Very helpful. And for anybody else reading this, please wear a respirator.
I have a respirator for you. I also have some advice for you, the same advice your mommy and daddy should’ve taught you as a young useless human being, worry about yourself and no one else. Keep your lectures to yourself, no one wants to hear you. Great ( “short” ) video.
Yep, bladder cancer is real
If you were spraying up against something that you wanted super clean lines, do all of your painting everywhere else & spray your tape lines on the surface that’s important last. Pull your tape at a almost 180 degree angle away while the paints wet for a perfect line. If you are doing multiple coats one thing to do is tape up close but not to the line with your tape & plastic or paper, close enough so you can hand tape the cut line & only have to pull the tape by itself. Then when it drys you only have to cut up against with tape again while your protective tape combo stays in place. Great video! Graco is hands down the best spray company on earth. USA!! All Day!
Thank You!! I'm in the beginning stages of repainting a built-in entertainment center, that was stained and coated with polyurethane clear gloss. Glad you used the Extreme Bonding Primer, that I just decided to buy. I did not want to do all that pre-sanding like the old days, with kids in house. Hope my new Wagner sprayer give me the same results. Thanks for video!!
I love hearing from people who try this themselves! Send me some before and after pics if you can. I would love to post them on my Instagram account! @buildwithbc
I bought the same sprayer (corded) months ago to spray a couple of pergola's in the backyard. The project started great but quickly turned bad, clogs and spitting and sputtering. I gave up and went to the roller thinking, this sprayer was a waste of money.
After watching your videos, it appears (I already knew I was the problem, lol) that I did every wrong thing possible.
Your videos are excellent, not wordy and get quickly to the point. Likely these videos are a time consuming, so thanks for making them.
Regards
What a bummer that your sprayer didn’t work well for you. Was your paint brand new and free of chunks? Did you try to clear the clogged tip by turning the tip 180 degrees and flushing the tip out? It usually does the truck if I ever get a clog. The orifice in these sprayer tips is so small, the tiniest little piece of debris can cause huge headaches for sure. I usually run all my paint through a filter before I spray it if I have used the can before. Try that out before your next project and let me know how it goes.
Just ordered the same sprayer as I had a wagner and the air turbine kicked the buckest 10min into use! Looks amazing and much simpler cleanup! Guess the saying is right….you get what you pay for. Thanks for the vid! 👌👍
Awesome! Stepping up to a professional quality sprayer makes a huge difference! Best of luck with everything on your list.
Awesome. I have the Graco Pro II. This helped me make my decision. I’m buying the Ultra today.
Great sprayer for sure. Never lets me down!
Thanks man! The best instructional video I've seen
Thanks Brent!
Well done! I see this channel going Bigly. YEW!
nice video. thx man
Thanks!
Like I said your style is the best for me cus you arent using oil primer, shellac or lacquer. No one can resist that unbearable and harmful smell, especially if there are clients who stay at home even more in times of pandemic. Thank you!
I’m all about staying away from oil based products for so many reasons. This combo works for me every time. The water based paint does take longer to cure than oil based but it’s a trade I am ok with.
I always pinch 4 holes in the groove of the can the lids sits in, this drains the paint as im using it out of the can and when i put the lid back on all of the paint is forced back into the can
Looks good just add extra 30$ for your face cover healthy man
Good catch! I do paint with a respirator normally. I just got out of rhythm because I was doing a video.
That is a Laundry room?? Love the design and simplicity of it. I'm looking to do the same kind of thing in my house. Did you use a computer program to design the layout? Also great video on the graco sprayer. Ive been on the fence in purchasing one mainly because of mixed reviews and wasn't sure if I wanted corded or cordless. Not going to be spraying polys or any combustibles through here so I don't think I need the Ultramax. Was surprised these units didn't have more positive reviews. I think I'm going to pull the trigger on the cordless though. Great video hope to hear back from you regarding that Laundry room and really looking forward to seeing the finished product. Stay safe and God bless.
