Very useful - I just bought the 3500 and am amazed that it's basically impossible to clean if you spray as much as 2 litres. Need to stop and clean after every litre I guess. I throw it all straight in a bucket of water and strip and scrub every part before reassembly. The 3500 heats up that much with it's twin turbines that it basically cooks the paint on. Ant the air filter clogs itself super fast, like within 2 litres if your working in a confined space ie fitted bookshelves. Bloody nice finish though, and far less overspray than airless. What a learning curve - nothing like a brush and roller!😅
Colin Enright Colin I've not had to replace one (fortunatly) however I do know they are between £20 - £30 from the Paintshack in Windlesham Berkshire if that helps?
It is a really good starter to intermediate machine, yes it has lasted me well and never let me down tbh. More than paid for itself. Are you looking at buying one?

Ashamed to say Trevor., bought a XVLP3500 18 months ago ,and have never tried it !! Watchi ng this has given me the confidence to give it a go

Colin did the same thing for me today, I had never cleaned it properly and thought I was just rubbish at spraying.
Really usefull ive been trying to work out how to take the thing to bits. It probably says in the instructions but who can be arsed with them !

@@DecorDev no your videos actually better than the official wagner one.used it last week on a job. Do you ever clean it with virosol?
A useful vid Trevor. I thinking of investing in one of these XVLP5000. Would you clean all the heads in the same way? eg fine finish etc. Thanks.

TJ Painting and Decorating it does thanks. Take it easy ma man
I hope you find this useful?
So you've been using this unit for a while now, are you still glad you bought it or would you buy something different?
It is a really good starter to intermediate machine, yes it has lasted me well and never let me down tbh. More than paid for itself. Are you looking at buying one?
I have never sprayed, do you clean the needle everytime you use it ? Or run water through the machine Each time ?
I didnt even know the needle needed cleaning, however now I clean it if not every time I spray, I always clean it every other time.
Hello, I think you mount a buse seal in the wrong way. the lips must be on the outside. Isn't it ?
Don’t you need to lube the o-rings?
