  • Venmo @John-Burbidge-3 to buy me a beer for making these free videos. Thx! :) John Burbidge, author of the book "Watching Paint Dry," demonstrates how to use a paint sprayer. Visit www.howtopaintahouseright.com/ to view a complete series of videos on interior and exterior house painting! Update 2013: There are some homeowner-grade airless sprayers on the market these days that do not require throat seal. Consult your owner's manual.

    You sir, are a hero. Boss left me unsupervised after I told them that I knew (in theory) how to use a paint sprayer. This saved me from explaining a very embarrassing mess

    You did a great job explaining the process of draining/priming/spraying and the reason for cycling. (rather than just micro steps)...helped a lot and not in other videos.

    Great job. A huge help showing the images of parts that you’re referring to when instructing how to use it. A lot of guys making vids don’t do that and it can get pretty confusing

    I paint houses for a living and as an 18 year old girl just now coming into the business I appreciate that I could watch this video and understand it. Even without knowing how to use a sprayer. Because I've only ever used a roller and a paintbrush but it's taking too long to paint houses so I needed to learn this. Many thhanks. And I'm buying your book😁

    Thanks for the video John. As a small commercial contractor, I spend most of my time in the office. (My guys are the ones who know how to paint..) This was very helpful and I am anxious to see the rest of your videos.

    I came upon this video by accident. I cannot comment on its accuracy, but I will say it was very well done! I am not easily impressed with instructional material of any sort. Experts seem to skip steps, probably due to their experience. You really took us through this step by step. I feel I can actually follow this, if need be, without feeling frustration from a confusing or incomplete instruction. Whatever you're doing, keep doing it. Good job!

  • @howtopaintahouse
    @howtopaintahouse  11 лет назад +9

    It is a Titan sprayer I've had for many years. Still works great because I treat it well. The basic components--suction tube, return (prime) tube, pressure knob, gun and tip, etc., are pretty much the same on all sprayers, although they sometimes look different on newer ones. I've used plenty of Graco sprayers over the years and they work great too. Thanks for writing!

    This info is very helpful.

  • @howtopaintahouse
    @howtopaintahouse  11 лет назад +1

    Great question. You probably have one of Graco's Tradeworks line, which they describe as being for homeowners, handymen, and others who won't be spraying day-in day-out. Those sprayers are designed to not require throat seal. Other companies might also make homeowner lines that don't require throat seal, but as far as I'm aware, all professional-grade sprayers still require throat seal. (I double-checked with the paint store.) Thanks for asking and helping to clear this up. Enjoy that sprayer!

I had never ran an airless sprayer before and did not realize how many details, there are, to be aware of. From start to finish you've helped me to overcome my 'intimidation'. Thanks!

    @howtopaintahouse  11 лет назад +8

    That's lot of paint! You're right that a 3-foot wand can reduce the work by quite a bit when spraying massive square footage. For interior residential spraying, an 18-inch tip extension can also be very handy when dealing with 9-foot ceilings and vaulted ceilings, etc., so you don't have to drag a step ladder along. Thanks for commenting.

    Yes I have one of those too , the technique was to keep the gun tucked in at the waist so the weight would be off the trigger hand , and swop over when the ache set in, the 600litre would do 64 student bedrooms including 8 corridors 8 kitchens and a 4 storey staircase , I called this a section and while doing the job I did around 2500 bedrooms and then left site , it was getting too repetitive for me ,but then I worked for persimmon homes for 9 years spraying new build houses,
