All the hours you put in creating these videos really shows, each one reaching new levels. As entertaining as they are informative. I know you put a lot of hard work and thought into these videos so well done ❤
Thanks for the video, interesting to see the quickshot getting good use in a tight space.I'll often stick an antinox board behind railings like that just to soak up the overspray
Pete, aside from demonstrating careful masking and spraying techniques, your video production values are top-shelf! As a cameraman and editor in a previous vocational incarnation, I appreciate how much time goes into your videos. Love your low-key, succinct presentation style, brother! Many thanks. :)
Thank you buddy, hope you’re keeping well 🙏 ..Yeah hopefully it shows how it’s performing in ‘real world’ professional jobs.. especially considering that I was using it prior to its launch - it really has helped me complete many small spray runs of joinery and spraying small ceilings.. always using less than one battery, couple of refills and spraying effortlessly at low pressure 💙 Always great to hear from you my friend.. regards Pete 🙏
Brilliant stuff Pete,so much information fair play to you for all the knowledge and help for others you put in to these vids,I work in private and occupied homes pretty much all the time and the slowest part of the job is always the woodwork,I use the brush and mini roller on doors and frames etc and even though I'm a fast worker it still takes so long I can also see the brush marks and roller marks especially around handles even though I try to be neat with my finish,this video is inspiring me to be braver and get the sprayer out 😊
I’ve been learning from Pete since he started this channel - I’d urge you to spray the woodwork as not only is the finish flawless but it takes a fraction of the time. Yes, the masking takes time but the sharp edges are worth it. I recently had a large HSL to do and had to brush/roll the woodwork - it took hours whereas spraying takes minutes. Do give it a go, your clients will thank you! Best wishes, Rob
Hi Eddie, thank you for the kind words my friend.. I very much appreciate all the support you’ve shown the channel 🙏 ..I know what you’re saying, I’ve brushed / rolled countless doors / frames and runs of skirting 😩 ..spraying really is worth it, once you get your head around the masking and get quicker.. spraying is much less laborious and the finish is mind blowing 👌 ..Go for it my friend 💙 Regards Pete
nice work.yea we usually spray ceiling first,then spray trims and doors.then sand walls ,tape skirtings so no spitting on skirts from rollers,sand walls and roll
@@chrisb1341 oh, I thought you were spraying, I used to do residential, we did trim first, then mask that, spray & roll walls, then we masked the top 12" of wall and spray and roll ceilings
That’s the order I go for on an ‘all sprayed’ project.. woodwork / trim -> walls -> the I mask with 99” plastic to protect the wall and trim (Vs your 12” paper) ..and I spray the ceiling in last 👍 hope you’re keeping well my friend.. regards Pete 💙💯
best spray video I have seen.... really appreciated. On the bannister would you spray the handrail first or the bottom part so that overspray falls on wet paint? thanks in advance and will keep watching.
Apologies for my delayed reply, sometimes I don’t get the notification.. that’s a good question.. it all depends on the configuration of the staircase - in this video the handrail was finished in a stain and clear lacquer, so I found it best to spray that first and wrap it in brown paper to protect it for the duration of the project.. otherwise I look to spray the rail last and lay on a nice ‘wet’ coat that dries down lovely.. this is what the customer is putting their hand on, you want it to feel top notch 👌 Thanks for your support, I very much appreciate it.. regards Pete 💙💯
hi pete i do like KIP products but get frustrated by them not fitting on an easy-masker. I do wish they'd adjust their tube widths to fit. The 2.6 meter can be a total pain to deploy on your hand or finger. Great vid. Keep up the content!
