Great job pete,thats what you call a supreme finish compared to brush and roller which is what i mainly use,the ulta max really comes into its own for a project like that,you got such clean lines against the grout at top of shower tiles!those radiators are a nighmare to paint behind😮they never seem to think of the poor painter who has to try and get a finish behind them!!
Thank you Eddie, really good to hear from you.. yeah I’ve painted many bathrooms with a brush / roller in years gone by - you’re right, it’s tricky with s brush along a rough grout line and behind rads are a pain 😩 ..masking didn’t take long on this, and spraying it in was certainly very quick and less labour intensive 👍 Hope you’re keeping well my friend 💙💯 regards Pete
All that masking shows a really professional job. Fine Finished☺️👌🏼
Thank you sir 🙏 I do enjoy the process masking, very rewarding and you do get quicker with practice 😄
I paint all day and every day!
And I always watch your videos!
It’s sooo satisfying
I can see you love doing this job.
I’m the same
Hi Wahid, you’re so kind.. I’m pleased to hear you’re enjoying the wonderful world of paint spraying 💙💯 Regards Pete
Hi Pete. I came to the Graco via Peter Millard at The 10 Minute Workshop. Like him, I'm a carpenter/builder that was looking for a better paint finish than a roller.
I've had no end of small issues with it !, but with perseverance, and your video tips and tricks, the desired finishes are starting to show. There is so much to take in and learn compared to getting out the tray and roller !!! 😂😂😂😂
It’s great to hear from a carpenter.. Whilst my dad wasn’t a professional carpenter, my dad all his life has been a tools enthusiast and loves woodworking.. so I have the upmost respect for the trade.. I admire you for striving for the ultimate finish - airless (handheld or a bigger pump), is certainly the easiest technology to master.. but like anything, ‘it’s easy when you know’.. well done for your perseverance 👏👏 thanks for your kind feedback 🙏 always feel free to reach out if you think I can offer any help or guidance.. regards Pete 💙💯
I also like Mr Millard I watch he’s videos when ever I can.
Nice and sharp Pete!
Thank you Jonny, you’re a diamond 🙏👍💙💯
Thank you! Very enjoyable style of presentation. It’s refreshing to not have to suffer through all the slap-stick antics and mindless jibber jabber of most “how-to” guys out there. Keep it up.
I very much appreciate your kind words.. my goal has always been to (hopefully) produce high production value content, coupled with plenty of information.. I value your feedback, thank you 💙💯 keep in touch.. regards Pete
great job as usual
Thank you brother 🙏💙💯
Hi Pete. Great video, I think this unit was designed for bathrooms. I think that's what I've used mine on the most, also spindles on small stair cases. I've still not tried the kip tape. I'm using deltec purple or masq. But I'm a big fan of yellow frog tape. It's never let me down. The johnos durable is amazing for new plaster work as well. Amazing job, looks great. 👌🏻
Hey buddy, you’re very wise, thanks for sharing your experience.. Using FrogTape was what led me to Kip, with Shurtape being being the parent company 👍 ..great to hear from you my friend, hope you’re keeping well 🙏 regards Pete
1st class mate
Thank you so much 🙏💙💯
Thanks
Thank you Tony, very much appreciated 🙏💙💯
What an absolutely great informative video my friend the info on the tips a great bit of information for those starting out same flow rate but thinner coat if you use the 4 over the 2 I’ll be in the market for a new tri axe pump soon what in your opinion are the improvements in it over the old one. Keep up the good work my friend
You’re so kind, I very much appreciate your continued support.. The Triax II boasts 3x more service, versus its predecessor - it’s certainly worth factoring in the price of a replacement when pricing a job.. ie adding £5 - £10 to projects using the HH, you soon have the money to replace such consumable items, including airless spray tips 👍
Really informative video… I’ll need this and hopefully an upcoming skimming video to finish our bedroom 😜…just reminding you to keep a space in your diary for me! Loved the video ❤ Mrs Edwards xx
Haha 😂 thank you my beautiful wife ❤️💯
Great video, many thanks.
