Hey Beija 😊 ..Great to hear from you 💯..Thanks for the kind words 👏
Thanks for the video ive shared on the XVLP Owners group on FB
Thank you Colin, I really value your support 💯👍👏 ..regards Pete
Great video, we have the same unit, it makes so much difference having the turbine warm,
Thanks Adrian 👏👏👏 ..Yeah definitely, it’s worth it 👍 Thanks for your input my friend.. Pete
Stunning production - Beautifully done. Spraying, for me, is like herding kittens. The prep is so foreign to a brush and roller guy... Am about to start a big job this week and your vid was brilliant. Thanks.
Thank you my friend, really appreciate your kind words of support.. and I like the ‘herding kittens’ analogy 😆
..Good luck on your job, reach out anytime if you have any questions and I’ll always do my best to help and advise 🙏 keep in touch.. regards Pete
@@PaintHQ Thanks Pete - I was pretty shocked to see the air filter completely caked with paint after less than a litre of paint had gone through - I have a 2 rooms of fitted shelving to get through and am spending as much time cleaning the machine as I am spraying 😅 It's a lot of woodwork, maybe 50 four foot shelves... They all got a good dose of Farrow and Ball primer undercoat after knotting and then a couple of thinned topcoats of Little Green Intelligent Satin after a rub down.
There's significantly less paint on the work than there would be if I had brushed 3 coats on, and I'm not adding any more. I thought about it, but the client's happy enough.
Not convinced I'll be doing much more spraying - I reckon it's the future, but it's just such a palaver!
Thanks for the answer. I will have a look at the caporal then
You’re very welcome, anytime 👍
Outstanding Pete Outstanding
Ah thank you kind sir.. very much appreciated 😆
Super pete. Only seen this now 😁. Was thinking of buying the 3500 for doors, spindles and trim etc. in occupied homes. What do you think or would you suggest something different . Cheers mate
Hey Mick.. the FC3500 is a great machine for the money.. They are a little tricky to perfect, getting the right mix of air and material.. with the extra air (XVLP), they’re able to atomise thicker materials Vs the restricted pressure of HVLP.. the trade off is the air can blow the masking off.. like I say a great machine to have, especially the ability to spray small quantities of material.. but I’d still choose to spray doors, trim with airless (fine finish tips). Even spindles, you can master, moving quick with a small tip.. just the masking is crucial but even with XVLP / HVLP the areas still need masking, but the speed you can go slower and with that you’ve got a bit more control.. hope that helps, keep in touch my friend and let me know if I can help guide you further.. regards Pete 🎨
@@PaintHQ thanks pete
Bought a 3500 XVLP 2 years ago and have been frightened to use it .
Hey Peter.. The 3500 is a great machine.. Go for it, you won’t regret it, especially using the brown FineSpray head (or the blue NAST) head.. If you’re able to, start with Caparol NAST haftprimer and PU-Satin, they’re sprayable products.. I’m happy to help anytime. Regards Pete
Thank you brother!
Anytime 🙌
Awesome video mate, I might try using my Wagner xvlp 3500 with some water based gloss with your approach and settings
Thank you buddy 👏 Yeah go for it 💯 The advantage of XVLP is with extra air, decorative / architectural paints should go through it.. Caparol NAST paints you’ll have no problem at all.. With higher viscosity paints, you may need to up the air to break up and atomise the material.. I just try to keep the air as low as I possibly can get away with to achieve a wetter finish that levels out nicely, especially the final coat.. a paint conditioning product called Floetrol can help ease waterborne paints.. Hope this helps, let me know how you get on 😊👍
PaintHQ cheers mate, we don’t have caparol in Australia but I will test out a couple of different products first , I have tried taubmans alkyd water based gloss but I’m not that happy with the finish I get when I sprayed it, I have tried floetrol but I prefer the dulux hot weather extender because it’s very thin. Thanks again I really appreciate your help
You’re very welcome 👍 Anytime my friend 😆
Great video pete i also have the fc5000 great little machine !