Hi Timothy, great to hear from you buddy, and great feedback on Kip.. could you send me a link to the masker that you’re using and I’ll send the info to Kip ..I find the pre-taped plastic film easier to mask but trickier to cut.. so far the best solution I’ve found is to use a safety cutter (I put it in my mouth until I need it to cut a run) 😄 ..all the best my friend.. regards Pete
Nicely done, HQ. Question: you appear to frequently shoot closer than 12" (30mm) often promoted elsewhere ...and not always at a robotic 90 degrees ..yet you appear to achieve a fine finish. ...practice not doubt, but any other tweaks? Tip I saw elsewhere: take two paint sticks forming a tight V ...drag them down your mesh paint bag = "Look Ma, clean hands." Cheers. Jim/Maryland
Hi Jim, thank you my friend got your feedback and sharing a very good tip.. Regarding how close - it’s something I’ve heard fed back to me before and I’ve questioned myself (I have a very analytical mind 😄), whilst I may well get closer than approx 12” sometimes in error, I think mostly it’s the camera angle / or somewhat an illusion.. over the years I’ve replayed footage (certainly in video editing) and I agree it can look close, but in reality I haven’t been that close - never any heavy transfer of material anyway 👍😄 ..I do value your feedback and tips, please keep in touch.. kind regards my friend.. Pete 🇺🇸💙💯
Hi Chris, thank you for watching my friend.. the tip numbering is relatively straightforward - the easy bit is the first number (2 in your example).. double it, and that’s your fan width in inches at 12” away from the surface (so 4” inches) - the 06 represents orifice size in hundredths of an inch so 06 is .006” ..other examples are ‘10’ (eg 210) - .010” orifice size.. what this means to airless spraying is .006 and .008 are for very thin, free flowing paints.. next size up, .010 for example would be for slightly thicker and typically for woodwork - paints that can also be brushed / rolled.. the .015, .017 are for thicker still, emulsion / latex wall / ceiling paints.. hope this helps a little 👍😄 regards Pete 💙💯
Thanks Pete. As I’ll only concentrate on woodwork initially the smaller tip sizes are of interest. I prime with zinsser bullseyes and top coat with Benjamin Moore so 206/208 tips?? Thanks
Thank you Phil.. apologies for my delayed reply.. I’m using AkzoNobel WP136, an edge sealing / high build primer.. it’s an industrial WB 1K product, that’s basically spray only.. I’m not familiar with the EA Primer, I’m guessing it can be brushed also.. I’ll have to try it 👍 ..All the very best my friend, keep up the good work 🙏 ..regards Pete
Pete - great video. Interested how you tape the door up at the start of the video? When it's ajar. I've got loads of the kip dispensers kicking around if they're any good to you? I'll send you some in the post if you cwant them? Kindest, Matt
Hi Matt, thank you buddy.. this video should help, step by step to masking a door ajar - to hit all edges - you can mask it wider too (24”), to get the hinge side - or manually paint the hinge side in after.. all very useful when working on multiple doors (HSL) for example, and it’s not feasible to remove and store the doors.. Thanks for your very kind offer, leave it with me because I do like to post out Kip products / bundles for people to try.. maybe I could help you by sending some Kip your way 👍😄 Keep in touch my friend, Regards Pete 💙💯
Amazing video thank you! I found an answer to my question about why you decided to roll the walls based on blocking access to rooms in an occupied home. That makes sense thank you. I intend to do one small room at a time as to break up the time commitment and strain on the pump. Question about ventilation. Do I need to worry about ventilation if doing an interior, ie windowless, bathroom?
Hey buddy.. it should work, might be a bit messy after a bit but yeah I don’t see no reason it wouldn’t work.. just make sure the storage plug remains open and air can get in the lid (when spraying) 👍 Regards Pete
Hello pete great video I have a tritech i use on new builds for walls and ceilings. But want a unit to spray oil on doors and frames what would be better. Quickshot or a GX21
Hey buddy.. if working on new builds, day in day out, with multiple doors - I wouldn’t use the QuickShot, it would get overworked.. a Cordless GXFF could be handy (free of power cords and power restrictions), or a 390 Cordless (plus hopper kit) for a pump with a bit more ‘guts’.. all the best my friend, let me know how you get on.. regards Pete
Hi Pete, hope you're well. I'm just binge watching your videos 🤣 could you tell me what whip hose you use and where I can get one please. Keep up the good work "let us spray"🙏 😎
Good morning sir, apologies for my delayed reply.. it’s a 1/8” 1.4m Graco whip hose.. here’s the link my friend 👍 www.sprayman.co.uk/product/bluemax-ii-airless-whip-hose-1-8-in-x-1-3-m-4-5-ft/
Hi thanks for the video ❤ please. Could you explain which filters to use? I'm going to be using bin bulls eye 123 primer. Then farrow and ball dead flat matt as top coat. On some wardrobes. Just a bit unsure about filters. Never sprayed before
Thanks for watching 🙏 Sure, happy to help my friend.. Use the blue / 100 mesh filter(s) 👍 Keep in touch, would love to hear how you get on.. welcome to the wonderful world of spraying.. regards Pete
Great video and production 👍 Quick question? Do you find using the srayer using more paint? For example how much paint did you use overall to spray the stair case? Thanks Ty.
Hey Josh, thank you very much 🙏 ..108 or 106 ?.. reason I check is the 108 is pretty tough to use with the low viscosity paints I spray.. you have to move super quick 😩.. whereas the new 106, you gain so much more control because if it’s reduced flow.. yeah the 106 is great, perfect for spindles 👍 ..regards Pete
Seven months since this video, would you still recommend the Quick-shot? I have a Titan 440 Impact that works very well, but I'm considering this unit for it's portability and short hose. Also can the quickshot be used with an extension for ceiling spraying?
