I chose a huge Gentleman's Chest from my bedroom for this week's furniture makeover. I've been putting this one off for a while because it's so big. I decided to use my Wagner sprayer to make the job go faster and go for a smooth, moody black finish. I'll be giving you lots of tips for using a paint gun sprayer if you are a beginner. It's not as hard as you might think.

I love this piece. It is GORGEOUS, would love to have a piece like that. Thanks for the sprayer top because I just bought a Wagner sprayer and have been afraid to use it 🥴. Still somewhat intimidated with it but think I will give it a shot this up coming week. Thanks for all the helpful tips. I love watching your videos as I do pick up so much from them. Thanks again and have a blessed evening 🙏🏻😊.

@@ChristinaMuscari Thank you so Christina, oh this comes at such a perfect time. I really enjoy watching all your videos, I am learning so much from you. I refer back to your videos quite often when I’m stuck or need some inspiration. Again thanks and I look forward to watching your next video. Hope you have a blessed night 🙏🏻
@christinamuscari would you please do a video on staging furniture to take pictures to sell?!
I finally just got a Wagner 590 after unicycle with rollers and brushes . I found d any dark pieces would be more time consuming to get rid of streaks or patches from roller was frustrating would literally be all good then there would always be one spot streaky so would have to do the top again etc with a black or dark colours x and thsnoyu this is the best soray tutorial I’ve seen very needed thsnoyu xxx
How e spray with white
Pant
Let me suggest that you use a product called Flotrol rather than water, available in similar product labels at big box stores. Flotrol is designed specifically to improve flo without watering down the paint and therefore diluting benefits. I've use this product for 50+ years. I think you'll find the results much more to your liking.
Does this thin it for paint sprayers? Have u done it with sprayer sir?
Flotrol helps level paint but doesn’t thin it for sprayers…what she did is correct
Floetrol is for latex paint, not chalk or mineral paints! Never use it with a true water based paint!
@@catofthecastle1681 I’ve seen it used many times with acrylic.
So this Floetrol tip ended up confusing everyone.
I'll say this now for anyone using this type of spray gun if you spray it and nothing comes out after using it 3 or so times check the pump area they get clogged super easy with dry paint build up and I've fixed 100s of these and sold them after people returned them (Amazon pallet buy usually quick fixes and easy money returns) because they thought they were broken, when all it takes is a 15min tear down and it's fixed. Good luck with the job look forward to seeing what you come up with I'm in lock down in Australia and I've been re doing everything I can find wife is loving and hating it at the same time hahahaha.
We're just starting to come out of lockdown here in Ireland but very tentatively so. Thinking of you all over in Oz. Keep busy. Helps the mind.
You sound like you know something about spray guns, What type of gun is the best to buy? I was wondering if the gravity feed might be a good way to go. Have a compressor that I use for my nail guns, haven’t checked, but assume it would be strong enough. Saw a brand called Spray It
I have 2 spray guns. One I bought and used once, one came out of a storage unit and given to me. Neither spray properly. I’ve been dreading trying to figure out what’s up with them. Thanks for your comment! I do hope they take about 15 minutes a piece to fix! 🙂
@@robertawills7219 I have used this. And can confirm it does clog up. The only thing to do is clean it frequently with water by spraying it, and of course diluting the paint. It’s a pain for sure.
What do you mean by pump area? Which part is that?
I absolutely love how this piece turned out, that copper gilding really made it pop. This is definitely one of my most favorite makeovers you have done.
I’m prepping to start my very first furniture flip! I’ve not used a sprayer before, but love how quick it seems to get everything covered! Thank you for all that you do. So inspiring!
Stunning, so so pretty! I’m in awe over this piece and just love the modern dark color with copper knobs. Gorgeous with your room! I’m inspired to try this myself in my master bedroom with scratched and dated brown mismatched furniture. We have a sprayer but never used it. I’m ready now and appreciate your tips! Thank you so much for all the inspiration!
I have used many sprayers including a HVLP electric to paint my doors. You did a great job on your furniture make over and explained it well for any beginner to give it try. Nice looking finish.
I’m learning so much by watching Christina. I’ve ordered Dixie belle products over the last week or so and the gator hide is pretty awesome. Thank you Christina and Dixie Belle, painting is really helping me relax and focus during a tough time.
