Well done, I’m a professional painter of 26 years, and you’ve done an amazing job on those side tables. I love the one on the right, they look store bought!
Thank you for this how to! I purchased my Wagner 2 yrs ago, and been intimidated to use it. I'm finally building up the courage to paint with it today.
You can do it!
Love the finished night stands. The more ornate one for her and the plain one for him.
lol now i'm thinking I need to dilute my paint even more. Those tables turned out very nice
Great review, gave me a lot of insight. Thanks for the tips. I have this exact model and planning to use it for my cabinets I am currently building. This gave me confidence that this sprayer should give me the results I want.
I just bought it today and I love it!
I need to try out this sprayer! AND that gorgeous colour mix!!!
very nice end result....what a transformation
Thank you.
I am a beginning woodworker and it is hard to find a good tutorial on finishing. I just bought a paint sprayer. Your tutorial is fantastic. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the detail instructions....now I am going to try out my Wagner flexio. Yay 😀
For dark colors, I always add a couple drops of paint. It works well!
Thank you for the clear instructions and the night stands turned out beautiful!
I have a wagner flexio 5000 and absolutely love Wagner sprayers. Great video and tips
I was trying to decide between the 3000 and the 5000. That one looks great too! Thank you!!
They are so pretty. I do not spray paint but I love watching the process.
Thank you so much! It’s definitely not for everyone. But I really enjoy it.
SO SO SO Happy I found your channel!!
I really like your videos….very informative. And yes this color is gorgeous!!! Thanks for sharing your info.
Excellent tutorial. Thanks a million
Thanks for these great tips! The nightstands turned out beautifully!
They came out beautiful awesome job i’m new to flipping furniture learning a lot from you Thanks for your videos
Thank you!! I’m glad you’re here!
Found your channel somehow while researching sanders I think. However I found it .... I am glad I did! Your nightstands are beautiful!
Glad to have you!
I have a Flexio 3000 and honestly I love it I just need a little bit more practice with it in this video was very educational for me
I’m so glad to hear that!
Outstanding 🤙😝👍👍👍
really nice
Good painting instincts. Best to you!
I'm looking at getting an entry level sprayer (W100) and was looking at reviews etc, I am very impressed with the finish you achieved and that colour is stunning.
I’ve got that sprayer and it is great, you might want to purchase the fine sprayer attachment for it which is sold separately for a little bit more money
Some people like one night stands ;)
Very helpful and detailed!
Love the color. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of the paint sprayer.
Thank you!!
They are beautiful!! I’ve been wanting to try out this sprayer!!🦋
Suscrito..ni idea lo q hablaste..pero despues de este video..me convenzo en comprar esta pistoma.
You did an amazing job
Thank you so much for this video. I had no idea what they meant when they said “thin” the paint. This is why I’m having trouble with my Wagner 3000. The paint is too thick. Do you remember what kind of settings you used for the poly?
I’m glad it’s helpful! I honestly can’t remember for sure, but maybe 3-4 on the power setting and then maybe the fluid knob turned 15 turns from being completely tightened.
very nice job. do you have a shop where you sell your upcycled furniture? do you do other upcycling of decorative objects? i've been watching a gal named Sherry on her channel Canterbury Cottage, and i think you have the same skill level and sense of artistry and perfection she has, and i can imagine you doing some of the upcycling she does for home decor objects. thanks for sharing your talent with us!
Beautiful color 😍 three coats of poly??
I liked the sander dust collection adapter to shop vac connecting pipe. I will search internet to see how to make one of that.
It’s a surfprep sander. You can read more about mine here: arayofsunlight.com/surfprep-sander (there is a cheaper alternative too that I mention as well)
Have you used the Behr cabinet and trim enamel? The can says do not thin.... but it seems that everything I see from other people they always thin with a sprayer. Not necessarily this paint so I'm confused.... Newbie here.
Great vid! FYI: your HD link for the Flexio says "malformed" when I click on it. ??
