Thank you Simon, your kind words of support means a lot to me 💯 ..hope you’re having a good week my friend, and the British summer heat is not causing too many problems 🇬🇧☀️😓
@@PaintHQ all good this end buddy I’m still in the fight but today was a hot one it’s always all or nothing with the weather we never quite get used to it do we 😂👍🏻
Very true 💯 Hot and humid, or cold damp winters (..and you need a fan to dry the paint) 🙈
Another masterclass in spraying Pete. I’m just prepping house for redecorating after purchasing the gx21 (and ultra handheld yesterday). First ever go at spraying!! Keep up the videos Pete, pressure and tip information very useful.
Ah thank you buddy.. great news ..take your time, enjoy the process and don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any questions.. you’ll get there and won’t look back.. don’t give up 😆
Wow! I just got the 1CA 200 by Graeber! No masking off needed!
Fantastic!
Oh man, I enjoy your videos so much, learning more as I watch them and falling in love with painting. Awesome job every time Pete!!

HI PETE THANKS FOR ALL YOUR EXCELLENT UPLOADS IM LEARNING SO MUCH FROM YOUR CHANNEL, IVE BEEN PAINTING FOR SOME YEARS NOW, BUT HAVE BAD BACK AND ROLLING BIG CEILINGS IS KILLING ME, SO I WAS THINKING ABOUT GETTING THE WAGNER Airless Sprayer Control Pro 250 M , NO PEP WORK NO RUBBING DOWN JUST HOPE CUSTOMER IS NOT LOOKING , JUST SMASHING OUT SOME EMULSION, DO YOU THINK THAT THAT SPRAYER WOULD BE ANY GOOD, ?????? THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. ALL THE BEST FROM ROBERT LONDON UK.
Well as already said by many others your videos are full of all the nitty gritty info that we want to know, thank you !
We seem to have the same approach to spraying as in the system and utilise the same products, however for me I can never seem to be able to spray under 2000psi. I was really surprised to see you able to achieve 1400psi on a 515 tip.
I have had problems recently with being able to see regency vertical stripping from side light and artificial light.
I only use Caparol products which recommend no more than 5% thinning, however I think maybe it’s the thickness of the paint causing these problems. I have now ordered the Wagner Nast spray heated hose to hopefully sort the issue as I have tried everything else.
Any thoughts you may have on rooms with big side light.
I am in France where we have strong sunlight and I work on a lot of modern open plan new builds.
I really do appreciate the kind words of support and especially your methods from France 🇫🇷👌👏👍😆 ..The lower 1400 psi is down to using the Wagner HEA ProTip 515 with the Wagner TradeTip 3 Tip Holder 7/8”.. I really do rate this tip 👌 You can usually shave 500 psi Vs ‘other’ tips ..I only thin if I have to and usually just a splash of water, it makes all the difference to ease the flow that little bit.. The heated hose, I’m confident you’ll bring the pressure down (definitely the viscosity will be lower).. along with a HEA 515. It will massively help knit the passes together.. you’re certainly using quality products in Caparol too 👏👏👏
I’m quite envious you getting the heated hose 😆 id love one myself.. be sure to let me know how you get on my friend.. really great hearing from you and hearing about your process and successes 🇫🇷💯 regards Pete 😆
Pete…. I have a new construction home coming up in a few weeks that is all plaster, no drywall. I’ve been painting for about 5 years now and haven’t done a plaster job quite like this. What exact products are you using in the video? Is the mist coat essentially priming?
Is this in the uk did you not seal the plaster first..
Hi, great vid! I see you spray the woodwork first. I’m just wondering at what stage do you caulk the skirting/arks to the walls? Thanks
Hey buddy, thank you for the feedback, much appreciated.. yeah woodwork gets sprayed first, when going on to spray walls / accent colour and finally ceiling.. I typically prep the woodwork first, which would include the caulking.. then prime and top coats 👍 some primers / top coats can craze over the caulk (it’s a pain).. so I’m looking for the caulk to be dry before coating, or possibly applying Zinnser BIN before going on to prime / top coat.. hope this helps, great to have you contributing to the channel.. feel free to ask questions anytime and I’ll do my best to answer.. regards Pete 🎨💯
hi did you mist coat only 1 coat or 2 coats thanks
Hi Pete, this job looks quality yet again. Once you've sprayed your woodwork, how do you find the drying time after applying mistcoat on areas above skirts that woodwork paint has hit walls etc. And do you ever get runs?
