  • This Titan FlexSpray Handheld Sprayer Review is an honest review that I uploaded just to help out anybody that is considering buying one.
    I am not sponsored by Titan or get paid to do this review.
    This Corded handheld sprayer has a powerful 4 stage turbine design that pushes paint out and atomizes it at the tip.
    Once you get a good understanding of how to use this sprayer you will find that this sprayer is great for small projects like front doors, shutters, trim, and crown moldings.
    I wouldn't necessarily spray something like kitchen cabinets with it though.
    The Sprayer is bout 6 years old and I spray a lot of solvent-based paint and primer with it.
    You can purchase one here

    Another Option is the Wagner Flexio.
    Wagner owns Titan and parts are even compatible with each other.

    Maintenance is minimal and very low cost to replace filters.

    So I use this for all my cabinet jobs. Lays it down pretty nice. Only problem I'm having is the tremendous dust this leaves. Any thoughts on how to cur down? I've tried playing with the settings but it's either not enough paint or to much which leaves an orange peel look. I'm also using advanced paint for the finish and stix for the primer. Thanks!!

      I always thin when using this sprayer. You can shoot primer through the fine finish tip of you thin it. The final product is just as durable as brushing and rolling. Always do 2 topcoats@@streamscreen

      @@DIYhomeimprovementguy thank you for the quick response brother! Can I share a bit of my experience?... I own a Earlex 6003 HVLP (with turbine too) that I use for kitchen cabinets (works great for me), and I used to have (because it’s dies the pump after 10 months 🤦🏽‍♂️) a graco airless Handheld ultimate that I used to use for quick jobs like full paint doors and fast painting jobs that not required too much paint (and I loved it because it’s practical) by now I’ll have to carry every time my Big Graco machine to do that. So the question is: Considering that the Graco Handheld Airless don’t last longer because the pump dies always, do you know any other Handheld airless, different brand or quality that I can buy for that kind of jobs?

    • @DIYhomeimprovementguy
      @DIYhomeimprovementguy  3 года назад

      The only other option that O like is using a smaller type of airless like the 1700 whichamzn.to/3n2TmZZ
      The only thing I don't like about the Titan Handheld is that you can spray upside down. You have to keep the sprayer upright.@@rodolfobuzeta7156

    On both 5 & 12 for the liquid setting, it was very spotty, no?

    • @DIYhomeimprovementguy
      @DIYhomeimprovementguy  Год назад +1

      Correct. If you use a thin product or if you can thin your product to level out nicely then you can get a pretty decent finish. However, I would suggest getting the Graco 9.5 HVLP instead. Yes, it costs more but is well worth it.

    • @DIYhomeimprovementguy
      @DIYhomeimprovementguy  3 года назад +3

      That happens when there's paint built up on the inside by the needle and spring.
      Look at the trigger. There are 2 torque screws that you need to remove. After you remove those there is a pin that keeps the needle in place. Take that out and After removing the needle just clean the gun real good and remove all gunked up paint inside the needle housing. That'll fix it👍🏼

    What settings did you use on the cabinets

    • @DIYhomeimprovementguy
      @DIYhomeimprovementguy  3 года назад

      Usually 12 on air and 5-7 on material.

    • @duartepaintinghandymanservices
      @duartepaintinghandymanservices 3 года назад +1

      It all comes down to which paint material you are using, some paints are thicker and require more air and a higher output for the material, some paints are really thin and don't require much to get the atomization you need. One setting doesn't work for every body, keep that in mind