Thanks for the feedback buddy, great to hear from you and have your input 👏👍 ..All the best.. Pete 😊
@@PaintHQ how would you rate the deltec gold is it similar to tesa yellow ?
Hey buddy, good question 👏 ..Yeah it’s the same as Tesa in terms of a precision tape. But I have to say, in my opinion I rate Deltec better than Tesa, both Deltec Gold and the Deltec Sensitive.. I rate them over Tesa, both in performance and colour of the tape👌 By colour, I find it easier to see the line that I want to mask with the Deltec tapes 👍💯 Hope that helps my friend.. take care, regards Pete
@@PaintHQ Cheers Pete you probably know but deltec have a buy 1 box get 1 free on the gold tape 😉
That’s great, thanks for the information my friend 👍😊
Great video. Recently purchased the 3500 as a DIYer. Struggling to get such a clean and consistent spray pattern like yours. Gun runs great for 5 minutes and then maybe spits every now and then with a different pattern / volume for another minute then back to better pattern. Will give the extended turbine heating a try. Normally give it 2-3 minutes but on a cold day it's probably not enough.
Thanks for watching and your feedback, I really do appreciate the support.. I think I know what you’re referring to and it can be frustrating. That can happen when the material is too low in viscosity (could be thinned too much). If it’s the same as what you’re experiencing, I have that problem with clear lacquer. It’s the same as what happens when putting water through the machine when cleaning. It will pulse because it can’t build adequate pressure in the cup.. I find It can also happen if the cup is too full.. Hope this helps.. Keep in touch my friend.. Regards Pete.
@@PaintHQ thanks for the feedback. Really appreciate it. I had actually thought it was too viscous, so have been heating and adding ~10% water. I find it's a case of practice practice practice and learn from the mistakes and advice people share. So far I've only Sprayed Allcoat exterior and today used Tikurilla everal so lots to learn.
Yeah it’s a great and rewarding journey when it goes right 😆 ..I’ll always help if I can 💯 Pete
Top job as always mate. I use a gentilin compressor for my fine finishing but if i didn't go for that, i always had my eye on the xvlp tbh!
Hey buddy 😆 Always great to hear from you my friend.. Great choice, the Gentilin is definitely the compressor to go for 💯👏 ..Have you also gone Air Assisted Airless? Or is AAA something you’re considering in future?
@@PaintHQ i am strongly considering it. Atm though i think i will wait until i have a better airless. I think i mentioned that i am considering getting an sf23 this summer because i am spraying so much! When i do i will defo look into aaa. I am not sure it is worth it with the gx21. :)
Yeah I see what you mean, no rush like you say.. You’re right, a diaphragm pump is the right way to go, to provide a constant pressure when spraying at low pressures.. You’re doing well my friend, exciting times 👏👏😆
@@PaintHQ thanks mate! Got a mad wave of spraying work this summer which is amazing. I aint ina rush to tool up, just enjoying spraying tbh! Look forward to your next video. I just quoted for some exterior bifold doors yesterday, so i hope i get that one :)
Hi, Pete.
Many thanks for all the quality videos and simple advice. I carry out property maintenance and every now and then have to do a few smaller jobs that might benefit from a sprayer, like built in cupboards/bookshelves and small room trim and walls. I don't want a complicated setup and have narrowed it down to either the Graco Ultra or Wagner 3500. I already have a cheaper Wagner hvlp and hate the mess the turbine makes when spraying in the workshop, and favour the Graco for that reason.I would dearly loved to be pushed over the edge by a professional with experience with both. What would you recommend?
Many thanks for your time!
