    You are the only Professional Painter I key up and watch on UA-cam, I just want to extend my gratitude and thank you for the amount of help you've given. Considering, as a 50yr old dude. I'm living in my grandparents parents home built in 1930. Your clear and informative instruction has been almost as good as scripture, meaning Top-Notch info, keep up the good work. Once again Thank you and GOD BLESS.

    As a lifelong painter and contractor my earliest experiences in the late 1960s were done primarily with pot and hose as airless was just coming in and the old timers I worked for were resistant to them. My years contracting in residential/comml were all airless. I was also in the era of oil base enamels and switching to the early water base products with their growing pains. Always enjoyed painting.

    I have a Graco X7. Can't go up to a 619. SO I bought a 517 going off your tip of a wider fan and more paint. What a difference between it and the 415 I had on the rough cedar siding. Didn't think it would be that noticeable. I went to painting myself after getting ripped off by the contractor that did our siding by thinning his paint and laying down just enough to change the color (paid for by insurance after a hail storm). The paint was thin enough that one pass with a 2300psi washer removed the entire coat, exposing the older color underneath. Talked to a contractor who told me some painters cheated on insurance jobs to maximize profits as he'd repainted houses that had been painted that way on an insurance claim. Made me wish you were here in Colorado. :)

    You're amazing and I watch you all the time, I've been painting 22 years now and always like to keep learning and you are the man, I use 310"s for trim work, I carry a 410 in my pocket and I switch it out when I get to my doors, that way I don't have to adjust my pressure cause it's the same orifice size so just switch it out, do my doors then can switch my#310 back in and continue with my millwork, if I'm using acrylics I make sure that I have a medium course gun filter so it can pass through and atomize properly, if I'm spraying lacquers I use a fine finish filter and use a fine finish tip . Another thing we'd do when doing car lot's on exteriors, Wed put in a bigger tip , turn down the pressure to where it's literally fingering and back roll, of course back rolling is a must, we'd just do it so there was no over spray, basically it was coming out like a garden hose. We also spray down to the Second to last board on lap siding on exteriors, basically cut in underneath the board with the gun so we don't have to mask off the foundation, just roll out the bottom board. Thank you so much for your pro tips and knowledge. Sincerely Lorenzo gig harbor WA.

      So the lower pressure just keeps over spray in the air down?

    • @allhartfidelity
      @allhartfidelity 3 роки тому

      @@oregonsdank thats part of it yes. They also fan off on the edges better for less hard lines. Less flash when we overlap higher sheen paints like whats going on with exterior paints in my region. They put out close to the same gpm as a standard tip though. They are not to be confused with a fine finish tip though.
      Graco, Titan, Tritech all also now have fine finish tips fflp (fine finish low pressure) that go WAY up in size. 6 21 in some cases. Not all fine finish are low pressure but many new ones are. Shooting a 3 story house thats 4 feet from another 3 story house, these low pressure tips are worth the weight in gold. I dont mask the neughbors house. I can also get my gun a lot closer to the wall.
      Small pumps can now run tips, and work half as hard. They literally extend the life of packings.
      I can mask less, which is less man hours. Run 12" paper on a dormer and haul ass.

  • @AzaB2C

    Super useful. Thanks! Consider including time indexed summary/notes.
    310 fine finish for doors. Or fences even if trying to limit overspray. 510 fine finish if lots of doors.
    515 for all exterior work. Brick. Some interior work.
    619 for high/fast production interior walls. Not for super smooth walls, risk of fingering/lapping.
    HEA for level 5 finish.

    I have a question about the colors of the tips. I'm gonna by an airless "Wagner control pro 250M" and in that package I'll get tip 517 and 311. What confuses me so much is that they are both the same color (green) so does that mean that the 311 is NOT for fine finish quality? Does it have to be both a lower number and another color to be fine finish? I really hope that someone can help me with this question before buying the spray gun. (I am not a professional- more of a DIY:er).

    can these airless sprayers shoot lacquer ? I am a cabinet installer but also build some custom items and have always used a cup gun to finish them, but it is terrible when trying to spray anything large. just very very difficult to avoid lap lines or too much overspray build up ahead of me, it blows too much air no matter how I set it up and the lacquer drys way too fast. anyway I want to switch to airless but not sure about spraying lacquer base with them? I can use water base for a lot of things but in some situations I just simply have to spray it in lacquer, particularly when they want a clear glassy finish on a wood counter top or something. I bought a greco x5 ,its a small sprayer but for my use it is perfect, I would be using the 310 tip for water base paints but just wondering if I can also spray lacquer oddly enough it does not say ANYWHERE in the manual one way or the other. what do professional painters use for spraying lacquer?

    I just use the 9 inch paper. If I need shorter I just cut the entire tube in half using a hacksaw.😊
