Great job pete well done and thanks for taking the time to share it,theres a lot of work in that staircase but you have transformed it with your trusty sprayer and skills
Hi Pete, that was a fantastic video. Great work, looked lovely. Just when I think I’m getting better, you make me realise how much I need to learn. Thank you for sharing.👌
Allan you’re a diamond.. you’re doing great my friend.. I’m proud of you for embracing spraying and what you’ve achieved in such a short time 💯 ..keep going 😆
Hey Darren, thank you for watching, really appreciated.. airless spraying is perhaps easier to start Vs HVLP ..Then I tend to recommend starting with learning to spray ceilings.. just to build your confidence.. Paint Ceilings FASTER With An Airless Paint Sprayer ruclips.net/video/FtpqTZxaSn8/видео.html that’s of course if you’re looking to spray complete projects.. either way, I’m happy to help if can, keep in touch my friend.. regards Pete
@@PaintHQ hi Pete thanks for you reply I will definitely be watching more of your videos as I’ll like to get into spraying I’m a decorator by trade but never used a spray machine just brush and roller 👍
ei Luiz, estou honrado com suas amáveis palavras de apoio.. obrigado 😆 ..enviando meu amor e felicidades para o Brasil ❤️🙏 ..fique em contato.. cumprimentos Pete
Another great video love to see the start to finish ones, really gives a novice sprayer like me the confidence to spray confined domestic areas , I notice you use the Wagner tip instead of the graco LP is it just personal preference of are they better tips many thanks for taking the the time to do these videos all the best Roger
Hi Roger, that’s very nice of you to say and it’s great to hear my videos give you a little inspiration.. all brand manufacturers have a great comparable range of spray tips, some suiting particular materials.. I find the Wagner HEA 515 enables me to spray up to 500 psi less and still produce a nice feathered fan pattern.. the atomisation is a little courser Vs other low pressure tips, but that no problem at all when spraying emulsions.. being able to spray at low pressures, in my opinion is the key to be able to spray confidently on domestic projects.. you get so much control, and less overspray / less bounce back.. you use less material and you’re almost able to take your time moving the gun.. spraying is more pleasurable 😆 sorry I sound like an advert.. I’m not my friend 👍 ..hope this helps.. regards Pete
Stunning job mate, very arty video too 😀love it. i take it the 208 tip would have been to much for the spindles. The banister looks awesome as does the finished result. just in the middle of a 20 metre square room, gloss skirt, 3 wall + 1 feature wall and ceiling. All being sprayed your way from the floor up. will let you no how it goes, looks good so far. i've not been on for a bit as i've been building the She Shed but still been watching your vids. i was meaning to comment on the Graco power roller as it definitely needs the whip, still not bought it yet. Keep up the good work. Cheers Paul from Aus.
Hey Paul, really great to hear from you 🇦🇺❤️😆 ..Glad to hear you’re busy my friend, and having success.. a 208 does spray spindles with these low viscosity paints very well, you’re right though, you do need to move quicker to account for the faster flow.. so HVLP gives that bit more control, slowing down and narrowing the fan.. and you do use a little more paint through the airless 👍 feel free to msg any time, like I say always a pleasure 👌👏😆 ..Regards Pete
Brilliant spray job. Thanks for the inspiration. I hope I can spray like you. New subscriber watching all your channel one by one. Using a Wagner 250m and started with a flexiona 590. Going to invest in the Graco ultra max
Hi Jonny, really appreciate your kind words and I’m so pleased you’ve been inspired 😆 ..You will soon gain confidence my friend.. we’ve actually had similar beginnings.. I too started off with a very similar, HVLP style sprayer for use on a project at home.. I wiped the paint off numerous times 🙈 ..Humble beginnings, now I’m humbled by the support good people like yourself have shown.. I’m happy to help and advise any way I can on your own spraying journey.. keep in touch.. regards Pete 🎨💯
Really enjoyed the video. I'm just starting to spray with a Wagner FC 5000 XVLP, it would be great to see a video of the woodwork in a HSL being done with one if that's possible?

Hello! What stain did you use at the start? Also, what’s your impression on the Akzo Nobel paints? Do you thin them at all? I presume the lacquer you got is just clear colour? Also, I recently used my Gentilin, pressure pot and FLG-5 fitted with a 1.8mm needle. I diluted some BM Aqua Advanced Satin down by 10-15% and sprayed a door. Ended up with a bumpy / textured surface in places - I’m going to sand it back and try again. I think I’ll try using a 1.4mm needle, diluting less and applying a thicker coat. Do you have any more thoughts? Sorry for all the questions! Thanks
Hey Sam, always great to hear from you.. the stain was a waterborne dye by Liiberon.. technically I prefer a spirit based but always opt for a waterborne dye when refinishing with a waterborne clear lacquer.. I have to say and this is by no means an advert 😆 but these waterborne manufacturer coatings by AkzoNobel are one of the best (satin) finishes I’ve used.. they are low viscosity, spray only products.. no thinning, spray beautifully with HVLP and even airless with a 208 / 308 tip.. BM Advance is a great waterborne Alkyd product, I’ve used with a brush before with great success.. equally I know it sprays excellent with airless.. Whilst I haven’t had experience spraying Advance through HVLP.. The symptoms you describe, sounds like too much air / not enough fluid.. which can create a dry / rough finish (not enough fluid).. or if ‘orange peel‘, fluid is perhaps ok, but too much air creates the orange peel and it’s not levelling out in time.. I normally stick around a 1.5 needle.. don’t look to thin with water, i only add water as a last resort.. try warming your paint, by submerging the can in hot water (hot as you can get).. also a paint conditioner such as a drop of Floetrol can work wonders and help the finish level out.. BM do their version called Extender.. then get the air / fluid balance right, to lay on a ‘wet’ coat.. hope this helps, let me know how it goes.. then if you get chance, try AkzoNobel I know you’ll be very impressed 😆 keep in touch, happy to help some more.. regards Pete
@@PaintHQ Hello Pete, top bloke thanks for the detailed reply. Much appreciated! I’m going to have a play around with the setup and see if I can get it spraying nice. I think I just thinned it too much and sprayed it on with too much air, it certainly wasn’t a thick coat like I’ve done previously with my airless. Good idea about heating the paint up, I’ll try that before diluting the BM next time. I think I’m going to give the Akzo Nobel a shot, I like the idea of not needing to mess about getting the right consistency every time! I’ll be stripping my Victorian staircase back later this year, and I will be following your process when it’s ready to stain and paint. Thanks again!!