Do you find air extraction pulls a lot of overspray from gun?
Thank you my friend.. fine atomisation, spraying industrial WB coatings inevitably creates a dust in the air.. yeah the extraction certainly gets that away and out of the area.. coupled with a fan, the whole drying process is significantly improved too.. thanks for watching, appreciate your input.. regards Pete
@@PaintHQ appreciate the swift reply 🤟
@tamarsessions9180 anytime brother 🙏
Hi could you please provide a link to the carpet protection product you use. The one that is felt like with plastic/polythene sheet on the underside.
Many thanks.
Great videos btw.
I’ve just bought a Quickshot so your videos and tips are a godsend !
I’ve invested in an additional 208 tip would you recommend a 206 though for skirting and spindles ?
Jonathon
Hi Jonathon, here’s the link to the fleece / plastic backed floor protection..
amzn.eu/d/iWl6NL9
..Thanks for watching the videos and supporting PaintHQ, it’s very much appreciated my friend 🙏
Great choice with the FFLP 208 💙 Regarding the 206, a couple of things.. it’s only for low viscosity / free flowing materials.. very thin / water like, that’s spray only 👍 Other thing is the UQS supports a minimum .008, as I’ve demonstrated a .006 works very well with the UQS.. but there’s a ‘sweet spot’ to dialling in the pressure.. basically.006 tips take a bit more pressure to get the material through, but too much pressure with the UQS and the prime valve can open (to protect the pump).. if you’re interested I’m happy to help sone more.. I’ll have to make a future video on the UQS and FFLP 106 / 206 tips 🤔 ..Keep in touch.. regards Pete 💙💯
@@PaintHQ Thanks Pete for the link & your advice re the tips.
I’m just about to embark on my first whole house job. Client wants the same colour a slight off white for everything..ceilings, walls & woodwork.
Looking at Johnstone’s Covaplus for ceilings, Johnstone’s Durable Acrylic Matt for walls & Benjamin Moore Scuff X for woodwork. The woodwork is currently an oil based gloss.
I’m going to use the Quickshot for the woodwork. What primer & top coat would you recommend?
It’s quite a small 4 bed for example staircase although covers 3 flights only has 21 spindles so very confident Quickshot will be fine.
Any suggestions would be great
Hi Pete should I always do 2 top coats on trim over primer and rub down between coats?
Hey buddy.. yes my friend - just a denib though, so by the time of your final top coat it’s a gentle wipe over with a very fine grit paper or sanding mesh 👍
Hello, if you would be so kind, how can I dilute the enamel or oil paint? I have a Gracco 360. The question is about the fact that the thinner is quite flammable and the manufacturer says that it is not flammable liquids. I live in Venezuela and we dilute that type of paint with thinner. They have also told me that with kerosene. I need to clarify that, please and thank you.
Hi Pete,thanks again for all the videos very helpful,be lost without you 😂.wondered if you could advise me on the best products to use,I’ve been asked to do a bungalow internal repaint to help out a friend. It was a smokers house so there is some nicotine stains on walls and ceilings,they want it all white ,with a durable Matt for ceilings and walls and the previous oil painted doors and woodwork they want doing in a water based system, they also have some new bare mdf kitchen doors that need I presume sealing ,and then painting in a specific farrow and ball colour, so I was wondering what the best products and the process to use on all of the above, I’m thinking of spraying everything if I don’t loose my bottle, I’ve got a Wagner 350 extra and a graco ultra handheld at my disposal which I bought with all the best intentions but always found an excuse not to use them. Sorry for such a long winded post, thanks again for all advice your channel provides us all. Cheers kenny
Hey Kenny.. thank you for watching and supporting PaintHQ 🙏 I’d recommend a stain blocking primer first, such as Zinsser Cover Stain.. another option, is Johnstones StainAway, whilst I haven’t used this product yet, I am a fan of Johnstones Trade paints 👍 ..that leads me to my next recommendation - Johnstones Acrylic Durable Matt for creating a durable matt finish in white on your walls and ceilings 👍 For woodwork, check out the video description below - I recommend a high build primer (great for sealing mdf), and an enamel topcoat.. by spray beautifully in the Graco HH, with a 208, 308 or 408 FFLP tip 👍 I link to where to purchase the products, and a PaintHQ discount code 👍

Hope this helps my friend, good luck and keep in touch 🙏💙💯 regards Pete
Tanks for getting back to me so promptly Pete, really appreciate your help and advice, if I can get results half as good as yours I'll be over the moon 🌙,
Cheers kenny 👍
@kingkennygk1 you’re very welcome Kenny 🙏 I’m sure you will do a great job my friend 💯 keep in touch.. regards Pete
Pete i needs help. I keeps my tritect t5 only in water based. I need another sprayer for oil based only. Im thinking of cleanshot or gxff cordless for site work. What would you recommend. Thanks mate.