Hey Edward, thanks for reaching out, happy to give my opinion if it can help.. Apologies if it’s something you already know, but just to clarify the Wagner 3500 and Graco handheld, whilst both handheld, they’re different technologies.. the Wagner is HVLP (or XVLP) is based on air but low pressure to atomise the paint and the Graco is airless (no air but much higher pressure).. Airless is much easier to master, choosing the right tip and pressure and you’re soon spraying.. HVLP / XVLP is getting the balance between viscosity (you’ll have to thin most decorative coatings), fluid flow and air.. I find a big frustration with XVLP (Wagner 3500), is the ‘extra’ air can easily blow your masking off, then the amount of air can cause ‘orange peel’ or a rough finish if you’re not getting the balance right.. Plus you mention spraying the odd wall, so yeah definitely airless is the way to go.. I am a fan of the Graco Handheld, it’s been invaluable to me on the job site.. so yeah I’d go for this out of the 2.. however it’s important to understand these machines are designed for small projects and touch ups.. if funds allow, check out a GXFF, you’ll get the true airless experience.. perfect for fine finish spraying and can spray emulsion no problem if required.. here’s a link so you can see what I mean.. www.sprayman.co.uk/product/graco-gxff
Hope this helps my friend, keep in touch, I’m happy to help in future all I can.. regards Pete
Been watching your channel for a while.Brilliant may I say.Bought the 5000 last year for a job with the nast head and pu satin after looking to getting into spraying.So happy I did.Faster.less muscle fatigue and superior results.Was scepticle at first with time for masking up for overspray but can say it's so much faster than brush and roller.The only downside to the 5000 is DONT use flimsy polythene to cover any area near the project as it blows the dried paint onto the newly painted surface.Newbie mistake.Keep up the good videos lad.Have you tried spraying kolorbond through the machine or will it be better through an HVLP?
Hi Richard, really appreciate your comment and kind words of support.. So glad to hear you’ve taken the step into spraying and had success.. yeah the FC5000 is a great machine, especially with the NAST head and the Caprarol system, the results really are excellent.. very good point about the plastic, you can’t comprehend how much ‘extra‘ air is blown out the machine.. not great for blowing the masking.. but great for atomising higher viscosity materials.. it’s a trade off though, the extra air with not enough material flow can cause a dry / rough finish.. whilst in theory the FC5000 could spray Kolorbond, I feel the low viscosity consistency could cause a stop/start spray scenario.. have you noticed when flushing with water when cleaning, the spray pulses (stops/starts)?.. it’s because the material is so thin it causes a problem pressurising the pot.. I didn’t want to take that risk with Kolorbond.. Have you seen this video?

The conventional HVLP setup with the regulated pressure cup is just a joy to spray with.. no concerns of pulsing, you can spray at any angle and the air from the compressor is actually not that high to atomise the material..
Great to have you contributing to the channel.. ask questions or provide feedback anytime and I’ll always get back to you.. please subscribe if you’ve not all ready.. take care and keep in touch my friend.. regards Pete 🎨💯
HI PETE THANKS FOR ALL YOUR EXCELLENT UPLOADS IM LEARNING SO MUCH FROM YOUR CHANNEL, IVE BEEN PAINTING FOR SOME YEARS NOW, BUT HAVE BAD BACK AND ROLLING BIG CEILINGS IS KILLING ME, SO I WAS THINKING ABOUT GETTING THE WAGNER Airless Sprayer Control Pro 250 M , NO PEP WORK NO RUBBING DOWN JUST HOPE CUSTOMER IS NOT LOOKING , JUST SMASHING OUT SOME EMULSION, DO YOU THINK THAT THAT SPRAYER WOULD BE ANY GOOD, ?????? THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. ALL THE BEST FROM ROBERT LONDON UK.
Awesome video thanks for the tips. Do you know what dilution is required for spraying with Dulux Satin Wood Paint or best settings for the fine brown nozzle. I found it was creating small splat spots of paint on edges of spray pattern. Any help would be appreciated. I've only used the HEA Wagner for spraying emulsion mist coats and top coats, so this is new for me.
