Just by the way you prep I know you good at what you do. I’m a painter too and I just purchased the same machine doing my first project with it, hopefully everything works out.. Great work brother keep up the good work!! 💪🏼
great video!!! I am spraying a kitchen tomorrow Thursday with my brand new Graco 9.5 hvlp. your video helped me lots to know more about this awesome machine. Thank you!!!!!
I have the 9.5 Graco also 10 yrs old , you really dont need to warm them up, they get warm enough as you spray for even 5 min. Get a plastic 1 gallon bucket to pour and stir before putting that much material into those small cup , leave some product left over to fill cup so your not stopping in the middle of a door and would need to remix more material. That air adjust is really for Multispec, which dials down the material so it sprinkles specs for a decorative effect. And the air adjust lets you spray out for cleaning the leftover material with no air. Tip sizes are the only real adjustment to material flow volume. The turbine air must usually stay the same just to get a decent spray pattern depending on viscosity of different materials. The only time I would turn air down might be very light stains, varnish etc. You may know a lot of this so forgive me, I just add my experience in here for guys new to these somewhat unusual machine compared to simple airless operation I started in the 70's with the more crude HVLP turbine units Your Graco FFLP tip were the game changer. One thing my brother, your starting out right on bidding, 48 yrs ago when I started, I didnt try to do sq footage or per door pricing. I went to the job, calculated my helper costs, my labor , materials and just how many days needed , and how much per day I needed to be competitive. Your a sharp guy, you will do well. I grew so much when I adopted techniques and patching materials from the autobody industry. Are you using that Red autobody glazing ? They have white glazing non catalyzed , works better. You tint it slightly so you can see it over white primer. That red glazing is for pin holes in autobody finishing, water base paints might slide off or fisheye over it, it must be re primed with oil base primers Just look over those cabinet doors at an angle with a good light to see low spots. By the way , are you in Calif ? i'm from Santa Barbara, great climate and a good state to setup your shop outside if needed Remember since you do thin the paint as I still do, no one is forcing you to put a heavy wet coat for your first topcoat, go light. For your second coat, only spray your medium wet coat after the water dries out of the first coat (slightly tacky) The second coat will surely re-wet the second coat melting into it With that blending, you will get the flow needed to rid yourself of most orange peel and reduce the chance of runs if you were applying too heavy a FIRST COAT. In the 80's ,the acrylics were new, but great, I could spray a french door, second coat it in an hour, and close it against the rubber weather stripping in a few hrs. The paint wouldn't pull off. Now ,for me, its all about good ,soft edge spray patterns, don't thin too much, and layering coats. But as you said, all depends on the bid, and if sprayed thick to get your price and get finished on time, it might please the customer very well, even if there is a fine orange peel .
I’ve been spraying for the past 8 months with a GX21 and have to say, other than the cleaning process, prepping and mixing paint, it’s a brilliant way to get a fantastic finish. I haven’t used the HVLP machines but hope to use one soon. Great job and finish, keep up the work.
Bro just used that Emerald paint its amazing!! I brushed and rolled doors,trim and crown it went on like butter and it laid down so nice it was hard to tell i brushed it. I can't imagine how nice it would look if you sprayed it. It has just become my go-to trim paint and door paint. Plus it's exterior also.😱😊👍
My wife and I own/operate a painting business in our town. We stumbled across your video and were pleasantly surprised when we saw the drying racks you set up, we do the same thing. We also use the emerald line and it's an amazing product; we are able to get it around 60 dollars a gal vs 110 though.
I think the main problem is our weather, Scotland we get about two wind free days per year 😂 I would love to spray more but loads more to think about over here in uk as I am sure you will agree
You do a great job! I love the way you explain everything and you have such a positive mindset. I was a painter for 25 years( had my own company for 15) but I recently developed nerve problems in both hands and can't paint anymore.::I miss it terribly. I still enjoy watching your ( and other peoples ) videos even though I currently can't do it. How do you know which door goes where? Keep up the great work.
