Used this last summer to paint an rv with rustoleum oil enamel paint. Had zero issues with it. You don't have to thin the paint, but it can make it a little easier. You have to play around with the settings a little bit to get the spray right. One big thing that you need to do is allow the blower to fully spin up before you start spraying. Partially pressing the trigger will turn on the blower without paint and fully pulling on the trigger will start spraying. This also allows you to stop spraying without turning off the blower. It makes a huge difference.
This unit has a two stage trigger. This will prevent the spitting. Read the manual and you'll figure it out. The first stage pulls the paint to the nozzle and the second stage pushes the paint out for no spitting. I use mine all the time and with no issues.
It’s pretty self explanatory guys. Pull the trigger lightly and you will hear the pump motor come on. A second or so later, you can fully depress the trigger with no spitting. It’s basically like priming the paint up to the tip.
You know, I bought this same sprayer. And the first instruction says that you should run water through it prior to using it. I use the same type of paint and did not have to thin it at all. He Must have had a setting to stain instead of paint. I had absolutely no problems with this device. I completed my whole patio project (4 gallons) with it. I believe I’ll do a video on it. It was easy to clean. And I found it very easy to work with. Did you notice I said easy twice because that’s how easy it was to use it. No training required for this item. I had the old power plus model and it still works this was like a nice upgrade.
Worked perfect for me too!! If you're having this same issue or having any problem out of this sprayer it's because you cant read instructions!!! It's not the sprayer having issues it's the person using it!!!
I just bought this sprayer and used it to paint inside my house. It worked fine, left even layers of paint. You have to wipe the tip often just to make sure it doesn't build up.
So your problem is. You pull trigger halfway to start turbine. Then full depress trigger to apply paint. As for no filter. You need to strain your paint before putting into container.
Issue with splatting i feel like if you dont have the motor running before the paint spraying. (Meaning, a partial trigger pull will turn on the motor only, and a full pull back will engage the paint spraying as well. So you should run the motor for a sec before engaging the paint. I didnt have any splatting issues because i did that when painting.) Hope this helps! Great vid by the way!
The sprayer worked well for me. I suggest first-time newbies practice with water instead of paint. I suggest watering down a little. I purchased produce "flotrol" and it worked great. THe sprayer worked great for me. Very nice finish after practice. Saved a lot of time painting shutter doors. If you do get blockage you will need to clean out the sprayer head. In conclusion, it worked great. I give it 4 stars.
Your results were the same as mine. I called Wagner and they told me I did not have to thin my paint, Behr white latex, (same as in this video). Thank God for your video explaining what I needed to do.
I just bought this to spray my iron fence. I had the same problems as you! I am glad it was just not me. I had to stop twice to clean the nozzle and the canister only to have it clog again. My paint was brand new. Very disappointed and expensive sprayer.
I agree that the heavier paint is tougher to use with that sprayer but FOUR things I saw you fail at. 1.) let the motor fill the air flow or catch up (then) pull all the way back on the trigger. 2.)The other main thing you did wrong was to turn the gun always keep the bucket vertical. Its the same concept as using a straw there Boss. 3.) keep the tip clean. 4.) I'm not impressed that you are only honest with us when you tell us you're being honest with us.
The spitting might be a result of not adjusting the uptake nozzle inside the container that draws the paint up. You turn it forward when pointing down, backward when pointing up. That can get messy on the fly so it's probably best it keep the sprayer level and crouch/kneel to paint anything below your waist, say and use a step ladder for anything over your head. Also, you have to keep the paint container really full.
The paint store will shake the paint for you if it has been sitting around for a while. Use Floetrol to thin out the paint a bit and to help with a smooth finish.
Great review I bought this at bug box store for 38 on clearance and probably won’t even take it out of the box. The store had 4-6 of these and after watching ur video it appears why. . Thx for the video u saved me a ton of time !!