Yes, believe it or not, it’s a laundry room! I didn’t design it myself as it came this way when we bought the home new from Lennar Homes.
I have seen poor reviews for the sprayer from people but I have not had a bad experience with it. I find it incredible handy to have in my tool arsenal. I bought the cordless unit for ease of portability. Almost all of my tools are cordless now and it’s just so convenient. I already use Dewalt tools for most everything so it made it really easy to stay on the same battery platform. I should really post a video of the laundry room all finished now. I’ll have to get that done for sure.
I am re-finishing my 1973 varnished kitchen cabinets to look new ( the look will be like in this video) my question is, should I have the new expensive countertop installed first before I spray? It makes sense to me to have that installed first, but I don't know?
If you’re using the FFLP tips, set the dial at 2.5 and you’ll not get many runs.
Hi guys what size of FFLP is the best for kitchen cabinets, spindles ?
Hey glad i found your channel. Im working on a new tv stand with cabinets and ended with some orange peel from my 360 VSP version. I ended up using the bigger tip, would you say the smaller fan spray could give me a smoother finish or am i missing something? I plan on lightly sanding and spraying with polycrylic soon.
Great review, I'm thinking of getting one myself to do trim work, doors, coving only. Oddly thetips that come with this seem to wide 4.10/5.10 which are really for ceilings/walls, which I wouldn't use this machine for, Ideally they should supply with a 212 & 112 for spindles etc. Thanks for the upload. Hope the Graco is still going strong.
Yes I agree with you. It should come with either a 208, 210, or 212 tip.
I have a Graco also and after watching this vid I see that all I need is the smaller tip to do the cabinets. This makes a very labor intensive job much easier. I didn't see your prep video, did you use liquid sand or what for the prep. Had to sub for this.
You don’t have to use liquid prep if you use Sherwin Williams Extreme Bond Primer. You can lightly scuff the surface and then just wash everything down with soapy water. Sherwin Williams says you don’t need to scuff with their primer. I have used the primer and find no need to scuff the surfaces prior to paint. Get that smaller tip and paint away. The results you’ll get with your Graco airless sprayer are amazing when coupled with Sherwin Williams paints.
You mentioned the paint can said use a .013 to .017 tip but you are using a .012, please explain why? thx!
.013 to .017 on the can, you used 0.12 FF tip. Is that preferable? Was it due to lower pressure and FF tip or would a 214 be ok?
6:42 it’s a laundry room? Looks like a beauty salon from here.
It is a laundry room believe it or not. I did remove the standard laundry room sink and I installed a hair washing sink for my wife. She is a cosmetologist and works from home. Luckily our laundry room was large enough for us to have it double as her salon here at home so she can be home with the kids and still work as much as she wants to.
Are you spraying Emerald with urethane using an FFLP 208 tip without needing to thin it at all?
im so keen t get this sprayer instead of a cheap wesco one. thinking of all the things I can spray. I have so much furniture I have and need to do doors Fencing.
The Graco sprayers are worth every dime!!
Good vid. How has the SW held up over the years? You mentioned other projects you’ve painted. I’m looking at painting the kitchen cabinets too. Buying new Doors unpainted already. Mainly face fronts in terms of prep. Also, how much paint do you go through for a medium sized kitchen? Thanks.
The SW paint has held up really well. I use this in kitchens, laundry rooms, bathrooms and garages and it holds up to the abuse. My son accidentally pulled a shop vac across the face of our laundry room cabinets leaving black plastic melted into the door. I used a magic eraser to remove the black plastic and the cabinet looks like nothing ever happened. It’s not bullet proof by any means but I love using it. One thing I will address is that it takes longer to dry and cure than an oil based paint. It remains slightly tacky for a day or two depending on temp and humidity. I left some finger prints in the paint on some doors when I first started using it because I handled it a little too soon. As far as paint consumption that will totally depend on how thick you lay on the paint and primer. The tip you use also plays into it all as well. A wider tip will waste more paint than a narrow tip. My suggestion would be to buy one gallon of each and see how far it goes with the first coat. No matter what, you have to wait a day before you flip your doors over so you should have a really good idea of how much you used on the first pass. I would go grab another gallon if you use fed more than half the gallon on the first run. Did that help at all?