Hey buddy, love the channel and love your work. I do have a concern for the future though, spraying the ceiling last uses so much plastic it can’t be sustainable and potentially plastic prices will rise massively. Would spraying the ceiling first and then masking it off with paper when doing the walls last not be better? Keep up the vids please, I’m learning with every upload you do 👍
Hey Jason, really appreciate you supporting the channel.. you make a very valid point about the plastic and it’s something I’ve thought about myself.. technically it’s more difficult to mask a line the other way round.. bit like cutting in with a brush, it would be very challenging to cut in a ceiling and paint the ceiling last.. that said, it can be done and you know what.. I’ll make a note and look to try it, along with a video 😆 ..it would take at least 2 runs of 12” paper, ideally 3 ..I use that amount if masking a feature wall.. whilst I believe with the right tip / pressure / setup, you can minimise overspray.. you’d be surprised how the wall colour could end up on the ceiling a fraction 🙈 ..just to add, I do try to repurpose the plastic, wrapping kit to take off the job for example and recycle any without paint .. but there’s no denying, the potential for waste, that’s spoiled with paint.. thanks for the feedback my friend, really appreciate it and the support .. regards Pete 🎨💯
Hi Peter, hope all is all. Well looks like I'll be getting a gx21 with the hopper kit from sprayman uk hopefully within next few weeks. As I'm new to spraying I'd appreciate your help as I know you're always reliable and can count on you. Basically I mainly use johnstones paints and just wondering is there an average tip size I should be using and which ones to buy? Maybe a 5.14 for emulsions (cover matt mainly) Maybe 2.10 for the aqua gloss/undercoat And would you recommend a even smaller tip for doing spindles? Sorry if it's long and appreciate any help. Look forward to your next video
Hi Callum, great news you’re taking the step into the wonderful world of spraying.. the GX21FF will serve you well and the team at SpraymanUK will expertly look after you 😆 ..I’m more than happy to help you all I can, feel free to ask questions anytime.. the GX21 comes with a LP 517 (for emulsions) and an FFLP 310 for decorative trim / woodwork paints.. you’ll certainly get up and running with these spray tips.. it might be worth adding a 515, now I prefer the Wagner HEA 515, you can spray at a lower pressure, which makes for ‘cleaner’ spraying and more control.. You’ll also need a Wagner TradeTip 3 7/8” Tip Guard.. but like I say, no rush.. you can get spraying with what’s in the box and look to invest later.. For spindles, I’d got for a 210 (or a 208 if you was to be spraying thinner coatings).. there’s a 110 (2” fan).. but the paint will fly out with a narrow, concentrated fan.. this video explains ‘fluid flow’.. ruclips.net/video/0Q7LrmeMs3w/видео.html If you haven’t already, check out these GX21 videos.. there’s one for 1st time setup and one on the GX21FF.. ruclips.net/p/PLsoto1xN8d093Va4YdjcrnO-FMdD3lGhx Exciting times, Keep in touch and let me know how you get on.. like I say, I’m more than happy to help you on your journey 🙏 regards Pete
@@PaintHQ thank you so much Pete. You really have gave me the confidence to get into the spraying side of decorating. Keep up the amazing work and look forward to your future videos
Hi Pete , great video mate , top quality as always . Did you find you where getting many blockages using the Albany durable matt ? I recently sprayed a HSL walls and ceiling with the Albany Durable matt through my GX21 , 515 HEA tip ,strained and eased to help flow and had a number of blockages ? I have had little or no probs with Armstead or Dulux Durable . Keep up the great content and thank you mate 👍
Hi Colin, thank you watching, appreciate the support.. I have once, spraying Albany Durable using the Graco Handheld.. what I noticed, the paint felt ‘gritty’, you could feel what I guess was a heavy pigment when rubbing between fingers.. clearly a bad batch, very frustrating getting a tip blockage every few seconds.. otherwise I’m a big fan spraying this product, if it happened to me again especially through a bigger pump, I’d loose faith in the product ☹️ ..thanks for sharing, appreciate your input on the channel.. you’re spraying with a great setup my friend 👌👏👍😆 ..regards Pete
Hi Pete, i been meaning to ask and i keep forgetting, i have wash the graco/21 every time after use, assuming this is the right way to go? what I'm not sure is if i should fill with pump armor after every use o just if I'm not using for a long period of time. witch brings me to another question ,what's a long period of time? 1 day ?1 week? a month? best regards Flavio
Hi Flavio, good question.. yeah give the GX21 a good flush through / clean every time 👍 ..I personally use Pump Armor every time, it takes a few seconds and if the pump is clean, the used Pump Armor can be primed back into the bottle each time before you setup to spray.. otherwise if you was using the sprayer the next day, it wouldn’t matter if you just gave it a good clean and left clean water in the pump.. just to add, I don’t put Pump Armor through the paint hose (I store the hose attached to the sprayer).. I just prime Pump Armor through the machine 👍 hope this helps my friend.. regards Pete
Pete you are costing me a fortune. Now I've got to go out and buy an HVLP 🤣🤣🤣 On a serious note I really enjoyed this video. It must take a long time to produce. I was talking about an HVLP on a forum the other day. People were for them, others against them. Some think airless is better for stairs as your always filling the pot with the HVLP and it takes longer. All down to personal preference really. Do you think the finish is better with the HVLP? Great video as usual Pete, I've learned so much from you. Cheers 👍🏻
Haha 😂 sorry my friend 🤣 ..First off, airless is awesome and with the introduction of fine finish tips (various brands), coupled with the right product / setup (tip size / pressure) and technique.. the finish is awesome 👌 ..The AkzoNobel waterborne products featured in this video, all spray beautifully at very low pressure 800 / 900 psi, with .008 tips (I tend to use a 208).. the finish with the HVLP setup that I feature, is very marginally better (the custoner wouldn’t see a difference).. I believe the key to spraying the ultimate / smoothest finish is laying on just the right amount of material.. pushing the boundary to the brink of getting runs in the paint 🙈 ..HVLP lends itself because you can tweak and control the flow.. you can actually get close to airless speed.. whereas airless you have no choice but to move relatively quick and once an area gets hit multiple times, you could get a run ☹️ If you went HVLP, my personal opinion is go with a compressor setup.. less noise (vs a turbine), more manoeuvrability with the air line, you can (more easily) add a regulated pressure pot (means more dedicated air to gun, with that it’s possible to atomise thicker materials), you get more for your money (pressure pot / gun etc are cheaper).. and for me ultimately, you could convert to AAA (Air Assisted Airless).. sorry I’m not out to sell you something, just give a little background.. all good, especially if you was to look at spraying PVC, spray kitchen cabinets or general cabinetry.. apologies I’m waffling.. always here to help you if I can my friend.. thanks for all your support 👌👏👍 ..regards Pete