3+ yrs ago i bought this as a combo pack 2000/3000 at a really good price..so I can't return it now ..its been sitting in storage and now i ready to paint ..its good to know it won't be all operator error when this clugs up on me
you turn the nozzle clockwise or counter clockwise.. Did you read the instructions? Also, you should just run your paint through a simple screen/filter as it goes in lol
@@ToolReviewZone it is just an extra nozzle, same as the one on it. Should strain paint on any sprayer. Your paint was not to thick from the look of it but the trigger is 2 step, first fan than paint which is variable for volumn.
ginaallis0n ha agreed! He keeps switching the vertical/horizontal spray pattern switch and saying “now it’s in ‘high/low’ mode”. Uhh no dude... the spray dial is the red one that you haven’t touched once... Maybe read the directions before doing a tool review...
Omg, I had exactly the same issue. I thought it was too thick and added some water, just like you did, still spitting. Lol. But saw some comments mentioning the 2 phases thing, hope it will work.
Got a pretty good deal on one from qvc works pretty good for me. You might have to strain or thin the paint.was wishing I had a carrying case. I called wagner they had one for about twenty-five dollars everything fits in it perfectly.
Your doing it wrong, your suppose to slightly pull the trigger get the motor running then squeeze that's the reason why its spitting. Also the paint you have is thick cause it has primer.
Also I noticed he is also spraying vertical and horizontal, stick to one angle. Reason is the feeder tube inside the container should be positioned accordingly, based on your angle of your spray.
I just got this sprayer and have the same problems. paint container keeps falling off while I'm using it. keeps getting clogged and it just spits paint. taking it back asap.
Always strain your paint if you're going to use a spray gun. It can be brand new paint bought that day and it still needs strained.

we put reducer in every paint to use spray gun so in that case it's water. you dont seem to be a pro painter. you have to filter your paint into the cup every time you fill it. The gun wont do your job but help you doing it easyer and faster than a brush. i tryed the Wagner once and yes it spit a little at first but as soon it get warm it spray nice for wall and fences etc... dont expect to clear coat your BMW with it lol
I make wedding cakes, and happen to have an airbrush, which is similar to a device like this one. Guess what? It is the same problem: you have to water your icing colors if not you will have problems with the flow of the paint, clogging, etc. Any device takes time to adjust. From what I saw on the video it wasn't that bad. Also, when I bought my sprayer at Lowe's, I also bought a strainer that will help to achieve a thinner texture. So far, the device is doing its job. Good luck!!
use a strainer when you fill the tank. paints should be set to 9-11 per the manual. you won't need to thin the paint if you set the gun to 9-11 instead of the 3 you had it at... (not even close to mid-way) partially pull the trigger, let the turbine spool up, THEN pull the trigger all the way to spray.
You first should strain your paint before you pour it into the guns container. Even brand new paint that has been store shaken will have chunks in it that will cause the gun to splatter and spit.
Used it twice,the enormous waste of paint loss with overspray was ridiculous.You need to mask everything within 5m of your work.Went back to brush and roller!
Yes, yes a thousand times yes! I have the same Behr paint, color and everything as in this video and I am having the same problems! I even called Wagner and there wasn't much they could say to help me. I will try thinning the paint like in the video and hope that it helps.
Why is it that when I press the trigger fully, it depresses the container? I’m painting and all of sudden it drops the container creating splatter on my walls.
Within 3 hours of use I was on my way back to the DIY store. Something had overheated and come through the nozzle depositing a black cloud on a white wall, it looked like carbon dust.
I bought the same gun about a month ago, in Australia they call it Wagner universal sprayer W575 Flexio. I hate it. Every issue in this video I have had. I phoned Wagner cause of the splattering they told to water the paint down so I did. Still had trouble. Trying to get the correct pressure and adjust everything is a pain. I’m very disappointed and a waste of my hard earned!!!