I appreciate you man. Respects to your time your put into this industry. Thanks for tuning into my videos. I just try sharing my skills and knowledge as best I can.
Love the grind bro 😎 looking to take on my first cabinet paint job I don’t have an HVLP sprayer at the moment could I use an airless sprayer with an FFLP tip and still spray emerald urethane?
It's obvious that you know what you're talking about. Just one suggestion: if you use a microphone it'll be way easier to understand what you say and put all that good info to good use. Keep up the good work 👏
Nice seems 10% seems to be the answer for this product that ive researched. I wanna get a graco hvlp 9.5 for my cabinets and a lot of furniture products as well. I mightve missed it in the video but what needles did you use for the paint and what needle for the shellac primer? Do you do two coats primer, sand after primer, then 1 coat paint, sand and then 2nd coat? Thanks brotha!
Another tip: Find an old hand held electric egg beater. Insert a beater arm into a cordless drill to stir the paint. It actually has less surface area than a paint stick, so not only does it mix faster, there’s less paint to wipe off after mixing.
Do you have tips/advice on spraying high gloss paints with this model. I recently purchased and love it so far. Only thing is that I’m having trouble getting high gloss paints to look really smooth and high shine. They keep looking almost like a satin.
I have a finish pro 7.0. It only came with #3 tip. According to the charts provided by graco the best materials to spray through a #3 are lacquers and enamels. I have a cabinet job and the color is snowbound in satin. In your experience what would be the best product for me to use? Can I prime with a #3 tip?
Great video! Thanks for the great advice and walkthrough your steps, super helpful! Do you ever get a grainy texture (think it’s micro bubbles) using emerald urethane? I’m having to abandon my project because I can’t seem to spray a decent coat without them! Any advice here?
Pick up some of those reusable pour spouts for the 1 qt/gallon cans and you won't make a mess out of the can, waste a bunch of paint and clog up the slot where the lid goes.
Thanks for sharing and doing this video. My question is what you put the air-flow adjustment at in relation to material flow. No one seems to talk about this. If you put the Material flow at 5, is the air flow higher than that or lower? And I noticed you mentioned that you adjust the air flow as the paint level goes down during spraying. Do you mean that you'll raise the material flow and the air flow? Just overall unclear on these settings. btw. I own this sprayer but I am new to this. Thanks.
Dude, if you’re spraying waterborne, spend $5 and buy the rubber red cap that goes over the gallon can to pour the paint and not make a mess. If you’re for certain going to use the entire gallon, no need, but when you have paint left over, using the cap keeps the can and top circular ribs looking brand new and avoid dried latex that may fall into the paint. Yes, I know you filter, but still….
Save the 5.00 and use tape to create a V-shape over the paint gallon. It makes a funnel and keeps paint out of the cover groove. Blew my mind when I first tried it!
I have been using my airless to spray cabinets. You ever use one? I don;t have to refill the paint bucket much. I don't think I could use that short hose on my projects.
I just bought the Graco FinishPro 9.5 with the Edge II gun, and I'll be spraying kitchen cabinets with Emerald. What fluid tip / set are you using - #3, #4, or #5? What are your gun & turbine settings? Thanks!
@ Paul Tortland What tipset did you end up using? Did you sand between coats of the Emerald product? Did you thin it? I'm trying to paint panels and filler strip to match factory cabinets and having difficulty getting the sheen and finish to match perfectly.
@@billbrusky1020 I used a #4 tip and thinned 10%. Adjusted turbine & air flow to desired paint flow & pattern (on a test sheet of cardboard). Worked great. ... Also, I drilled 2 small holes on the bottom edge of the lower cabinet doors & drawers, and on the top edge of the upper cupboard doors, and screwed in large cup hooks, spaced just far enough apart to hang on a heavy duty plastic coat hanger. I hung the door/drawer to paint, then moved it to a closet rod that I suspended from the ceiling with some rope where they could hang dry. The holes will never be seen so don't need to be filled. It worked well and was cheap!