@@PaintHQ Thanks for the information. That's the only thing I'm concerned about, not moving fast enough on the spindles when using an airless and getting runs. I suppose it's more practise and will get easier. Funny you mention uPVC and kitchens. I will be booked on both those courses in the near future. I've been asked 3 times in the last month to do some kitchens but im a bit nervous if I'm honest. It can be expensive if it all goes wrong 😂 Talking paints, have you sprayed the WRX satin? Supposedly it comes up amazing. I'm going to be doing some doors in my house at the weekend to see for myself. 😃
Hey buddy, I haven’t tried WRX but I have heard good reports about the brand and the products they produce.. will be interested to hear how you get on 👍 ..I’ll have to try it too sometime 👍 ..regards Pete
Morning, Pete, interested to know: what's the benefits in having a pressure gauge connected to the air-pipe that's connected to a HVLP Gun? Also, can this pressure gauge via the air-pipe be applied to a Graco FinishPro HVLP 9.5 many thanks
Hi Beija, always great to hear from you, hope you’re keeping well.. with an air spray setup (compressor / HVLP gun), it’s important to know the pressure at the gun.. although not essential, you can still control the pressure at the compressor, but the refinishing world always refers to pressure at the gun.. it’s relatively inexpensive to add the guage and also means to can make on the job changes without walking back to the compressor.. then a pressure pot with the gauge (known as a regulated pressure pot), allows for increased dedicated fluid control, which can mean thicker materials being delivered, with the potential to atomise better.. plus you get dedicated air at the gun for atomisation.. hope that makes sense.. unfortunately I the Graco Turbine HVLP / pressure pot is unregulated, so no separate control.. the diverted air from the turbine is unable to be controlled (as is).. however I do believe it’s possible to add a small air compressor to the setup, allowing for a regulated pot and the ability to control fluid pressure.. it is possible to do this with a small unit, you don’t need a massive amount of CFM to pressurise a pot, unlike delivering air to a gun / air cap.. again hope this makes sense my friend.. always happy to help.. kind regards Pete 🎨💯
Hey Lauro, good question my friend.. just specific paints, what I’m doing is just adding a drop of water (probably around 5%.. less than 10%), just to ease the flow.. and benefit from being able to lower the pressure by 200-300 psi.. for example in this video, the durable matt on the walls, I know the material flows well and I’m able to spray without adding water at 1400psi.. however the ceiling paint I use benefits from a drop, bringing the pressure down to 1700psi (without water it would be 1900psi).. all makes airless spraying that bit easier and more pleasurable to spray 👍 ..hope you’re keeping well buddy 😆 regards Pete
Hey Lee.. thank you so much 🙏 ..It’s the Anest Iwata (pressure feed gun).. here’s a link so you can see the exact one with a 1.5 needle set www.sprayman.co.uk/product/anest-iwata-w0spg72ag15c Hope you’re keeping well my friend.. regards Pete
Hey Andrew, very kind of you to say.. just checked my diary and 7 days total buddy 👍 including lots of prep on the staircase, taking care of the handrail first, masking off and spraying the rest.. I typically allow that sort of timeframe.. you do make time up when it comes to the speed in which you can coat spindles.. the AkzoNobel products I use from Holmans spray a dream (details are in the description)👍 ..Yeah the Gentilin setup with pressure pot and Iwata gun is quality and will work hard for you.. so versatile in that you can spray everything from uPVC to kitchen cabinetry.. then of course you’re a step closer to Air Assisted Airless (if you have an airless paint sprayer already)... the video below, is the same Gentilin used as part of an AAA setup.. have a chat with Mike at SpraymanUK, he’s friendly and very knowledgeable.. he’ll point you in the right direction.. I believe the setup I use is available as a package, (mention me, Pete / PaintHQ and he’ll know) This is AAA being used.. Air Assisted Airless Setup. Spraying a Ceiling ruclips.net/video/m-xg9xqGk48/видео.html Keep in touch my friend, I’m happy to help in any way I can.. regards Pete
@@PaintHQ brilliant! I’ve got a couple of airless and a Apollo hvlp set up but I’m after a new and better one for UPVC and kitchens. I will check this guy out and really appreciate you taking the time to respond. Can’t fault you cheers pete.
Hi Pete, just wondering if you’ve tried the AKZO NOBEL AQUALIT ( SUPERCRYL) SPRAY APPLIED WATERBORNE ENAMEL TOPCOAT with air assist. If so how do you find it and what tip did you use. I’m wanting to give the product a go for a HSL but don’t have HVLP. Lots of spindles too 🤦♂️. Hence what tip would be best cheers pal
Hi Mark, that’s a very good question.. Firstly, with straight airless I’m able to spray the low viscosity waterborne products by AkzoNobel (primer and topcoat), at very low psi, using Graco FFLP .008 tips.. Primer at 900 psi and topcoat 800 psi ..Using the Durr gun, and a 309 flat tip, I couldn’t get the fluid pressure anywhere near that low.. if I did the air introduced would have to been high (too high).. might as well spray air spray.. I’d like to try a Durr .007 flat tip out of interest but when investigating the Durr .009 flow is rated .25 L/Min and a Graco FFLP .008 flow is .26 L/Min ..so the Durr double orifice tip seems to be cut smaller ..My opinion is that there’s no doubt AAA is awesome, but with the advent of fine finish airless tips (and low pressure).. the gap has closed ..but I’ve also got a lot to learn with AAA and I’m keen to persevere and spray some other products ..Using AkzoNobel, my recommendation to you is spray spindles and staircase joinery straight airless with Graco FFLP 208.. I’ve done this myself and the results are awesome, it’s a close call for me spraying AkzoNobel airless Vs HVLP (HVLP possibly use a little less material).. I’ve tried a 108 but you need to move super quick ..With a 208 you still need to move relatively quick, but it’s more realistic to spray with ..and the overspray is not that bad at all, the control you have spraying at 800 / 900 psi is a joy to spray ..hope this helps, let me know how you get on.. If you go AAA, I’d be keen to learn your setup ..then if you go with a Graco FFLP 208 I don’t think you’ll be disappointed at all.. keep in touch.. regards Pete
Thanks Pete, it was Martin at Sprayman I was speaking to and he mentioned about you. It’s a Durr gun I’ve just got with the standard .009 tip. Would you say the paint consistency is less than standard water based such as Caparol etc. Out of interest what woodwork and door pu paint have you found works well with the Durr. I was liking the supercryl because of the quick drying time . I’d be very interested into what you think works well. I’ve only just come back to spraying after an absence. I was airless spraying 30 years ago in the states. When I came back I started doing it over here but the masking products weren’t available like they are now. Air assisted is a new road for me and I’ve gone down it to make it more cleaner way to spray as opposed to airless. I’ll be also using it for walls as well 😊
Hi Mark, it’ll be an absolute pleasure to help you all I can.. Martin and the SpraymanUK team are great, I’m always happy to support them 👍 ..Tell you what, drop me an email when you get a minute to painthq.mail@gmail.com ..might be easier to communicate that way.. you’ve purchased well with the Durr.. Must say I’ve got a lot to learn myself, we might be able to learn from each other 👍😆 ..I’ve done this video in the Durr, spraying walls and ceiling (as you mention).. it was my intention to spray the staircase AAA with AkzoNobel, but with this incredibly thin product, I couldn’t quite get the pressure down (without adding masses of atomising air) Vs that of straight airless / FFLP 208 / 308 ..

