I had a lot of fun trying this sprayer. It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. I can't wait for my tent to get here so I can paint something else. 😂
Хорошо получилось 👍👍👍! Очень хорошо когда девушки умеют что-то делать своими руками👍👍! Я вот тоже переделал и покрасил мебель , если интересно th-cam.com/video/3Cib0OO2dnQ/w-d-xo.html
Hi. Great video. I actually bought one of these this weekend. I as curious if you found u were saving paint by spraying or if there was more waste? Thanks.
Thank you. I had looked at few bad reviews and was noticing they didn't show the actual work in progress. Your video was instructive and confirmed my suspicion the bad reviews were not following instructions.
I just bought the Flexio 5000. I think the gun would be lighter because the air turbine is in the case and not the handle. I used it for the first time on shutters and loved it. Now I cant wait to do a china hutch with the chalk paint! Love watching your videos!
Thank you for the video. It’s informative as it should be, and also inspires me to repaint the damn dining table I’ve been planning on in the last 3 years.
I Chalk Painted a 1952 Child’s School Desk By Brush took me from start to finish roughly around 2 hours and that was with the desk already prepped from a while back.
Beautiful results. Maybe, someday I will be able to afford this sprayer. Believe this is the third demo I have watched and results have all been good. Thanks
Wow, that's such a huge time difference! Thank you for featuring the Wagner FLEXiO 3000. We love the flawless finish on the chairs, plus the distressing and upholstery work is amazing!
I'm 10 but 11 in in February can kids use this to if my mom says yes But sometimes I like to blend but this would be super cool and I get mad sometimes because I don't want the lines on my furniture from painting have a nice day
@Drills N shills We'd be happy to assist you with your sprayer! Depending on which Wagner sprayer you have, adjustments can be made to reduce overspray. Please call us at 1-800-328-8251 and we can offer tips/tricks.
Thank you Christina for sharing this video with all your followers... I hope one day I will remodel our chairs for the dining table and the sprayer is a toy😃that I wanted for a long time so definitely I will get one to play with it... thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills I just subscribed to your channel see you in the next project..Gracias!!
6" away and smooth long spraying techniques is for your best jobs . Have this sprayer too and it impressed me for small to medium sized jobs 👍 definitely recommended this sprayer for rookie painters as well as for pros for easy quick jobs .
Every time I paint furniture I think about getting a paint sprayer but have never been sure about how it would actually work out on something small. Now I KNOW I need one!
THANK YOU!!!!! I am new to painting. I've only done a couple of wooden captains chairs, a small cabinet, and small table. Great for farmhouse look but I don't always want to distress or see brush strokes. I have been wondering about an inexpensive sprayer to begin with. I will be investing in one of these. THANK YOU🌻 LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND PAINTED💝 PEICES!
I just bought this today! I’m a painter too. Suddenly I’ve had so many requests to paint from family soooo was looking for another way to get more done and smoother finishing. I haven’t tried it yet was just reviewing online TH-cam before I began. You’re video helped my confidence in stepping into the unknown! I’m a first time sprayer too! Hopefully will have the same success as you😃
just found your channel. and while mine is more about cars and garage type projects, I still love to do interior projects like you do on here. I'm going to take some of the tricks you have used to hopefully make our house a home. love the videos!
@@ChristinaMuscari I bought this sprayer a month ago. I'm really impressed with it. First job was painting twelve meters of metal railings. Flew through the job in two and a half hours, which was super quick. I wasn't lucky enough to be sponsored by Wagner, you struck gold when they gave you this outfit.
I just purchased this paint sprayer because I had seen a lady use it. I have not used it yet and I am so grateful to you for doing this video. I now feel that I can use it without being so fearful.
Put mask on when you paint- you’re going to want those lungs when you get older. I also wear safety glasses, and rubber gloves for adding paint and clean-up 👍
Hey at least it’s not toxic paint like when I sprayed vehicles. I got out of that trade immediately after I got my license. Killer in the lungs even walking through a body shop. This is a joke water based comparatively but ya a respirator can’t hurt.
Nicely done. i just bought some chalk brushes online but after seeing the sprayer, it seems like the way to go. You did a nice job on the chairs and know what you are doing.
I have been hesitant about getting a paint gun. However, your video just convinced me to get one. A very enticing demonstration. You have a very smooth way of explaining things. Keep up the excellent work. I love the look on the chairs with the sprayer.
Hi! I casually started looking at how to paint furniture recently as we want to refurnish our bedroom set. Your videos have inspire us to do it ourselves and this one in particular shows what appears to be an easier and less time consuming way. With that being said I have a question for you: have you tried the Dixie Bell paints with this paint spryer? If so, how much did you diluted them?