@@buildwithbc perfect. Thanks!
@@maceo2012 Best of luck!
The battery looks like it is a dewalt battery, is that the case? How long does the battery last, I see the sprayer is a lot more expensive than a model with a power cord. What did you pay for the sprayer and where did you buy it. Can you make a video how to clean the sprayer?
Thx
Graco has partnered with Dewalt on all of their battery powered equipment. Which is great for me because I primarily use Dewalt tools. I bought the sprayer from Amazon. I don’t recall the price I paid. There is a corded model which will do the same thing. I chose the battery powered unit for mobility. The 2AH batteries last for several gallons of paint depending on how and what I am spraying. I can totally make a video to show how I clean it out. I can get that done for you this week.
when you using FF tip , is it design for handheld sprayer only because the handhelp can not control the pressure? rigth?
You can use Fine Finish tips on either sprayer. You just have to use them in the Graco Rac X tips. The Graco Ultra Cordless sprayer does allow you to change the pressure. There’s a dial on the bottom of the grip that goes from 1 to 10.
@@buildwithbc what setting do you use to paint ? I painted baseboard at setting 10 and created a lot of overspray just regular semi gloss white paint ... I installed trim already and needs another coat I want to use sprayer but don’t wana get over spray all over my house !
The tip was 4 inch
What tip did you use for cabinets
I used a 208 FF LP tip for the acrylic urethane.
I just installed some judges paneling in our dining room and bathroom. I used a tempered hardboard backer and MDF trim and moldings. In the bathroom, I brushed cover stain primer and then a latex paint over the top and it was the biggest mistake I made. Even thinning the paint with FLO, I have brush marks everywhere and it looks awful. I decided to try a sprayer for the dining room. Have you sprayed latex through this unit and still obtained a smooth finish? What nozzles would you recommend for that? I would like to try the urethane paint for a cabinet like finish, but between 2 kids that won’t be able to stay away from the walls, along with a wife with bad asthma, i don’t think I can swing it. I can deal with latex paint so long as it doesn’t have a brush or orange peel finish.
I spray latex through the airless all the time. You don’t even have to buy one if you don’t want to. Home Depot will rent an airless sprayer to you if you have one nearby. Most latex paints have the tip suggestions on the can. I have found that I get the best results when I go down a size or two from the recommendation. You won’t have to thin the paint at all if you use an airless either which is a huge plus.
Believe it or not the urethane doesn’t have a stronger odor than the latex. You probably don’t need the urethane for a wall though. Either paint will serve you well.
One suggestion would be to sand out those brush marks if you really want that smooth look.
Hope this helps and best of luck with your project. I hope it turns out just the way you want.
@@buildwithbc thanks for the quick reply! Very helpful and good to know about the odor. Definitely planning to sand out as much of the brush marks as I can and then spray it. I can assure you it can’t make it any worse! Thanks again
@@tomp1279 latex paint gets really soft and easily begins to peel up and create tiny rolls/balls of paint if it gets heated up while you sand it. Take your time when you are sanding down those brush marks or it can get pretty frustrating. Most orbital sanders will make a pretty quick mess of things because of the heat they create while sanding. I have to say I learned this one the hard way!!