Hey Matt.. very good question 👏👍😊 ..In my experience I’ve never had anything untoward happen long term, such as runs.. but I have to agree that mist coat on those areas will dry a little slower versus the fresh plaster, where drying is almost instant 👍 ..It’s never caused a delay for me though, when I get the emulsion top coat in the sprayer, I’m ready to go.. hope you’re keeping well and having success.. keep in touch my friend.. Pete 🎨💯
WOW great work dude! Thanks so much
Ah thank you buddy, very much appreciate that.. reach out to me if I can help or advise you at all.. regards Pete 🎨💯
@@PaintHQ I'm just starting out spraying, I bought A QT 190 airless, haven't used it yet! Just gaining all the info I can first. I've been binge watching your vids, you're an absolute legend. Just about to buy a Qtech Q5 hvlp to add to the tools.
Ah nice 😆 really appreciate your kind words of support, means a lot 💯 ..You’ve got a nice machine there in the QT190 👏👌👍 ..I believe it comes with a 7.5mtr 1/4” hose.. not wanting to think you need to spend more money 🙈 ..A small whip hose attaching at the gun, will give you so much flexibility at the wrist.. the thickness of the 1/4” hose can be tricky to manoeuvre.. it’s not essential by any means, just makes life easier.. Just double check with your supplier if there’s any compatibility issues with your model sprayer.. for example my 7.5” Graco hose is already thinner at 3/16”.. then my whip is 1.4m and 1/8” diameter.. sorry if this is confusing.. I want to help you get started all I can 💯 ..A 515 tip for emulsions might suit better too.. I typically use a 515.. The supplied 517 tip with your sprayer, the material will come out a bit quick.. It can be surprising for a beginner how quick you need to move the gun 😆 Hope this helps a little my friend.. feel free to ask questions anytime, I’ll always get back to you and do my best.. I don’t mind 👍 Regards Pete
@@PaintHQ Pete thanks so much. What brand tips are best for low pressure spraying in peoples lived in houses? I haven't bought any tips yet so want the most efficient for low pressure, low over spray. The guys at my spray shop are telling me to go with Tritech over Graco.
You’re very welcome.. As I see it, each brand has their version.. Eg Graco LP Vs Wagner / Titan HEA ..I can appreciate TriTech plays their part too, and a supply shop may have their preference if affiliated closer to TriTech ..I have a few TriTech tips and have success with certain paints ..That all said, the tip I’m using more than others is a Wagner HEA ProTip 515 (not to be confused with the Wagner Control Pro version).. knowing you’ve got a TriTech gun, I can say that the Wagner HEA ProTip will fit the TriTech tip guard.. the Graco tips will not, you would need a RAC X tip guard ..If you was to give the Wagner tips a go, whilst they do fit TriTech, just be aware the seals are different.. you shouldn’t have a problem, I’ve not heard of any but just wanted to point that out.. sorry to waffle on ..With all this talk about tips and overspray.. you will get overspray, it’s a byproduct of airless or any spraying for that matter.. it’s just about controlling it.. low pressure spraying helps.. technique is another ..and effective masking.. never give up, once you gain confidence you won’t look back.. put your sprayer to work 😆 ..I’ll help you 👍 regards Pete
Really good demonstration thanks for uploading it!
Did you have all the woodwork finished first and was that also sprayed? I didn't catch that?!
Also where abouts are you based in England?
Hello my friend, thanks for watching and sharing your feedback.. yeah the woodwork was sprayed too 😆 ..Using a manufacturer waterborne primer and top coat by AkzoNobel ..like these products in this video czcams.com/video/Bz06dvPFO7c/video.html
I’m in the West Midlands area of England ..Where are you from buddy ?.. great to hear from you, keep in touch.. regards Pete 🎨💯
Hi Pete, beautiful video again
I was wondering if I have excess airborne mistcoat overspray with a FFLP514. It doesn’t matter if it’s 800psi or 1500. It also tends to run down the wall if the pressure is too low.
Do you think it’s too watery or perhaps a LP tip instead of FFLP could help? I have a LP517 which I haven’t tried yet
Hey Jarrod, apologies for not replying sooner my friend.. could be a bit watery if mist coat is running, or you need to move the gun quicker.. the fresh plaster should suck the mist coat right in.. regarding pressure, that won’t control for paint flow (that’s the tip orifice size.. so a .017 will have a greater paint flow than a .014).. pressure is just used to atomise the paint and achieve the optimal spray pattern (no tails, s feathers edge and nice and solid and even across the middle).. when spraying emulsion / or mist coat, an FFLP wouldn’t make much difference Vs an LP tip, the finish is virtually the same.. only the way paint is atomised is the difference between the two and LP are the bigger sizes .. so .015 .. .017 and so on, then .014 and smaller would be FF LP ..id stick with the 514, the paint flow will be less and you’ll have mice control, then just try thinning less, about 30% water ..keep in touch my friend, I’ll always get back to you and I’m happy to help and answer questions anytime brother ..regards Pete
Now I know why its taking so long I don't think I've ever had my machine so low 800 psi when spraying.. how long does it take you to first coat a uk house..
