Hello, I'm an avid DYI'er and I'm about to paint my house in a month, waiting on winter to end. I've never pained a house, so I truly appreciate you posting these videos, they are so helpful. I'm sure I'll have questions as I jump into this project and appreciate your help. Go DYI'ers!!!!

Lol. No worries Reagan! 26th year in the industry and I a very low time on spraying and setup/cleaning. Literally watching now for tips. Some guys go a whole career without proper set up. I am that guy. Never stop learning! Great vid guys. 👌

I agree! Regans on a good path!!! He did great! Thanks BOSS!😊 great video showing someone learning as we are!👍 Ive been painting many years and today Im borrowing an airless because the time it will save me. Im 42 yrs old and just now learning to operate an airless sprayer. Smh

Chris is Wonderful teacher! Great timely clarifying questions! Thank you! My graco magnum died and I went to Sharwin Williams and bought Titan 440i. I watched you video again. Now I am dangerous!

Your videos have been great. I'm excited to start painting today after working for a year to get everything to paint stage. That titan is 20 years old that's quit the sales pitch.

Excellent training video. Anyone that hasn't used a sprayer much would definitely learn from this video.

This was a life and time saver thank you!

Have had several brands of airless professional sprayers since 1978 . I prefer the direct pick up instead of the hose pick up because they are pain to move around with the hose flopping around and the direct pick up uses less paint to prime the pump plus it’s easier to flush the pump out .

I'm considering selling my business over at Aluisy and Co. In Maryland and moving to Idaho!! Really love it there. If you guys need or have been praying for an extra experienced foreman or painter that can help with the stress levels then please let me know. I'd be happy to humbly serve for whatever you can afford to pay. I was praying about sometime in the next year making the move. Just throwing it out there. Thanks for all your videos. I've learned so much from them.

Oh goodness here I go! Painting my friends house tomorrow with my new titan 440, I’m terrified, but I’m going to do my best to follow your videos, I’m using the video from titan that says to run mineral spirits through the first time- prime line and hose line,then I’ll run water through prime line and hose line, then I’ll run the paint through the prime line and then the hose line.. then I’ll bring my psi to about 2200 with my 30 spray extension, then I’ll be doing hardy plank siding and the soffets and garage door all the same color… I’m going to tape and drape everything before hand….. then I’ll repeat the process of running mineral spirits, then water, then antifreeze and store. 👍 I’ll let you know how it goes!

Thank You.

Very informative!! But question and excuse me if I missed the answer but if your already spraying and spits tend to come out, would you just switch it to prime and release all the air from the prime tube or would that mean that the hoses connected to gun is clogged? Excuse me if this doesn’t make sense lol

Great--I have a Graco lt15 and am trying to learn how to use properly. Do you thin your paint--is there a video on this?

What brand would you recommend for interior satin finish and would you recommend paint thinner for it as well (I am rolling the paint) and I am planing on painting a room for the first time so I need a paint that is easy to use as well

Gotta love those old 440i's

Hello, I have been spraying as a hobby for a few years and followed you along the way. I have a couple questions. I have recently been repainting a house I painted 5 years ago and that had subsequently been brushed in places too in a different darker colour. I have experienced a couple of things that I would like to improve. I have seen, what I call spider webbing on the paint white middle spots with darker bits round it, sometimes these even crack, now I think its related to the material underneath, any recommendations? The second is full on cracking and the paint peeling away the day after spraying. The third is when you are covering the same surface with multiple colours (some very different) how do you prepare to prevent seeable bleeding? The surface is a plastered wall Using a wagner P20 515 tip, white filter, Johnston Durable WHITE Matt paint

What do you usually paint first eaves or stucco?

Great video, Thanks. One question, is there some oil in item and if so, what isit? Michael

A friend of mine is attempting to lime wash the exterior brick of her home. She bought the lime wash solution that you mix with equal parts water and we've been applying it with mason brushes. It looks good so far but it's very slow going. Can a paint sprayer be used to apply the lime wash?

Nice informative video. But, what do you need to do once done with your project to store the machine. I assume you need to run water through the purge line, but not sure.

My question is how do you calculate the amt of paint needed for spraying compared to brushing or rolling? I understand it takes more paint to spray compared to the other measures?

I bought a titan 1040t paint sprayer, and I’m curious what spray tip you would use for indoor spraying?

Can you do a video on how to mix and prep paint, or how to prep primer paint etc etc it’s much be appreciated

We sometimes go weeks without using our Graco Mark IV what’s the best way to store a srayer? Wet or dry? I noticed one guy was keeping the intake hose in a bucket of water with conditioner (lube) in the water.. after watching your last video I learned that you don’t run the conditioner through it while you are cleaning it but through the lube Orpheus on the front of the sprayer correct??

thanks

Thank you! So, is not good to put the prime hose inside the bucket of paint?

Chris, question. I have a brand new Graco X17 Magnum Airless Sprayer (decent for a DIYer) and had problems using a fresh can of BEHR's interior all-in-one primer. After a few hours of use, mostly waiting for wall to dry, the pump would run continuously and I would lose all pressure to the gun. Raising the pressure would only help so long. I noticed the suction screen wasn't fully submerged in the paint anymore as the bucket got low. Is this common of thick primers, does it have to be thinned, or was I having a suction problem? Everything ran fine when I went through the cleaning process with water.

I did try to reprime it. After watching your videos, didn't think to let the gun run for 20 seconds or so, recirculating the paint. I'll try that next time.

How is the water coming out the prime hose? where is the water coming from?

What do I do when my sprayer still slowly primed even when switch is in spray mode ??? Pump keeps pumping doesn’t stop ???? Gas powered unit

We always keep our prime hose in the paint 2 while were spraying

Great Video. I have 2 questions. 1. Do you thin out your paint before spraying to chamge the viscosity? If so, how do you determine how much water to add? 2. How do you determine the pressure setting on the machine? Do you have any tips on a standardized preasure setting that would limit runs or excessive over spray?

Might just add if your line is charged when putting on the spray tip, make sure the trigger is locked, there is potential there to get paint injected into your skin, I think you covered that in a previous video Chris, just thought it was worth bringing up again... safety first as they say !!!

Constructive criticisms: It's not recommended to prime the pump at a high pressure setting. Its much safer and easier to prime both the intake tube and the spray hose at the lowest pressure setting. Only increase pressure when ready to spray. The proper "pressure relief procedure" per any sprayer manual does NOT mean flip the valve down to prime when you're done. This is why you get the blow-back with paint flying everywhere. The proper procedure is to turn the machine off, and trigger the gun into the paint supply. You release the pressure from the gun first, with the machine off. Then turn the valve down to prime. Little to nothing will come out, and there will be no blow-back. Also, as others mentioned - use the safety on the trigger at all times.
