the unit takes close to an hour to clean up.
*user error*
I got mine. Figured it out using a few times. Now i paint like a pro. You have to have in the right setting or it wont paint right. Depends on what paint, varnish, stain your using
Def requires some practice. But is great once you set it properly. I don't work w Wagner any more but still love my sprayer