Hi Pete,
Quite amazing! Thank you for detailing all the materials and equipment, it fills in so many blanks!
I have a question, you seem happy with Albany Durable Matt for walls and I wonder if you have used Tikkurila Optiva Matt 5 and, if so, how you found it? Many thanks and best wishes, Rob
Hey Rob, you’re so kind with your comments, I appreciate you supporting the channel 💯 ..That’s a very good point about the Albany Durable.. I do very much rate the product and it’s performance.. Regarding Optiva 5, equally an awesome product, I’m a big fan of Tikkurila.. my reason for Albany, is purely that Brewers is my local and pretty much the only trade counter that I can walk in to.. with bigger jobs I like the comfort of being able to get more mixed if needed.. I do place orders for delivery from Tikkurila.. AR2 is a mainstay and I’ll keep stock.. I do rate Optiva 5 and the ability to get any colour matched is excellent, it’s just the logistics of getting testers and more quantity mixed if needed.. hope that makes sense 😆 always great to hear from you my friend.. regards Pete
@@PaintHQ Hi Pete, many thanks for your fulsome response! I was wondering and lack of local availability didn’t even occur to me. I was trying to decide what to suggest for a client and, thanks to your endorsement, will go with Optiva 5. I guess I’m lucky in that I have a branch of Kent Blaxill near to me as well as Brewers, etc. Many thanks for all your help and my best wishes, Rob
You’re very welcome, anytime 💯 ..Yeah you won’t go wrong with Optiva 5.. just one thought, if you’re needing to mist coat / prime bare plaster.. just check with Tikkurila about maybe using the Optiva Primer, just to ensure the full performance / durability of Optiva 5.. from what I recall the Optiva Priner is relatively cost effective 👍
@@PaintHQ Hi Pete, Thanks for this. Yes, I’d made a note to include Optiva Primer which, as you say, is very reasonably priced. I just had an idea which I though worth sharing. According to the Tikkurila website Optiva Primer is tintable. I just checked and they confirmed it, so we can prime in the same colour as the client wants for the topcoats. Might make for a better finish. With best wishes, Rob
Hey Rob, great info my friend 👌 Yeah that’s another great plus for Tikkurila.. thanks for sharing 👏👍😆
Do a video of masking the velux window up please. I hate masking them especially when they are high ones.
Hey Brian.. yeah if I’ve got the footage, I’ll see if I can put something together for you.. bit of a tip I can give, is clean the frame thoroughly (something like a degreaser), especially if it’s a new build that’s got plaster or residue left over from the plasterer.. sorry if that’s obvious, it’s just that you’re never get a clean line.. not only will the finished result look poor, but it can be a problem with the tape sticking.. I use Deltec gold first, get a nice line and mitre your corners (very important), then use the hand masker with Q1 tape and 12” brown paper.. hope this helps a little.. I’ll see what footage I can salvage, if not I’ll definitely put something together the next time I come across Velux windows 👍 Take care my friend, regards Pete 🎨💯
Do you always mist coat with the AR2? I tend to use a contract Matt first.
Great vid as always 👍
Hey Jason.. not always to be honest, contract matt is equally good and cost effective.. I just keep a stock of AR2 and if I can spare some it’s great to mist coat with.. great coverage 👍 Thanks for the support, very much appreciated.. great to hear from you buddy 💯 Regards Pete
Thanks for the video. What tip did you use on the ceiling? I'm gonna by a Wagner control pro 250M and they only have green tips- so what tip size would you use on the ceiling if working with green ones? Also- if you don't mind me asking- do you do the ceiling last because the walls are easier to mask? It seems like every painter and DIYer has different preferences so it would be nice to hear your take on it :) I haven't used a sprayer yet but try to learn a lot in advance.