Man ! Thank you for the video & the great comments ! 🤔 The plastic toy gun does look like a piece of junk ! & I’m afraid that motor will exploded if it gets really hot.. It’s better to be safe & just to buy a small air compressor - and a good quality automotive spray gun with different size tip nozzles ..
I appreciate what you covered here in your video. When you were spraying the table, I noticed that you didn't adjust the spray fan to the smaller width to reduce your overspray. I purchased this sprayer to paint the inside of my home, so it is somewhat disconcerting that you don't recommend using it inside. What would you recommend I incorporate into the process to get a good result inside, with this sprayer? I am also concerned about the spitting though, as you pointed out.
How loud are these Wagner sprayers today? I bought one 20 years ago to paint the exterior of a barn. The thing was SOOOO loud that it was almost unbearable to the ears. You could hear it a mile away.
I bought one and u got to thin Your paint and man I had no issues and I just finished spraying a set of cabinets and dam they came out amazing got to clean the gun and before using run a little water through her but thin your paint and adjust your settings u be find and clean your tip and clean with soap n water
This guy said fuck it!! I'll make everything white. The screw driver, the grass, my gravel and sprayer...LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'll take this guys experience/review with a grain of salt...painting is not for everyone...
Paint thinner with paint in the right mix will actually make the gun work how it's supposed too and still look nice and lol stop tilting the gun turn the spray head its adjustable for a reason guy
@@robertdawg4754 paint strainer, a paper /mesh cone filter you pour the paint through into the paint gun reservoir to keep any chunks/particles from clogging your paint gun
I have all the same problems as the reviewer and more. The one big problem container is prone to exploding off while in use. YES i cleaned the inside and very completely clean. Used it in the house and garage with NO WIND. I bought it for a project to sand and paint my kitchen cabinets. I am trying to get my money back. At best a wall sprayer and outside or fences, NO detail work or cabinets . It spits. blots and clogs. Really bummed out, as I prepped and sanded really well only to have the spray spit bubbles and blotches so I had to wait for it dry and re sand finally resorting to a disposable fine sprayer with a pint bottle . 1 STAR. NO DETAILING> Mislabeled capabilities. The reviewer was being kind. I USED TOP OF THE LINE PAINT.
Gun starts spit on start because is wrongly set up, i had same story. On sides of trigger are holes and metal pin leading to valve. It has to turn on motor and (build pressure) then push pin to open valve. I made a short film about what it should look like ruclips.net/video/rAclfk9d1cc/видео.html
This is a pretty good sprayer just most people don't know how to use it. There's really no need to dish out 400 bucks for a more expensive sprayer unless you have the cash for it.
I have a Wagner Power Painter Pro and it is very very difficult to get the paint cup back on and I'm not happy at all with this sprayer I've tried for over an hour to get it to attach and I just gave up I'm going to try to call customer service to see if they can give me a tip?
Yep! Only works for crap works for block walls and wooden fence, I have one and it's junk!. Thanks for the video. Wagner denies functionality of their products when you call them.
Complete garbage. I used Flood floetrol to help spray and it still spit and sputtered. I tried multiple settings and different paints and still had no luck, just lots of cussing and sanding afterwards..... lots of cussing.
Thanks so much for the review I too used Bher paint and had to water it down. You video just help me know I was on the right track so as to not have any clogged spray
Do NOT put anything solvent based in this gun. (like lacquer thinner) It ruins the gun. I found this out the hard way. Now my gun is in the landfill. To their credit it does say in the fine print that it will not tolerate anything with certain flash points. I argue that very few will pay attention to that. They should put right on the outside of the box, NOT FOR SOLVENT SPRAYS
Thanks for the review. You do need to follow directions and not tilt the sprayer. The nozzle rotates to go from vertical to horizontal. Also, off topic, you need to stop biting your nails. Consult your dentist for some tips on how to do this. Good luck.