Hello my friend, thanks for the feedback.. I’ve not experienced spraying Dulux Satin Wood, but I will do my very best to help.. before any dilution, try warming the paint.. using very hot water in a bowl or pot and submerge the metal spray pot containing the paint.. let it sit for about 20 minutes, warning the paint like this is a legitimate way of lowering the paint viscosity.. Also run the turbine on speed ten for about 10 minutes (not spraying anything, take the head off).. this is to warn the air.. from the symptoms you describe, the heavy splutters is the paint not atomising.. try lowering the fluid flow a touch and increasing the air.. if warming the paint is still not helping, next try adding a splash of Floetrol, it’s a paint conditioner.. it’s a well known product used for when brushing paint to help levelling out, it can help with paint flow when spraying.. last resort would be to then add a splash of water.. just a splash.. also, just bear in mind that some products don’t spray well (even airless), spraying XVKP is great but can be tricky.. for straight out the can spraying, Caparol NAST products are great 👍 ..Keep in touch and let me know how you get on.. regards Pete
Thank you so much for your quick reply. I will give this a go tomorrow and will check out the other paint you suggested too. Will let you know how I got on.
You’re welcome anytime.. good luck my friend 🙏
Hi Pete, I use the haftprimer all the time but usually follow with johnos aqua guard when it comes to satin finish. I was thinking of trying this the other day when I ordered a 10L primer. My question is, have you used the pu gloss from caparol at all? I've never sprayed any gloss only rolled it on. Usually it's johnos aqua gloss as I've found that's got the most sheen but it kackers your brushes up. I know there's tikkurila gloss and never tried that either. What's your opinion buddy. Thanks
Hey buddy, good question.. I was always a fan of Johnos Aqua in my brush / roller days.. the alkyd ‘hybrid’ paints (I believe) will have the higher sheen for a waterborne.. 90%.. Tikkurila Helmi is acrylic based and 80%, I’ve not used the Caparol PU-Gloss but I’m thinking it will be similar to Helmi.. I did very much rate Teknos Futura Aqua 90, again an alkyd.. I was very impressed with the way it performed spraying and the high sheen 👌
This is Teknos in action..

Thank you Matt 👍 Appreciate your input my friend, great to hear from you 💯
Hey Pete hope you're well. Iv'e been busy using my sprayers! Had some great results with all your tips on the airless you legend! Been using the Q5 the last few day. I'm finding I'm thinning the primer a lot to get between 30-40 secs as recommend by manual. I'm using a 1.8 cap, current ratio is 16 oz primer to 7 oz water, that's 40 secs through the viscosity cup! Do you think i need to thin as much with the 1.8 cap? Seems like I'm having to do more coats because the paint has been thinned so much. Results have been good though. Haven't sprayed a top coat yet, people are saying a 1.5 cap for top coats?
Hey buddy, really good to hear from you and great news you’re having success.. I’m really pleased I’ve been able to help.. yeah that sounds like a lot of thinning.. what’s the product(s) you’re spraying.. I tend to stick to a 1.5 (but I’m spraying low viscosity materials).. I have moved up to a 1.8 but do prefer the 1.5.. I think my regulated pressure pot helps, allowing dedicated air the gun.. have you tried the product first without thinning?.. before thinning, my next tactic is to warm the material.. see if you can submerge your cup in hot / off the boil water.. ‘bain Marie’ style 😆 ..next id add a good drop of Floetrol (it’s a paint conditioner, traditionally used to help brushed paint level out).. lastly I’d ease with a drop of water, but I’d wouldn’t really want to add ‘too much’.. hope this helps a little my friend.. keep in touch, and let mr know what you’re looking to spray 👌👍😆 ..regards Pete
@@PaintHQ Thanks so much mate I'm spraying Zinnser 123 primer, then going on with Everal Aqua 10. I'll try shooting some with no thinning today, I thought it seemed a lot! I'll try warming and adding a little water. Flowtrol is in my amazon basket 😃
Ah nice, great products 💯 ..Good luck my friend, I’m sure you’ll have success👌👍😆
@@PaintHQ this morning I done just under 10% water plus warmed. Sprayed lovely. Cheers bro 👌
Great news, glad it went well buddy 👍 10% sounds more like it.. Floetrol could help, if the finish just needs a hand to level off.. just a splash, a bit of warming and you could try with no water.. regards Pete
Nicely done Pete, you never mentioned the high build primer you used 😬? I’m gonna give the caparol a try at some point. I bought myself a HVLP system this week actually and I’m pleased with it.