I love how this turned out! I used a sprayer once so far to top coat a piece. It worked wonders. Can't wait to use it more.
Love it, great job. Thank you for the encouragement. My husband got me a Wagner sprayer for my Bday and came across your video which is giving me great ideas to transform our new home. God bless!
I’ve never used a sprayer but am really interested in possibly buying one.
I absolutely love how this piece turned out. Your whole bedroom looks amazing.
This piece looks amazing! I think the hardware gilding wax choice was on point! I also have a Wagner and I think you are very accurate with the examples you gave and techniques you showed. Thank you for sharing your bedroom masterpiece with us!! God bless!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I’m going to try a sprayer for the first time today and this was probably the most comprehensive tutorial I’ve come across. Short, simple, to the point. Your piece came out gorgeous!
I have a Flexio and love how quickly it gets my projects done. Tip for using a paint sprayer. Mine came with a large and small container. I use the smaller container for my top coat and have everything ready so as soon as the paint is dry I can apply the top coat.
You did a great job on your piece, looks so nice 👌
That turned out fantastic! I’ve used a sprayer before on the pieces I’ve done and I agree that the smooth finish and quick application makes it all worth it. Even if you prefer brushes it’s worth a try. 😁👍🏾
I love how you did the hinges without taking them off! I used a paint sprayer on houses when I painted as a kid, but never for furniture.
Great job! I just did my first pieces using the W 3000! There is definitely a learning curve (a little sanding and a small redo required), but I LOVE the speed and the finish is amazing! It's well worth a try and important to allow yourself to mess up.
Can't wait ....thank you so much ....I just got mine...and can't wait to use it ...👍👏❤I love your videos can't stop watching !👏🍿 thanks for all your tips and techniques
Love it! This is my favorite so far. I prefer to use my sprayer most of the time to get a “factory finish” that I can only seem to get using a sprayer. I use a cheap tent outside when spraying and I need to protect my work (from falling leaves) and in the workshop; with 3 to 5 minutes, a ladder, some clear plastic and a staple gun I can easily make a “paintbooth” hung from the rafters to protect from overspray. The key to proficiency is practice practice practice! Start on smaller, inexpensive projects first, so you are not overwhelmed by the size or the stress of having ruined a prized possession.
What a beautiful transformation on this piece. The caviar paint paired with the copper hardware is gorgeous. I have never used a sprayer but I’ve been considering it for a while. Thank you for the tutorial and tips!
Love the dark grounding that this brings! I’ve only used a sprayer once, and you covered my tips- go slow and test it first 🥰
I love how this piece turned out. The copper looks gorgeous against the black. I’m still a beginner when it comes to using a paint sprayer (only used one once so far) but I enjoyed how quickly it went compared to using a brush.
I love how this piece worked out! I have not used a spray yet just got one and a little nervous, but your tips helped,
Thank you 😊
I could never figure out how people protected their surroundings when using a paint sprayer.. the tent is such a handy idea!! I have never used a sprayer but when I do I will use that tip. Finished product looks great :) I’m a super beginner so I have no tips personally but enjoy reading the other tips 😂
Or go to appliance store and get a fridge box from dumpster or have them hold 1-2 nice 6’ tall cardboard and then unfolds 3x as box has 4 sides makes a nice panel!
Or cheap plastic Walmart is cheapest 3pack plastic liner is like 1.28 if u want a reusable get thicker plastic like $5-6 for 1-2 grab 1x2 firing strips staple plastic to strips kind of making a wall pulled tight then stand up 1x2 board and screw into stud if u have unfinished garage etc or just make a full square frame with 1x2 then cover it with plastic under an hr u got a booth and with think plastic u can reuse it’
I love how this turned out. I used to do my projects with brushes and I love my Wagner sprayer. It gives such a smooth finish, and takes up less time. My tip is always make sure you spray something before you spray your projects I learned the hard way on a couple of mine.
I have not used a sprayer yet, but I love how you explain how to use it. You make it seem so simple! Thanks Christina. The piece looks gorgeous!