Great question.. yeah seven months, time flies.. I can honestly say without doubt, the UQS has helped me complete, either small projects (such as small bathroom ceilings, feature walls, cupboard spaces) - or small parts of bigger projects, for example yesterday I sprayed in an internal door, a door frame and a small run of trim 👍 ..it’s the ability to get setup with a small quantity of paint, spray the job and clean up - quickly with very minimal waste 👍 a great compliment to the bigger pumps, where it’s a bit much to setup, just to spray less then a litre (32oz).. it’s so quick to flush a primer and then get on with the topcoat 👍 go for it, you won’t regret it.. regards Pete 💙💯
@mojosdad68 Ah sorry I didn’t answer that part.. You can use extensions, it’s a standard 7/8” fitting - spits are a little less because of the electronic gun and quick needle 👍 but they’re still there due to lower pressure paint in the extension, after the needle shut off 👍 ..I’ve got a couple more videos on the QuickShot, it’s a great small project airless sprayer 👏👏👏 regards Pete
Would a 206 tip be ok for spraying diamond eggshell on units etc? I’m currently using a 310 or 410 but seems like the paint is coming out quite thick still? Thanks
Hello my friend.. because the product is thixotropic (can also be brush / rolled), I don’t feel it will go through a .006 orifice - typical a .006 is for very low viscosity / free flowing / spray only 👍 ..I would usually say a .010, but with you saying a 310 / 410 the flow is fast / sounds like a heavy coat.. you could try a 308, typically for low viscosity, but very often sprays slightly thicker (brush / roller) products 👍 ..or move quicker with the 310 / 410 tip (and double check you’re nut too close - aim for approx 12” away from surface 👍 hope this helps my friend.. keep in touch.. regards Pete 💙💯
Hello my friend.. I tend to use the Trimaco paint strainer bags - you can wash them out easily and reuse (if using WB paints).. Or fruit / veg bags, readily available in UK supermarkets (fruit and veg isle) in Aldi, Lidl, Asda 👍 However, paint quality and ‘sprayability’ of paint plays a big part - heavy / course pigments can cause smaller orifice tips to block 👍 Hope this helps 🙏 Keep in touch.. regards Pete
Thanks Pete. Awesome info as always. I’m the sprayer I am today because of your valuable content. Enjoy the coffee! Do you know by any chance why my cordless ultra max either doesn’t prime or sprays when I’m priming? Hoping it’s not the pump😟
Hey Jonny, thank you for your kind words my friend.. Regarding the UltraMax, can you prime and spray water.. with water in the cup, tip guard removed - turn the sprayer upside down, prime, then spray (still upside down).. does water spray ?
Hi Pete, Very interesting to see you use the plastic-backed fleece. I’ve been using thick paper (for hard floors) and film over carpet. The paper is a pain as it needs to be largely cut to size so I think I’ll give the fleece a go. Could you please post a link to a supplier? Hope you’re keeping well. With best wishes, Rob
Have you used the Graco ultra handheld? If so, do you like the new Quickshot better than the ultra handheld. I have two of the ultra handheld and abused them for seven years now. I have some of the other Graco larger machines like the 490 and use it all the time for spraying ceilings. I spray a lot of doors and a lot of trim and I’m getting into kitchen cabinets spraying and thinking the quick shot might be better for kitchen cabinets. What do you think? I enjoy your channel.
Hey Brian, thank you for watching the PaintHQ channel and sharing your experience too.. you’ve got a great setup with smaller HH’s complimenting your bigger Graco pump - you sound a very wise sprayer my friend 👏👏 Yes I’ve long been a fan of the Graco HH technology and showcased the Ultra and UltraMax units on here 💙 In short, yes I prefer the Ultra QuickShot - I’m sure that’s perhaps easy to say, but to explain - it’s the hopper style feed I like, short hose, it really takes very little to prime and get spraying.. I’m confident I’ve even saved money on less materiel waste 👍 then of course the electronic gun - quick trigger and needle shutoff, no spits and it so easy to manoeuvre into tight areas - perfect for kitchen spraying (again like you, not to replace the bigger pumps).. keep in touch my friend, it’ll be great to hear your thoughts in future 🙏 regards Pete 💙💯
Good question my friend.. I use this low tack washi by Kip nextdaypaint.co.uk/products/kip-premium-low-tack-washi-tec-masking-tape-209 I choose Kip for the quality and reliable first time results.. the purple sensitive tape in particular has enough tack so the masking is not falling down, but the performance isn’t compromised.. I also like the colour, it’s important to be able to see the sharp ceiling cut line you’re wanting to mask 👍 ..Keep in touch my friend, great to get your input.. regards Pete
Hi pete , i got a quick shot today and when i got it home put water in it to see what like to spray and kept dripping water snd spray tip and guard on tight 🤷🏽♂️ did you ever come across that or heard that bro ??