Ps I’m full of admiration of the way the US has led the way in domestic / contractor spraying 👏👏👏 ..Regards Pete
Hi mate great video what u charging for a job like that? Just I normally charge more for my spraying jobs. Compared to normal painting works. A lot of customers don’t appreciate the work and a lot better finish with the spray works and don’t normally want to pay the extra
Hey Leigh, really appreciate your input, you raise a valid topic on ‘pricing jobs’.. basically I charge the same Vs a manual approach (brush/roller), but I do like to think that I still produce a very high end finish with a brush/roller.. so with all that skill set, you are worth more as a tradesman ..you’re right, there’s no doubting the superior finish of sprayed joinery.. I look to spray on all jobs, all ceilings / woodwork gets sprayed ..and 9 times out of 10 I’ll spray walls too.. Hope this makes sense, keep in touch my friend.. regards Pete
Hey Flavio, I like a few extra control features of using a compressor / HVLP setup, especially the pressure pot.. but the Wagner XVLP is still a great machine.. I’ll have to feature using it again in a future video.. hope you’re keeping well my friend.. regards Pete
Thanks for your feedback my friend - to be honest, I’m not sure that Cover Stain has the same stain blocking performance as a shellac such as BIN 🤔 - regards Pete
Great job Pete fairplay you are a amazing sprayer , could you not spray same on spindles finish just with airless instead of hvlp ?? im spraying kitchen first time this week bit nervous any advice ?? ive got graco gxff diamond eggshell customer got
Thank you Niall, very much appreciate the kind words.. yeah AkzoNobel sprays awesome with FFLP 208 / 308 tips.. I chose HVLP on this occasion, just for that bit more control spraying spindles and intricate areas.. it’s a close call though, both spray great.. and you use less material with HVLP.. I can appreciate a first time taking on a new project is daunting.. you’ll be fine my friend.. remove the doors, making a methodical note where they all go.. mask a line first on the inside edge of the cabinetry, (along where you’re wanting to spray the front edge).. then brown paper or plastic the insides (middles).. like I say, you’ll be absolutely fine my friend.. keep in touch and let me know how it goes 👌👍 ..regards Pete 🎨💯
Hi Niall, sorry for not replying sooner, I didn’t see the comment in my regular feed.. 7 days in total my friend, prep to job complete .. the dark handrail adds time with it being sprayed separate to the main joinery and there was 2 radiators that were primed and topcoat sprayed too.. I typically book 6 or 7 day’s for a HSL of this size 👍 ..regards Pete
Hey pete no worries at all , that kitchen i was saying to spray , im spraying everything walls ceilings same colour and woodwork dark grey kitchen units navy , customer bit moaning cause on it 3 days today just start spraying cause kitchen big alot tapeing up covering up , cause 3 different colours hard price do it on day rate , and probably thinking cost be expensive now 🤷🏽♂️ cause said if i rolled first day monday all ceilings and walls probably be finished.but i wanted do it all see the finish cause nice project pete , do you ever get customers like that ??
It’ll be worth it buddy, customer will be amazed by the finish.. it’s all about the preparation, and it’s a big kitchen so it takes extra time.. pretty much all my work is done to price, but I do know what you mean.. I spend a lot of time on prep, but I still feel the pressure, because I sense the customer is just wanting to see ‘colour on the walls’.. I always say, colour is the last part, (especially with spraying) ..and it all comes together very quickly.. it’ll work out great my friend, you’ll do an amazing job 💯
Morning pete .its my first time doing spraying like this with customers living in home 🤦♂️ i seen them peep through kitchen window at me when tapeing 🤣 I did other way around. Ceilings and walls one colour, did them first finish , dado rail skirting boards different colours, and kitchen different and have island different colour again , so how i tape the finish walls spray units
Thank you very buddy.. that’s a very good question, I do use an extractor.. I rate this one.. Clarke CAM300B - 12" Portable Ventilator Air Mover / Fume Extractor The 5m 12” ducting is extra, you can buy more and link them together if needed. An important note, this model does not have the spark protection, so it’s for waterborne materials only.. look into the risks, the explosion risk is a serious issue.. If you require any further details, or where to purchase.. I’m more than happy to help if I can my friend 👌👍😆 ..regards Pete
Yeah the ducting can attach either end of the machine (one end draws air in, the other blows out).. On a HSL I’ll setup in the hallway, with the ducting running out of the door leading outside.. so the extractor sucks air in (any plastic in close proximity will be sucked in).. and dust is blown outside.. it’s worth checking outside so no dust is blowing onto the property, you can place a dust sheet at the opening.. what you normally find the ducting acts as a diffuser and catches the dust in the tube.. one tip is open a window slightly upstairs, this will create a draw of air through the working area.. you see me do this on this HSL project..

Hey, thanks for your question.. yeah I’ve sprayed a very flat matt (F&B Estate Emulsion).. F&B sprayed horrible, probably down to the pigment.. however the result on the wall looked great, a low sheen finish should look better than a silk finish for example.. is this what you mean my friend? Apologies if I’ve misunderstood the question.. happy to help if I can.. regards Pete 🎨💯
Do you mean a low sheen trim paint.. eggshell ?.. If so, yeah I’d spray the trim / woodwork first, overspray onto the wall, mask off the next day and then spray walls up onto the ceiling.. last day walls get masked and ceiling is sprayed.. I check the trim paint overspray on the walls and give a slight key if needed before spraying the emulsion.. I’m so sorry my friend, I’m still not entirely sure what you mean 🙈 ..regards Pete
Cracking Finish,!👍 Hope you can help. Can you suggest a sprayer for just skirting, architrave, doors etc. still on brush and roller and thinking of trying to spray the woodwork then if all successful go onto walls and ceilings at a later date.