Can I use this grago sprayer for a kitchen cabinets or do you recommend another one? By the way great job! Thank you for sharing
Yes, you can use your Graco sprayer on kitchen cabinets. I just painted my brand new kitchen cabinets I built for my kitchen with my Graco Mangum X5 sprayer. I used a 212 fine finish tip with the Sherwin Williams Emerald trim enamel. You can check it out on my Instagram account @buildwithBC
I'm also looking for a good sprayer. I have found the Wagner XVLP sprayer that I'm thinking of buying. It is slower to paint with vs an airless. But it gives you more time to get better control. It doesn't use as much paint. And it is also better when fixing smaller stuff. See this video about it compared to the graco: ua-cam.com/video/VJWfS3Q2y_8/v-deo.html
Quero vídeo em português ok
Can you suggest a more affordable sprayer to use with this paint? One that is around $100 to $150
You can buy an inexpensive HVLP sprayer from Harbor Freight if you want to. It’ll run you about $30. You’ll need to thin out the paint before you spray though. I usually go 1/4 to 1/3 water vs paint when spraying through a HVLP sprayer.
Actually this one with the battery is $570 and you need to make sure you have the proper size tip. The paint can usually specifies the tip size.
Dude... Where's your respirator?
Do you have a link to purchase the smaller sprayer tip?
Definitely getting a paint sprayer. I really want to know when do you remove the painter's tape? I didn't get this info. Do you remove it once the paint is dry or when it's wet? also, you suggest using frogs tape?
remove while still wet, if you remove the masking when the paint is dry is will tear the dry paint off with it.
You can use any type of tape you want, I use Blue 3M tape personally. I remove the tape before it dries. I wait until the paint is dry to the touch and no longer comes off on my hand. You’ll pull tape off the cabinets if you wait until it dries. If you do wait for whatever reason, then you’ll need to take a razor knife along the edges before you peel it off.
@@buildwithbc Thank you for this appreciate it. Will remove the tape before it dries.
Hi, I’m wondering which spray tip did you use to paint?
What primer did you use?
Thank you 🙏
I use a 208 Fine Finish tip to spray the Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel. I use a 212 Fine Finish tip to spray the Sherwin Williams Extreme Bond Primer.
I just bought a Graco Ultra model 17M359 which is the corded model. On my paint can it says to spray at 2000psi and use a tip 013 to 017. in your video you said you were using a 212 FF tip .012 and you said you turned your pressure down to around 1000 psi. With that tip and pressure you set you said you still had runs in a couple spots. I'm building custom cabinet for a customer can you tell me what setting for pressure on your gun you used and also why do you think you got several runs in your paint. when setting the pressure to 1/2 of what the paint can says to spray at how can the spray gun spray the thicker paint. I think I heard you mention on another video that you go down 2 tip sizes from what the paint mfg says. Also, what tip are you using for the primer and then if you are spraying on a clear coat which tip. Thank you
Tom,
All great questions. I had a couple runs in my paint because I was spraying with a 315 tip in a tight place and I didn’t move my sprayer along quick enough. I was also a bit impatient and didn’t wait as long as I should have before I came back and added a second coat. As far as pressure and tips go, you’ll need to experiment. I know that doesn’t help you much but it’s the real answer here. I do usually go down a few tip sizes from the recommendation on the can. It’s a personal preference for me, nothing more than that. I use a 212FF tip to spray the Extreme Bond Primer and I use a 210FF or a 208FF to spray the enamel. Those are just my preferences. After you select the tip you want use, you start at the lowest pressure on your gun and keep adjusting it up until the spray fan is nice and even for end to end.
It took a while for me to find the right combo that works the way I wanted it to. I bought several different tips and practiced on scraps until I found the combination that works for me.
@@buildwithbc Thank you for the fast response, much appreciated! I like your video's, you don't waste time with a bunch of information that is useless, you are pretty much right to the point with useful information. I'll order some extra tips because the tip it came with is a 514 and not useful for spraying wood furniture that I built for a customer. I saw in a answer to someone else you use between 2 & 4 pressure when spraying I'll try what you have already proved to have worked. Keep up the good work . Than you
Tom
@@Tom-qn5nd thank you for the compliments. I love seeing people go out and tackle projects like this. I grew up learning at my dad’s side with all of the projects he tackled around our home. It’s my hope that these videos inspire someone to try something they haven’t done before and then pass that knowledge down to the next generation.