@niall1437 Hi Niall, it shouldn’t behave that way with paint going through the unit / gun.. So I’m quietly confident to reassure that your new UQS is not defective 👍 Basically that was my first thought, I wanted to get confirmation before passing onto you 😄 let me know how you get on completing projects with your new Ultra QuickShot 💙💯 regards Pete
@@PaintHQ Afternoon buddy, I was thinking that could be it , Ive job in couple of weeks,when i be using it so let you know enjoy rest your week Pete 😊👍
No my friend.. if using a shellac and you’re wanting to thin, you would use methylated spirit / denatured alcohol (not water).. hope this helps my friend - happy to help if I can, anytime.. regards Pete 💙💯
Hi Pete, can you help please? Apologies I see you’ve moved to Graco products but I have the Wagner 150M. I’ve watched your other videos to find an answer but as a DIYer it gets a bit confusing! I want to spray my wooden staircase spindles and handrail.(the spindles a 40mm x 40mm thick) I will be using a water based fleetwood paint, satin finish. Although I can’t control the pressure, can I use any of the ‘smaller’ tips with this model? Or which tip would you advise that might work the best? Might the 211 work or would there still be too much overspray? The tips a quite expensive here so just wanted to ask before I go out and buy and want to try use the sprayer since I’ve already spent the money on that too! 😅 (I used it for my kitchen cabinets with already and loved the finished result!) Thank you 🙏
Sure no problem, happy to help if I can 👍 I’m thinking the 211 tip that you have could well work, I’d be reluctant to suggest you buying something additional, only to be disappointed.. I’m not familiar with the Fleetwood brand, but did give it a quick google.. are you in Ireland?.. anyhow, I’d guess Fleetwood can also be brushed / rolled, so could well suit the .011 tip .. then it’s a 4” fan, so like the 206 I’m using, your overspray will be minimal, going around 40mm spindles.. what tip did you use with the kitchen cabinets?.. well done by the way, sounds like you had success.. To quickly explain other options - you could swap out the standard 7/8” tip guard for e a Graco RAC X tip guard and use day a FFLP 210 for the fine finish / low pressure ..I wouldn’t recommend a 206 like I’m using with the lack of a pressure control (I wouldn’t be sure it would work).. a 210 ‘should’ work, but I couldn’t justify suggesting you spend the additional money, like you say costly where you are.. so yeah go for the 211 👍 you’ve got nothing to loose 🙏 ..always happy to help if I can my friend.. regards Pete
@PaintHQ Hi Pete, thank you so much for the helpful advice. Yes, I am in Ireland, Fleetwood is like our version of Dulux I guess! I used the 311 tip for the cabinets with a F&B estate eggshell paint- it gave a really smooth and clean finish, much better than expected for my first time spraying and so satisfying to not have any brush strokes. Hoping I can get a similar result on the stairs as it is the first thing people will see inside the front door. I am going to chance the 211 tip then, I have everything already prepped and primed so I have to keep going with it now anyway! 😅 I'll keep your suggestion in mind though for the Graco tip guard if I have any more fine finish projects come up it might be worth getting then, thank you for that. I'll keep you posted on how I get on, thanks a million, Raine 🙂
I see that you used a secondary strainer. Is this necessary since the quick shot has a built in filter? What should I search for in the US for an equivalent floor protector?
He didn't pickup on it, but I learned the little filter in the bottom of the cup can clog up quick with unseen thick bits from the can. Some people used nylon stockings, but the mesh bags like he used work really well. I just ordered some metal strainers off Amazon for the same purpose - but they'll add more cleanup time. Jim
Great video Pete, really inspiring. Every job is different i know but do you always first consider the order of things to spray to make it as easy and quickly as possible? I only ask because in my mind on this job I would have sprayed the stairs and handrail first, covered them, then the doors, covered them, the walls, covered them and then the ceiling last. That way everything would be covered with the sprayer, or have i got it wrong? (you definitely have more experience than me btw so I'm not being critical!)