Agreed.. also, the paint filter complaint was odd.. I get paint filters and strain the paint into the tub.. also, I use a paint liner in my Wagner, makes cleanup so much easier.. I get very little overspray. I've been doing cabinets.. I will also say Behr is crap paint for a sprayer.. I used an acrylic enamel paint on my cabinets and Killz primer both applied with my Wagner Flexio 5000 and the results were great... I will say, I keep a rag with me and after a short period of painting, I wipe off the nozzle to remove any possible accumulation of paint to prevent splattering of large amounts of paint. I also was very consistent about straining my paints/primers as it went into the container.. I had to do NO thinning with the thicker primer or the final top coats..
Hello, I was considering purchasing this unit but am now not convinced after this review. Do you have any sprayers that you like for indoor projects? Thanks!
I dont know.... you read the manual? Because the manual clearly say how to adjust the gun for different paints and how to thin your paint material and another bunch of things that you don't mention in this video... I don't know but if you follow the directions maybe the result will be different.
i think you where suppose to thin the paint before hand running straight water thru it might clean it out also i don’t think your suppose to use it sideways
I actually purchased this model a few months ago and ended returning it to home depot after reading a lot of 1 and 2 star reviews without even trying it out myself. I didn't want to mess up after paying I think $99 or what ever the list price was , but I found the exact same model for $45 bucks on fb yardsale which has only been used on two or three small projects. I did read the instructions but never used the first gun. I'm hoping to have a good outcome this this second cheaper attempt :). I was curious if putting a piece of cheese cloth over the intake tube with a rubber bands would help prevent any clogging after initial thinning with water has been done.
People quit making excuses for this shitty spray gun. No you should not have to strain any paint or thin it down. I have never done either. If the gun says it will spray the paint it should. A filter is needed to screen the chunks out of the paint so there is no need to strain the paint. It should have enough power to push unthinned paint also.
They're not making excuses for a bad gun, they're pointing out user error. You and the moron that posted the video clearly can't take constructive criticism .
lol, that blowback is physics not the function of the gun. The wind outside carries the atomized paint Also, there absolutely should be nothing in the paint. You should be feeding it through a mesh filter on the way in. Thinning paint will ALWAYS give you better results. Mixing paint with flotrol wont affect the color at all. Even airless sprayers by GRACO that cost a ton of money get thinned down. It comes down to the user wanting a perfect finish, from a cheap gun, without thinking about the process at all. It just doesnt work that way.
+WaldvogelReview Thanks for the comment. I agree with much of what you said, however this was the only sprayer that gave this much issue when painting. The motor is just not powerful enough to handle paint with primer in it. To much thinning is need to get any through the sprayer, as many other do not have this issue. For the price of this, I can't justify that
I have a Flexio590 (the yellow one before it changed to black) Ive done thin stain, a vinegar\steelwool mixture for aging wood, and did my whole back porch and eves with paint and primer in one. I did thin it with some flotrol. But it worked great.
Tool Review Zone on the black section of the blower behind the trigger there is a screw with I think is a t10 head. just turn it counterclockwise a couple of turns, that should fix the spitting before you are ready to paint. the same thing happened to me and this fixed the problem. other than that the other people were correct on how to use it. just my 2 cents.
Of course its spitting, there is no power behind it like an airless sprayer. I'm a Contractor and I bought one of these awhile back to test it. There is no way to get professional results with this Wagner. I gave it away because I use a spray rig
This product is bullshit, i bought one and i tried to use it one time and i chunked it. Not a good idea to paint indoor with it. It makes so much mess. I have learned the best and fastest way to paint indoor is with a good roller. Once again fuck this new product, its bullshit!!! I am wondering if i can return it. And its heavy too, not good at all for indoor.
+Ptown 77 hey bud. On this sprayer, you need to thin the paint down. The paint used in this video was paint and primer, but had to add water for it to spray. That's why I gave this a lower rating, and I was not all that happy with it. I believe I talk about the paint to water ratio in the vid
Appreciate it man!!! I got the 3000 which still has problems apparently. I used 1/2 cup initially but that did now work. I'll add around another half cup to see if it is good to go. I know you said around 10%. Maybe I'll have to get without primer next time to see if that makes a difference.