Apologies for the delayed reply, I only just seen the notification for this comment.. you’re very wise, spraying woodwork, such as runs of skirting, doors, sills is a great place to start.. the finish is incredible, customers are really impressed.. especially the transformation you can achieve on window sills.. the Graco GXFF will suit your needs and more, meaning you could venture into ceilings with no problems 👍 ..let me know how you get on and keep in touch, I’m happy to help some more ..regards Pete 💙💯
Apologies for not replying sooner my friend.. basically I charge the same for spraying as I would for a manual brush / roller application.. customers pay for quality and service, spraying adds that next level of quality, professional service and efficiency to complete the job 💯 ..Keep in touch, it’s great to have your contribution and input on the channel.. regards Pete
Hey Daniel, really appreciate your feedback and involvement on the channel.. I’m more than happy for you to list the obvious changes and I’ll look to improve and implement in future 👍😆.. all the very best my friend, keep in touch.. regards Pete 🎨💯

Another great video love to see the start to finish ones, really gives a novice sprayer like me the confidence to spray confined domestic areas , I notice you use the Wagner tip instead of the graco LP is it just personal preference of are they better tips many thanks for taking the the time to do these videos all the best Roger
Hi Roger, that’s very nice of you to say and it’s great to hear my videos give you a little inspiration.. all brand manufacturers have a great comparable range of spray tips, some suiting particular materials.. I find the Wagner HEA 515 enables me to spray up to 500 psi less and still produce a nice feathered fan pattern.. the atomisation is a little courser Vs other low pressure tips, but that no problem at all when spraying emulsions.. being able to spray at low pressures, in my opinion is the key to be able to spray confidently on domestic projects.. you get so much control, and less overspray / less bounce back.. you use less material and you’re almost able to take your time moving the gun.. spraying is more pleasurable 😆 sorry I sound like an advert.. I’m not my friend 👍 ..hope this helps.. regards Pete
I was literally coming on to write an almost identical post to Roger's. Keep up the great work Pete, your videos and advise are amazing.
Ah thank you my friend.. appreciate the input 😆
Stunning job mate, very arty video too 😀love it. i take it the 208 tip would have been to much for the spindles. The banister looks awesome as does the finished result.
just in the middle of a 20 metre square room, gloss skirt, 3 wall + 1 feature wall and ceiling. All being sprayed your way from the floor up. will let you no how it goes, looks good so far.
i've not been on for a bit as i've been building the She Shed but still been watching your vids. i was meaning to comment on the Graco power roller as it definitely needs the whip, still not bought it yet.
Keep up the good work. Cheers Paul from Aus.
Hey Paul, really great to hear from you 🇦🇺❤️😆 ..Glad to hear you’re busy my friend, and having success.. a 208 does spray spindles with these low viscosity paints very well, you’re right though, you do need to move quicker to account for the faster flow.. so HVLP gives that bit more control, slowing down and narrowing the fan.. and you do use a little more paint through the airless 👍 feel free to msg any time, like I say always a pleasure 👌👏😆 ..Regards Pete

Hello!
What stain did you use at the start? Also, what’s your impression on the Akzo Nobel paints? Do you thin them at all?
I presume the lacquer you got is just clear colour?
Also, I recently used my Gentilin, pressure pot and FLG-5 fitted with a 1.8mm needle. I diluted some BM Aqua Advanced Satin down by 10-15% and sprayed a door. Ended up with a bumpy / textured surface in places - I’m going to sand it back and try again.
I think I’ll try using a 1.4mm needle, diluting less and applying a thicker coat. Do you have any more thoughts? Sorry for all the questions!
Thanks
Hey Sam, always great to hear from you.. the stain was a waterborne dye by Liiberon.. technically I prefer a spirit based but always opt for a waterborne dye when refinishing with a waterborne clear lacquer.. I have to say and this is by no means an advert 😆 but these waterborne manufacturer coatings by AkzoNobel are one of the best (satin) finishes I’ve used.. they are low viscosity, spray only products.. no thinning, spray beautifully with HVLP and even airless with a 208 / 308 tip..
BM Advance is a great waterborne Alkyd product, I’ve used with a brush before with great success.. equally I know it sprays excellent with airless.. Whilst I haven’t had experience spraying Advance through HVLP.. The symptoms you describe, sounds like too much air / not enough fluid.. which can create a dry / rough finish (not enough fluid).. or if ‘orange peel‘, fluid is perhaps ok, but too much air creates the orange peel and it’s not levelling out in time.. I normally stick around a 1.5 needle.. don’t look to thin with water, i only add water as a last resort.. try warming your paint, by submerging the can in hot water (hot as you can get).. also a paint conditioner such as a drop of Floetrol can work wonders and help the finish level out.. BM do their version called Extender.. then get the air / fluid balance right, to lay on a ‘wet’ coat.. hope this helps, let me know how it goes.. then if you get chance, try AkzoNobel I know you’ll be very impressed 😆 keep in touch, happy to help some more.. regards Pete
@@PaintHQ Hello Pete, top bloke thanks for the detailed reply. Much appreciated! I’m going to have a play around with the setup and see if I can get it spraying nice. I think I just thinned it too much and sprayed it on with too much air, it certainly wasn’t a thick coat like I’ve done previously with my airless. Good idea about heating the paint up, I’ll try that before diluting the BM next time.
I think I’m going to give the Akzo Nobel a shot, I like the idea of not needing to mess about getting the right consistency every time! I’ll be stripping my Victorian staircase back later this year, and I will be following your process when it’s ready to stain and paint.
Thanks again!!
You’re very welcome my friend, anytime 😆
Hey buddy, love the channel and love your work. I do have a concern for the future though, spraying the ceiling last uses so much plastic it can’t be sustainable and potentially plastic prices will rise massively. Would spraying the ceiling first and then masking it off with paper when doing the walls last not be better?
Keep up the vids please, I’m learning with every upload you do 👍
Hey Jason, really appreciate you supporting the channel.. you make a very valid point about the plastic and it’s something I’ve thought about myself.. technically it’s more difficult to mask a line the other way round.. bit like cutting in with a brush, it would be very challenging to cut in a ceiling and paint the ceiling last.. that said, it can be done and you know what.. I’ll make a note and look to try it, along with a video 😆 ..it would take at least 2 runs of 12” paper, ideally 3 ..I use that amount if masking a feature wall.. whilst I believe with the right tip / pressure / setup, you can minimise overspray.. you’d be surprised how the wall colour could end up on the ceiling a fraction 🙈 ..just to add, I do try to repurpose the plastic, wrapping kit to take off the job for example and recycle any without paint .. but there’s no denying, the potential for waste, that’s spoiled with paint.. thanks for the feedback my friend, really appreciate it and the support .. regards Pete 🎨💯
Just quality
Thank you Steve, as always I appreciate your feedback.. hope you’re keeping well buddy 👌👍😆
Hi Peter, hope all is all. Well looks like I'll be getting a gx21 with the hopper kit from sprayman uk hopefully within next few weeks. As I'm new to spraying I'd appreciate your help as I know you're always reliable and can count on you. Basically I mainly use johnstones paints and just wondering is there an average tip size I should be using and which ones to buy?