What is the total weight of the sprayer when the reservoir is full?
Do you prime with the same gun? And also do you clean your sprayer every day even if you’re painting tmrw same paint
I use either my cordless sprayer or the normal airless when I prime. It just depends on the size of the job. I use a 212 FF LP tip when I spray the Extreme Bond primer in either sprayer.
Hi do recommend using lacquer paint? I love the way it look but I can’t find it
I don’t use lacquer paint anymore personally. It’s getting harder and harder to find and from what I’m being told it’s on its way out because of VOC laws. You can still get lacquer paint from auto body supply stores if you are 100% set on lacquer paint.
What do you do about when they are spitting
I want to apply two coats of primer. Do I have to clean the sprayer between two coats if it is 1 hr a part between two coats. Thanks
I wouldn’t clean out the whole sprayer if you are painting one hour later. I would clean out the tip and guard though.
Hi There! If I could only get one painter, would you recommend the Graco Magnum X5 or the Graco Ultra? I'll be using for cabinets + occasional kids room to paint. I'm only a home owner. Thank you!
Steven, I’m just a homeowner too. I’m in an office all day for my regular job. The fun starts when I get home each day and then all day every Saturday! To answer your question, I’d buy the X5 if I could have just one. Both have their advantages and disadvantages but the X5 can do everything you’d ever want to do it’s just less portable. I’d recommend you get a Graco RacX guard for it though so you can use the Fine Finish tips for painting cabinets. Lately I’ve been using the Fine Finish 212 tip to spray primer and the Fine Finish 208 tip to spray the paint and the results have been amazing. Many people say you have to use an HVLP sprayer on cabinets to get good results. It simply isn’t true. I have painted cabinets both ways and with the Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane paint, I can’t even tell the difference and I am very much a perfectionist. Have fun with your projects!
Build With BC- Tips for DIY home projects thank you for the time to reply!😊
It kind of depends on how much you want to spray and how long between spraying. The X5 has a hose that fills with paint and thus waste every time you clean up. The Graco TC Pro has a cup that has all the air removed. You can set it aside and cap the container and clean up with a separate container. If you are using $70/gal paint, that may make a difference if you are doing cabinets and baseboard for a whole house. As a home owner, I do one room at a time, then move contents, mask and tape, then spray, so many small jobs.
@@buildwithbc Hey - going through your series of videos as I prep for my own kitchen cabinet painting project. I will be using the Graco magnum X5. Question on the spray tips - you recommend the 212 FFLP (primer) and a 208 FFLP for the Emerald top coat - that’s not too small an orifice if the paint can recommends .013 - .017? I agree I want the smoothest finish which is what a smaller orifice delivers - but no issues with clogging? Thanks!! And great job from one DIYer to another!
@@alexlim803 you nailed it, those are the exact tips I use for both paints. Just remember that you’ll need to get a RAC X guard to use those tips on an X5. I have used a 212FF tip with the emerald enamel and that works great as well. It just put out way more paint than I wanted.
it would have gone better had you not sped up the video so that one could get a sense of the paint speed.
Bill, I have another project coming up soon and I’ve been thinking of adding a few things and I like your advice. I appreciate the feedback. Thank you!
Me, I would’ve hand-painted the frame. Would’ve taken less time. All that overspray-waste of product (I HATE waste), on a surface that is neither touched nor discerned like doors and drawer-fronts are. If it’s less than four inches, grab a brush.
😏is this graco cordless sprayer gun ,left the same smooth finish as good as an airless sray machine ?🤔
Yes sir Mr yes sir Mr 👍
Don’t listen to the paint recommendation for spray tips. I use 208 or 308. Never go over a 10 thousands tip spraying trim. You will have a ton of peel and paint waste
Thanks Tyler!