+Ptown 77 any time bro. I was really disappointed about how far down you have to thin it just to work. Not to mention, I had issues with splatter on this gun. If you have a few extra bucks, and doing a lot of painting, check out my Wagner pro sprayer vid. Now that is a great sprayer, and no thinning needed
Going to Home Depot to return lol. I saw the vid you did for the Pro but I know it runs about 400. I just want to get one that will have no problems with thick paint or primer + paint. I can go about as high as 200 bucks....any ideas? Thanks man!!
+Ptown 77 I dislike most of these hand held, but www.homedepot.com/p/Graco-TrueCoat-360-DSP-Airless-Paint-Sprayer-16Y386/205438731 Is getting some good reviews.

This has a switch for vertical use and horizontal use. I can clearly see you're switching from horizontal to vertical without changing the switch.

he is spraying latex so paint thinner will do nothing for him?
@@msk3905 youll have to thin that with water 👍
I was thinking the same thing👊
I bought this sprayer and I have used it twice indoors. It all of a sudden stopped turning on. The trigger now does nothing at all.
you gotta pour the paint through a paint strainer first, bro bro!
What’s a paint stained?
@@robertdawg4754 paint strainer, a paper /mesh cone filter you pour the paint through into the paint gun reservoir to keep any chunks/particles from clogging your paint gun
That’s for the comment I jus bought one and I was going to return it for a different one. This is my first one I’m trying to paint the bathroom
I wish we'd watched this video first. We had the same issues, paint spitting and over spray. Nothing we did seemed to help. We're returning it.
Same. 😕
I have all the same problems as the reviewer and more. The one big problem container is prone to exploding off while in use. YES i cleaned the inside and very completely clean. Used it in the house and garage with NO WIND. I bought it for a project to sand and paint my kitchen cabinets. I am trying to get my money back. At best a wall sprayer and outside or fences, NO detail work or cabinets . It spits. blots and clogs. Really bummed out, as I prepped and sanded really well only to have the spray spit bubbles and blotches so I had to wait for it dry and re sand finally resorting to a disposable fine sprayer with a pint bottle . 1 STAR. NO DETAILING> Mislabeled capabilities. The reviewer was being kind. I USED TOP OF THE LINE PAINT.
Gun starts spit on start because is wrongly set up, i had same story. On sides of trigger are holes and metal pin leading to valve. It has to turn on motor and (build pressure) then push pin to open valve. I made a short film about what it should look like ruclips.net/video/rAclfk9d1cc/видео.html
Did you try thining the paint?
I am going to see what happens if I thin the paint with water.
Tube on the side of the gun that goes into the top of the pot is either blocked or the check valve has failed.
So I have this sprayer it says to make sure that you check your nozzle periodically for clogs
The spalts can be controlled by the numbers behind the trigger
No filter bag in the painter container?
You need to dilute it to prevent spitting and filter the paint
It was easier to purchase a good sprayer.
@@ToolReviewZone filter the paint also before
It clogs up if you don't filter it
This is a pretty good sprayer just most people don't know how to use it. There's really no need to dish out 400 bucks for a more expensive sprayer unless you have the cash for it.
Flotrol. That’s much better than water and makes a night and day difference.
I have a Wagner Power Painter Pro and it is very very difficult to get the paint cup back on and I'm not happy at all with this sprayer I've tried for over an hour to get it to attach and I just gave up I'm going to try to call customer service to see if they can give me a tip?
Yep! Only works for crap works for block walls and wooden fence, I have one and it's junk!. Thanks for the video. Wagner denies functionality of their products when you call them.
Thank you so much I’m going to try more water. Because I just bought one and it is not spraying either
Thanks for advice
Complete garbage. I used Flood floetrol to help spray and it still spit and sputtered. I tried multiple settings and different paints and still had no luck, just lots of cussing and sanding afterwards..... lots of cussing.