I am a newbie when it comes to painting furniture. I'm still getting used to the different types of brushes. I hope to someday get a sprayer. I love how this project turned out. It was so smooth because of the sprayer. Love your channel!
I have decided to redecorate with free furniture. But I would love to get a sprayer for the chairs. There are 8. Was going to by spray cans but can likely get a spray gun for that
Christina, you make everything seem so easy. I have been thinking about sprayer for a while now and want to get one that is affordable and super easy to use. I think this wagner spray may be the one. Love the dixie belle caviar color that you have used with the copper hardware. Love love love it.
I just got a sprayer last week, and I am so excited to try it out! I am in love with the way this piece turned out! I hope all of my spraying endeavors go ask smoothly as yours did!
LOVE how it turned out.
I haven’t used a sprayer yet, but as a newbie furniture painter, the tips and tricks have been really helpful.
I've only used brushes but now I'm excited to get a sprayer. However, I'm still a bit scared but you've made me a bit confident in trying to use a sprayer. Again, beautiful creation! 😍
Let us know if you have any questions! It's so easy to use!
@@Wagner-Spraytech I'm actually going to buy your product pretty soon. Can't wait!
I was like you, intimidated with sprayers. Tried it and honestly, don’t think I’ll look back. Even if I have a really small project, like a key holder, I’ll just use a rattle can. Soooooo much easier. That test piece advise is gold! Try that always!
So do I!!! So scared to use but today I shall go to Bunnings and buy one...so excited!
I used mine for the first time a few weeks ago and I loved it! I was nervous about top coat so I just used brush but I had brush marks so I’m definitely going to use the sprayer for the topcoat for the next one! Thanks 🤓
A sprayed finish is just too good!
Beautiful finish too - the metalwork really sets the tone and style of it.
Absolutely love how this piece turned out. The Wagner 3000 is great and I can’t wait to use it again. Thanks for sharing your skills, always love watching and learning from you!
Looks fantastic! I must ask though, how did you address the front side edges of the drawers? I know they don’t show when closed, but it would bother me to see the original espresso stain colour every time I open a drawer. Also, is there any paint build-up in the spaces between drawers since you left them in to paint? I’ve always removed drawers to paint but that was just for brushing, not spraying.
Yes please let us know :)
I'm often curious about that too. Video tutorials seem to step right over that detail. When I've painted furniture in the past, I had to sand the drawer edges to be able to close after painting edges
I’ve contemplated purchasing a Sprayer as I watch Kate and DIY Wife use theirs. You’ve convinced me that I can do this! 👍🏽 practice makes improvement!
We look forward to seeing your projects!
I used a sprayer two years ago for the first time for my kitchen table and six chairs. I’ve since moved and don’t have a garage but look forward to spraying again someday. Thanks for all the tips. Your piece turned out great!
I just got my sprayer, so I really appreciate your videos that show us step by step how to use them. So helpful! You piece is gorgeous!
Beautiful! I've only used my sprayer once and I was a intimidated at first, but it was easier than I expected. Adding a little of the black to tint the top coat is great advice. The first piece I sprayed was black and turned out cloudy. I had to rework, but in the end it turned out nice. Great job!
Amazing timing! Just the video I was looking for. My hubby and I want to start flipping furniture starting next week. Your pieces are such an inspiration!
Love the contrast of the drawer pulls and the black dresser. I haven't used a sprayer yet, but I might consider it now that I've seen you do it. Thanks for the great tips.
This black paint is everything. Love how this turned out.💗💗
This was so neat! Such a beautiful piece. Wish I would have watched this before I tried my first time. The more you do it the more comfortable you become.
Thank you so much for doing a paint sprayer video! I’ve done a few pieces with one and really appreciate your locked wrist technique and showing how to fix paint drips and lint that sticks to a wet piece. Thank you also for showing how paint and top coat spraying are both alike in technique but different in terms of thickness and how that varies in the sprayer setting. I’ve yet to spray top coats and wasn’t sure if I’d have to add water or not so now I feel more comfortable trying it. Thanks, again…..love all your videos!
I really appreciated this lesson, Christina, thank you. I am less nervous about trying a sprayer on furniture now. Your Gentleman's Chest turned out beautiful!