Thank you for letting me know! I’ve fixed it.
The link for this sprayer (on Amazon), leads to a Wagner Flexio 590 (not 3000). Are they one and the same OR should I purchase the Flexio 5000 instead? Thank you for this video and you tables are gorgeous
The 5000 is a slightly better sprayer. If you can afford it, I would do the 5000. If not, the 3000 or the 3500 are very great sprayers!
What setting did you change it to spray the poly?? You’d aid you had a huge drip so what was the final setting?? Thanks
Is the HomeRight Super Finish Max a better sprayer than this Wagner?
Just bought the same sprayer, for a completely different use, but I love your nightstand. What type of poly did you use and was it a satin finish? Thanks
Love this video. I haven’t tried spraying a piece yet and this video is so helpful. I believe you left the drawers in. Do you have an issue with the paint on the drawers sticking to the stand?
Yep, I leave the drawers in. I share more about how I paint with the drawers in and why in this video ruclips.net/video/mfWxM9kAJ3k/видео.html . But nope, it doesn’t make the drawers stick. Painting with a brush is a totally different story though. Haha
These are beautiful--great color. Quick question-what was the cause of the poly test with all the drips? Was it thinned down too much or did you need to readjust the sprayer settings?
I just had the sprayer settings wrong. (I had messed with the settings when I cleaned it out).
The material flow knob was screwed almost all of the way in, causing the trigger to be able to be pulled a lot further back, which lets more material spray out of the sprayer.
I have the Flexio 3000 corded paint sprayer and would like to know if there is an attachment so it will pull directly from the paint can? Can I attached a plastic hose to the pickup tube? I am ready to paint my basement ceiling and filling and refilling the large, supplied container is something I would like to avoid if possible. Thank you.
I don’t believe there is any attachment for this sprayer to pull out of a container. They have other sprayers that are made for that.
Polly is for top coat right? Do u need to add paint or just polly E is enough?
What did you do with the sprayer between coats? Just leave the paint in the cup, or clean the whole thing each time?
I leave it in the sprayer. I don’t like to leave it in the sprayer overnight though.
I really enjoyed your video. As a beginner with spray guns. Should I start out with this sprayer? Or just invest in a fuji Q5? I've been painting furniture as a hobby and reselling it for almost 5 years, I only use paint brushes, so now I'm at that point where I think a HVLP sprayer would ease the workload, what would you suggest? Budget wise I have enough to invest in a Fuji sprayer. Also what model of fuji sprayer do you use?
There’s a few things to consider. Are you sure you will enjoy using a sprayer? If so I would go all in with the best sprayer you can afford. I wish I would have done that sooner.
If you aren’t sure if you will like using a sprayer then I would get a cheap sprayer and see if you like spraying (but wish it was easier or better).
I absolutely love my Fuji (affiliate link) amzn.to/2XtHfwm
Here is my review of it. arayofsunlight.com/fuji-q4-paint-sprayer-review/
And actually, I should have a video this week with all of the details about it.
Wow this looks amazing! Top coating with my sprayer is my worst nightmare lol- I never get it right! How do you sand in between coats without damaging the paint finish? I find especially on dark colours that it leaves marks, even when I'm using like a 600 grit sandpaper
Thank you for your video 🙏
Sometimes I end up doing 2 coats of poly after sanding with 400 grit because I can see some small scratches.
Try 3m scotch brite pads instead of actual sand paper I think you might have better luck. Just lightly use downward force when sanding.
Do you clean your sprayer between each spraying of the blue paint?
Nope. Chalk paint is super easy to clean up so I can get away with cleaning it after all of the coats of paint are on. It’s best to clean it before being done with it for the day though. Buuuut I’ve gotten away with longer than that. 😂
That came out so great. I have the same sprayer, but it constantly clogs. Even when I stop for just a minute to wipe down my next piece. What’s your secret?
Have you tried thinning the product? Sounds like its too thick and is clogging the nozzle.