Just a last question. Did I get it right that you only sprayed the white paint on the walls once? I mean- if it covered that blue/green color in one round of spraying that is truely amazing 😁
THANKS again 🌺
Hi Hanna, thanks for your questions, I’ll do my best to help you every step.. if I miss anything or you have further questions, feel free to get back to me.. firstly, congratulations on taking the leap into spraying 👍 it’s very rewarding 😆 ..This video I made on the 250M might be worth a watch, it does cover an important point about what tips you could use.. to summarise, unless you buy an additional tip guard, you would need to stick to the ControlPro propriety tips.. It comes with a 517, which you could spray ceilings / walls.. I just prefer a 515, the paint will flow a bit slower, you get more control.. especially helpful for a beginner czcams.com/video/3Mlzp37Uepg/video.html
I’m planning a future video to demonstrate tip size and tip size in relation to paint flow 👍
..You’re exactly right about masking the walls to spray the ceiling last.. it’s so much easier to do it this way round, and you get the most perfect line 😆 ..Regarding the white mist coat for fresh plaster.. yeah one coat is sufficient, using an emulsion / water 50/50 mix.. I believe that’s touched upon in the video above too 😆 ..Hope this helps, keep in touch, it’s great to have you contributing to the channel.. regards Pete 🎨💯
Well this video could not have come at a better time,first of all beautiful work my friend.What advice do you have for a problem i had today spraying ar2 using a graco lp 515 tip set at 1300psi thinned about 10% no tails the overspray was horrendous it was like having a shower.The finish was also very orange peel i don’t believe i had this problem when i used a Wagner lp tip thank you 👍
Hey Paul, thanks for the support, as always very much appreciated 💯 ..I’m thinking, could you have been a bit closer with the gun than you would usually.. I say that because sometimes it can be hard to judge if you was using an extension, or if the ceiling was lower than your typical ceiling, your judgment can get thrown off.. Especially when you got the pressure down nice and low, 1300 is low enough not to cause bounce back.. do you remember if 1300 was what you’ve sprayed AR2 at before? AR2 can be a pain to go through, don’t get me wrong it’s an awesome ceiling paint, I wouldn’t use anything else, but it does prefer a bit of easing with water.. Neat with a LP515 I’m spraying at 2200 (2100 with a smaller / shorter hose).. like you I tend to ease it a little (maybe not 10% - but 10% is ok), then I’m spraying at 1900.. Thst‘a why I’m turning to the Wagner HEA 515 more and more, just a splash of water and I’m spraying at 1700 nice and clean, no or little bounce back.. keep in touch, let me know if anything helps.. you’re doing good my friend 👏👏👏
Yep i was using a extension 50cm so my distance could be wrong I’m pretty sure i sprayed at about the same pressure with a Wagner lp what was the reason for changing to the trytech tip also what is the size of the hose you use apart from the whip is it a 1/4in thanks 👍
Hey Paul.. good question about the TriTech 616 tip.. I tried the HEA 515 with AR2 in the handheld and a splash of water, it would not spray nice at all.. it might of improved if I ran it at speed 10, but I’m not prepared to run the handheld flat out.. it emphasises my point about it being good to have a range of tips from different manufacturers, and finding AR2 problematic to spray (just my experience).. so yeah, I switched it up to the TriTech 616 and was able to spray at speed 7, which I’m much more happy with 👍😆 ..And yet I don’t like the TriTech 616 used on the bigger pump (395), too much dust/fog 🙈 hope all that is not too confusing 😬 ..Just to explain also, the 395 was moved onto the next job and the ceiling in the loft conversion was small enough for the handheld 😊 ..regarding the hose, it’s a 7.5mtr 3/16”, which requires much less paint (less than 140ml), versus the 15m 1/4” (just under 500ml).. much more manoeuvrable too.. I stick to the 7.5mtr hose all the time now and if I need a longer run, I join another 7.5mtr.. they was on offer too at SpraymanUK 👌😆 ..Great feedback and question as always.. keep in touch buddy, I’ll always get back to you and help if I can 💯 Pete
Hi Pete,
I’m posting this separately as it’s a different question.
Given your logical sequence of working up the room, e.g. trim, then walls, then ceilings, I wonder how you might approach a room with a dado and/or picture rails. I have a client who has just asked for the walls, above and below a dado rail, to be different colours. That led me to thinking about making design suggestions to clients who might not have thought of creating feature walls or highlighting dado and picture rails (perhaps white) against a slightly darker shade on the walls. Would this change the order of spraying for you, or would you simply hit the rails along with the rest of the trim and then mask dado/picture rails carefully and then spray the walls, and afterwards the ceiling?