Hi Kevin, thank you buddy 🙏 ..No I appreciate your thoughts.. you’re right I do think of the order in advance for speed and efficiency.. there’s always a couple of approaches and completing the staircase joinery first and wrapping up is equally feasible.. I always do the bannister first in these scenarios and wrap them - I had to prep and stain, then spray 5 coats of clear lacquer 👍 ..I think on this one I was completing a lot of work in the hallway too, taking doors off and carrying up out the way to spray on the landing 😄 ..but you’re right, I then do all the walls and spray the ceilings in last - the ceilings is the easiest bit.. all relatively small on HSL’s, easy to mask Vs ladders etc needed for cutting in ..always great to hear from you buddy and get your input 🙏
That’s a very good question.. Sometimes I do spray the walls - my choice not to and brush / roller, is usually if it’s an occupied house and access is required (in this example it was a HSL) - basically to spray the walls, the masking blocks access to a lot of rooms.. but yeah. I do like to spray the walls, I like a complete sprayed project.. I always spray the woodwork and ceilings on every job 👍 thanks for your question my friend, keep in touch 💙💯 Regards Pete
Wish i could spray at 900 I dont know what im doing wrong. Ive used FFLP208 and 210. If my pressure is under 1500 i get tails on my spray fan. How the heck can i use 900 pressure, also that doesnt even take me out of the prime zone on the pressure controller (Graco gx21)
What audio service are you using for your editing. Sounds like you’re using a lot of cinematic themes. Just purchased the Final Cut Pro and thinking about about artist. I’m a better painter than a creator but need to start learning the editing part.
@@PaintHQnot just a gimmick then like it seems the ultra handheld was/is. Seeing reviews of this being prone to a slight leak in a certain same area, where I don't recall
ปีที่แล้ว +2
Why not do the ceiling first? It would save you the time from masking the walls. Great video though, well made.
Hate seeing people tilt the gun as they are moving up and down...the spray gun has to be parallel to the surface the whole time! Tilting in itself will cause over spray as your pointing the gun towards the floor or ceiling!
I agree 100%. I used to spray cars and moving your wrist and the end and start of the stroke is a must and the same should be done when spraying doors and trim. Small things lead to big results.
When you're performing for the camera and actually on jobs you'll see a massive difference in quality. Let's see this dude on a jobsite on Friday after 50 hours sanding trim. 😂 TH-cam isn't real life folks.

Hello pete great video
I have a tritech i use on new builds for walls and ceilings. But want a unit to spray oil on doors and frames what would be better. Quickshot or a GX21
Hey buddy.. if working on new builds, day in day out, with multiple doors - I wouldn’t use the QuickShot, it would get overworked.. a Cordless GXFF could be handy (free of power cords and power restrictions), or a 390 Cordless (plus hopper kit) for a pump with a bit more ‘guts’.. all the best my friend, let me know how you get on.. regards Pete
What about the fleece masking roll used ? Stahlwerk cover fleece ?
This is the one my friend..

..Hope this helps.. regards Pete
Do those kip products go on the tape masker pro???
Hi Pete, hope you're well. I'm just binge watching your videos 🤣 could you tell me what whip hose you use and where I can get one please.
Keep up the good work "let us spray"🙏 😎
Good morning sir, apologies for my delayed reply.. it’s a 1/8” 1.4m Graco whip hose.. here’s the link my friend 👍

Hi thanks for the video ❤ please. Could you explain which filters to use? I'm going to be using bin bulls eye 123 primer. Then farrow and ball dead flat matt as top coat. On some wardrobes. Just a bit unsure about filters. Never sprayed before
Thanks for watching 🙏 Sure, happy to help my friend.. Use the blue / 100 mesh filter(s) 👍 Keep in touch, would love to hear how you get on.. welcome to the wonderful world of spraying.. regards Pete
@@PaintHQ thanks for replying I appreciate it Pete. I'll let you know how I get on👍 is the black filter more for wall and ceiling emulsions?
@bunabuna9287 Yes you’re spot on, the black 60 mesh is for thicker materials, such as emulsion 👍😄
Great video and production 👍
Quick question? Do you find using the srayer using more paint? For example how much paint did you use overall to spray the stair case?
Thanks
Ty.
Another great video Pete! 👏🏼 Used the 108 tip size much?
Hey Josh, thank you very much 🙏 ..108 or 106 ?.. reason I check is the 108 is pretty tough to use with the low viscosity paints I spray.. you have to move super quick 😩.. whereas the new 106, you gain so much more control because if it’s reduced flow.. yeah the 106 is great, perfect for spindles 👍 ..regards Pete
Can you please provide a link for the plastic backed fleece?
Sure m, here you go buddy..

Seven months since this video, would you still recommend the Quick-shot? I have a Titan 440 Impact that works very well, but I'm considering this unit for it's portability and short hose. Also can the quickshot be used with an extension for ceiling spraying?