Maybe a 5.14 for emulsions (cover matt mainly)
Maybe 2.10 for the aqua gloss/undercoat
And would you recommend a even smaller tip for doing spindles?
Sorry if it's long and appreciate any help. Look forward to your next video
Hi Callum, great news you’re taking the step into the wonderful world of spraying.. the GX21FF will serve you well and the team at SpraymanUK will expertly look after you 😆 ..I’m more than happy to help you all I can, feel free to ask questions anytime.. the GX21 comes with a LP 517 (for emulsions) and an FFLP 310 for decorative trim / woodwork paints.. you’ll certainly get up and running with these spray tips.. it might be worth adding a 515, now I prefer the Wagner HEA 515, you can spray at a lower pressure, which makes for ‘cleaner’ spraying and more control.. You’ll also need a Wagner TradeTip 3 7/8” Tip Guard.. but like I say, no rush.. you can get spraying with what’s in the box and look to invest later..
For spindles, I’d got for a 210 (or a 208 if you was to be spraying thinner coatings).. there’s a 110 (2” fan).. but the paint will fly out with a narrow, concentrated fan.. this video explains ‘fluid flow’..

You’re so kind, thank you Callum 🙏
Hi Pete , great video mate , top quality as always . Did you find you where getting many blockages using the Albany durable matt ? I recently sprayed a HSL walls and ceiling with the Albany Durable matt through my GX21 , 515 HEA tip ,strained and eased to help flow and had a number of blockages ? I have had little or no probs with Armstead or Dulux Durable . Keep up the great content and thank you mate 👍
Hi Colin, thank you watching, appreciate the support.. I have once, spraying Albany Durable using the Graco Handheld.. what I noticed, the paint felt ‘gritty’, you could feel what I guess was a heavy pigment when rubbing between fingers.. clearly a bad batch, very frustrating getting a tip blockage every few seconds.. otherwise I’m a big fan spraying this product, if it happened to me again especially through a bigger pump, I’d loose faith in the product ☹️ ..thanks for sharing, appreciate your input on the channel.. you’re spraying with a great setup my friend 👌👏👍😆 ..regards Pete
Hi Pete, i been meaning to ask and i keep forgetting, i have wash the graco/21 every time after use, assuming this is the right way to go? what I'm not sure is if i should fill with pump armor after every use o just if I'm not using for a long period of time. witch brings me to another question ,what's a long period of time? 1 day ?1 week? a month? best regards Flavio
Hi Flavio, good question.. yeah give the GX21 a good flush through / clean every time 👍
..I personally use Pump Armor every time, it takes a few seconds and if the pump is clean, the used Pump Armor can be primed back into the bottle each time before you setup to spray.. otherwise if you was using the sprayer the next day, it wouldn’t matter if you just gave it a good clean and left clean water in the pump.. just to add, I don’t put Pump Armor through the paint hose (I store the hose attached to the sprayer).. I just prime Pump Armor through the machine 👍 hope this helps my friend.. regards Pete
Pete you are costing me a fortune. Now I've got to go out and buy an HVLP 🤣🤣🤣
On a serious note I really enjoyed this video. It must take a long time to produce. I was talking about an HVLP on a forum the other day. People were for them, others against them. Some think airless is better for stairs as your always filling the pot with the HVLP and it takes longer. All down to personal preference really. Do you think the finish is better with the HVLP?
Great video as usual Pete, I've learned so much from you. Cheers 👍🏻
Haha 😂 sorry my friend 🤣
..First off, airless is awesome and with the introduction of fine finish tips (various brands), coupled with the right product / setup (tip size / pressure) and technique.. the finish is awesome 👌 ..The AkzoNobel waterborne products featured in this video, all spray beautifully at very low pressure 800 / 900 psi, with .008 tips (I tend to use a 208).. the finish with the HVLP setup that I feature, is very marginally better (the custoner wouldn’t see a difference).. I believe the key to spraying the ultimate / smoothest finish is laying on just the right amount of material.. pushing the boundary to the brink of getting runs in the paint 🙈 ..HVLP lends itself because you can tweak and control the flow.. you can actually get close to airless speed.. whereas airless you have no choice but to move relatively quick and once an area gets hit multiple times, you could get a run ☹️
If you went HVLP, my personal opinion is go with a compressor setup.. less noise (vs a turbine), more manoeuvrability with the air line, you can (more easily) add a regulated pressure pot (means more dedicated air to gun, with that it’s possible to atomise thicker materials), you get more for your money (pressure pot / gun etc are cheaper).. and for me ultimately, you could convert to AAA (Air Assisted Airless).. sorry I’m not out to sell you something, just give a little background.. all good, especially if you was to look at spraying PVC, spray kitchen cabinets or general cabinetry.. apologies I’m waffling.. always here to help you if I can my friend.. thanks for all your support 👌👏👍 ..regards Pete
@@PaintHQ Thanks for the information. That's the only thing I'm concerned about, not moving fast enough on the spindles when using an airless and getting runs. I suppose it's more practise and will get easier.