That dresser turned out gorgeous! I have been working on furniture for several years hand-painting everything. I just purchased a paint sprayer but I haven’t used it yet. Thank you for taking some the intimidation out of using a sprayer.
This was a FANTASTIC tutorial! I haven't tried Dixiebell in a LONG time and never with a sprayer. I'm getting this sprayer and Dixiebell paint for my next few projects!!
Christina makes it look so easy. I'm getting ready to do my 1st project with a sprayer and I appreciate the encouragement!
I've never used a paint sprayer, but it's definitely on my wish list! This piece turned out beautifully. Thanks so much for helping me in my furniture flipping journey!
Absolutely beautiful. I have the same sprayer as you. As a beginner you just have to go slow, keep a steady hand and have fun. It's easy to fix a mistake, just have fun while spraying and creating something beautiful. ❤️ Glad your back!!
Looks amazing! And so simple, but like you I have refinished furniture for years but I am so intimidated by the sprayers! Love the choice of gilding wax! I use this color a lot. Love all your work!
Thank you so much for the great tutorial!!! I just painted a very old (80-100 yr old) vanity in caviar and my top coat streaked. I’ve been dreading going back to work on it because I’m afraid I’ll streak it again. I’ve been toying with getting a sprayer and you made this look very do-able. Thank you so much! Your armoire turned out gorgeous!!!
I have a Wagner 2000 and love it! Best advice...patience is key, mistakes will be made but it's all a learning lesson 🥰 Great job...love the black and copper! Final look is amazing!
I am totally new to furniture flipping! I have just started working on a piece and have been trying to learn everything I can about how to use a sprayer. Thanks for sharing all of your tips!
I just bought a sprayer because brushing and rolling in this summer heat is brutal! I looked up this video that I saw several times scrolling through UA-cam. You did an amazing job and I'm now ready to get started. Thank you so much!
Christina,
I really admire your work.I also purchase old furnitures in bad condition and renew them in the same manner.It's a real therapy...
All the best !
So helpful! Thank you for sharing your process. I've been on the fence about buying a sprayer because there's so many options and it's a bit overwhelming. This helped me feel much less overwhelmed and gave me the confidence to reconsider it. The piece turned out beautifully. Love the black!
This piece is gorgeous! I love that you explain each step that you do. I find it so helpful. I haven’t tried spraying yet. I have a specific piece that I want to spray and this video really helped. 🧡
I love Xavier. I just did a very large Mexican Pine coffee table and 2 matching bookshelves. So much work but spraying the bookshelves saved me so much time and went on so smooth. Love spraying... especially chairs!
Thank you for this tutorial. I bought a Wagner spryer and haven’t used it yet but you’ve given me some confidence to go for it. Love the way your piece turned out!
I am a new flipper and just ordered this same sprayer today. I am so excited to get the finish that you achieved. And talk about a time saver. As I am new, I am in no place to give advice just yet. Have fun everyone.
A beginner never sprayed but you make it look so easy. Love your home all the thought & makeovers really show.😘
I love all your tutorials. Your detailed and easy to follow instructions are great for beginners. We have a Wagner and my husband used it to paint our floorboards, buy made a mess. Im sending this video over to him to watch for future projects! Beautiful job by the way. Loved your cabinet.
Christina, what a beautiful piece. I’m loving the color and finish as well. I’m looking to paint my dresser that I use as a buffet, dining chairs and table in my dining room and this color or a mid tone color would work well. Thank you for sharing your tips and ideas for creating a smooth finish. You are the Queen. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️❤️
I love the copper against the black!! The finish using the sprayer came out beautifully 💜
This turned out gorgeous. I have only used a spryer once but loved how fast it went.
This was soooo helpful thank you! We are repainting cabinets for the first time and have a steep learning curve with it all. Hates the sprayer at first but now love it. You answered a lot of our questions on this. 😀
I haven’t used a sprayer yet and have been doing a little research on them recently..you make it look so easy! Love love the caviar with the copper. It’s beautiful!!
Never used a sprayer before, and now I’m contemplating going to buy one! This was a beautiful furniture flip!
Great job on the piece and nice clear instructions for using sprayer. BTW - so glad to see proper clothing, footwear and use of safety equipment.