Great question.. yeah seven months, time flies.. I can honestly say without doubt, the UQS has helped me complete, either small projects (such as small bathroom ceilings, feature walls, cupboard spaces) - or small parts of bigger projects, for example yesterday I sprayed in an internal door, a door frame and a small run of trim 👍 ..it’s the ability to get setup with a small quantity of paint, spray the job and clean up - quickly with very minimal waste 👍 a great compliment to the bigger pumps, where it’s a bit much to setup, just to spray less then a litre (32oz).. it’s so quick to flush a primer and then get on with the topcoat 👍 go for it, you won’t regret it.. regards Pete 💙💯
@@PaintHQ Glad to hear you still like it, shall I assume you don't recommend it for ceilings with an extension??
@mojosdad68 Ah sorry I didn’t answer that part.. You can use extensions, it’s a standard 7/8” fitting - spits are a little less because of the electronic gun and quick needle 👍 but they’re still there due to lower pressure paint in the extension, after the needle shut off 👍 ..I’ve got a couple more videos on the QuickShot, it’s a great small project airless sprayer 👏👏👏 regards Pete
Would a 206 tip be ok for spraying diamond eggshell on units etc? I’m currently using a 310 or 410 but seems like the paint is coming out quite thick still? Thanks
Hello my friend.. because the product is thixotropic (can also be brush / rolled), I don’t feel it will go through a .006 orifice - typical a .006 is for very low viscosity / free flowing / spray only 👍 ..I would usually say a .010, but with you saying a 310 / 410 the flow is fast / sounds like a heavy coat.. you could try a 308, typically for low viscosity, but very often sprays slightly thicker (brush / roller) products 👍 ..or move quicker with the 310 / 410 tip (and double check you’re nut too close - aim for approx 12” away from surface 👍 hope this helps my friend.. keep in touch.. regards Pete 💙💯
can you recommend a good paint strainer? my gun keeps blocking
Hello my friend.. I tend to use the Trimaco paint strainer bags - you can wash them out easily and reuse (if using WB paints).. Or fruit / veg bags, readily available in UK supermarkets (fruit and veg isle) in Aldi, Lidl, Asda 👍 However, paint quality and ‘sprayability’ of paint plays a big part - heavy / course pigments can cause smaller orifice tips to block 👍 Hope this helps 🙏 Keep in touch.. regards Pete
Thanks Pete. Awesome info as always. I’m the sprayer I am today because of your valuable content. Enjoy the coffee! Do you know by any chance why my cordless ultra max either doesn’t prime or sprays when I’m priming? Hoping it’s not the pump😟
Hey Jonny, thank you for your kind words my friend.. Regarding the UltraMax, can you prime and spray water.. with water in the cup, tip guard removed - turn the sprayer upside down, prime, then spray (still upside down).. does water spray ?
@@PaintHQ hi Pete thanks for the reply. Yes water sprays fine when it’s upside down but on prime it still sprays
Respect ,super !)
Thank you my friend, you’re so kind 💙
Hi Pete,
Very interesting to see you use the plastic-backed fleece. I’ve been using thick paper (for hard floors) and film over carpet. The paper is a pain as it needs to be largely cut to size so I think I’ll give the fleece a go. Could you please post a link to a supplier?
Hope you’re keeping well. With best wishes, Rob
Hey Rob.. sure my friend, this is the fleece I purchase via Amazon..
amzn.eu/d/b0MkWLJ
Many thanks - Thanks also for listing Next Day Paint, I'd not come across them before. Rob
@amanfriday3141 You’re very welcome, anytime.. always feel free to reach out if you have any questions 🙏
Can you use stain and clear waterproof sealants ?
Sure can my friend.. the hand rail in this video was finished with a dark oak stain and clear lacquer 👌 all the best my friend.. regards Pete
Have you used the Graco ultra handheld? If so, do you like the new Quickshot better than the ultra handheld. I have two of the ultra handheld and abused them for seven years now. I have some of the other Graco larger machines like the 490 and use it all the time for spraying ceilings. I spray a lot of doors and a lot of trim and I’m getting into kitchen cabinets spraying and thinking the quick shot might be better for kitchen cabinets. What do you think? I enjoy your channel.
Hey Brian, thank you for watching the PaintHQ channel and sharing your experience too.. you’ve got a great setup with smaller HH’s complimenting your bigger Graco pump - you sound a very wise sprayer my friend 👏👏 Yes I’ve long been a fan of the Graco HH technology and showcased the Ultra and UltraMax units on here 💙 In short, yes I prefer the Ultra QuickShot - I’m sure that’s perhaps easy to say, but to explain - it’s the hopper style feed I like, short hose, it really takes very little to prime and get spraying.. I’m confident I’ve even saved money on less materiel waste 👍 then of course the electronic gun - quick trigger and needle shutoff, no spits and it so easy to manoeuvre into tight areas - perfect for kitchen spraying (again like you, not to replace the bigger pumps).. keep in touch my friend, it’ll be great to hear your thoughts in future 🙏 regards Pete 💙💯
Top work as always bro , keep the videos coming many thanks
Thank you so much, appreciate the support 💙
What mask and filters do you use? Thanks
Thanks for your question my friend.. I use a 3M Respirator, the model is 6502QL - it’s replaceable filters offer A2P3 protection 👍 regards Pete
How has the graco held up for you?