04:17 It's unclear if he actually painted with that, but to clear up any confusion...Do NOT put a nozzle over another nozzle.
It's the same with the neumaster
Thanks so much for the review I too used Bher paint and had to water it down. You video just help me know I was on the right track so as to not have any clogged spray
Thanks for the comment Paolo, glad it helped!
Do NOT put anything solvent based in this gun. (like lacquer thinner) It ruins the gun. I found this out the hard way. Now my gun is in the landfill. To their credit it does say in the fine print that it will not tolerate anything with certain flash points. I argue that very few will pay attention to that. They should put right on the outside of the box, NOT FOR SOLVENT SPRAYS
I sprayed solvents through it with no issues
the instructions say to use mineral spirits in the tank to clean it... never had an issue with solvents.
I think you should never use aceton ore thinner.probably terpentine will not make any issue.
Thanks for the review. You do need to follow directions and not tilt the sprayer. The nozzle rotates to go from vertical to horizontal. Also, off topic, you need to stop biting your nails. Consult your dentist for some tips on how to do this. Good luck.
😂😂😂😂
Bro no need for personal attacks. You come of as arrogant and full of anger.
We've used Behr paint & it has not held up at all (less than a year). I think it's the paint, not the sprayer causing the problems above.
Agreed.. also, the paint filter complaint was odd.. I get paint filters and strain the paint into the tub.. also, I use a paint liner in my Wagner, makes cleanup so much easier.. I get very little overspray. I've been doing cabinets.. I will also say Behr is crap paint for a sprayer.. I used an acrylic enamel paint on my cabinets and Killz primer both applied with my Wagner Flexio 5000 and the results were great...
I will say, I keep a rag with me and after a short period of painting, I wipe off the nozzle to remove any possible accumulation of paint to prevent splattering of large amounts of paint. I also was very consistent about straining my paints/primers as it went into the container..
I had to do NO thinning with the thicker primer or the final top coats..
Thanks for the honest review
I had the same problem with the spitting of paint
And i used it inside first 🤨🤨
Hello, I was considering purchasing this unit but am now not convinced after this review. Do you have any sprayers that you like for indoor projects? Thanks!
Hi S.B, there is another Wagner pro that I did a review for. Its airless and works great. A bit more expensive, but really does a nice job
I dont know.... you read the manual? Because the manual clearly say how to adjust the gun for different paints and how to thin your paint material and another bunch of things that you don't mention in this video... I don't know but if you follow the directions maybe the result will be different.
Strain your paint
Can we use water based paints also
i think you where suppose to thin the paint before hand running straight water thru it might clean it out also i don’t think your suppose to use it sideways
You need to read the instructions.
I actually purchased this model a few months ago and ended returning it to home depot after reading a lot of 1 and 2 star reviews without even trying it out myself. I didn't want to mess up after paying I think $99 or what ever the list price was , but I found the exact same model for $45 bucks on fb yardsale which has only been used on two or three small projects. I did read the instructions but never used the first gun. I'm hoping to have a good outcome this this second cheaper attempt :). I was curious if putting a piece of cheese cloth over the intake tube with a rubber bands would help prevent any clogging after initial thinning with water has been done.
People quit making excuses for this shitty spray gun. No you should not have to strain any paint or thin it down. I have never done either. If the gun says it will spray the paint it should. A filter is needed to screen the chunks out of the paint so there is no need to strain the paint. It should have enough power to push unthinned paint also.
They're not making excuses for a bad gun, they're pointing out user error. You and the moron that posted the video clearly can't take constructive criticism .
@@401Impala no you are wrong and a dumbass.
Should I add my paint thinner instead of water?