Hey buddy, I’d rule out the QuickShot for site work, even though you’re looking for s dedicated unit for woodwork / joinery (I guess internal doors too).. a Graco cordless 54v Flexvolt unit would be very suitable.. I’m leaning towards a Cordless GXFF, one of my favourite units.. with a built in hopper, smaller 7.5m 3/16” hose and the awesome PC Compact gun, it’s very suited to painting trim.. added advantage over a bigger Cordless 390, is a very cost effective replacement pump (if/when needed).. whilst a 390 is typically more suited to site work, the GX (GXFF) units are extremely reliable and certainly suited to spraying woodwork / oil based paints 👍 ..let me know how you get on, keep in touch.. regards Pete 💙💯
Hi fella great video I'm just a diyer who hates decorating but loves spraying, would you recommend the Graco airless over a fuji or wagner HVLP ? would appreciate your thoughts
Hey buddy, it’s great to hear from a DIYer 💙 ..In short, yes I would recommend a Graco Handheld over the units you mention.. Those units being air (turbine) driven HVLP, Vs the Graco HH being airless - airless is far easier ..you’re not needing to thin your woodwork paints, and balance air / fluid.. if you’re only wanting to spray waterborne paint, you could opt for the cheaper ‘Ultra’ model (the UltraMax in this video is WB and solvent).. or if funds stretch, you could go for the Graco Ultra QuickShot - same airless technology but even easier and quicker to use, and more comparable to a traditional airless hopper fed unit 👍 ..All these suggestions are perfect for smaller projects, woodwork, doors, runs of skirting and also stretches to spraying emulsion on small ceilings and feature walls (which you can’t with HVLP).. hope this helps, let me know how you get on.. happy to help further 💙💯 regards Pete
@@PaintHQ Thanks Pete, will look into the Ultra, appreciate your taking time to respond
@canalboating You’re very welcome my friend 🙏
Hi Pete, hope all is good with you my friend. What is the dewalt machine shown in this video, is it a fan heater or just a fan?
Hey Gareth, I’m all good, hope you are too 🙏 glad you raised that question.. it’s been a great addition - just a fan, variable speed and angle, then the reason I brought it - super portable via its 18v XR battery
I got it from here - “Howe Tools”
www.howetools.co.uk/dewalt-dce512n-18v-portable-fan
@@PaintHQ Thanks for that mate, looks a great price that. How much do you think it speeds up the drying process?
@gareththompson5269 No problem my friend.. speeds up drying quite considerably.. daft as it sounds, even in summer months when you need air to circulate.. helps to create a draw / air flow with a window or door open 👍
How long can you leave tape on once done a coat does second coat soften tape so comes off without peeling paint
Also how soon dk you remove tape after final coat
Thanks
Good question my friend.. there’s no real issues between coats and how the Kip masking performs.. in this example I sprayed woodwork primer one day and topcoats the next.. as for removing masking, I take down relatively soon after I’ve finished ..as it’s drying but not waiting till it’s fully dry - it’s when it’s fully dry you could risk ‘bridging’ of paint.. thanks for your input buddy - happy to help if I can, regards Pete
Pete, you may want to remind those who may overlook to look out for parked cars in the immediate vicinity of the air extractor hose...