Many thanks for all your inspirational postings. With best wishes,
Rob
Hey Rob.. no problem, I’m glad you’ve come to me for advice.. basically your logic is right (all woodwork first - ceiling last).. In terms of spraying (obviously job prep etc first).. you’d always take care of all the woodwork first, then mask up for walls, this would include dado / picture rails.. then if you have different colours split by the dado for example.. spray from the bottom up.. so if you mask the skirting (brown paper as usual) and the dado, you could use a wider tape, masking the bottom edge of the rail, then top edge of the rail and if the tape is wide enough the 2 runs will cover.. otherwise run a 3rd strip of tape along the middle.. then spray your colour over that rail.. pull the masking (you could look at keeping the top edge on) then tape and drape plastic from the dado down, covering the skirting.. spray your next colour up onto the ceiling as normal.. pull all the masking then tape and drape the entire wall to finish up spraying the ceiling 👍 Hope that makes sense.. it’s not as tricky as it sounds, an extra colour would (most likely) add a day to the job with drying tines.. my HSL video had a dado in the hall, can’t remember how much footage I filmed of the hall if you can see it.. it was only a one colour wall / white ceiling though 👍 ..Take care my friend, let me know how this progresses 😆 regards Pete
@@PaintHQ Hi Pete, many thanks for such a detailed answer. I’d missed noticing the dado on your HSL video, so took another look and found it at 9.26! I’m now looking forward to the job. With thanks and best wishes, Rob
Ah cool 😆 ..You’re very welcome buddy, anytime 💯 .. let me know how you get on
Id definitely warn them of doing that if the rail is different from the frames and skirt when it joins it looks shit ... they probably want classy not a clown house.. google search it and show them..but id spray it finished then mask it off.
Great video pete. Can i ask if your spraying bare skirting and trim what products you recommend. Also if a litlle satin overspray gets on the newly plastered wall is it ok to emulsion straight over or will you see it . Cheers bud well done again
Thank you Mick, appreciate that.. My go to products are typically..Tikkurila - Helmi 30 or Helmi 80 (30 is the satin finish). Then I would normally use the primer from the same system, so with Tikkurila I would use Otex Alva (it’s a very good adhesion primer).. Then I also like Caparol, so you have the PU-Satin, and another excellent adhesion primer called their Haftprimer 👍 ..Finally I’m a big fan of manufacturer coatings, such as AkzoNobel’s top coat and primer (it’s more of a high build primer).. Bear with me, it’s on my list to put a video together, spraying my go to materials for woodwork.. I’ve definitely got a video coming up soon where I’m spraying Tikkurila Helmi 80 (and Otex Akva) on a relatively large stairs 👍 as part of a HSL 😆 ..As for the overspray, I’ve never experienced a problem where the emulsion wall paint coats the oversprayed area 👍 ..Hope this helps a little, I’m there for you as always my friend 💯 Pete
@@PaintHQ thanks a mill pete cant wait for the stairs video just to see how you mask and what order you spray. Got a little bit of practice with my sprayer last few weeks. I got to spray 2 pebble dashed cottages. I found it great for learning. Thanks again mate 👍
That’s great news, yeah spraying exteriors are perfect for learning and great fun.. you’ll gain more and more confidence, you’re doing great my friend.. and remember, if something doesn’t quite go right, message me and I’ll do my best to reassure you 👍👌😊
@@PaintHQ thanks pete
Just wondering who the fuck would put a thumbs down to that vid. 😂😂unbelievable.
Thanks for the words of support my friend.. I guess some people feel, spraying or the process is not to their liking.. I’m just trying to make an entertaining video, bring a little admiration to the painting trade, pass on some knowledge, at the sane time I’m more than happy to receive the input and knowledge of others.. keep in touch Tom.. regards Pete
That's a really great video mate. I recently sprayed a freshly plastered ceiling using ar2 but only thinned by about 20 or 30 percent and it did bubble and peel in places. I put this down to maybe going in to thick with it? Or maybe I didn't thin it enough ? Or maybe a bit of both !?
Also, did you use pink tesa over the little green once painted and how long did you leave the little green to dry?
Only asking as again I misted with ar2 and left overnight and it still peeled with using pink tesa over it .
Soz for all the questions! Many thanks
Hey Chris, really appreciate you watching and giving the kind feedback 💯 ..Maybe just to edge on the side of caution, with AR2 by design providing such solid coverage, I’d look to thin an AR2 mist a bit more.. say about 50/50 or 60/40 in favour of more water.. at 60/40 the mist is still pretty solid and sucks into the fresh plaster a treat 👌 Regarding the Little Greene.. I mist coated (allowed to dry) and sprayed Little Greene in one day.. the following day, I masked off and sprayed the main walls.. My actual preference is Deltec Sensitive, I do occasionally use Tesa due to availability.. I know a lot of people rate Tesa, for some reason I have more success with Deltec.. I always use a sensitive tape when masking off walls (then use Q1 General Purpose / or SP80 on the hand masker), luckily I don’t get many snags... Hope this helps a little my friend.. ask as many questions as you want, I’ll always help if I can.. keep in touch.. regards Pete 🎨💯
Great reply cheers Pete
All the best
Chris
You’re very welcome my friend 💯
Nice job. I wondering why u use Ultra Handheld for ceilings?