@@mrtv777 hi, yes I tried thinning it with about 10% water. I played around with the settings too but just can’t get it right.
What paint are you using?
What paint sprayer do you recommend
It depends on what you’re looking for. Budget friendly? Creates the best finish? Super powerful? This one is a great beginner sprayer with budget in mind.
Thank you for your video. I bought a less expensive sprayer which may be the problem. I used the smallest nozzle and thinned the paint out. All I got were messy splatters. Is the adjustment dial the issue do you think? Should I use a bigger nozzle? Thank you in advance!
I use a smaller nozzle with another sprayer and it’s been great. It could be a thinning issue (too thin or too thick), it could be too much power, or it could be too much paint coming out too. So basically start messing with the settings and the thickness. Make notes so you know what works and what doesn’t. Best of luck!!
@@ARayofSunlight Thank you. I had gotten so frustrated I gave up and went back to brushing. Also I think I might have gotten what I paid for....
How long did you let the paint dry before applying the polyurethane
With chalk paint I just wait until it’s dry. For me that’s usually an hour or two. It’s not finicky like other paint can be about dry time.
I am currently working on a project in my home and replacing all of the door casing and baseboards. Long story short...I am having horrible luck painting the new door casings before I install them and I am thinking I need to just attempt to spray them myself. What sort of finish did you get with this sprayer? Does the end result look like a smooth factory finish? Or do you see any sort of texture/orange peel? Thank you.
You can get a factory looking finish with this. But honestly you’ll spend a lot of time messing with the paint to get it just right and sanding in between coats to get a factory finish. Your best bet is to buy something like the Fuji 4 or 5. Here is my review of the Fuji Q4. arayofsunlight.com/fuji-q4-paint-sprayer-review/
@@ARayofSunlight thank you kindly for the information. I had never heard of a Fuji sprayer before so I googled it. They are well over $1000 which is way more than I can afford for my project. I’m using Benjamin Moore Advance paint for the doors and trim. It’s not an overly thick paint so I may look at investing in the Wagner sprayer.
Definitely! I can understand that not being worth it to you. I’ve never sprayed advance, so I can’t tell you for sure how great it will work. But I wish you the best with finishing up your project!
@@ARayofSunlight thank you. I appreciate that. Did you have any issues with the Wagner spitting paint out? That was the issue I had with a different sprayer when I was painting my kitchen cabinets a couple of years ago. It made a hot mess of my cabinet doors that I had prepped.
If your paint isn’t the right viscosity, and if your settings aren’t right, yep it will spit paint. Test, test, and test some more before spraying your project.
Also it’s best to pull the trigger a little bit to get the motor going and then pull back all the way to get the paint to come out. If you pull the trigger back all the way right at the first, it will likely splatter.
Im so new, what is the best nozzle? 1.8, 2 or?
You just use the detail finish nozzle for furniture. This sprayer doesn’t have a tip size.
@@ARayofSunlight Got it. Thanks a million. I have another question and the last. How long should i wait in between coats of Poly water base?
So what was the final setting you had it on?
Whatever the setting that I mentioned in the video. Sorry I can’t remember what it was without watching the video again. 🥴
5-10min clean up? wow, it takes at least half an hour with mine.
tip...to avoid spotting add a little bit of your dark paint to the poly and mix well...paint as usual..
Did you watch the full video? 🙃 Haha I showed that same tip in the video. 😜
@@ARayofSunlight LOLOL Yes but i already sent the tip to you...ups...tooo late LOLOL
Hahahaha!
So add the same paint that is already on the table or whatever your painting to the poly? Wow
@@mrtv777 exactly....magic...just to tint the poly and that is it.
She said "...one nightstand ..." 😂😅
🥇👍🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦
Uh
Just bought the same sprayer, for a completely different use, but I love your nightstand. What type of poly did you use and was it a satin finish? Thanks
Thank you! All of the products I used are linked in the description for your convenience.
