Hi want to learn about spraying, do you need to water down the primer coat or thin or just use straight from the tin, thanks great vid

Always good to watch, I'm a HVLP sprayer of furniture myself and always good to see tips on spraying in general, nice work

Thanks Paul, glad it helps.

Thanks for you videos, really informative. I see you're using a 310 tip, how much do you dilute the paint? You must need to thin it down at least 30% I reckon?

I’d love a go at that.

Another great video Ryan, what hose are you using between your spray gun and pump? 3/16 or 1/4?

Thanks mike! Tbh I don't know, I can take a look later but I'm leaning towards the 3/16.

Brill thanks for info mate. I am using airless and just trying to figure out how much i can load stuff up flat, i do really like using it more than i expected for stuff like this. I don't have a booth mind. Doing it all on site.

It's all trial and error, I was the same when I started but with more and more experience it just gets easier. Now it's just natural to.me how.much to put on with one coat, but go for less per coat rather than more, or you'll get pooling in a split second

Great video Ryan. I’m only just starting to branch out into fitted furniture and have just got myself a 2nd hand Graco ultra handheld airless sprayer. Tbh I’m not likely to do much spraying in my small shop (if it takes off I’ll get a bigger shop or outsource the spraying element of the work), but so far so goo - flawless finish, just taking a while to sty in a cold shop 😖. Any experience with these handheld sprayers?

I havmt had too much with the hand helds but funnily enough I just bought one this morning, a graco ultra max. Should be exactly the same finish as a larger machine regarding finishes. Down side is they don't spray tons before the pump needs replacing but still 200 liters per pump is still a decent amount. Get a diesel/kerosene space heater, these are a god send for me and allow my pieces to dry within 20 or 30 mins

Hi, even though it goes on thick and you can do 3-4 coats, it still it only very thin and I never take anything off the panel size to be honest. If your worried about it then an absolute max of 0.5mm off. But I really wouldn't bother and I've never had problems with this. 👍

How long do you usually wait once one face has had its 3rd coat to then apply the final 2 coats on the other face. I am finding that once i have finished my final 3rd coat. When its on the drying rack it slightly sticks and i get lines in the finish from the racking bars. Same racking setup as you.

Sorry for late reply. At least a few days, but this sometimes happens. Just move the components regularly (2-3 times a day) should help

When spray painting from above and moving side to side, do you hold the trigger down for the entire time? Or release and pull the trigger when moving in new direction?

Thanks maty! Yes the fans just exhaust to outside, there is a small space between the wall and the outside fence and there is a small amount of overspray that gets through. You could always have another filter on the outside to combat that. I just use water and oil based (99% of the time water based) as I dont want any smell. I am on buy me a coffee mate, I think its under my name ryan cooper, not sure if the link takes you there in the description.👍 Was thinking you could also use 2 or 3 filters inside rather than one to stop the overspray getting through eventually 👍