Hey, thanks for the feedback and great question 👍 ..2 reasons, the big sprayer (395) had moved onto the next project.. and there was a small touch up to another ceiling in this house.. The Ultra Handheld is perfect for small ceilings and touch up jobs 👍 ..Really nice to hear from you, keep in touch my friend.. Regards Pete 🎨💯
Do you leave the windows masked up until the room is finished or do you peel it off whilst the paint is still wet to avoid peeling? Then reapply new stuff
Hi Ashton, thanks for the question.. typically I remove masking when wet, like you say to avoid the risk of peeling.. Great to have your input, keep in touch buddy.. regards Pete
nice video....with how much water is the paint diluted?
Hello my friend.. thank you so much for the support.. with the mist coat, dilution is approx 30% ..then the top coats of emulsion is just a splash to help ease the flow and spray at a slightly lower pressure.. trim / woodwork paints, I don’t thin.. and only emulsions I thin.. hope this helps, more than happy to help anytime.. I’ll always get back to you.. thanks for supporting PaintHQ.. regards Pete
Amazing work! May I ask a question? I see you don't use a dedicated primer. You like to add 30% water to your existing paint? Is there a reason behind it?
Thank you so much, I appreciate your kind words of support 🙏 You’re right, these days I’ll use an acrylic based ‘dedicated’ primer, such as in the video below (at the end), I use Beissier Drywall Primer.. Then anytime where I mix a mist coat, I’ll use an acrylic base emulsion (such as Johnstones Acrylic Durable Matt) and knock back 30%.. My preference is a dedicated primer as you say, but I believe a mist coat still has its place.. thanks for your question my friend, keep in touch 🙏 regards Pete

I really appreciate you replying to my question. Thank you. 😊
@g.rbuilders136 You’re very welcome my friend, anytime 🙏 If you’re interested in the Beissier Drywall Primer (and you’re in the UK), I use Belmore Tools (online).. very cost effective solution 👍 regards Pete
It looks like you're using the Graco contractor pc compact gun. I am thinking about getting it or the non-compact version. Would you give you're personal pro's and/or con's/impression of it. Thank you! Nice job on that room, looks sharp!
Hi Tobias, really appreciate you watching the video 💯 Yeah it’s the Graco Contractor Gun PC Compact Gun.. in my opinion the Graco PC (Pro Connect) guns are the best in the industry for airless spray guns.. their introduction changed the game in soft trigger pulls, ergonomic light weight design that reduces hand fatigue and of course the PC quick change gun cartridge for on the job rebuild.. the original (bigger) version has the ability to alter the trigger length from the most popular 2 finger, to 4 finger if that’s what you prefer.. the difference with the compact is a static 2 finger trigger (you can’t alter that), smaller (compact) pencil filters and a different hand placement on the gun, where 2 fingers wrap round the hose attachment part of the gun.. sounds weird, but it so comfortable and adds that bit more manoeuvrability, especially when spraying trim / woodwork.. both have very small advantages over the other, so the bigger version perhaps, very slightly isn’t so manoeuvrable when spraying trim (only slightly).. whereas the bigger version is a bit more stable when tilting back to spray ceilings (just slightly an advantage over the compact).. but yeah both are awesome guns, I know very highly regarded in the airless spraying world.. both the same retail price.. I believe the compact comes with a free shoe lace whip, which really makes a big difference to manoeuvring the gun.. hope this helps.. keep in touch and let me know which one you go for, and let me know if I can help at all with anything else.. regards Pete 🎨💯
@@PaintHQ Thank you so much for taking the time to write the detailed and gracious reply, it really helps and appreciated! I will let you know which one I purchased! Thanks again! -Tobias
You’re very welcome, anytime.. feel free to reach out if I can help 😆
Would i set up a tritech t5 at 800 PSI. For walls and ceilings i followed the booklet it says 2000 PSI which i think is too much overspray. Help a newbie thanks
Sorry for the delayed response.. happy to help if I can 👍 Pressure (psi) is dependent on tip size and product (viscosity) that you’re spraying.. basically you need to test your spray pattern before spraying your project.. start low, spray a test and up the pressure by say 200psi and test again.. keep testing until the bands (tails) each side of the fan pattern disappear.. you’re looking for a solid even coating across the middle, with soft feathered edges 👍 ..hope this helps.. keep in touch, would love to hear how you get on.. regards Pete
@@PaintHQ thanks pete 👍
Did you spray wood trim first in gloss topcoat?
Yes my friend.. trim sprayed first, primed and topcoats in a satin finish 👍
Why did you not do the ceiling first? Isnt that easier as you wont have to mask the entire walls?