@@ptortland Sweet. I just sprayed my 2nd coat with the #4 and thinned material. Worked much better than the #5 set. However now I have to control my arm speed - no dials for that though! Two small skins look great because I started with them and moved slowly to get good coverage. But the two larger skins will need a light sanding and another coat because I moved too quickly and didn't get adequate paint on to level out. Dang operators!
@@billbrusky1020 As my late father-in-law used to quip, "It's a poor workman who blames his tools!"😆 But indeed, finding the ideal arm speed takes practice, but also is affected by the nature & viscosity of the material you're spraying. Good luck!
One question. I'm a painter as well. When you hang doors like that, do you have to drill holes on the side of the doors? I used a different method of drying. That's why I was just wondering. Hit me back. Thank you.
I do drill holes where when they get reinstalled they can't be seen. I label the door to go exactly as the are. I also fill in files at the end and touch up the holes. Can't see them and comes out clean. Hanging the doors for me just makes it easy to spray both sides of the door panels at the same time. Less mess with laying on dry racks and scuffing the finishes.
I'm Rapides of water-based paint acrylic paint . Problem with - when I painting some oak old doors was plases where I sandit to much. and stairs , some yellow come out. zinser bull yey 123 don't work.
First off, thanks for the video. How high do you have the turbine when spraying the emerald? I saw in another video you had paint at 3 and air at max. Also what are your settings with primer?
Thanks bro. I appreciate yah. I have the Turbine air flo all the way up when spraying Emerald. I have sprayed Emerald with out thinng it but it was hard to get a consistent fluid flow. So over time I practiced thinning and I added 10% water per cup and mixed it really good. I use a #3 needle for primer and I mess with the air controls on both the Turbine and the gun.
Yo buddy just got me. The pro comp .. was wondering. Is the air flow always running unless you shut it off from the valve ? I’m with ya urethane goes 🔥🔥 even hard to clean up from my hands 😂😂
If you have the smart start on the turbine then you have both options at a flick of the switch. You can set it to keep blowing air or set it to smart start and it will shut off automatically after about 7 second of releasing the trigger. I love using the smart start feature. Shuta off as I go place a door somewhere or have to walk away to grab some things. Saves you time.
@@paintlife1904 yo found the problem was using diffrent tip with needle 😂😂 so dumb notice when I saw the number. How long you been having it ? I love this hvlp that finish 😍 hope I do some cabinets soon ha your video made me go for it #HVLP
THATS RIGHT BRO. ENJOY THE F outta that machine! Enjoy the setting up on each project. Dial in your processes and it will all be good. Hmu if you need assistance. I'm outta San Diego CA! Shout out to Jacksonville!🤙🏽✨️💯
I'm curious how much did you charge for a job like that and how long did it take you I am just getting into painting cabinets just needed a little info by the way excellent video

So, I want to paint an iron fence-thinking about SW Pro Industrial Pro-Cryl Universal Primer and SW Pro Industrial Alkyd Urethane Gloss Enamel. Can I spray those with a Fuji Mini-Mite 5-stage system?🤔 Any help is greatly appreciated.😎
I myself like using a 208 fflp/210 fflp for the smaller surfaces like the faces of the box frames. And drawer panels. I like using 308 fflp /410 fflp for larger surfaces like the door panels. Reason being is so when I Spray the material I don't overlap to much and layer to thick with let's say a smaller tip. I want light even coats.
I have a 4 stage Fuji turbine HVLP and I'm going to use it to paint a toy chest with that exact paint. I have a 1.3 tip. SW said I don't need to thin it. Can the turbine/gun handle straight, unthinned paint? Any other tips? Thanks!
Sherwin Williams can say what they want. I always thin emerald urethane. My Graco 9.5 turbine can't push out emerald to a clean atomization unless I use a #5 needle which is too much material. I use a #4 needle with 10% water to thin each cup.
No f-ing way. Use the Ford cup that came with your Fuji. My 5 stage Fuji platinum doesn't come close to putting down an decent finish w/ un-thinned latex.