Agreed sw likes for you to use a bigger tip so that you use more product
@@buildwithbc On my paint can it says 013 to 017 spray tip, I'm not sure which tip to use, it also says to spray at 2000psi. I see on this video he says he sprays at about 1000 psi when using FF tips. I'm confused how can a thicker paint be sprayed out of a smaller tip size at less pressure. I bought Sherwin Williams paint that Lowe's sells it's their top of the line but made by Sherwin Williams. Thanks. Also which spray pressure would you spray at, my Ultra gun has a setting starting at 1 to 10, I assume 10 is equal to 2000psi.
Forgot to mention I'm spraying newly made wood cabinets.
Who is they?
What setting are you using when spraying the paint??
Mich, The setting varies depending on the paint I am spraying. It usually ranges somewhere between 2 and 4 when spraying through a fine finish tip.
How critical is it to prime wood first?
Absolutely critical! This is what allows the Urethane paint to bond.
What Tip size are you using on your Sprayer?
I use anywhere from a 208FF tip to a 212FF tip when spraying the Emerald Urethane Enamel. I use a 212FF when spraying the Extreme Bond Primer.
Please help me brother. I have tried the original and fine finish tip and no matter what I do, change the pressure, spray before hitting the cabinet door surface, I’m still spitting. Not a lot but enough to be an issue. Any ideas how I can stop it?
Excuse me where you get the fine tip can tell me please
amzn.to/3t51RWy Here is the guard you need. I’ll also send you a link for the tip in one second.
amzn.to/3dJForS Here is the 212 fine finish tip.
Is the paint water based?
Yes both the paint and primer are water based.
Es mejor la que lleva cable
si pero para trabajos pequeños esta es buena
@@pearlperlitavenegas2023 si eso si es verdad
how long for the SW urethane to touch and cure
Bill, I wait over night before I gently handle the painted pieces when I use the SW urethane. It’s takes a day or two before I handle them for installation. It definitely cures slower than an oil based paint but once it cures, it’s extremely durable.
FYI I just used the SW Emerald
urethane trim enamel and it still wasn’t dry 2 days later. I could scrape the paint off with my fingernail. I called SW and they said the more pigment in the paint the slower the dry time. Well I was painting black.. I found I really had to leave that paint alone. Even after a couple of days it could show fingerprints.
Is. SW primer oil based? I've been told if don't use oil primer ie Cover Stain, white paint bleed and or turn yellow.
Also, are you sponsored by SW?
I am not sponsored by anybody. I am just a guy that loves to do things myself and I created this channel to share what I have learned over the years. The Extreme Bond primer from SW is water based. It’s extremely thick and covers over everything I’ve thrown at it so far. It bonds to everything including glass. I have painted everything from raw oak, pine, poplar, maple, and MDF with absolutely zero issues. I have painted over many different woods that were stained and finished of all colors and tints all with great results. I am by no means saying this is the best way or only way to tackle painting cabinets. I am just sharing what has worked for me. I am all for learning from others on new techniques and approaches and do not think I know everything. Feel free to DM me on IG @buildwithbc to share any pics of what you are trying to do and I’ll be happy to help you if I’ve done it and share how it went for me. Each time I paint another cabinet I get better, work to improve my process and hopefully the outcome.
I forgot to mention, you can take a door off your cabinet and take it to SW and explain to them what you want to do. They can walk you through the products and process to get the results you are looking for.
@@buildwithbc thanks. I will msg you.bill take all the advise I can get.
@@buildwithbc thank you so much for detailed information , too much appreciate your video.
@@hassanal-hasnawy5746 thank you! I am not a pro UA-camr, I just enjoy trying and doing new things. Hopefully this helps you tackle painting your cabinets on your own.
Should you be wearing a respirator and safety glasses? PPE is important.
Yes, I usually do wear a respirator. I just didn’t do it because I was filming.