Hey James, always great to hear from you my friend 💯 ..Yeah I usually use and highly recommend the use of Caparol Haftprimer, especially in conjunction with the PU-Satin.. It has very good adhesion properties.. In this instance I chose to use a high build primer on the bare wood, to ‘soften’ the grain. It’s a manufacturer primer (by AkzoNobel) with the same low viscosity as the Caparol NAST system.. I plan to do a video explaining about the manufacturer coatings I like to spray versus the decorative architectural coatings that I’m also a fan of.. Which HVLP system have you just purchased? Very exciting, I’m pleased for you buddy 👏👏👏 ..The Caparol NAST products will go through it very nicely, without thinning 👍
@@PaintHQ I’ve not used any of the caparol products as yet but i wanna give them a try this year. The haftprimer has budding reviews too, and i can see that benefiting me with priming furniture and things alike. I saved for quite a while for a HVLP system and opted for the Graco pro comp! I’m using it this weekend, and I’m having absolutely perfect results. I just don’t know why i waited this long to get setup spraying? As much as I enjoy hand painting kitchens ( and there still a market for it ) I’m seeing the benefits of also spraying them too. Likewise Pete, always a pleasure hearing from you too dude. Hope you’re recovering well too mucka 🤛🏻
I’m really pleased for you, you’ve invested in some great kit and producing excellent work 💯 I value your support my friend 👊👌😆
@@PaintHQ hey Pete hope you're well buddy. Will these products go through the Qtech Q5 without thinning? Epic work as always!
Hello my friend, I’m good thank you.. Yeah the NAST products are low viscosity / thin sprayable products.. they’ll go through a HVLP system nicely 👍 .The Caparol system is excellent 😆 ..Great to hear from you.. regards Pete 🎨💯
Have you sprayed regular Haftrpimer and PU Satin through the fc 5000? I can't get hold of the NAST system where I am.
I have my friend, it’s a more thicker viscosity (thixotropic).. to be honest it doesn’t spray so well through XVLP.. you can help it by warming the paint in the metal pot, and adding a good splash of Floetrol (a paint conditioner).. thinning with water is my last resort 👍 regards Pete
@@PaintHQ thanks. On the Floetrol, I’ve used it a few times and hardly saw a difference. Have done plenty of different ratios and thinning with water but it still drags with a brush. Mainly wanted to be able to roll flat doors and lay off and it just dragged - is that to do with the temperature? Applied well within the limits but is warming the paint first the right thing to do? Thanks
Hello brother Peter, i have a question for you, is the Finefinish sprayhead the same as the NAST ???? Greetings from Holland ✌✌✌
Hey brother 👊 Great to hear from you 🇳🇱👏💯 ..That’s a very good question.. I believe the air horns are different on the blue NAST head, compared to the brown Finefinish. Resulting in a narrower squashed fan. The NAST head is designed to work with the Caparol NAST system of paint to mean reduced overspray / fog.. in my opinion, if you had the brown Finefinish head, I wouldn’t pay for the additional NAST head.. I would however give the Caparol NAST haftprimer and PU-Satin a go, and fire it through the brown head if that’s what you had.. or use it with any HVLP sprayer 👍👏 Hope that helps my friend.. Regards Pete 👊 .. 🇳🇱👏👏👏
Thanks for youre great advice , thanks and have a good day, may god/Allah bless you ✌✌✌
👍👏😆
Hello mate lovely work that's the caparol pu satin like to spray? Is it a good finished and what would you recommend?