@@ILruffian ha ha. Thanks for the help. It's pretty scary when you see how much you have to thin using the viscosity cup to get the thinness required. Probably 20-25%.
Buy a pop up tent rap walls on poly let them dry there, lots of dust and shit gonna be attracted to that slow drying urethane, static will draw it use 5% extender don’t listen to SW bout not thinking it down and hit it with kilz primer b4
Yes. It will lose durability and color. You can go past manufacturers recommendations (the rep will tell you off the record that this is OK), but not too much.
@@paintlife1904 thanks for responding. These are high end cabinets. Smooth, no raised or texture. Only reason for trying Emerald was not having to prime. If I have to do that I’ll just go back to Benjamin Moore Advanced
I normally go with Shellac primer if I can find it in stores but I use problock primer (waterbsed)too. I make sure to sand all the surfaces good to where the primer adheres properly
@@paintlife1904 Good Stuff Brother....I just bought the same HVLP today.....early birthday present for the Musicman. Spraying my first cabinets with it tomorrow morning....using Emerald as well. My Sherwin Willaims Rep said don't add any water.....I guess I will find this out tomorrow ...lol
Nice Work!!!! What SW primer would you recommend for for cabinet prep prior to applying the Emerald finish coat? Looking for a quality primer that requires minimal sanding. Appreciate your help on this. Cheers...
Hey brotha I need your help I am trying to find a good hanging rack and good system to spray one at a time hanging like you did .. please help brotha thanks ! Subscribed !
Why dont u just premix the amount you need in a seperate bucket.. Instead of tryin to mix in that little cup each time .. Especialy if you need more that that cup..
I like the video and I like the channel but the fact that has the name Paint life is going to not benefit you as much It’s the Idaho Pantera has that phrase already
Wow, someone who has interest, passion, and pride in their work. GL with your career man, wish you the best, thanks for the knowledge

I really like emerald paint too. I painted my trim and cabinets with it and won't use anything else for wood
Ok i got to ask what you charge for that job? Can't believe all the masking you did...amazing. How long from start to finish did it take you?

You probably need to thin it more. Dealing with viscosity is the Achilles heel of HVLP.
Thin it down and set the pressure to 2000 psi
I have a Husky HVLP with a 1.4 and 1.8 mm nozzle. Big enough to flow?
How many coats of finish and do you sand between coats including the primer?
Your a beast
awesome work and info i wish have a better view bro however outstanding !
What primer do you use?
Try the gallery series. Best paint for cabinets thus far. Matte gloss has a high end finish
Good Vid sir.
Pick up some of those reusable pour spouts for the 1 qt/gallon cans and you won't make a mess out of the can, waste a bunch of paint and clog up the slot where the lid goes.
What primer did you use?
So what’s your equipment that you use to spray with? Awww I should have looked at the title better Graco makes good equipment 💯
quick tip use a paint brush for paint on side of tin instead of you hand
I'm Good with my gloves. Hahaha

Sounds like you were skipping the video too much.
John, here's the answers he shared further down in the comments: he uses a #4 needle with 10% water to thin each cup and max air flow for the Emerald.

So, I want to paint an iron fence-thinking about SW Pro Industrial Pro-Cryl Universal Primer and SW Pro Industrial Alkyd Urethane Gloss Enamel. Can I spray those with a Fuji Mini-Mite 5-stage system?🤔 Any help is greatly appreciated.😎
I've used pro industrial with an hvlp, had to thin it with 10%water per cup.
My question is what kind of tip is best to use for cabinets I have a Graco airless sprayer
I myself like using a 208 fflp/210 fflp for the smaller surfaces like the faces of the box frames. And drawer panels.
I like using 308 fflp /410 fflp for larger surfaces like the door panels.
Reason being is so when I Spray the material I don't overlap to much and layer to thick with let's say a smaller tip. I want light even coats.
