You are the only Professional Painter I key up and watch on RUclips, I just want to extend my gratitude and thank you for the amount of help you've given. Considering, as a 50yr old dude. I'm living in my grandparents parents home built in 1930. Your clear and informative instruction has been almost as good as scripture, meaning Top-Notch info, keep up the good work. Once again Thank you and GOD BLESS.
As a 65+ active woman, revamping my home, giving it a face lift, I am learning so much from you, THANK YOU!! You are a no BS guy, I love that, keep it simple, show/tell what works for what and what does not!! Love your education, sure helps speed up my project! Hugz.
I don't often leave comments in videos, but I think I just learned more about painting than I have in 40 years of being a homeowner. I'm not telling my wife about any of this... you just became my secret weapon! Well done, I'm in...
Thanks for you video. I am from Russia. You guides are very usefull. In Russia there are no a lot of useful items, lik e tips saver. I use plastic bottle with liquid for brakes in it.
I have a Graco X7. Can't go up to a 619. SO I bought a 517 going off your tip of a wider fan and more paint. What a difference between it and the 415 I had on the rough cedar siding. Didn't think it would be that noticeable. I went to painting myself after getting ripped off by the contractor that did our siding by thinning his paint and laying down just enough to change the color (paid for by insurance after a hail storm). The paint was thin enough that one pass with a 2300psi washer removed the entire coat, exposing the older color underneath. Talked to a contractor who told me some painters cheated on insurance jobs to maximize profits as he'd repainted houses that had been painted that way on an insurance claim. Made me wish you were here in Colorado. :)
I'm needing your expertise on how to spray paint. I'm a spray hack at best. You've made some sense of what can be a complex process to a knuckle head. Explaining the tools, etc. Thank you partner.
This video is really helpful! I've been spending too much time fussing around with finding the "perfect" tip for each job. Your 3-tip solution prevents wasted time. Thanks!
Love them HEA tips. Much new construction or repaints here (ect) houses are 3ft apart. The hea prevent me from masking the wall of the neighbors house. Thank you for your time in the video
@@oregonsdank thats part of it yes. They also fan off on the edges better for less hard lines. Less flash when we overlap higher sheen paints like whats going on with exterior paints in my region. They put out close to the same gpm as a standard tip though. They are not to be confused with a fine finish tip though. Graco, Titan, Tritech all also now have fine finish tips fflp (fine finish low pressure) that go WAY up in size. 6 21 in some cases. Not all fine finish are low pressure but many new ones are. Shooting a 3 story house thats 4 feet from another 3 story house, these low pressure tips are worth the weight in gold. I dont mask the neughbors house. I can also get my gun a lot closer to the wall. Small pumps can now run tips, and work half as hard. They literally extend the life of packings. I can mask less, which is less man hours. Run 12" paper on a dormer and haul ass.
Graco FFLP 518, 414, 310. No exactly the same, but they work for me. I sprayed a large interior ceiling today with a 5ft wand equipped with a Graco clean shot and had extremely light paint fall. You really give great advice and I enjoy your videos. Thanks.
Very practical in your reasoning and explanations, and very easy to follow. You're making this paint expedition a walk in the park for us. I'm feeling somewhat indebted to you for sure. You're likey new best friend
ive always used a 623 blue tip for ceilings and a 517 for walls but the way i learned for walls was to always backroll it in so i always like a old worn out 517 thats all blown out to do walls with cuz we back roll it anyways
Here's a question for ya, hope you see this, there's a home with lots of interior trim, 1" outside corner trim, 2" and 3" trim around all doors, baseboard and next to ceiling. Should I use a smaller fan tip like 110 for that? i've never used smaller than 210 before, is it worth getting that tip size?
What would the difference be between a 310 versus a 619 for walls? I am going to paint the walls, trim, and baseboards all the same color, so which tip would be best for that? Since I would want to get it done as quickly and efficiently as possible, would the 619 be the better tip? I am learning SO much from you! I want to be loaded with as much knowledge as possible before using my first air sprayer.
I have a question about the colors of the tips. I'm gonna by an airless "Wagner control pro 250M" and in that package I'll get tip 517 and 311. What confuses me so much is that they are both the same color (green) so does that mean that the 311 is NOT for fine finish quality? Does it have to be both a lower number and another color to be fine finish? I really hope that someone can help me with this question before buying the spray gun. (I am not a professional- more of a DIY:er).
I have been using a 515 tip in a Grayco X7 and I cannot get the overspray under control. When I get the pressure high enough to make a proper spay pattern (no tails), I have an awful amount of overspray. What am I doing wrong?