Hey Aaron.. I’d choose the NAST version of the PU-Satin, if looking to spray HVLP or XVLP.. it’s viscosity is lower, designed to spray straight out the can.. I do rate Caparol Haftprimer and PU topcoat.. buy the satin is a little flat in sheen.. my current go to is AkzoNobel, WP136 primer and enamel topcoat.. again both are spray only, no thinning required.. also sprays airless with .008 tips 900 psi with Graco FF LP tips..
WP136 Water Based Primer / Edge Sealer

AkzoNobel Aqualit (Supercryl) Waterborne Enamel Topcoat
holmanpaints.co.uk/interior-wood/169-akzo-nobel-aqualit-waterborne-enamel-topcoat.html
..you get a beautiful cabinet like satin finish ..and very cost effective, especially in 5 litre cans..
Comes in white, then if needing tinting both primer and top coat can be colour matched off any colour chart..
Also in a clear lacquer, coats oak beautifully.. it’s a sanding sealer, just denib the first 1 or 2 coats of grain raise.. dries super quick, I spray 3 or 4 coats depending on the amount of grain fill..

@@PaintHQ amazing mate, I appreciate it 👌
Anytime my friend 🙏
First time watching your video is the xvlp 5000 good for walls I'm thinking of buying it but I can't seem to find out if will do walls or if it's ok for site work not that I want to do site work but my son might borrow it for odd jobs he gets
Thanks
Thanks for watching my friend.. I do like the XVLP units and the theory behind them for fine finish HVLP style spraying.. I’m afraid it’s just not a feasible option for spraying walls.. whilst there’s a ‘wall spraying’ head attachment (I have tried it), it’s not up to the job spraying emulsions / or any thicker materials.. to spray emulsions / walls I recommend airless, in fact airless is far easier to setup and atomise paint Vs HVLP / XVLP and is quicker, much more suited for site work too 👍 hope this helps.. happy to help any way I can 🙏 regards Pete
Yes it did
thanks for a quick reply I do own a Wagner 150 airless never taken out of the box as yet think I might have a look at it
Not sure if it's any good for a DIY person.
Once again thanks
Danny
You’re very welcome Danny, anytime 🙏
How long did this take? Done in a day? Great video btw 👍🏼
Thanks for your question my friend.. Took three days.. Day one, prep.. Day two, primer and first top coat.. Day three, final coat.. Sorry, I should have made that clear in the video. Basically when you see me warm the turbine, it’s a new day 😆 ..Thanks for watching my friend, really appreciate your feedback and support.. regards Pete
Hiya mate how much do you have to water down joncryl from Johnston to go through a 3500. Thanks
Hi Brian.. Those who know me will vouch that (during my brush / roller days 😊) For an off the shelf product (from Brewers), I’ve always spoke highly about the Johnstones water based paints, especially the Aqua undercoat and Satin.. However, for me it doesn’t spray nice.. With the spraying of any trim paints, I only add water as a last resort.. It will go through XVLP with more air, but before adding any water try a splash of Floetrol paint conditioner.. And warm your paint 👍 ..if you don’t have your own method for warming paint, you could buy a screw on lid for the tin, (they don’t cost much).. Then submerge just below the lid in water that’s just boiled.. Warming decorative paint will lower the viscosity and help XVLP spraying massively... With Caparol NAST paint, you won’t have that problem. It will spray out the tin 👍 Sorry for long answer.. hope some of it helps my friend 😆 Pete
Why did you select the NAST head? Is it a special purpose head for a particular paint type?
Hello my friend.. great question.. The NAST head was developed and designed to be used with Caparol NAST paints (haftprimer primer and PU-Satin top coat), this NAST combination is to significantly reduce / eliminate fog and overspray.. the NAST head can still spray other paints with potentially less fog / overspray.. but my opinion is if you already had the brown fine finish head, that too produces excellent results.. especially with Caparol NAST paints 👍👌😆 ..Keep in touch, I’m happy to help if I can 👍 Regards Pete 🎨💯
Hi great video, how come you do the middlecoat dryer please? Got the 3500 and still trying to get a good consistent finish.
