Chris you're one hell of an authentic and amazing professional teacher....very clean, detailed and informative. Nice to see real beings who love what they do and don't mind teaching others - very admirable 👏👏👊
Thank you so much for your videos. I've been watching for over a year getting up my courage to paint my two story apartment myself. Thanks to your videos I was able to do the prep work prior to starting and to use the sprayer (with the PSI that worked best). Sadly, because I was on top of a 25 foot ladder, I was unable to get clean starts and stops at logical places, but all turned out beautifully. Thanks again.
Great channel! I work at Glacier Factory Finishes here in Montana and we also have issues with the SW ultra deep base. Straining all of our paint has been helpful, so has properly mixing our paints. Scraping the bottoms of 5 gallon buckets with a stir stick, along with drilling the paint with agitators has proved useful! Paint life keep rockin it!
Hi Chris, Luke Bourne here from Australia. Awesome vid, great content. Very true about the paint brands we have. Have been straining paint for 10yrs +. All suppliers recommend that you water down 5% for spraying. It has got a lot better in the past 5yrs.
Thank you for the great tips on using an airless sprayer. I just bought a cheap airless sprayer to start messing around. And with your videos and info I hope to soon get a better quality sprayer.
What an amazing video. I love learning from pros. You clearly broke down why and what to look for. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and helping me paint better.
That was a really good video been in the trade 33 years in NZ I have my own company and a very good reputation. But lately we are having to spay alot of New homes to stay competitive. We always preferred to brush and roll. I've been watching your videos to get a refresh on spaying and its really helpful 👌 thanks alot .
I am a DIY doing my first project. I am painting 1100.00 sq feet. I have watched several of your videos. They are very informative and easy to understand for the first timer. Thank you and God Bless
I've been paying it for many years and I started watching some of your videos and just want to say thank you because I have learned so much and here I thought I was a painter LOL thanks again.
Im happy that you're straining your paint that is what I've always done when it comes to painting even if they are brand new paint buckets, it goes easier on your pump and even when cut and roll.
Getting ready to spray interior walls in a house in Venice Beach Florida. Just bought a Wagner 770...I'v always brushed and rolled..This will be my first time ever spraying...Your video is a god send to me .I learned quite a bit....Thank you for making this for me...
Chris you are rocking this game. Love the channel. You vids are consistently outdoing themselfs as far as video quality is concerned and the delivery of information, and the information itself is top notch. I've been a fan for well over a year and I will continue to watch and enjoy your vids. Thank you so much! Please keep up the great work!
Wow! What a great video, you explain very well the spray patterns to look for and how to adjust pressure to correct them. I really learn a lot from you and enjoy watching all of your videos. God Bless, and thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.
You’re so thorough & detailed! I appreciate it so much! About to start using my new paint sprayer watching this video was last and final step before starting lol
Nice video, thanks. Have been using airless for the first time today, and even if the walls and ceilings look ok, i used 3 times more paints than expected... I guess tomorrow will start with a test to adjust the pressure !
Peace be upon you. I consider you one of the best painters in the world .. You have a great style and a true artist in your profession .. I am your follower from Algeria. Greetings and may God help you.
The sputtering problem you described at the end is common with oil based paints that have been sitting past the manufacture date for a long time. We use oil base all the time in line striping and even the cans that are only a few months old sometimes need 4-5 full cups of toluene, even after been shaken in a commercial machine. Even after all that like you said some paint is just crap and will not spray
Awesome video this was very helpful, I've googling haven't found any answers to my questions about why my sprayer does tails when I spray and use up paint like crazy. I end up having more paint on myself then the ceilings. (Lol) Great thanks perfect clip. KEEP IT UP.
I sure do appreciate your generosity with your experience and knowledge. If I had known about you years ago, I would have been an even better painter. Thank you.
Thank you for putting out these videos. New to the channel , somewhat new to spraying and this channel is teaching me a lot . Also gonna be purchasing that whip you mentioned from you. Again, thanks for these awesome tips.
Props to a fellow Idaho painter. We definitely could use higher pay rates for everything we go through with commercial painting my crew has literally painted half of the new buildings here in boise from micron to the hospitals and everything in between one of the fastest growing areas in America for sure. you should do a commentary on dealing with deadlines and working with major construction companies and the difference between residential and commercial
Perfect video. To the point tips LOL. I'd like to see the same video with the Graco cordless. Tip size tips spraying certain surfaces with that sprayer.
I have an older model graco ultimate airless paint sprayer. I can get it to prime and spray but it continuously runs and sprays zigzag lines. It also builds a lot of paint in front over primer shaft. The pump will slow down when adjusted but will not stop until it too low to spray.