Hi Dmitriy, that is a good point my friend, and something I plan to cover in a future video - covering extraction, plus I’m looking at incorporating HEPA / and G4 filters 👍 ..Yeah I do keep an eye on what’s happening outside, with its position and using a dust sheet - but to be honest I’ve always found all the dust is caught in the 5 metre conduit.. it traps in the ridges 👍 Thank you buddy 🙏 regards Pete
@@PaintHQ It is not so much about wet and sticky overspray but even dry powder that was electrostatically stuck to a dark vehicle.
Ive got the ultra with the 5:14 and 4:10 tips came with
Guessing these are for wall using stuff like diamond matt
What is a good tip for trim and internal doors using F&B egg shell
Thanks mate
Hi Richard, yeah 514 for walls / ceilings / spraying emulsion.. just benefits from a little easing by adding a splash or 2 of water.. then 410 will suit F&B eggshell, which is thicker in viscosity because it can be brushed / rolled.. no thinning though with woodwork paints - whereas I use .008 tips such as the 408 because I’m spraying low viscosity / very thin spray only products.. in the video you see it run off the stick like water.. thanks for your input buddy, keep in touch.. regards Pete
Thanks mate
Was nust wondering if the fan with is to wide with a 4 as isnt that a 8" fan
@richardchelton4086 you’re right, fan width could be around 8”, but probably be less / a little squashed.. in theory a 310 is more suited, but you’ll find a 410 could save you purchasing an additional tip.. other thing to note, like in the video ..the paint let out of a .010 orifice is the same across 110, 210, 310, 410 - but the distribution across the fan width is thinner with the bigger 410.. an extreme example is a 110 Vs a 410.. a 110, you would have to move super quick to avoid paint runs 😩 ..a 410 is better, but you need to consider ‘overspray’ ..it’s a balance between the two.. hope this helps, regards Pete
Hi i had a go!!!!
Used the 4:10 with F&B it was ok but I had to keep unblocking it after every few seconds!!
Then next day used the same tip as couldn't find the 5:14 used dulex diamond eggshell on walls and ceiling woukd spray a few seconds then it didnt atomise and kept having to unblock it im wondering if was because paint was to thick i did strain before and added a bit of water maybe not enough
Hello, I also have a ultramaxx and I use it more for wood work on the site. I have a question if it is possible. I tried to exchange a 514 ff lp with a smaller 310 but it does not work well. How much should the primer be diluted and what fitrer mesh I should use? Thanks
Hi Juliano, happy to help if I can my friend.. spraying woodwork / trim, I don’t thin.. I only thin emulsion / latex paint, just a bit to ease and help lower the pressure.. so for woodwork, you would mostly use a 310 tip with the blue 100 mesh filter.. you say it doesn’t work, what happens?.. if your primer is thick, you could benefit from a 312, or 412 .. but usually a paint that can be also brushed / rolled, you use a 310 / 410.. blue 100 mesh for woodwork paints - black 60 mesh for walls / ceilings (emulsion / latex paints) 👍 thank you for your feedback.. keep in touch, regards Pete 💙💯
@@PaintHQ Thanks mate I will try with your advice 😉. You do really good jobs 👍 👏
You’re so kind.. you’ll get there too my friend, keep going, you’ll soon be spraying amazing finishes 🙏👍😄
My graco is eating a lot of paint, need to refill very often. Your graco has the same problem ?
Yeah, airless spraying puts out a lot of material.. the cup soon needs a refill - especially bigger orifice size tips.. fine finish spraying (with low viscosity) paint, I use an .008 to slow down the flow.. then emulsion / latex, a .014.. remember small projects, I pushed the boundaries a little spraying the walls in this video.. typically I spray small runs of woodwork / trim and small ceilings 👍 all the best my friend.. regards Pete 💙💯
