- I use both sprayers.
The gravity fed is probably my favorite right now and the price is right

Hello Beautiful Lady....
Yes, I stayed til the end and I truly appreciate you taking the time to show us how the painters work. It looks a little intimidating to me but I guess all things do in the beginning when you try them out. You make it look so easy to do....
Talk about saving time, those little guys could save the day when you have a lot of projects to complete....
Thanks again Melanie, You are So Awesome!!!
Much Love My Friend,
Marley
Thank you Marley! As always.. I truly appreciate you.
Just like anything... the more you do it the more comfortable you become
Watched to the end. Really appreciated the tips especially on the hardware. Thank you.
I stayed to the end! I only have a 5 gallon compressor so I’m looking for electric. But I use DIY all the time. Thanks Mel!
Wow I want one to spray but also I don’t cause I love the feel of that first dip in the paint on the furniture and watch it go on
Agree!
I only do this when the shop is empty and I need a bunch fast
Definitely stay till the end was kind of the main reason I clicked the video was for the details and adjustments of the spraygun so thank you. Great video.
Yup, stayed! I have watched ten videos for this sprayer and yours finally made sense of all the knobs for me, so thank you for being so thorough, I really appreciate it!
Oh good! I’m glad it helped 😊
That is true
I stayed til the end. You are a good teacher. Thank you.
Thank you too!
I bought a sprayer and have been so anxious to use it. This cleared up all my questions now I'm even more excited to get spraying. Thanks for another great video!
Yay! Glad it helped! Get going 🤗
I definitely stayed and took notes on the sprayers. Thanks for sharing
Awesome. I hope it helped
Yes stayed to the end. Very helpful I have a sprayer but never used it.
Thank you for letting me know. Give it a go! You can do it
Yes I stayed. I needed to hear all of it. Thank you so much.
Thank you too🤗
Good morning from Greece 😀 Beautiful results, but we don't use spray guns as much here and I watched the whole video in order to further my knowledge about them... Yeah I will stick to my paintbrush lol😂 Great job, as always! 💝
Thank you for sticking around. I appreciate you
I watched all the way through! Loved the detailed info on the sprayguns
Yes I stayed to the end ,I appreciate this tip ,thank you very much,the furniture look wow !!.
Thank you. I am happy it was helpful
Perfect timing. I'm wanting to start spraying! Thanks.
I stayed to the end. Thanks for the details!
All the way to the end! Great job, lady! Thanks so much for the video!
Thank you too 🤗
I stayed to the end! You have helped me with the intimidation of tools. Yes more videos on them would be awesome!
Thank you for talking about the importance of straining your paint!!!!! I have met so many people that think they just need more air pressure, when what they really need is to strain their damn paint! LOL! Also, if you don’t have a mesh strainer, old pantyhose work beautifully.
I have to admit that I learned the hard way.
Great video, definitely answered all my questions. Thanks for sharing!
I stayed until the end.thanks for sharing your knowledge
I stayed!! I have a sprayer but have never used it!! You make it look so easy!!
It takes practice. Bit totally nice to have
I love your explanations thank you.. Only thing is the hardware color I would paint them Gold or black 😊 beautiful furniture ❤❤
I stayed til the end!! I watch your videos because I want to learn.
Thank you
Thanks for the video. Just sprayed a desk and it turned out great.
Lovely 🤗
Yes, I stayed to the end because I’m interested in all my if the tools you use!!! Thanks so much for explaining the sprayers, really informative, you rock!!!
Thanks Susan! I think you rock too! Ok I will work on a video running through the tools
You are amazing! Thank you for explaining the paint sprayers, and yes I stayed till the end! I found you through your Dodge truck tailgate bench video. I ordered all of the smaller sizes to try on a few projects! Cheers!
Nice! Thank you for being here! 🤗
Hi Melanie....always a great feeling to gather pieces needing same color and knocking them out quick....I have sprayers and paint brushes...and like you....use both depending on need and time.....also great to knock out a bunch of smalls even if for base coat! They are a little intimidating at first....my husband owns a body shop and used to paint cars for a living back in the day....he is the master of the spray gun...so most times I get Everything ready and he sprays for me....thanks for sharing😊k
Stayed to the end, your video is the only I've seen go into detail on use and cleaning. Thanks!
