No muss or fuss in the explanation. Straight to the point. Explained very well with good camera work. This was exactly what I needed to get started. Thank you. Actual painting time is only 10 percent of the job. Prep was what took the longest.

Graco should contract with you to do their product videos. Very professionally produced video, straight forward explanations without the cringe-worthy attempts at humor and goofing around so many youtube "instructors" do. Looking forward to seeing what other videos you have made. Thank you for all the effort that must have gone on behind the scenes to put this quality of content out there.

Just don't move your spray gun like he did at 9 minute mark...he has a Horizontal Pattern as pating comes out his gun and is also moving his hand back and forth Horizontally (left to right and back) which is totally wrong, you can never spray like that. To Paint correctly, with the pattern in the gun coming out from Side to Side...you move your hands UP and Down and then you can get coverage and overlap your spray properly. This is good breakdown of the product (must be sponsored) but this does not show how to paing properly at all. He could have watched any of hundreds of other videos to who how to do that. Vertical Pattern from Gun - Move hands Horizontally Horizontal Pattern coming from Gun - Move hands Vertically Always move against the spray pattern not with it!
I had a horrible first experience with this product. Almost returned it and watched your video and you made this is so easier for someone with ZERO clue. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. New sub here!

this was me, yesterday. i was just staring at the quick guide and it's like i couldn't read. even that guide left me with a few questions and i was trying to go between it and the book. like WTF is xyz part????? the hose adaptor isn't even called out on the parts list, and they act like they provided a cleaning brush but didn't. then there was the worry about wasted paint, and issues during operation............ UGH. here's me still cleaning up at 3AM.

I know its expensive but have a sprayer for any non waterborne finishes and one for waterborne. That's what i do with sprayers and my hvlp too. And honestly waterborne is so good and for the most part easier to use that it hust makes sense to only use waterbase stuff... so just maoe sure you rinse with plenty of water amd if you want extra protection use pro clean pr lacquer cleaner from sherwin williams then rinse more with water. And remeber the tips do have a life of a few hundred gallons.
This is the most thorough and comprehensive KZread tutorial I’ve ever seen. Saving this for when i buy my x5 tomorrow

Good video overall. The guard on the gun develops the spray “fan” pattern, depending on its orientation. The hose end valve supplied is designed to facilitate using water to flush out the system once done painting, versus running the pump. I find that flushing with water does a good job of clean up except for the tip and guard, as well the inlet screen. I find that using a a portion of discard panty hose, secured by a nylon tie strap over the inlet screen eliminates a lot of sprayer issues due to dirt or debris. Thanks for your good good effort.

Good video until you started spraying the wrong direction. The spray gun has a fan of about 10 inches wide. You make you passes the OPPOSITE direction of the fan. Your initial hand passes should have been up and down, NOT left to right.

Great vid bruv. Easy to follow and close ups spot on. One thing I was told by a sprayer was he cleans his sprayer by putting hose in either a bucket of clean soapy water or turps/white spirit and flushed it through till only clean water or white spirit come out. Apparently it’s a lot quicker and without risk of loosing parts or damaging them. I’m a roller and brush guy myself. Old school as you say so what do I know.