I am a retired city and guilds served painter and decorator. When I served my apprenticeship rollers were not ever used. All ceilings and walls were done with a 9in paint brush from a metal bucket . When rollers came along I was very sectibal although as they improved I took to better licking to them as they made life so much easier and I earnt far more money. I am still called upon to do the odd decorating job now and again although I can be far more choosy. I have never been in the world of spraying although it seems to be the next trend. I have bought myself a Wagner 150m 300w diy airless paint sprayer 230v (UK) as it was less expensive to see if I take to it .So l will watch you with interest Roy Stamp Cambridge United Kingdom
I've learned a ton from your videos over the years, thank you. I want to paint my wood crank out casement windows but I am unsure how to go about this. I cannot find any videos on this from anyone. Do you spray the window when its closed and open it, then roll the rest of the sash or do you take off the sash and spray it separately? I would love to know the process you would do for this and what materials you would use. I've got an Airless and an HVLP available to use. God Bless Brother.
thank you so much for your tips. very important info. I had issues with spraying doors with the purple tip 3/10. kept clogging within a few seconds. I think it was the paint? new Titan sprayer, gun, tip and screened my paint. I used Kellymore exterior semi gloss waterbase paint. I will try changing gun and manifold screens?? Very grateful, J.M. Construction
This is a great video and I enjoy all of your content. QUESTION: I have embarked on my own project of spraying my kitchen cabinets. I am using a Graco X5 and a 313 FFT (I’ve also tried 415). I am spraying Kilz original as I am using BM advanced. I’ve tried all I feel I can try and still getting tails. Cleaned filter, cleaned inflow and outflow valves. I’ve even thinned to primer 4oz of mineral spirits for 1 gal. I’ve just sprayed the first coat. Help would be much appreciated.
I love your videos I'm getting into learning how to spray paint and your videos are helping massively, its alot to when you look into it. Do you have any recommendations for hea tip size for a kitchen matt emulsion and best tape for masking off freshly painted coving and skirting.
3:48 great video, you didn't mention it but I assume running the pressure higher than needed will also put undue wear and tear on the tip nozzle (shortening life)
Appreciate the tips (pun intended). I just bought a Graco X5 and there is no gauge but it goes up to 3k so I figure maybe start at a little better than halfway on the dial with a 515 tip. I sprayed 2 walls already and didn't get fingers but there was a lot of overspray so maybe I had it too high.
Thank you for the video...I'm new to this and in the process of painting my houses exterior. I'm using a 515 tip with SW super paint I seem to be using a lot of paint, Its not running and seem to be covering well but I do have a tail and a lot of over spray . Do you have any suggestions thank you
You mentioned Sherwin Williams ProBlock (oil-based) primer. Can this be sprayed? Does it need to be strained prior to use? Thank you, excellent tutorials!
I've been watching your videos a lot but my first spray indoor wall didn't work well. I am novice in spray painting. I am changing color from glossy green to white. Questions: 1) should I have sand and prime glossy paint first? 2) my tip is 515, should i still need to add water to thin the paint? 3) during spray time, I noticed some paint thrown into the wall like rain drops, thoughts? Thank you. I like your channel and how you explain things.
Thanks for the video. I have a Graco X7 that does not come with a pressure gauge. I get a lot of advise about what pressures to run but I can't see what psi I'm spraying. Should I put a gauge on it?
Hi. Thanks for this great video. I'm currently wall painting. Paint consumption is very high. Is that related to the pressure? Should I delute the pain and reduce the pressure? Or is this due to the nozzle size? I paint with a 517. Thanks
I’m just a home owner non professional painter if I want to paint my house should I rent a good sprayer or is there a good less expensive sprayer you would suggest I purchase? Thanks great videos very informative 👍🏼
Hello, I'm spraying industry enamel oil base for some carports , do you have any recommendations for this material is really hard to work with , this was a customer choice is giving me I little hard time spraying. Thank you in advance you are the most knowledgeable painter on RUclips.
Just curious about the paint sprayers. Does anyone make an attachment that draws paint from the bottom of the can? Maybe that is more trouble than it is worth. Appreciate all the videos.
I have seen a few of your videos on tips and compatibility. My question is this: I just got a Graco Sprayer (not commercial). If I use a Titan HEA tip, will I still benefit from the better overspray control?
What kind of incentives do you provide your employees to keep them motivated and producing. Also how do you train people. Do you hire already experienced?
i bought a wagner pro130 1600psi set no adjustment. i have to paint a whole house including ceilings, the house was all wall paper. i am using kilz original primer oil. I could not get the fingering to go away, so i back rolled which worked fine but when its only you that is a lot of work n running lol. what pressure should i be spraying it, i would like to try again this ti,e with a little more info
Hi there boss. First i wanted to thank you for always sharing the best tips with us. Incredibly helpful. I have a question related to the business part of painting. Any tips for a young entrepreneur who just started a local painting business? How to escalate the business? Is it better to hire people or to subcontract? Thank you in advance
Have a question? Leave it in the comments and if we answer it in our next video you will get a Paint Life Hat.
What is the best paint you can recommend a (non oil) that is can use to paint my interior Doors and Trim, in my house?
Paint life hat I want one