Hi Pete. Great video. What Masking tape do you use for Masking walls before you spray ceilings. And why you have chosen that particular tape?
Thanks
Good question my friend.. I use this low tack washi by Kip
nextdaypaint.co.uk/products/kip-premium-low-tack-washi-tec-masking-tape-209
I choose Kip for the quality and reliable first time results.. the purple sensitive tape in particular has enough tack so the masking is not falling down, but the performance isn’t compromised.. I also like the colour, it’s important to be able to see the sharp ceiling cut line you’re wanting to mask 👍 ..Keep in touch my friend, great to get your input.. regards Pete
Thank you for your reply. I use lots of tapes and like to experiment with new products etc. But still looking for "The One" 😀
Haha I know what you’re saying.. Kip has some big credentials, it’s part of the Shurtape family.. which includes FrogTape 👍
Thanks
Thank you Jonny.. Very much appreciated my friend 🙏
Hi pete , i got a quick shot today and when i got it home put water in it to see what like to spray and kept dripping water snd spray tip and guard on tight 🤷🏽♂️ did you ever come across that or heard that bro ??
Hi Niall.. Great news investing in the QuickShot my friend 🙏 I’m going to reach out for some advise on this, I’ll report back very soon 👍
@@PaintHQ Thankyou kindly Pete i really appreciate that
Kind regards Niall
@niall1437 Hi Niall, it shouldn’t behave that way with paint going through the unit / gun.. So I’m quietly confident to reassure that your new UQS is not defective 👍 Basically that was my first thought, I wanted to get confirmation before passing onto you 😄 let me know how you get on completing projects with your new Ultra QuickShot 💙💯 regards Pete
@@PaintHQ Afternoon buddy, I was thinking that could be it , Ive job in couple of weeks,when i be using it so let you know enjoy rest your week Pete 😊👍
@@PaintHQ Thankyou kindly Pete for your message appreciate it 👍
I take off my doors when I spray them.
I never leave in situe as I use my spray room for painting the doors
Thank you for sharing your experience my friend 🙏 regards Pete 💙💯
Do you add 20% water to shellac? New here looking to start using quick shot
No my friend.. if using a shellac and you’re wanting to thin, you would use methylated spirit / denatured alcohol (not water).. hope this helps my friend - happy to help if I can, anytime.. regards Pete 💙💯
@@PaintHQhelped more than you’ll ever know. Used a 308 to prime trim and walls just now and it worked great
@joeltapia777 🙏💙💯
Hi Pete, can you help please? Apologies I see you’ve moved to Graco products but I have the Wagner 150M. I’ve watched your other videos to find an answer but as a DIYer it gets a bit confusing! I want to spray my wooden staircase spindles and handrail.(the spindles a 40mm x 40mm thick) I will be using a water based fleetwood paint, satin finish. Although I can’t control the pressure, can I use any of the ‘smaller’ tips with this model? Or which tip would you advise that might work the best? Might the 211 work or would there still be too much overspray? The tips a quite expensive here so just wanted to ask before I go out and buy and want to try use the sprayer since I’ve already spent the money on that too! 😅 (I used it for my kitchen cabinets with already and loved the finished result!) Thank you 🙏
Sure no problem, happy to help if I can 👍 I’m thinking the 211 tip that you have could well work, I’d be reluctant to suggest you buying something additional, only to be disappointed.. I’m not familiar with the Fleetwood brand, but did give it a quick google.. are you in Ireland?.. anyhow, I’d guess Fleetwood can also be brushed / rolled, so could well suit the .011 tip .. then it’s a 4” fan, so like the 206 I’m using, your overspray will be minimal, going around 40mm spindles.. what tip did you use with the kitchen cabinets?.. well done by the way, sounds like you had success.. To quickly explain other options - you could swap out the standard 7/8” tip guard for e a Graco RAC X tip guard and use day a FFLP 210 for the fine finish / low pressure ..I wouldn’t recommend a 206 like I’m using with the lack of a pressure control (I wouldn’t be sure it would work).. a 210 ‘should’ work, but I couldn’t justify suggesting you spend the additional money, like you say costly where you are.. so yeah go for the 211 👍 you’ve got nothing to loose 🙏 ..always happy to help if I can my friend.. regards Pete
@PaintHQ Hi Pete, thank you so much for the helpful advice. Yes, I am in Ireland, Fleetwood is like our version of Dulux I guess! I used the 311 tip for the cabinets with a F&B estate eggshell paint- it gave a really smooth and clean finish, much better than expected for my first time spraying and so satisfying to not have any brush strokes. Hoping I can get a similar result on the stairs as it is the first thing people will see inside the front door. I am going to chance the 211 tip then, I have everything already prepped and primed so I have to keep going with it now anyway! 😅 I'll keep your suggestion in mind though for the Graco tip guard if I have any more fine finish projects come up it might be worth getting then, thank you for that. I'll keep you posted on how I get on, thanks a million, Raine 🙂
I see that you used a secondary strainer. Is this necessary since the quick shot has a built in filter?