Hello my friend.. it really is so much easier to mask a line with delicate / sensitive tape and then use 99” ceiling to floor plastic that protects the walls from overspray and protects woodwork / trim from dry fall.. I guess you can think of it like cutting in a wall with a brush.. it’s easy to find a line along the wall.. same with masking.. keep in touch buddy, great to have you contributing to the channel.. regards Pete 🎨💯
Hi Pete, spot on job. Have you ever had a problem with the paint pulling using the Deltec Purple Delicte? Also have you ever mist coated with Johnstone's Covaplus or Durable before following on with the same top coats and if so at what ratios for mixing. Thanks.
Hi Lisa, thanks for your feedback, really appreciated.. The only time I have problems with Deltec Purple, is when I’ve prepped and repainted (sprayed) someone else’s work and it became evident that the initial paint job, the fresh plaster / skin wasn’t mist coated / primed.. it’s a horrible situation, we just don’t know historically how the plaster was prepped.. or another possibility could be dust contamination of the walls.. I think in either of these situations, it wouldn’t matter how low tack the tape is, there’s real potential for the paint to pull 🙈 Otherwise I’ve personally found Deltec Purple very good, the shade of purple is easy to see when finding your line too Vs other brands.. regarding mist coating / Johnstones.. in the past I would use Covaplus on my ceilings, I actually don’t mind the Johnstones range 👍 ..Including the Acrylic Durable for walls.. this video I’m spraying the walls (over a previous paint job) czcams.com/video/QIXCcJ3IIXM/video.html ..For mist coating lately I typically use Tikkurila AR2 mixed 50/50 with water.. have you ever tried AR2? It’s an awesome very flat matt finish for ceilings.. or I’m looking to use an acrylic primer for fresh plaster, something like Tikkurila Optiva Primer.. sorry I sound like an advert for Tikkurila 🙈 ..So yeah, in theory you could have success with the acrylic durable mixed 50/50 as a mist due to the acrylic base.. but I’d look into something more specific.. Johnstones do Joncryl Primer, which includes plaster as a substrate 👍 hope this helps a little, feel free to get back to me.. I appreciate your contribution to the channel.. regards Pete 🎨💯
@@PaintHQ Thanks for a very detailed reply Pete. I use AR2 on ceilings all of the time now (roller finish) and its faultless just a little expensive, £43 is the cheapest I can get it local and its still further away from my local Johno's, however, they also supply a lot of the Tik gear which I have been thinking about trying. I tried the Joncryl recently on top of silk and it covered great and stuck solid however I found I had to let the top coat down a bit to get it to lay off better. I also tried Johno's durable matt as a mist coat using their recommended ratio of 4 parts paint to 1 part water, its stuck well but I haven't put a load of tape on it (usually use Frog Yellow) to try a pull test (I could as its my rental property without fear of upsetting a customer) I tried a few spot tests I'd say 20 different areas and 3 patches pulled back to plaster so I've lost a bit of confidence with that method, maybe a higher ratio as you suggest 50/50. This is one of the areas that is putting me off doing full rooms the risk of paint pulling. Thanks again.
You’re very welcome, feel free to ask questions anytime and I’ll always do my best to help.. It’s good Tikkurila is starting to feature in Johnstones trade centres, I believe the parent company PPG brought Tikkurila 👍 ..Have you joined the Tikkurila Pro Club? It’s free and you’ll get a discount, it might work out better or maybe your Johnstones store might match your discounted price.. I basically phone my orders via Tikkurila’s offices in Edinburgh, I especially keep a stock of AR2.. they’ll deliver next day for free👍
@@PaintHQ hi Pete did you get to try the Optiva primer for a mist coat mate?
Hey Richard, great to hear from you my friend.. yeah it performs very well, I’d use it again.. or alternatively, if I have a stock of AR2 I’d mix that for a mist coat.. I’ve actually been mixing AR2 with less water lately, so only 30% water (70/30 in favour of AR2).. hope you’re keeping well and having success.. regards Pete
With most coat is it 50/50 water and white paint?
Hey Danny, thank you for your question.. yeah 50/50 or you can push it to 70/30 (30% water), especially if mist coating a ceiling in white, it will start to look solid very quickly 👍 ..for mixing the mist coat, use an acrylic based emulsion or you could use an acrylic primer that’s specific for fresh plaster.. that way you might not need to thin, but it wouldn’t hurt to add 30% water for the very first coat.. hope that helps my friend.. keep in touch, it’s great to have your contribution on the PaintHQ channel 🙏 regards Pete
Hi there. Do you ever back roll the first coat??
