amazing vid thanks Peter. Bm Ben and Johnstones Durable acrylic are my current favorites for walls and ceilings. I do find in these winter months they do need bringing up to a nice 20-22c however. That's why I wanted to buy the heated hose but got carried away and bought the Ultra instead... now I'm finishing off another refurb with no central heating and remembering... ah well. I'm not a quick sprayer and prefer the lower volumes of the 515 for walls and 617 for ceilings. Thanks for taking the time to do this vid buddy and Happy Christmas to you. I'm now off to roll in my bedroom... with BM Aura eggshell in dragonfly as it goes😊
Hey Matt, yeah I was very impressed with BM Ben, I’ll certainly be looking to use BM more often in future 👌 you’re very wise in your setup, nice and steady with a 515 💙💯 Merry Christmas my friend.. Good luck with BM Aura, I’m sure you’ll do an amazing job 👏👏👏 regards Pete
Hey Pete, Johnson Durable Matt is my goto paint. I always add water, say two full mugs to 5L as I reckon it makes it flow batter even off the brush! I've sprayed the same through a 517 tip successfully too. Thanks for the info in the video fella! And merry Christmas sir. 🙏🏼
Hey buddy, yeah I’ve always been a fan of Johnstones Acrylic Durable Matt, it sprays very well despite its thicker viscosity.. you’re right, it can take a 10% addition of water and can be beneficial to spraying (and a brush).. thanks for your support my friend 🙏 Merry Christmas 💙💯 regards Pete
That’s a good point, yes there’s no doubt heating the material lowers the viscosity, thus lowering the pressure and improving sprayability with less overspray 👍 The Graco range of heated hoses are “C Max” 👌💙💯
I use the Johnstones a lot these days. I’ve had a graco gx21 for a while now and would like to upgrade. What’s a a good setup to go for? I mostly use my machine for mist coats and finishing ceilings. But I do also finish mdf sometimes
Brilliant Pete as always. Tip size is what i would use for emulsion but i would also use a 4xx size for small and even go up to 7xx for lager commercial jobs. And have used graco 1223 for jetroller. Hose wise i prefer 1/4 inch over 3/16 it allows more better flow which i found wider fan and lower pressure with some latex paints. Paint wise i have noticed more over spray with vinyl based even durable in the past i had it with. Ben Moore looking good though. Have you tried isomat ceiling paint yet ❓ Have a good rest and happy Christmas.
Thank you Colin, your insight and experience is always very helpful.. interesting your preference on hose size - there’s no doubt the engineering / science behind the resistance (and pressure drop) that ‘could’ occur with narrower diameter hoses, especially over longer distances, and / or higher viscosities. I do like the 1223 with a Jet Roller - do you look to spray relatively low pressure?. To eliminate paint bounce back, because tails are not an issue with the paint being captured by the roller 👌Have a wonder Christmas, and enjoy a well deserved break 🎄💙💯 regards Pete
Thanks for sharing your feedback, I hear what you’re saying.. I have put a light smear of petroleum jelly round the thread as a preventative measure 👍 Regards Pete 💙💯
@@PaintHQ same here but WHY does it corrode so easily in that very spot!? Why does t have to be chrome-plated just to peel off so easily? Why can't Graco make it of the same material as the manifold bottle? I know we are supposed to squeak clean it every time but the reality is different on the ground!
I do understand your point and I can vouch Graco takes customer feedback extremely seriously.. I will share your findings and experience 🫡 👏👏👏 Regards Pete 💙💯

Same here! Shit my dulux account down two years ago the robbing wankers 😂
Thanks
Thank you so much, you’re very kind - much appreciated 🙏💙💯
I wonder if paint heating might improve sprayability but I've not seen any Graco heated hoses for ths class of paints.

Maybe unecessarly but I am so 'pssssd off' by the corrosion on the manifold filter core thread. I see you have that already on your fairly new pump.