Hey Steve, thanks for the feedback.. it’s purely to speed up the process. I’m not too concerned about the middle coat. For me I like to push the boundaries on the final coat.. I still want decent atomisation but I want the material to spray wetter and know that the product will suck in and dry nice.. biggest tip I could give to get the setup right is to make notes, so you know a starting point and if you could drop a little air and up the material a bit more next time.. Hope this helps.. the 3500 is a great machine.. What product have you struggled with buddy?.. regards Pete
I usually spray trim Dulux diamond satin and get on well with that but have been try bm advance and pu gloss on a couple of projects and just can’t seem to get a smooth finish. I don’t want to thin paint much more than around 8% and warming paint and head before spraying. Fine head. I just can’t seem to work out whether I should be going multiple light coats or 1 heavy. Sometimes it comes out ok in parts but I but like the other comment seems to vary in and off throughout other jobs even though trying to keep paint warm and adjusting
Hey Steve, just answered a similar question 😊 .. A constant stop start could happen if the cup cannot build pressure.. If the material is too thin (low viscosity), or perhaps cup too full.. This happens when spraying water / like the clean up.. I know it’s frustrating.. BM Advance is a lovely paint, like I find with spraying any product, or any system including airless, if the coat is too light an application it’s a rougher finish.. BM Advance will level off and pull in lovely.. Yeah don’t thin too much, because you’re spraying a BM product, you could try BM Extender.. Floetrol is another paint conditioner you can add to ease the flow.. In conjunction with heating the paint and turbine 👍 ..Really do hope this helps.. keep in touch my friend.. regards Pete.
Hi, What are your thoughts on thinning pu as I believe officially 5% which I’ve been trying to stick to but wondered if 10-12% would cause much harm to the paint which is what I tend to see others do and probably would help some of my issues around atomisation. Also do you usually use owetrol or similar as wondering if that’s better than water in terms of needing less? Thanks again
Sorry Steve I hit send by accident, hope you get this reply in full... I do a ‘worm test’ 😊 ..You’ll see me in my videos where I stir the paint, then lift the stirrer out and swirl the paint as it runs off the stick.. for the right viscosity for XVLP (and HVLP), the ‘worm’ should disappear pretty instantly.. I’d then warm the paint first before anything else, unless it needs a lot of work.. then add Floetrol or Benjamin Moore Extender.. then if it still needs some work, I’d add 5% water.. last resort for me would be to up the water to 10%.. if I’m having to thin that much, I’d rather switch to Airless spraying and spray un-thinned... let me know if you get the full reply.. I’ll help you all I can 👍 Regards Pete
Thinking of getting 495 graco just wondering we're did you get your 395 sprayer from cheers
Hey buddy, thanks for your comment.. Good choice on the 495, I like the sound of the FastFlush cleaning feature. I believe it also comes with the Contractor PC gun as standard.. kinda wish I’d stretched to the 495 😊 ..get it touch with Mike at SpraymanUK, his technical knowledge of Graco and all things spraying is in my opinion the best in the industry. He also wouldn’t sell you something you don’t need 👍 Let me know how you get on, I’m envious my friend 😊👍 ..Pete
Cheers buddy 👍
Hello. We sell PU Satin,without the inscription NAST? Do you think you can use it? Thanks
Thank you 🙏
hi pete hope you are all good 👍 ... i need to pick your brains i got airless sprayer wagner 350r to do walls ceiling ect but few people have asked me to update the look of there wardrobes and kitchen units ...what sort of machine will i need to get the job done on serton amount?
Hey Gareth, I’m really good thank you my friend... nowadays Airless certainly can spray a fine finish, especially with the advent of the fine finish spray tips.. in fact I’ve got a video coming out tomorrow (Sunday, 8am) featuring the Control Pro 250M and spraying a fine finish.. might be worth you taking a look, I’d appreciate your feedback 👍
@@PaintHQ awesome thank very much looking forward to it my friend 👍
Hi Pete 👋 can I use Graco 9,5 hvlp to spray caparol haft and satin Nast ?