Good question my friend.. no in my opinion there’s no requirement to back roll the first coat.. if back rolling is required, just back roll the 2nd / final coat 👍 ..great to have you input on the channel, keep in touch.. regards Pete
@@PaintHQ thank you so much for your reply. Your videos are very enjoyable and also your advice and knowledge has been very valuable in the comments. Keep up the good work 👍👍
You’re welcome anytime.. appreciate the support, means a lot 🙏 regards Pete
Seems like a lot of water added to the paint. Are there any issues with dry times or coverage?
Hi Jason, thanks for your input my friend.. is it the mist coat that you’re referring to?.. good question, I’ve actually started to reduce my mix of mist coat to just 30% water (approx).. 70/30 mix ..anything around 70/30 - 50/50 will be fine in my opinion, the fresh plaster sucks in the water from the mist and drys very very quick 👍 ..thanks again, keep in touch.. regards Pete
@@PaintHQ thanks for your response. I’m a painter here in Texas and was wondering if there were any dry or wet spots in the final finish. Thanks a bunch!
Hey Jason, ah awesome to hear from you in Texas 🇺🇸🙏
..The finish is a lovely even coat and dries down a lovely flat matt my friend ..hope you keep in touch, I’m happy to help and advise if I’m able to 👏 ..regards Pete
Hi there, love the video's mate, a couple of questions, do you pull the masking off when wet and on the graco ultra what number do you usually run for gloss. my gloss paint is quite thin 5% water and still getting tails on 7 using a 208. Cheers From Australia.
Hey Paul, thanks for your feedback.. really great to hear from you in Australia 🇦🇺👏👌😆 ..It’s a pleasure to be able to help and advise you any way I can 👍 ..First of all, yeah I pretty much pull the tape wet.. maybe it dries a fraction, if it’s soaking wet, your hands get covered in paint 🙈 ..Regarding the speed / setup of the handheld.. I too use a 208 for thin low viscosity material, but I’m at speed 3 or 4.. you’re right not really wanting to go above 7... as a general rule with airless spraying.. if you still get tails after when increasing pressure - increase tip size - so an .008 - .010.. here’s what I would try.. you mention thinning 5%.. I wouldn’t thin at all and up the tip size to a 210, I’m guessing your speed will be around 5... Then if you’re getting tails at speed 5, try upping to 7.. if still tails.. drop back to 5 AND thin the material with just a drop👍
Is your 208 a Graco FFLP ?.. they are great tips, just sometimes, for an unknown reason you get tails like you describe (I’ve heard others say the same).. let me know how you get on, keep in touch buddy, always great to hear from you.. regards Pete
Hi Pete, just want to say thank you for your reply. i just love the way you answer peoples questions, not just one sentence answers but an essay, your a good man.
anyway back to business. masking tape off wet after last coat, rolling the paper into itself, cool.
I seem to get a few blockages with the Graco FFLP 208, even bought the finer mesh filters. i swapped it back to a wagner HEA 311 with better results but get sagging on some corners of door frames. i think it puts out too much paint or i need to go faster. will have a look for a 210 and look up some of your trim video's
I have the wagner 250 pro and graco ultra, this is a hobby but you never know, a career change at 57. A lot of people over here hate painting and most houses are single story.
All your advise is now locked in and i think you will be hearing more from me with more top video's you make.
Cheers Paul.
Hey Paul, you’re very welcome my friend 💯 ..Ah yes I see a potential career change on the horizon 👌👍😆 ..Yeah the .008 tips are more prone to blockages by design.. a blockage can also look like tails, but more extreme.. just a quick point about tip sizes that may not be obvious.. a 210 tip for example will let out the same volume of material as a 410 but in a much narrower fan (4” Vs 8”).. you would need to move much quicker with a 210 tip but the trade off with a 410 is a wider fan resulting in more paint where you don’t want it.. I say this because, if the pattern looks good with a 311, I’d stick with that.. whereas a 210 would help Vs a 208.. You’re right the sagging on the door frame corners is down to speed and the number of times those corners are being hit.. it’s a typical problem with door frames.. you may notice from my videos that door frames (and window reveals), I try to ‘arc‘ around each internal pass, so the paint stops on the horizontal underside.. paint has less to zero chance of sagging on a horizontal (bit like a ceiling).. the architrave / trim part of a door opening is a little trickier, because the vertical surface could get hit multiple times in the corners.. with a 210 tip you may need to move as quick or quicker Vs a 311.. sorry I’m waffling on 🙈 Keep in touch, more than happy to help all I can.. Pete 🎨💯
Cheers Pete, i could talk and learn about this all day mate, if i was doing it more than a hobby i recon i would get it, will look back at some more of your video's and get back to you with more questions.
Cheers Paul.
No problem my friend, happy to help anytime.. 🇦🇺❤️👏👏👏😆