Not in water base pain. It will clump it up
lol, that blowback is physics not the function of the gun. The wind outside carries the atomized paint
Also, there absolutely should be nothing in the paint. You should be feeding it through a mesh filter on the way in. Thinning paint will ALWAYS give you better results. Mixing paint with flotrol wont affect the color at all. Even airless sprayers by GRACO that cost a ton of money get thinned down. It comes down to the user wanting a perfect finish, from a cheap gun, without thinking about the process at all. It just doesnt work that way.
+WaldvogelReview Thanks for the comment. I agree with much of what you said, however this was the only sprayer that gave this much issue when painting. The motor is just not powerful enough to handle paint with primer in it. To much thinning is need to get any through the sprayer, as many other do not have this issue. For the price of this, I can't justify that
I have a Flexio590 (the yellow one before it changed to black) Ive done thin stain, a vinegar\steelwool mixture for aging wood, and did my whole back porch and eves with paint and primer in one. I did thin it with some flotrol. But it worked great.
+WaldvogelReview possible I could have received a bad one. Never seen spitting like this before. Glad yours at least worked
Tool Review Zone on the black section of the blower behind the trigger there is a screw with I think is a t10 head. just turn it counterclockwise a couple of turns, that should fix the spitting before you are ready to paint. the same thing happened to me and this fixed the problem. other than that the other people were correct on how to use it. just my 2 cents.
Tool Review Zone wagne frexio 2000
Can i use it in my car painting?
No, there junk stick to a rattle can
Yes, you should
Do you need a compressor?
No
Wish I had watched this video earlier - I bought and this machine really spits a lot - going to check if I can return it 😒
I had the same issues with this sprayer. Would not recommend it to a friend.
Of course its spitting, there is no power behind it like an airless sprayer. I'm a Contractor and I bought one of these awhile back to test it. There is no way to get professional results with this Wagner. I gave it away because I use a spray rig
Spre meshen bre ki keya praiz he
This product is bullshit, i bought one and i tried to use it one time and i chunked it. Not a good idea to paint indoor with it. It makes so much mess. I have learned the best and fastest way to paint indoor is with a good roller. Once again fuck this new product, its bullshit!!! I am wondering if i can return it. And its heavy too, not good at all for indoor.
Did you user a paint plus primer? I tried and barely got anything to come out. I'm going to try and dilute to see if that will help.
+Ptown 77 hey bud. On this sprayer, you need to thin the paint down. The paint used in this video was paint and primer, but had to add water for it to spray. That's why I gave this a lower rating, and I was not all that happy with it. I believe I talk about the paint to water ratio in the vid
Appreciate it man!!! I got the 3000 which still has problems apparently. I used 1/2 cup initially but that did now work. I'll add around another half cup to see if it is good to go. I know you said around 10%. Maybe I'll have to get without primer next time to see if that makes a difference.
+Ptown 77 any time bro. I was really disappointed about how far down you have to thin it just to work. Not to mention, I had issues with splatter on this gun. If you have a few extra bucks, and doing a lot of painting, check out my Wagner pro sprayer vid. Now that is a great sprayer, and no thinning needed
Going to Home Depot to return lol. I saw the vid you did for the Pro but I know it runs about 400. I just want to get one that will have no problems with thick paint or primer + paint. I can go about as high as 200 bucks....any ideas? Thanks man!!

Is getting some good reviews.
Why are we wear this thing couldn’t spray water if it’s life depended on it
भारत में उपलब्ध है क्या ?
Have you tried Harbor Freight electric paint sprayer?
Hey Govind, haven't tried it. Maybe I will head up that way today and check it out. Have you used it?
Tool Review Zone Not yet, I'm waiting for your review to decide whether to buy or not 😀.
Lol, maybe I can take a look at it for you. I'll try to stop up there this week and check it out
Tool Review Zone Cool. It's
Yeah, just looked it up a bit ago. I way run up this week and grab it. It's supposed to get cold out, so hope I can get it before then
इस मशीन की कीमत क्या है
crappy paint? nah, couldn't be haha.
Bro buy latex paint and mix the paint first