Hi Rafal, great to hear from you.. Yeah, the Caparol NAST products will spray nicely with no thinning required 👍 ..regards Pete
@@PaintHQ thanks mate 👍 i have big victorian front door to spray . Never used caparol before but paint shack recommended it. Have a great day 👋
Ah nice, you’ll do a great job.. let me know how it goes, perhaps you could send a picture via Instagram 😆 ..regards Pete
Can you tell me how long this process took from start to finish? 😎
Hey Darren, thanks for your question my friend.. 3 days.. first day was prepping and masking (sanding, caulking the carpentry and glazing beads).. day two the timber was primed and sanded again, then had the first top coat.. final day, day three, another coat and remove masking 👍 Do you own an XVLP machine or any spray equipment?. If you ever have any questions, I’ll always do my best to help.. Regards Pete 😊
@@PaintHQ yes I have a Titan 440. Graco ultra max, only just starting to realise that spraying makes sense on big jobs. Thank you.
You’ve got some great kit my friend.. I’ve always been tempted by the Titan 440 👍 ..Just takes practice and confidence and you find yourself wanting to spray more and more.. the results are awesome and with an effective process can be quicker.. keep in touch my friend, it’s always great to hear from you 👊😊
hi there where do you get your different tape from
Hey Graham, thanks for your question buddy.. I use MyPaintbrush 👍 An excellent speedy service, cost effective products and if you’re using their website, it’s easy to navigate 👌 ..Regards Pete
@@PaintHQ hi pete thanks for advice graham
You’re very welcome my friend.. Any questions in future, I’ll do my best to answer 👍
The PU Satin what does the NAST stand for Pete
NebelArme Spritz Technologie 😆 ..You was testing me there wasn’t you 🤣 ..I knew it was a German acronym, but I had to look it up.. It means mist free technology 👌👍
@@PaintHQ can this product be sprayed just as well through a Graco HVLP and is it better than the standered PU
Good question my friend.. Yes most definitely, the NAST version is a spray ready product in terms of viscosity and will go through HVLP 👍
@@PaintHQ cheers my friend your an absolute gentleman I’ll get it ordered 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You’re very welcome.. let me know how you get on 👍😊
prime and sand before caulking
Thanks for the tip my friend, very much appreciate your input 💯 ..Regards Pete
Who was the joiner 🤦🏼♂️
I’m not sure my friend 😆 ..regards Pete
I hate this machine, i have 3 of them and they break within days of eachother
Hey buddy, thanks for your input.. That’s some bad luck you have had ☹️ ..I’ve found the design to be pretty much indescribable.. I know with the FC3500 (turbine built into the handle), if the gun o-ring is not maintained, (like I show in the video) paint can tip back into the turbine.. you wouldn’t get that problem with the FC5000, with it’s separate turbine.. is this what happened to yours? The turbine broke?.. great to hear from you my friend.. do you use any other sprayers? Regards Pete 👌👍😊
@@PaintHQ the 5000 just stop spraying paint, i clean it after each time and stil the same problem, I Now spray With the Hea pp90 extra skid and Its great machine
Ah ok, when the gun becomes problematic, the needle can be removed by unscrewing the handle, this enables the needle to thoroughly be cleaned. It could solve your problem...
Nice airless machine you have, glad you’re liking it.. I bet you’re a fan of the HEA tips 👌 ..Check out my videos on spraying with HEA tips, there’s a ceiling and the latest video does a comparison against TriTech 616.. I’m liking them more and more, so clean to spray with.. all the best buddy, thanks for your comments 💯
@@PaintHQ Thanks, I did know from the needle but it diddent help. So that’s why I Now have te pp90
Cool my friend.. Airless spraying is great 💯👍 Let me know if I’m ever able to offer any help.. Take care.. Pete
