use an extension so you can hit the ceiling and walk the whole ceiling with out the need for the scaffold also if you take the tip off before purging the primer it will come out much cleaner in the bucket with more of a flow than a spray. the pressure is built because of the tip... and that is my tip ...good day! and as usual thanks for this awesome video!

you should always strain the paint before using in a sprayer and also stir thoroughly.... Also you should remove dust from ceiling after sanding as the sprayer will blow the dust onto your wet surfaces and some will also be left behind... To get the best results you can't leave out the basics. You shouldn't stop and start across the surface as you will create build ups.... Use a spray extension and then you can walk along spraying the full length in one pass.... Tips from my 40 years painting and decorating. really enjoy your videos a lot. Keep it up

Airless sprayer was one of my best investments during my renovation. However, once the floor was installed, I purchased the roller attachment and drop cloth, because it was faster than taping off everything. I'd also recommend a respirator.

It may seem like it's adding time but the light from the windows can show faning. Also the rental guys hate overspray on their machine's. Throw a tent of plastic on it or put in an opposing room verses the company chewing you out when returning lol.

Especially painting kitchen cabinets.Ours is about three years old now and still going strong. I'm not sure how long they last, but considering we're not using it every day like pros do, I'm hopeful it last for many more years. I think the key is cleaning it well when you're done.

Plan your height if spraying ceilings A step up or large area - trestle with planks. Wear a mask. As he said spray ceiling from window light enter - so you won’t see shadows. You are basically using the spray like back hand slaps - window wiper style.

Enjoy your videos - they've helped me so much over the past few years. I bought a Graco Magnum about 6 years ago but it really wasn't the answer I was looking for. It produces a really nice finish on doors and trim but using it seems to be more work than it saves. It's good for large areas of new work (like your new basement) but for repainting it requires so much work masking and covering up to prevent overspray and paint mist from getting everywhere. For small jobs it seems to waste so much paint that remains in the pipes. Even after draining to recover some of that paint there's still a lot to be flushed out. If you don't clean the sprayer thoroughly it's not going to perform well. As a general rule, if I'm doing anything that only needs a gallon or two of paint then the airless sprayer is not the tool. My experience, my opinion.

@ Home RenoVision DIY When it comes to priming new drywalls, which option is better: the Graco X5 or a roller?

pro tip when priming your airless, after you see paint come out of the return hose, hold down the trigger on your gun before turning the prime valve, then turn it on while you''re still holding the trigger so it doesn't pressurize and make a mess, once paint comes through the hose, let go of trigger and you're ready to go

Thanks for the video 👍

That was awesome dude

Now I understand why you say DIY. Wear protective mask is a must! And a 12inch extension so you are not going up and down the scaffold. Also my hep to remove the spray tip when priming or cleaning machine. Avoiding pressure back splash.

Hey would this work to repaint a ceiling, and would you have to go back and roll it and do you need to mask off to everything to use this

Was thinking of replacing the baseboards thereafter, so I won't have to worry as much about overspray of my refinished floors. Any suggestions to improve this plan?

I mastered painting the ceiling when I was about 13 years old.

When priming the sprayer and filling the hose with paint. Take the spray tip off from the spray gun. It will go a lot faster and save your tip. Everything on these sprayers are hand tight. Meaning every connection of the sprayer is hand twistable

It worked, you da man!!!!

@Jeff do you have an affiliate link to the X7? I only see X5 in your Amazon favorites.

What airless sprayer do you recommend?

Pro tip , always either power mix your paint with paddle on drill ,or ask for it to be put in shaker machine ,at place of purchase, especially with tinted product ,two hits with a stick isn't enough,eye protection and a decent respirator is also very important,a Lung full of paint any paint is worth about ten years smoking

I am convinced you have to backroll every spray coat on ceiling and walls for proper results and for the touchup factor down the road. Trim and doors can be sprayed and left alone. Why are people NOT backrolling? It is a must! I believe anyone not backrolling is afraid of their rolling skills and a bit on the lazy side. Not saying thats you but I have been in talks on some chatrooms and it seems its 70 for not backrolling and 30 for backrolling. I have been back rolling for a decade.

How bad is the overspray? Will it just mop off of the floor? What would you prep or cover, windows doors, furniture if the rooms not empty?

Airless is without a doubt the best way to go. I’ve used them to spray ceilings in office buildings and Store locations. Serious money can be made. My estimate was half of what 3 different guys wanted and I still made money. There’s nearly no overspray. Gun cleaning after a full day of spraying becomes a pain. If the machine is not seriously taken care of you’ll be sorry! Allow time for proper maintenance.