What should I search for in the US for an equivalent floor protector?
He didn't pickup on it, but I learned the little filter in the bottom of the cup can clog up quick with unseen thick bits from the can. Some people used nylon stockings, but the mesh bags like he used work really well. I just ordered some metal strainers off Amazon for the same purpose - but they'll add more cleanup time. Jim
Great video Pete, really inspiring. Every job is different i know but do you always first consider the order of things to spray to make it as easy and quickly as possible? I only ask because in my mind on this job I would have sprayed the stairs and handrail first, covered them, then the doors, covered them, the walls, covered them and then the ceiling last. That way everything would be covered with the sprayer, or have i got it wrong? (you definitely have more experience than me btw so I'm not being critical!)
Hi Kevin, thank you buddy 🙏 ..No I appreciate your thoughts.. you’re right I do think of the order in advance for speed and efficiency.. there’s always a couple of approaches and completing the staircase joinery first and wrapping up is equally feasible.. I always do the bannister first in these scenarios and wrap them - I had to prep and stain, then spray 5 coats of clear lacquer 👍 ..I think on this one I was completing a lot of work in the hallway too, taking doors off and carrying up out the way to spray on the landing 😄 ..but you’re right, I then do all the walls and spray the ceilings in last - the ceilings is the easiest bit.. all relatively small on HSL’s, easy to mask Vs ladders etc needed for cutting in ..always great to hear from you buddy and get your input 🙏
Why do you spray everything except the walls? And the walls you brush and roll
That’s a very good question.. Sometimes I do spray the walls - my choice not to and brush / roller, is usually if it’s an occupied house and access is required (in this example it was a HSL) - basically to spray the walls, the masking blocks access to a lot of rooms.. but yeah. I do like to spray the walls, I like a complete sprayed project.. I always spray the woodwork and ceilings on every job 👍 thanks for your question my friend, keep in touch 💙💯 Regards Pete
Wish i could spray at 900 I dont know what im doing wrong. Ive used FFLP208 and 210. If my pressure is under 1500 i get tails on my spray fan. How the heck can i use 900 pressure, also that doesnt even take me out of the prime zone on the pressure controller (Graco gx21)
What audio service are you using for your editing. Sounds like you’re using a lot of cinematic themes. Just purchased the Final Cut Pro and thinking about about artist. I’m a better painter than a creator but need to start learning the editing part.
So how is it 6 months on
I can say without question, it’s helped and paid for itself many times over 👏👏👏💙💙💙
@@PaintHQnot just a gimmick then like it seems the ultra handheld was/is. Seeing reviews of this being prone to a slight leak in a certain same area, where I don't recall
Why not do the ceiling first? It would save you the time from masking the walls. Great video though, well made.
Thanks for your input my friend 🙏 regards Pete
I'd spray the ceiling first saves you taping the walls
Thanks for sharing your process my friend 🙏 ..regards Pete
By the time you masked that up, Id have two coats on by brush, clean up and be at the pub.
Thanks for the feedback my friend 🙏 ..Would the finish be equal to a cabinet finish that you get with spray application 🤔
Hate seeing people tilt the gun as they are moving up and down...the spray gun has to be parallel to the surface the whole time! Tilting in itself will cause over spray as your pointing the gun towards the floor or ceiling!
Thanks for your input my friend 🙏💙💯
I agree 100%. I used to spray cars and moving your wrist and the end and start of the stroke is a must and the same should be done when spraying doors and trim. Small things lead to big results.
Good info will try
I can't find out why some painters flick their wrist at the end before switching directions.
When you're performing for the camera and actually on jobs you'll see a massive difference in quality.
Let's see this dude on a jobsite on Friday after 50 hours sanding trim.
😂
TH-cam isn't real life folks.
Good thank you 😀
💙💯
Next time paint ceiling first!
🙏💙💯
looks like you use a crap load of the kip plastic and tape
Kip 💯 ..do you spray or brush / roll - How do you protect the job site my friend?