Just started my journey in restoration furniture.. COMPLETELY IN LOVE💜 Dixie Belle is on my list 🎨 🖌
I absolutely love the copper on the black it’s so beautiful 💖💞💝 I’ve never used a sprayer before but I would love to get one and you make it look so easy on top of getting gorgeous elegant results ❤️
I have the exact sprayer that you have but I am a novice myself. I painted one chair with spindles and ran and bought the sprayer. I'm always intimidated at first but get in the flow after a bit. Your work is beautiful!
Love how this turned out and it really looks good in your room. Great tips for spraying on paint, thank you!
Absolutely gorgeous transformation Christina. I am planning to get a sprayer soon and was so happy to see that you explained and gave so many helpful tips for beginners. I love the contrast between the black with the copper knobs 💕. Thanks for the opportunity to win such amazing paint 💗
I absolutely love this gentleman’s warbdrobe the color is so beautiful. I’m going to get a Wagner sprayer that same one you are using. Thankyou for your wonderful creations ❤️
Thanks for this video, I used a sprayer a few times a while ago and this video is packed with these little reminders I needed before I pick up the sprayer again!
Love DB gilding waxes 😍 easy to use and the colors are so rich. This is a beautiful transformation 🤩
Christina, another beautiful piece! 🖤 I love the color of the hardware with the Caviar for a classic look! I also appreciate the paint sprayer tidbits along the way - hoping to get one soon.
Nice video. I really appreciate the time spent describing actual technique for using the sprayer
I have been working in a cabinet shop for a few years, where it is viewed as a sin to paint wood.😊 I am new to this side of the furniture world. I can't wait to get started! Yes I have a used a paint sprayer, with mixed results. Love your work.
Love this piece! Just recently started using Dixie Belle paints and I love them! I have been wanting to get a sprayer and now you have convinced me I need to get one. Looking forward to more of your amazing videos!
I’m a fan of the copper as well. This piece turned out beautiful and thanks for the sprayer tips.
I love the black and the copper!! Beautiful.
This looks absolutely FABULOUS! I'm about to refinish my dining set. I can't wait for the finished look.
Thank you for this video! I just bought a paint sprayer and am intimidated to use it & also needed a spray tent so I’ll check out the one in your video. After watching your tutorial, I feel a lot more ready to try it out. Thank you!! ✨
I just got a spray gun! After watching all your videos, I found it really lovely to work with. My first coat did go on quite chunky so I definitely need to go get some strainers, as that was a step I had skipped. I plan to make over a lot of furniture, so I think the sprayer will become my best friend! Thanks so much for all your tips and beautiful videos.
OMG, Thank you so much for the tip on laying the piece on the ground and spraying! I sprayed a dresser and did not get any paint puddle/build up. Thanks again!
The copper goes well with the black. I think that definitely was the best choice.
can't wait to spray my first piece! I feel so much more prepared now that I've watched your video for beginners!
I am obsessed with painting furniture (and walls) dark right now. I don’t have a sprayer yet but always jealous watching the videos that use them!
I’ve never used a sprayer but you make it look easy! Beautiful piece, thanks for the tips.
I love how you encourage everybody to take a risk. Great job. I want to try to spray my bedroom furniture. That piece is so pretty
Love using a sprayer compared to hand painting. I’m still a beginner myself. Can’t wait to finally get the hang of it completely, it’s sooo much faster!!
My sprayer arrived to the house about three or four weeks ago. My tip is to JUST DO IT! Thank you for the great tutorial and love how the copper gilding wax gave the piece such a fresh updated look. Paint sprayer, here I come!
Amazingly thorough explanation of the painting process. Thank you! Am glad to have found your video and will check out more.
I love using the sprayer. But I also forget how much quicker it makes things. Plus I enjoy painting. thanks for your insights. Welcome back
Thanks for how clearly you explained the process. Your piece is gorgeous!
Flawless finish!! I love how the copper looks on this black beauty!!
Love it! I bought this same sprayer (b/c you have it!) and have used it several times. Like you, I feel more confident after each use. Thanks for all of your tips!
This is the best paint sprayer tutorial I've seen. Thank you! I plan to pick up a sprayer soon and give this a try. Love, your channel. It's easily one of my faves.
