- Bosch PFS 3000-2
Main Benefits
• Allows one to paint from the top of a tall ladder without specialist equipment.
• Allows better coverage per coat than roller brushes. Less coats needed than with roller brushes.
• Requires less effort than painting with a full size single-hand roller brush.
• On maximum setting it can put down a lot of paint per stroke with a broader fan than that seen in the video if the circumstances allow. However care must be taken with the overspray and splashback. In the video I use the small nozzle, minimum paint flow and low air volume to maximise control and minimise splashback. On a plain wall with no overspray issues I could have taken far less time per square metre by using the large nozzle, maximum paint flow and high air volume.
• Robust and good quality product.
Points of Caution
• Care must be taken with overspray. Any paint that misses the target flies a long way. Wind can pick up droplets and splashback and deposit them even further away and in unexpected random locations.
• Cars and objects of value must be moved a long way away from the target or be covered.
• Paint consistency and application technique matter. A bit of trial and error will be required, specially with masonry paint which the instructions specifically say it is not suitable for (however as my video shows, if you dilute the paint to the right consistency then no problem).
• It is better to do the detail first with brushes or rollers and then spray the large areas in between.
• Whilst the paint reservoir’s plastic is not affected by solvents, the foam gasket used between the reservoir and its red lid is, so be careful. The gasket is necessary so that air pressure can push paint up into the nozzle. A few replacement gaskets are supplied.
Bad Points
• None - the Bosch PFS 3000-2 is a robust and good quality product with a defined range of uses. I chose to use it outside this range for my two videos. I am confident that it will work perfectly well indoors with the appropriate paint and paint consistency. - Навчання та стиль
That was a real review, thank you for your time and for sharing your experience with us
I am glad to have been of some help to you. One day I will use the PFS 3000 the way it was intended to be used :)
Thanks for the honest review. Cheers! 👍🏼
You are welcome. I think it is a well made product but my circumstances are such that I am unable to showcase it on the type of job it was designed for: i.e. carefree large surface blasting where you don't have to worry about coarse overspray landing 6 feet or more from the target. I look forward to the day when I can use it as intended.
Ive used this sprayer on pebble dash using exterior masonry paint with no issue and no dilution. I would highly recommend as it likely cut the time in half and the finish product was better.
Thank you 4 making this video, i think i will get on 4 me to, i will paint my basement whit thick Whitewashing, it have a rough surface and with the brush is a pain in the as...
I am glad to have been of help. Since you won't be worrying about getting paint on your neighbours' property like I was, you can use the coarse nozzle and the high air flow to get the job done much quicker than me.
Why was all that not covered with foil?
Foil? Do you mean protective plastic film or paper?
I bought one second-hand the other day, mainly for varnishing woodwork, and maybe the smaller model would've worked better for that, but I'm also hoping to use it when I do some painting on the inside of my house before selling it. But I'll be sure to get ALL my stuff out of there and cover up the carpets before I start up the spray gun!
As you've said, the over-spray is horrendous - but I guess that is the nature of the spray gun beast! - especially with the smaller objects that I'm using it for at the moment, but you didn't mention in your first review if you were pulling the trigger in all the way or not. I presume you were using the no 1 setting, but did you pull the trigger up to the stop on that setting or did you just feather it so that it was JUST spraying? That's something that I haven't seen mentioned either in the manual or in English reviews - there seem to be more reviews in Slavic and other languages than English and I wouldn't know about them, obviously - but which I think is rather important to prevent too much spray medium from ending up on your object being sprayed at one time, causing running. I think you should've let your model plane's wings dry after the first or second pass and given it another coat, btw! :-)
I was using masonry paint which the instructions say specifically should not be used, so I doubt very much that I would have restricted the trigger. The paint was so thick even diluted as far as I dared that nothing would have got through the nozzle.
As for the primer on the model, don't use solvent based paints with this spray gun. The gun and container can handle thinners it but the foam seal that allows allows air pressure to push the paint up the syphon can't, and only five spare seals are included with the gun.
Why didn’t you cover stuff
Up?
It is boring
Ignorance and lazyness
I'm going to paint new inner walls with water based white Emulsion paint ,what is the ratio of mixing paint with water to thin to use in this particular spray gun ? Please advice.
S simba I have only used the sprayer twice with very different materials and only with the small nozzle and low air volume. I suggest you run a few tests with the nozzle and air volume you wish to use.
I wish I had diluted the paint more in this video. Keep diluting the paint in the container until you get the result you want. Pay attention to the distance from the target, the side to side sweep speed and the overlap between passes. I don't always get this right in this video.
I suggest you just experiment until you get it right.
Paints have to dilute usually no more than 5-10%. More than this may the characteristics of paint get lower than qualifications.
I really suffered watching this video
For Wall paint use Second speed
I suspect the best setting would be to have the large nozzle on and everything on max and wide open, but overspray is brutal and I could not afford to have overspray go into my neighbour's properties. I live in a terraced town house.
thank you bro
You are welcome!
does make the paint a lot of spots?
It probably mix it with a little bit of wather
I put quite a lot of water in, but it is thick masonry paint I am spraying , and the instructions state that the PFS 3000 should not be used for masonry paint. Now I know why.
Le agregué bastante agua pero la pintura es para mampostería y las instrucciones dicen que no se debería usar el PFS 3000 con pintura para mampostería. Ahora sé por qué.
Bosch PFS 3000 not enough for exterior masonry paint
Sir thanks for the review but spray machines are the best u dont need rulo.
Its necessary to wait th drying period of the sprayed paint.And than u must spray the second paint.No need to rulo.just wait for to dry.
You get a like for your entry for the darwin awards ahaha
haha the pic at the end poor PIR
You have to dilute it more it paints dots
roller and an extension pole will give better results
As a pro painter/Decorator you would be quicker and neater cutting in and using a proper exterior roller.
even a 4 year old can see that would be better than whatever it is he thinks he is doing. Just terrible.
@africanhistory plus he's not even masked up the windows
Do you think I could use this to paint my car parts?
No, it is too coarse and because it is made of plastic, may not resist some solvents.
I think he is painting his mother in laws house for free
Hello l am from kerala
The fact you couldn't be arsed to mask the light, windows and outside tap up worries me greatly. #HouseThatJackBuilt
You needn't be worried. I don't claim to be a professional nor am I looking for business in this field. I didn't expect as much overspray and I was wrong. Next time I will take the appropriate precautions.
The point of the video is for others to see what happens when you go against the equipment's instructions and insist on spraying masonry paint, as well as how slow it is to paint on low airflow with the small nozzle. In future I will use the equipment within its intended uses.
better deal
you should of taped up just incase
Rullo is faster
Weiss nicht entweder falsch eingestelt oder das ist wirklich nichts.
real review of a amateur
please use a mask, for your safety. do not inhale, especially wood paints
Thanks for the vid. not buying the machine
First look at some other reviews where people are using it the way it was intended. In both my videos I am using it outside its intended scope.
@@kennethpaine2428 Thanks for the info, not buying it
Hi
Good job 👍🏼
How much water have you added to Masonry Paint please?
@@sarwarsalem2711 I can't remember exactly but quite a lot. I suspect that if you add enough water to make the spray fine enough the paint will require more coats and maybe even drip. Best not use the PFS 3000 for masonry paint.
@@sarwarsalem2711 Actually, at 1:55 I say that I diluted the paint 15% to 20%
Painting is not yours!
No pareces muy bueno pintando. 😂😂😂😂😂
That product is shit! I have it. 0