Funny you mention uPVC and kitchens. I will be booked on both those courses in the near future. I've been asked 3 times in the last month to do some kitchens but im a bit nervous if I'm honest. It can be expensive if it all
goes wrong 😂
Talking paints, have you sprayed the WRX satin? Supposedly it comes up amazing. I'm going to be doing some doors in my house at the weekend to see for myself. 😃
Hey buddy, I haven’t tried WRX but I have heard good reports about the brand and the products they produce.. will be interested to hear how you get on 👍 ..I’ll have to try it too sometime 👍 ..regards Pete
Morning, Pete, interested to know: what's the benefits in having a pressure gauge connected to the air-pipe that's connected to a HVLP Gun? Also, can this pressure gauge via the air-pipe be applied to a Graco FinishPro HVLP 9.5
many thanks
Hi Beija, always great to hear from you, hope you’re keeping well.. with an air spray setup (compressor / HVLP gun), it’s important to know the pressure at the gun.. although not essential, you can still control the pressure at the compressor, but the refinishing world always refers to pressure at the gun.. it’s relatively inexpensive to add the guage and also means to can make on the job changes without walking back to the compressor.. then a pressure pot with the gauge (known as a regulated pressure pot), allows for increased dedicated fluid control, which can mean thicker materials being delivered, with the potential to atomise better.. plus you get dedicated air at the gun for atomisation.. hope that makes sense.. unfortunately I the Graco Turbine HVLP / pressure pot is unregulated, so no separate control.. the diverted air from the turbine is unable to be controlled (as is).. however I do believe it’s possible to add a small air compressor to the setup, allowing for a regulated pot and the ability to control fluid pressure.. it is possible to do this with a small unit, you don’t need a massive amount of CFM to pressurise a pot, unlike delivering air to a gun / air cap.. again hope this makes sense my friend.. always happy to help.. kind regards Pete 🎨💯
Hey buddy you always thin the paint to spray with airless machine or just some specific paints?
Hey Lauro, good question my friend.. just specific paints, what I’m doing is just adding a drop of water (probably around 5%.. less than 10%), just to ease the flow.. and benefit from being able to lower the pressure by 200-300 psi.. for example in this video, the durable matt on the walls, I know the material flows well and I’m able to spray without adding water at 1400psi.. however the ceiling paint I use benefits from a drop, bringing the pressure down to 1700psi (without water it would be 1900psi).. all makes airless spraying that bit easier and more pleasurable to spray 👍 ..hope you’re keeping well buddy 😆 regards Pete
Great job 👌
The hte spray gun you are using, what make is it cheers
Hey Lee.. thank you so much 🙏 ..It’s the Anest Iwata (pressure feed gun).. here’s a link so you can see the exact one with a 1.5 needle set

Thankyou 👍
Brilliant work 👌🏻how long did this project take you roughly? I’m thinking of getting the spray man set up now I’ve seen you use it 😃👍🏻
Hey Andrew, very kind of you to say.. just checked my diary and 7 days total buddy 👍 including lots of prep on the staircase, taking care of the handrail first, masking off and spraying the rest.. I typically allow that sort of timeframe.. you do make time up when it comes to the speed in which you can coat spindles.. the AkzoNobel products I use from Holmans spray a dream (details are in the description)👍 ..Yeah the Gentilin setup with pressure pot and Iwata gun is quality and will work hard for you.. so versatile in that you can spray everything from uPVC to kitchen cabinetry.. then of course you’re a step closer to Air Assisted Airless (if you have an airless paint sprayer already)... the video below, is the same Gentilin used as part of an AAA setup..
have a chat with Mike at SpraymanUK, he’s friendly and very knowledgeable.. he’ll point you in the right direction.. I believe the setup I use is available as a package, (mention me, Pete / PaintHQ and he’ll know)
This is AAA being used..

Hi Pete, just wondering if you’ve tried the AKZO NOBEL AQUALIT ( SUPERCRYL) SPRAY APPLIED WATERBORNE ENAMEL TOPCOAT with air assist. If so how do you find it and what tip did you use. I’m wanting to give the product a go for a HSL but don’t have HVLP. Lots of spindles too 🤦♂️. Hence what tip would be best cheers pal
Hi Mark, that’s a very good question.. Firstly, with straight airless I’m able to spray the low viscosity waterborne products by AkzoNobel (primer and topcoat), at very low psi, using Graco FFLP .008 tips.. Primer at 900 psi and topcoat 800 psi ..Using the Durr gun, and a 309 flat tip, I couldn’t get the fluid pressure anywhere near that low.. if I did the air introduced would have to been high (too high).. might as well spray air spray.. I’d like to try a Durr .007 flat tip out of interest but when investigating the Durr .009 flow is rated .25 L/Min and a Graco FFLP .008 flow is .26 L/Min ..so the Durr double orifice tip seems to be cut smaller ..My opinion is that there’s no doubt AAA is awesome, but with the advent of fine finish airless tips (and low pressure).. the gap has closed ..but I’ve also got a lot to learn with AAA and I’m keen to persevere and spray some other products ..Using AkzoNobel, my recommendation to you is spray spindles and staircase joinery straight airless with Graco FFLP 208.. I’ve done this myself and the results are awesome, it’s a close call for me spraying AkzoNobel airless Vs HVLP (HVLP possibly use a little less material).. I’ve tried a 108 but you need to move super quick ..With a 208 you still need to move relatively quick, but it’s more realistic to spray with ..and the overspray is not that bad at all, the control you have spraying at 800 / 900 psi is a joy to spray ..hope this helps, let me know how you get on.. If you go AAA, I’d be keen to learn your setup ..then if you go with a Graco FFLP 208 I don’t think you’ll be disappointed at all.. keep in touch.. regards Pete
Thanks Pete, it was Martin at Sprayman I was speaking to and he mentioned about you. It’s a Durr gun I’ve just got with the standard .009 tip. Would you say the paint consistency is less than standard water based such as Caparol etc. Out of interest what woodwork and door pu paint have you found works well with the Durr. I was liking the supercryl because of the quick drying time . I’d be very interested into what you think works well. I’ve only just come back to spraying after an absence. I was airless spraying 30 years ago in the states. When I came back I started doing it over here but the masking products weren’t available like they are now. Air assisted is a new road for me and I’ve gone down it to make it more cleaner way to spray as opposed to airless. I’ll be also using it for walls as well 😊
Hi Mark, it’ll be an absolute pleasure to help you all I can.. Martin and the SpraymanUK team are great, I’m always happy to support them 👍 ..Tell you what, drop me an email when you get a minute to painthq.mail@gmail.com ..might be easier to communicate that way.. you’ve purchased well with the Durr.. Must say I’ve got a lot to learn myself, we might be able to learn from each other 👍😆 ..I’ve done this video in the Durr, spraying walls and ceiling (as you mention).. it was my intention to spray the staircase AAA with AkzoNobel, but with this incredibly thin product, I couldn’t quite get the pressure down (without adding masses of atomising air) Vs that of straight airless / FFLP 208 / 308 ..