Thank you
Your staging was cool and the pieces turned out great. Also loved your Black Sabbath T. PS ~ stayed till the end 😍
Thanks girl 😜
I watched to the end am seeing a lot of people it seemed to have helped. Many people feel very intimidated when first trying a sprayer out. I suggest getting some real large pieces of cardboard use some cheap paint and spray away get a feel for it and your rhythm it won't take long and you'll feel much more comfortable doing the furniture.
Agree!
I always stay to the end. We love you Melanie.
And I love you! Thank you so much
Thank you so much. I have had a sprayer for a long time but have been too scared to use it...you explained it in a way I could really understand. I watched it to the end and would love more informative videos. And by the way...I love your hair!!!
I’m glad it helped! And thank you for the hair compliment 🤗
Thank You So Much I have been looking at Harbor Freight at all different kinds of paint guns and was so confused. Thank you for this! It cleared up a lot of my questions!
Yay. I’m so happy it helped
I stayed to the end, thank you!
Thank you too
This came at the perfect time , going to try a sprayer for the first time on a dining table and chairs , it was free so if I mess up I won’t feel so bad and then there is sandpaper to fix it I suppose . Been feeling intimidated by it but you make it look so easy .Thanks for the encouragement ❣️
Sweet!
Thinking of getting a better sprayer. The one I have says not to use chalk paint. I stayed to the end. Thank you for sharing your experience and information.
I stayed to the end, love your videos and attitude!

Stayed to the end Mel. I just bought a gravity fed one 2 days ago so your video is awesome timing for me! I now feel a bit more confident to give it a crack on the weekend. Thank you for this. I love a good tool! 😘🌈😍
Cool!
I always stay to the end of your videos. Santa is bringing me a sprayer for Christmas, so I am watching every video I can on every sprayer out there. Great to know you can spray chalk type paints through them. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! Your Santa is wonderful 🤗
Fantastic to see someone wearing the correct ppe when spraying .. great video 😊👍🏽
It’s horrible! 😜
Watched the replay. Yes i stayed til the end! Thanks Mel! ❤
Thanks Pat!
I stayed till the end. Actually I got interrupted while I was watching and came back a day later to watch the rest of it. A true fan! lol I would be interested in more videos on your tools, etc. I'm always curious about what people use and why. Thanks Melanie!
Ok cool. Thank you so much!
Replay. Yep! Stayed to the end and will watch again! I have cabinet painting in my future, so I really want a sprayer. Great info, great teacher! Thank so much, Melanie!
Thank you!
I watched it to the end & thank You I have the same sprayer been sitting in the box for 2 mos.😳 been scared to use it. But you made where I going to give it a try!!! Thank you.
Good! I suggest getting it all set up and using water on a piece of cardboard to get used to the settings. Then you will feel more comfortable with paint
I STAYED! Great info!
Here till the end! Thanks for the info!
Thank you
I stayed to the end thanks for all the explanations.
I stayed to the end of the vid... Lol. I love your videos and I even learned a thing or 2. Keep up the great work and I'll be waiting for the next video 👌🙂 👍
~~God Bless~~
Thanks Monica
Yes I watched to the end. Thanks for the info. Very interesting.
Yes, I stayed to the end! Great video and information!
Thank you for staying
Stayed till the end. Your explanation was super helpful. I’ve tried spraying a few times, but I got so frustrated. Plus, I felt like I was wasting too much paint. I guess I need to just keep trying.
Yes... practice practice
I stayed til the end. Thanks for the detailed explanations, and would like to learn more!😊
Thank you
I definitely stayed to the end. I love learning more stuff. I would really like learning more about some of the power tools and perhaps about hand tools that we can use if we don't have a compressor.
Ok. Thank you for letting me know
I stayed as I failed big time painting the inside of my art studio. So picture this, I have a full length yellow raincoat on with a hood which I had up sunglasses barefoot and I go inside the building and start spraying. I didn’t watch where I was painting I just held my arm out and sprayed. It made for a very interesting look when I was done🤪
Hahahah
Excellent video, Melanie!
Thank you Karen
Stayed to end, love details!
Thanks Linda
I stayed til the end! Very informative..have yet to use a sprayer..might have to try it. :)

🤗🤗
I stayed. Very informative. Thanks.
Thank w
What brand pancake compressor do you use? Do you feel using such a small tank is a problem or has issues?
