1 part water to 2 parts paint on water based paints is perfect for this sprayer .. have used it to paint 2 large homes with no problems at all ... Just clean it well
Just picked one up for $18 with a coupon to do house painting. I have a Wagner 2000 which works great, but started to sputter badly mid way though my project and I don't have time right now to fix it. I was hesitant to buy it since it was piston driven like the old piece of crap wagner sprayers that never worked. After thinning out the paint, I was really impressed how well it worked. Had zero issues painting multiple walls quickly and easily. Only complaints are that you get alot of overspray and the paint tank could be bigger.
Bought one and it worked great. The only things I didn't like was the lack of technical answers to questions. I used oil base lube for oil based paint and veg oil for water based paint! No problem with that so far. I used the extension as it kept me and the gun further away from the overspray, back spraying, and didn't have to clean up as much on me or the gun. Wished the pickup tube was able to follow the paint when gun is angled with a nearly empty cup. Basically for what it is, an inexpensive paint sprayer, a very good gun.
J C I would see no problem with spraying a catalyzed lacquer. I have not sprayed lacquer but would think that the smallest tip would work OK. I am sure the large tip would spray noticeable droplets since it almost does that with latex.
That 6" Black line is the"flex" attachment. Supposedly for ceilings my friend. However...i couldnt get it to work at all. I mean not a drop of paint once it was attached.
Did you remove the spay nozzle and inspect the opening of the extension tube and nozzle or use one of the other nozzles? Or did you get it to function?
@@magicone9327 no sir, no function, and it was brand new so i wasnt thinkin id need to check for obstructions. In my defense itwas hott as hell outside and itwas work for family. So qggravating
These Chinese made items are not cleaned from much of the manufacturing process so it doesn't take much to plug off a spray tip. Plastic shaving from the milling of a part that covered the spray nozzle is very conceivable.
At the time I bought the Krause Becker Sprayer from Harbor Freight, I had a coupon. That was a few years ago, I'm sure they've went up. I think if you're a member of their buyers club, you get good discounts also.
Did not like its performance when painting on the flat, like in this video, if the gun isn't 90° to the surface it loads heavier nearest the gun. All in all it didn't do to bad.
Actually, it's called 'Sackcloth', which is kind a light tan/beige color. But yeah, it's kinda hard to see in the video. I'll wait until someone wants Midnight black cabinets before I make another one ;)

Thanks for the tip on using this Krause Becker Sprayer! I'll try it out the next time I paint with it.
What did you clean it with?
@@mstamekab1701 hot soapy water

It still amazes me that this Krause Becker sprayer works as well as it does. Mine is still going strong!
I painted my wood fence and house with it. Worked great for 20 bucks
I have one exterior wall that needs painted and I'm going to use this bad boy to do it with! Thanks for the comment!

Would this work with pre catalyzed lacquer? And what size tip to use? Thanks.

Wouldn't of guessed it, always wondered about the airless sprayer from HF
Me too. So when I saw they had it on sale for $14.99, I grabbed one to try out. I think it will be great for staining wood.
The long piece is for when u paint the ceiling
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind if I ever paint a ceiling with it!

Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep that in mind if I ever have any overhead painting jobs!

@@BlueCollarDIY Yeah I don't buy too much stuff from them I bought one and it's a piece of garbage I'm bringing it back back to them tomorrow
My paint cup leaks like the gasket is too thin. Can you get parts?

True. In later use, I started hanging the doors or whatever I was painting.
What oil do I get ?
I use light machine oil. 3 in 1 should work.
Says it’s an extendable nozzle to spray ceiling or high places you can’t quite reach good
Is there a lot of over spray?
There is some, but I couldn't tell there was any more than with other sprayers I had used.
It’s for an extension to do like ceilings
Thanks for the info!
I believe longer pieces is for longer distance
that long nozzle is actually for tight to reach spaces.
Thanks for the heads up on that nozzle!
Directions said for the ceiling
Looking at it for 30.00 but still good deal. No compressor needed.
Yes it is. Check your local paper for Harbor Freight coupons.
Apparently HF not doing coupons anymore
White on white cant see it bud

Nope absolutely not!
Worked like shit lol 😂
Stay tuned, I'm about to try and paint the inside of a 2300sf home with the Krause Becker Sprayer from Harbor Freight!