Hi mate great video what u charging for a job like that? Just I normally charge more for my spraying jobs. Compared to normal painting works. A lot of customers don’t appreciate the work and a lot better finish with the spray works and don’t normally want to pay the extra
Hey Leigh, really appreciate your input, you raise a valid topic on ‘pricing jobs’.. basically I charge the same Vs a manual approach (brush/roller), but I do like to think that I still produce a very high end finish with a brush/roller.. so with all that skill set, you are worth more as a tradesman ..you’re right, there’s no doubting the superior finish of sprayed joinery.. I look to spray on all jobs, all ceilings / woodwork gets sprayed ..and 9 times out of 10 I’ll spray walls too.. Hope this makes sense, keep in touch my friend.. regards Pete
Just wondering if you still using your wagner hvlp? best regards Flavio
Hey Flavio, I like a few extra control features of using a compressor / HVLP setup, especially the pressure pot.. but the Wagner XVLP is still a great machine.. I’ll have to feature using it again in a future video.. hope you’re keeping well my friend.. regards Pete
Why wouldn’t you use the cheaper Zinsser cover stain?
Thanks for your feedback my friend - to be honest, I’m not sure that Cover Stain has the same stain blocking performance as a shellac such as BIN 🤔 - regards Pete
Great job Pete fairplay you are a amazing sprayer , could you not spray same on spindles finish just with airless instead of hvlp ?? im spraying kitchen first time this week bit nervous any advice ?? ive got graco gxff diamond eggshell customer got
Thank you Niall, very much appreciate the kind words.. yeah AkzoNobel sprays awesome with FFLP 208 / 308 tips.. I chose HVLP on this occasion, just for that bit more control spraying spindles and intricate areas.. it’s a close call though, both spray great.. and you use less material with HVLP.. I can appreciate a first time taking on a new project is daunting.. you’ll be fine my friend.. remove the doors, making a methodical note where they all go.. mask a line first on the inside edge of the cabinetry, (along where you’re wanting to spray the front edge).. then brown paper or plastic the insides (middles).. like I say, you’ll be absolutely fine my friend.. keep in touch and let me know how it goes 👌👍 ..regards Pete 🎨💯
Ah you are so welcome buddy , Thankyou kindly for your help , i will ye let you know cheers Pete 👍
how long did that take in total pete prep etc to walking out door all done ??
Hi Niall, sorry for not replying sooner, I didn’t see the comment in my regular feed.. 7 days in total my friend, prep to job complete .. the dark handrail adds time with it being sprayed separate to the main joinery and there was 2 radiators that were primed and topcoat sprayed too.. I typically book 6 or 7 day’s for a HSL of this size 👍 ..regards Pete
Hey pete no worries at all , that kitchen i was saying to spray , im spraying everything walls ceilings same colour and woodwork dark grey kitchen units navy , customer bit moaning cause on it 3 days today just start spraying cause kitchen big alot tapeing up covering up , cause 3 different colours hard price do it on day rate , and probably thinking cost be expensive now 🤷🏽♂️ cause said if i rolled first day monday all ceilings and walls probably be finished.but i wanted do it all see the finish cause nice project pete , do you ever get customers like that ??
It’ll be worth it buddy, customer will be amazed by the finish.. it’s all about the preparation, and it’s a big kitchen so it takes extra time.. pretty much all my work is done to price, but I do know what you mean.. I spend a lot of time on prep, but I still feel the pressure, because I sense the customer is just wanting to see ‘colour on the walls’.. I always say, colour is the last part, (especially with spraying) ..and it all comes together very quickly.. it’ll work out great my friend, you’ll do an amazing job 💯
Morning pete .its my first time doing spraying like this with customers living in home 🤦♂️ i seen them peep through kitchen window at me when tapeing 🤣 I did other way around. Ceilings and walls one colour, did them first finish , dado rail skirting boards different colours, and kitchen different and have island different colour again , so how i tape the finish walls spray units
Wow it will look awesome, you’re doing a great job.. let me know if you’re happy how it went when you’ve finished.. well done buddy 👌😆

An important note, this model does not have the spark protection, so it’s for waterborne materials only.. look into the risks, the explosion risk is a serious issue..
If you require any further details, or where to purchase.. I’m more than happy to help if I can my friend 👌👍😆
..regards Pete
Interesting - with that can you attach the duct to either end or do you have the unit in the area you are spraying?
Yeah the ducting can attach either end of the machine (one end draws air in, the other blows out).. On a HSL I’ll setup in the hallway, with the ducting running out of the door leading outside.. so the extractor sucks air in (any plastic in close proximity will be sucked in).. and dust is blown outside.. it’s worth checking outside so no dust is blowing onto the property, you can place a dust sheet at the opening.. what you normally find the ducting acts as a diffuser and catches the dust in the tube.. one tip is open a window slightly upstairs, this will create a draw of air through the working area.. you see me do this on this HSL project..

Thanks for getting back to me - very helpful, thanks.
Have you used low sheen on walls as a sprayed finish?
Hey, thanks for your question.. yeah I’ve sprayed a very flat matt (F&B Estate Emulsion).. F&B sprayed horrible, probably down to the pigment.. however the result on the wall looked great, a low sheen finish should look better than a silk finish for example.. is this what you mean my friend? Apologies if I’ve misunderstood the question.. happy to help if I can.. regards Pete 🎨💯
@@PaintHQ sorry pal , the question was have you ever used low sheen paint on the walls and final coat was sprayed , cheers,
Do you mean a low sheen trim paint.. eggshell ?.. If so, yeah I’d spray the trim / woodwork first, overspray onto the wall, mask off the next day and then spray walls up onto the ceiling.. last day walls get masked and ceiling is sprayed.. I check the trim paint overspray on the walls and give a slight key if needed before spraying the emulsion.. I’m so sorry my friend, I’m still not entirely sure what you mean 🙈 ..regards Pete
@@PaintHQ all good mate, cheers
Cracking Finish,!👍 Hope you can help. Can you suggest a sprayer for just skirting, architrave, doors etc. still on brush and roller and thinking of trying to spray the woodwork then if all successful go onto walls and ceilings at a later date.
Apologies for the delayed reply, I only just seen the notification for this comment.. you’re very wise, spraying woodwork, such as runs of skirting, doors, sills is a great place to start.. the finish is incredible, customers are really impressed.. especially the transformation you can achieve on window sills.. the Graco GXFF will suit your needs and more, meaning you could venture into ceilings with no problems 👍 ..let me know how you get on and keep in touch, I’m happy to help some more ..regards Pete 💙💯
Many thanks for your reply, by the way, great informative vids, cheers@@PaintHQ 👍
How much do you charge for a job like this?.
Apologies for not replying sooner my friend.. basically I charge the same for spraying as I would for a manual brush / roller application.. customers pay for quality and service, spraying adds that next level of quality, professional service and efficiency to complete the job 💯 ..Keep in touch, it’s great to have your contribution and input on the channel.. regards Pete

No problem buddy, hope my answer covers this 😆
Decent enough finish but in my professional experience and opinion few mistakes and obvious changes needed