I just went out tonight to put up my large Wagner paint tent. I have been painting chairs by hand and it’s taking forever. I also have a new mask for safety! So I have quite a few items to paint - tomorrow because it got too dark on me. I have only used my sprayer once before. I wasn’t very good at it so practice makes perfect, right? I have an electric Rexbeti model REX004. I’m not sure why I didn’t by the Wagner, unless it’s compression only. I only have a 3 gallon compressor. Thanks Christina. I’ll be watching again tomorrow as I’m painting.
I got a sprayer and have watched many videos on using a sprayer with chalk paint. Most of the videos recommend thinning the paint with lots of water; two parts paint to one part water. I tried this but the paint was really runny... Thoughts?
Love the chairs and especially how you saved them from the landfill. Did you think about adding a little padding to the chairs? It gives it a little more lush look.
Wow those turned out great. What is your honest opinion as far as the finish that the sprayer gave you? Is it smooth like a factory finish or do you see any texture/orange peel? I am working on a project around my home...replacing all of the door casings and baseboards. I've been using a small mohair roller and have gotten decent results on the interior doors and the wide baseboard that I am prepainting but things are not going so well on the new door casing and I feel the only work around is investing in a sprayer. I have tried a sprayer once before and had a horrible experience. I spit paint all over and I had a hot mess on my hands. Thank you.
I just wanted to add that i bought this same sprayer. Its awesome. One other tip is that if it stops spraying theres a pin hole on the tube near the top that goes in the cup if that's plugged it also wont spray.
Great vid & love your channel. Lovely to see the results are so smooth & see it real time. Loooove it! QUESTION 1: How long do you expect the Chalk paint to hold up with daily usage? I'm thinking of spray painting our dark varnished/stained dining room furniture - however I'm concerned the paint will need to be re-applied within a year or 2. QUESTION 2: Would A.S or the Dixie work better for a sprayed smooth finish, as I like that finish best. 😌😍 ps; yup that spray tent is a must - will be purchasing that. Stay safe. Look fwd to the next one.
I think DB would be better sprayed and smooth. I have furniture in my house that has held up for 6 years. Some of it could use some touch ups, but it still looks great.❤️
I foolishly bought an ornate table, six chairs and a huge two piece china hutch. I plan to put tall legs on the top of the hutch and sell them as two separate pieces. I have already purchased Melange paint and would really like to buy a sprayer. Do you still recommend the Wagnor 3000 and light distressing of white furniture or have I missed that trend? I am definitely going creamy white; it is the distressing I’m not sure about. Maybe a darker wax to emphasize carving details? Any advice you may have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and wonderful videos.
Been on the fence about getting a paint sprayer - thinning paint is not my cup of tea. After watching how easy you made it look, I’ll need to get a paint sprayer to redo all my bar stools and then my whole house . Love the end results and those floors, too! Real wood or wood looking tiles? Please, protect your lungs and beautiful eyes on future videos! Kudos!
I have one of the sprayer tents and love it! Also, you want to be wearing a respirator mask. A real one not just a face mask. It's incredibly important you do.
Have you tried polycrylic or polyurethane with the Wagner sprayer? I can’t get a smooth finish on my table with a brush and have the Wagner 3000 but nervous to use it for the first time with poly.
yeah, it only uses 2x the paint as a brush does and forces you to use plastics to mask off your other surfaces. let nature deal with the excess pollutants, thats what nature is for and we can just keep being the fancy humans that we are
Mr Dave I actually use less paint when I spray. It applies thinner, more consistent coats than brushing. I also only use plastic to take off drawers and I try to use that plastic for more than one project. I’ve made a living saving furniture from the side of the road and the dumps and use mostly eco friendly products in my refinishing process. Of course it’s not perfect but it’s definitely not worth being nasty over.
@@salvagedbykscott There is an established hierarchy for waste management known as the 4 R's - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Recover. Everything should be done in that order. I agree your actions of using a bit more paint is by far the better environmental decision than scrapping the used furniture. You already are ahead - Reducing the need for new furniture, and Reusing the furniture that you salvaged. I am sure Mr. Dave is always making the more environmental choices in his life - like walking to the store for milk instead of driving, but we can't all be like him.
I just bought my Wagner Flexio 3000, I have been watching several different videos to get tips and techniques before I bite off a big project and paint a bedroom. Your video was the best so far, excellent detail and kept my short attention span!! Thanks :-)