Great channel! I work at Glacier Factory Finishes here in Montana and we also have issues with the SW ultra deep base. Straining all of our paint has been helpful, so has properly mixing our paints. Scraping the bottoms of 5 gallon buckets with a stir stick, along with drilling the paint with agitators has proved useful! Paint life keep rockin it!
i like the detail in your comments, i have been spraying for over 25 years. You did a great job explaining the small details. GREAT job on this video!

Alot of good info..
Thanks for watching’🤙
Im this video of 16:26 seconds, I learned more than 3 years of school and I feel 🤡🤡, my company is doing a lot better thanks to your videos 🔥🔥🔥💪💪
Appreciate the tips (pun intended). I just bought a Graco X5 and there is no gauge but it goes up to 3k so I figure maybe start at a little better than halfway on the dial with a 515 tip. I sprayed 2 walls already and didn't get fingers but there was a lot of overspray so maybe I had it too high.
I absolutely love the scripture. What a great medium you have to get His good news out. Keep honoring Him and training/serving His people. PEACE
Great job where I can buy a bucket to organize my tip like your thanks
Thank you

Thanks, I just spent 5 bills on your website. But can't keep watching your videos my wife is getting jealous!
Oh no!
Thanks!
Thank you very much Hamilton
Sweet, so parts should fit. Have been quoted prime valve cost in Australia $184 Aud ... Can you believe it?,
I've been watching your videos a lot but my first spray indoor wall didn't work well. I am novice in spray painting. I am changing color from glossy green to white. Questions: 1) should I have sand and prime glossy paint first? 2) my tip is 515, should i still need to add water to thin the paint? 3) during spray time, I noticed some paint thrown into the wall like rain drops, thoughts?

I seriously think I need to water down my paint now. Thank you, the only other thing that I see could be my issue would be a bad new tip.
TITAN is the BEST I have the same sprayer but only on wheels
Would you happen to know what spray rigs and tips are best to use for a silicone base paint product and at what PSI as well ?
This is so helpful thank you very much sir
Dee Junior your welcome thanks for watching!
Hi there, can you do a demonstration video on how to paint the walls and ceiling consistently when it’s 11-12ft tall?
Good video. With the green 515 Titan tip is the amount of paint used less than would be on a red 515 because of the lower pressure?
Hi. Thanks for this great video.
I'm currently wall painting. Paint consumption is very high.
Is that related to the pressure? Should I delute the pain and reduce the pressure? Or is this due to the nozzle size? I paint with a 517.
Thanks
I’m just a home owner non professional painter if I want to paint my house should I rent a good sprayer or is there a good less expensive sprayer you would suggest I purchase? Thanks great videos very informative 👍🏼

What kind of incentives do you provide your employees to keep them motivated and producing. Also how do you train people. Do you hire already experienced?
Have you ever attached some filter material over your rock filter instead of pouring it through a filter? It works pretty good for smaller jobs.
i bought a wagner pro130 1600psi set no adjustment. i have to paint a whole house including ceilings, the house was all wall paper. i am using kilz original primer oil. I could not get the fingering to go away, so i back rolled which worked fine but when its only you that is a lot of work n running lol. what pressure should i be spraying it, i would like to try again this ti,e with a little more info
can you review the Becker and Kraus sprayer ? i dont paint often and on a budget but i wted something to use on my retal properties.
Thanks Idaho painter. What’s the rule of thumb on how much coverage you get per gallon. Planning on doing a house with mostly flat walls. Thanks.
Hi there boss. First i wanted to thank you for always sharing the best tips with us. Incredibly helpful. I have a question related to the business part of painting. Any tips for a young entrepreneur who just started a local painting business? How to escalate the business? Is it better to hire people or to subcontract? Thank you in advance
I would never sub myself. Just me though. Did it in the past and had horrible experience doing so.