I have a dewalt. If you have space and money get a bigger model. Mine works good enough… but sometimes bigger it better I would imagine… I would not know lol 😂
Cool. Yes I watched til the end.
Thanks Chloe
Yes- loved the info at the end. What about the air compressor? What size do you recommend and will a pancake air compressor work?
I use a 6lbs pancake.
Hey Mel! I’ve never sprayed DIY paint but I do have an HPLV sprayer and a critter. I haven’t used the critter yet. Your explanations on how to use and how to clean was great and so so were your pieces🥰 I’d love more tool tutorials😊
Awesome. Thanks you
I stayed until the end!Thank you for the info😊
Thank you
Hi, what kind of air regulator do you have attached to the hose? Also, can I use the same air regulator for the critter? Ty
Hey I also liked that Black Sabbath tee shirt. I have a story about Black Sabbath but it's not one for chat. Lol.
Well Roxana. You could always message me on my Facebook lol
Thank You!
I stayed. I'm unlikely to ever use a sprayer as I don't have enough outdoor space. The detailed videos are great though, and I'm looking forward to learning more about other tools. Electric saws would be handy. 🤗
Thank you for letting me know. That’s half the battle 🤗
Washed to the end. Thank You!! I didn't catch the name of the purple one, but I can look for the color style at harbor... thanks again!
Wow, wish I had seen your video this afternoon. Tried my HF sprayer with rustolem furniture and cabinet paint. Added some water, but I guess not enough and didn’t strain, so needless to say not a good result. I’ll try again with more water. Great video, more please!
Sorry that didn’t work out well. Ok I will do my best thank you
Try making it the consistency of milk and always remember to strain when you put it in the sprayers cup.
Thanks! I’d love to hear more about how to use tools 🛠 I don’t have anyone else to teach me 😁
Ok I will do my best! I am self taught also.
Stayed to the end!
Thanks for sharing! I did stay til the end because I do have a gravity fed sprayer. Unfortunately it’s still in the box! But I am feeling more confident after your video 😉
You can. Try it out
I stayed! When I paint my kitchen cabinets again I’ll definitely use a sprayer. Brushing took 500 years 🥴
Lol. Yes it helps to speed things up! Thanks for staying
Stayed til the end👍
How many gallons is your compressor? I've heard these guns won't work on the smaller ones most people have.
I have heard that too. Mine works fine. 6 gallon
@@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie Well dang...I have 6 gallon California Air. I returned the new sprayers I had purchased and went and bought an Earlex. I didn't want to try it out only to have it not work and be stuck with it. You're the only one that has said anything less than a 30 gallon would work. Wish I had seen and asked this question first!
@@kathleentorres2010 well shoot. I use it and it’s just fine for furniture. My good friend that sprays soooo much more then me has the same.
I would not feel confident painting a house lol. But seriously I have not had problems. Maybe the grass is truly greener with a larger one… but I wouldn’t know. 😆🤔🤷♀️
Oh this is gonna be great good sanding job
What size compressor do you use for the paint sprayer? I bought the Harbour Freight spray gun but then realized my compressor is too small.
I use a 6 lbs. it works good
To the end thanks for the tips
Hi Melanie,I'm just curious as to what size air compressor you believe would be a good size for a beginner?
Mine is Dewalt 16. Bigger it always better. But I don’t have much space or money
I know this video has been out a while but I'm hoping you can help,. I have the critter, love it, but I seem to get a lot of mist particles in the error and I don't know why. Any suggestions?
I suggest you strain your paint… also make sure you have it thinned properly
I stayed until the very end. One question…on the sprayer end, which way do you spray for each setting? If you spray side to side do you want horizontal or vertical? Spraying up and down horizontal or vertical? Great video. It looks like you are diluting 2 parts paint to one part water?
It depends on your paint and the way you are most comfortable
What type of compressor do you use? I heard the compressor is very important when you are spraying.
I have a 6lbs pancake Dewalt I found on sale
@@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie Melanie, I bought a spray gun and when I got it, the fine print said, "...need a 30 gal air compressor". Those things are HUGE and heavy. Are you (or did you) spray all of those pieces of furniture with a 6 gal. air compressor?
I use this all the time I spray. I don’t want a big one around. I don’t spray all the time though probably once twice a month