Does it also work for oil base paint and if so how do you clean gun when finished with oil base paint.,?
We have a paint spayer and it’s by that company and we totally hate it now it’s just sitting in the shed wasting my money on over a $100 for that

Definitely need to get a sprayer!❤️
I bought this sprayer a couple weeks ago. Can’t wait to use it!!
Just bought the same paint gun and will be trying it on some end tables this evening. Thanks for the video!
When cleaning up after sanding, I like to use the swiffer dry cloth pads, the do a great job if cleaning off the dust.
Thank you for the video. It’s informative as it should be, and also inspires me to repaint the damn dining table I’ve been planning on in the last 3 years.
Lol.... I'm there too ✌🤞🤞✌
You have convinced me to purchase. After refinishing my kitchen table & buffet, I wanted to redo all my furniture. Perhaps now I will. Thank you 😊
Donna Assenza dnt paint your cabinets with chalk paint
You’ll regret I’m a professional painter with high end quality

I’ll keep this one in mind!
Love your demonstration! Like your explanation every time I had a question u answered it thx

I totally agree, Jack. I watched a lot of videos before jumping in. Great advice.
Got the sprayer...finish is sooo much better...thanks !!!!
Video molto istruttivo grazie a chi lo ha pubblicato 😍
I bought this sprayer because of you & this video!
How is the Wagner Flexio working for you?
After seeing this video I bought this sprayer and absolutely love it!!!
Great! It's pretty awesome.
Great video, I loved watching and learning from you. Keep up the good work!

Just jump in, Becky. I was scared, too, but it was fun. Practice on something from Goodwill or the thrift store. It takes some of the pressure off.
@@ChristinaMuscari I have an armoire that I purchased for $15.00 off of Facebook Marketplace which is going to be my first project.

You are so welcome!

Saw this video at 3 AM and was painting our studio with the Flexio 3000 by 3PM. Thanks for the demo!
Oh wow!
@@ChristinaMuscari Question. Do you have a video that covers how to avoid / fix dripping paint? Got a little trigger happy with my Flexio 3000. :/

Nicely done. i just bought some chalk brushes online but after seeing the sprayer, it seems like the way to go. You did a nice job on the chairs and know what you are doing.
Thank you!
You are the best Christina. I like all you do
Thanks so much!
Thank you, just bought a Wagner, it will save soo much time and i tend to be impatient so...
Awesome
''''You're the best teacher! Thank you so much
Definitely need this.
Oh THANKS , very helpful 😁
Thanks for a great instruction on a paint sprayer ;)
love that you paint in your Uggs. ;)
@Christina Muscari I just got this sprayer and it makes the job soooooo much easier. Thanks for this video!!
It does doesn't it?!?! You are so welcome!

Great Demo on the sprayer!
Thank you!
I'm ready for my first project, just got my Annie Sloan paint and brushes.
With the Wagner you painted everywhere. No paint spray booth = Brush, with paint booth = Wagner
Thanks for your effort Christina kindly arrange to show us how to use another paint type for raw wood painting non chalk painting
Good tips.
I got a sprayer and have watched many videos on using a sprayer with chalk paint. Most of the videos recommend thinning the paint with lots of water; two parts paint to one part water. I tried this but the paint was really runny... Thoughts?
So awesome ordered one
Hope you enjoy it!
Gotta have one of those sprayers and the tent too.
I got my tent! I can't wait to try it.
Thank you 😃😃😃
Love the chairs and especially how you saved them from the landfill. Did you think about adding a little padding to the chairs? It gives it a little more lush look.
Wow those turned out great. What is your honest opinion as far as the finish that the sprayer gave you? Is it smooth like a factory finish or do you see any texture/orange peel? I am working on a project around my home...replacing all of the door casings and baseboards.

Thank you! 😃
Christina Muscari: You are most welcome 🙏🏽!!! Be safe and blessed 👍!!!
Looks good but dd you have problems with drips?
Love your floors!! What are they?
I just wanted to add that i bought this same sprayer. Its awesome. One other tip is that if it stops spraying theres a pin hole on the tube near the top that goes in the cup if that's plugged it also wont spray.
Thanks for sharing!

Hi Christina! Thank you so much for making this video! Just wondering if you find you use more paint using the sprayer than hand brushing? Thanks 💛
I foolishly bought an ornate table, six chairs and a huge two piece china hutch. I plan to put tall legs on the top of the hutch and sell them as two separate pieces.

Great informative video. Do you think thinning the paint by 10% is a good idea?......or more.
Barry
Would you use this sprayer on a larger piece of furniture like a headboard and would you use the larger spray head instead of the detail one?
Include how long it takes to prepare the brush and the wagner, and then the clean up of the brush and the wagner
Love it!
Thanks!!
I have one of the sprayer tents and love it! Also, you want to be wearing a respirator mask. A real one not just a face mask. It's incredibly important you do.

Have you tried polycrylic or polyurethane with the Wagner sprayer? I can’t get a smooth finish on my table with a brush and have the Wagner 3000 but nervous to use it for the first time with poly.
What is the paint ratio usage though? I would think you would use more paint with the sprayer and waste that goes on the floor?
Spraying for the WIN! Just wait until you try it with some poly. I’ll NEVER brush again 😂
yeah, it only uses 2x the paint as a brush does and forces you to use plastics to mask off your other surfaces. let nature deal with the excess pollutants, thats what nature is for and we can just keep being the fancy humans that we are