I think it's pump size depending I have a 5.7 liter free flow and placing a 6/19 I sick the bucket dry within seconds 😂😂 You might want to ad diffirent gun filters too for fine finish or exterior
Man you’re the man amigo I been enquirer about what to use for my spray gun n every body has a different concept on what tips to get tank you very much amigo
Great videos! Thank you. Just picked up a Graco Project painter plus and plan on painting furniture, cabinets and interior walls/trims/doors. Graco says to go with a 315, but you are recommending a 310. Is there a significant difference between a 310 v 315? Should I be concerned if my sprayer can accept a 310?
Thanks for the tips. I was trying to look up the high production 619 tip you were recommending for interior and closets but the only 619 tips I could find were HEA. Was that a mistake or am I just not looking properly?
Can I use a fine finish tip like a 310 to spray interior latex? It's kind of thick paint, TDS recommends 0.015 to 0.021'. or should fine finish tips be reserved for thinner enamel paints only?
Thanks for another in-depth video! Question! I have the Wagner pro 130, the 515 tip is a bit much in stairwell/ small areas. I was looking at the Wagner/ titan tips(chart) and I’d like to tame this wild beast! So, I’d like to use a 313 or 311 to do trim/molding. Should I when using 311/313 use a viscosity funnel to thin it out at all? Thanks again and stay gold✌️
Are Those 310-510 FF-Tips, Considering the Orifice Size, Will They Work For Latex And Oil As Well ? Have Read a lot of articles that say .10 to .13 Orifice sizes are suited more for stains and oil Applications ?
@@bailey2624 So To Be Clear, Orifice sizes 0.10 to 0.13 can be used (Sprayed) with regular latex paint on interior? The Orifices are not too small for Flat Or Eggshell Interior Paints ?? I Was under the impression those Orifice sizes would not spray properly when using thicker paints?
@@deaton123able if the tips clog to much you would need to water the paint down with distilled water. If it's really thick stuff then stick with. 0.14 or higher
Is a 310 tip good for spraying the high build laquers that you mentioned on another video. I’m a DIY trying to spray my bare wood maple kitchen cabinets
Apreciate all you videos ! I have a cuestion i am using a graco x5 and the tip get stock so i turned and turned again but after 1 minute again and again , what your recomend? Thanks for you help stay well
I tried running the fine finish tip on my sprayer using regular superpaint. Using the HEA tip it worked fine, as usual. But I put the fine finish tip in and it'll almost bog down and jam. Then makes it's incredibly hard to remove the tip. Do you know what it could be? Using a Titan 440
Change your gun filter to a finer mesh size and make sure you change the seal that comes with the tip which sits in the guard, it has a different orifice size. Especially important with LPFF graco tips. Just my observations.
Hey man what's up? My name is Ray I'm from Tennessee don't hold that against me ....I always see you using the Titans but I haven't really seen you use any Gracos I have only used one Titan and it was a powrtwin to spray heavy rubberized coatings on a farm for doctor who had a huge cattle farm on the side.. he had some big feed sheds needed the roofs water proofed but it was crazy how much paint it pushed anyway just wondered if you had a preference between the two brands cause I've always used Graco and needing to get a new one soon was thinking about trying out the titan
I am a beginner at this and managed to spray a bit too much paint in two corners which has now got an broken egg shell look. What's the best way to fix this?
So HEA tips run around 800 psi, should I turn down the psi on the Fine Finish tips as well? I tried out 2 on a large wainscoting project im on but it was just spitting like crazy
Please tell me how to get rid of spits with extensions..I noticed that you use them spraying doors and trim except complicated trim...I hate the spits.. I use a graco 395 and tried a tip extension and could not get rid of the spits even if I kept on the trigger...
Im A handyman. Dont do a lot of painting. For so i have a cheap small airless. Spray painter noticed that on ceilings specially with a 515 tip i get fingering marks. Is that because my sprayer is not powerfull enough?
Your videos are top notch my friend. Watching a great majority of them have answered many of my questions except one....So I have a question for you You’re painting a wall with two colors one on the top and the other starting n the mistake and down to the bottom. Which tape do you use to mask for the second color and how long would you wait until applying the tape onto the freshly painted surface. Thanks for all your information.
they make like 1/2 a dozen colors of tapes now, it doesn't matter, (yellow, blue, pink, orange, green and....regular old fashioned beige). The only difference is how long you can leave them on w/o pulling paint off (> or up to 60days!), NOT how quickly you can put them on. Pick whatever you want, whatever's cheapest or you happen to have lying around. To your second question "freshly painted surface", wait till it's no longer "fresh" haha. As soon as it's dry, your g2g.

I've noticed you are using a spray wand without the "clean shot"???
How do you deal with spitting?
Do you thin down water-based paints at all when painting with the fine finish tip?
The interior trim paint I've been looking at all say .015-.017 tips. How are you running a 310, which is a 0.010 for trim?
I have been using a 515 tip in a Grayco X7 and I cannot get the overspray under control. When I get the pressure high enough to make a proper spay pattern (no tails), I have an awful amount of overspray. What am I doing wrong?