I have the 9.5 too. Can you recommend a needle and tip for spraying marine varnish?

I have a 4 stage Fuji turbine HVLP and I'm going to use it to paint a toy chest with that exact paint. I have a 1.3 tip. SW said I don't need to thin it. Can the turbine/gun handle straight, unthinned paint? Any other tips? Thanks!
Sherwin Williams can say what they want. I always thin emerald urethane. My Graco 9.5 turbine can't push out emerald to a clean atomization unless I use a #5 needle which is too much material. I use a #4 needle with 10% water to thin each cup.
No f-ing way. Use the Ford cup that came with your Fuji. My 5 stage Fuji platinum doesn't come close to putting down an decent finish w/ un-thinned latex.
@@ILruffian ha ha. Thanks for the help. It's pretty scary when you see how much you have to thin using the viscosity cup to get the thinness required. Probably 20-25%.
Estimating is simple= LM&OP

Can I use this paint with pink color?
How do the hangers work? Two screws in the top of each door? Thanks
When I remove doors from the top cabinet frames I drill the holes on top sowhen filled in and painted it won't even be noticeable when reinstalled.
Bottom cabinet frames I drill on the bottom of the doors so it's not noticeable after reinstallment
Good evening
Blessings brother
When I am going to spray an exterior door
Using urethane emerald satin
Which needle do in use ??
What's up bro. If using the Graco HVLP. I use the #4 needle and thin it with 50mil of water. 5%
Emerald urethane and pro industrial urethane is the exact same product/formula just different labels.... I use both on cabinets all the time.....
Yo, cool video and good vibes!
Question for anyone that has sprayed Emerald satin. Has anyone ever experienced fish eye with this product?
I've never had an issue like that with Emerald Urethane. But it could be the surface of what got painted.
👍
Buy a pop up tent rap walls on poly let them dry there, lots of dust and shit gonna be attracted to that slow drying urethane, static will draw it use 5% extender don’t listen to SW bout not thinking it down and hit it with kilz primer b4
Is it possible to thin too much in terms of ruining the paint?
Yes. It will lose durability and color. You can go past manufacturers recommendations (the rep will tell you off the record that this is OK), but not too much.
Hello, does this work with latex and oil paint?
I use this for Shellac primer using a #4 needle and then Latex paint(thin down ) I like using Emerald Utethane Trim Enamel from sherwin williams
Bro with the machine can do bathtub pain
my SW Rep said you don't need to prime with this product....trying to get your opinion. Going over oak cabinets that have been poly finished.
I prime oak cabinets always to prevent stain bleed through and also to add a layer of paint to fill in grain
@@paintlife1904 thanks for responding. These are high end cabinets. Smooth, no raised or texture. Only reason for trying Emerald was not having to prime. If I have to do that I’ll just go back to Benjamin Moore Advanced
Whate did you get those hangars

Hey bro What primer are you use for cabinets?
I normally go with Shellac primer if I can find it in stores but I use problock primer (waterbsed)too. I make sure to sand all the surfaces good to where the primer adheres properly
Thanks bro appreciate it that you answer my question 👍🏽 I’m about to paint my very first kitchen and I want to use the same products 🙌🏽keep it up bro
brother i have one those sprayer but i
sprayer no water the cabinets no smooh so bab now i have to add water i see upu video
@@paintlife1904 Good Stuff Brother....I just bought the same HVLP today.....early birthday present for the Musicman. Spraying my first cabinets with it tomorrow morning....using Emerald as well. My Sherwin Willaims Rep said don't add any water.....I guess I will find this out tomorrow ...lol
What needle size u used for emerald paint?
#4 and thinned 5%
@@paintlife1904 thanks 👍🏻
Quiero ver cuando sprayas nunca he usado de agua pienso q c chorrea
Nice Work!!!! What SW primer would you recommend for for cabinet prep prior to applying the Emerald finish coat? Looking for a quality primer that requires minimal sanding. Appreciate your help on this. Cheers...
Emerald is self priming. Of course the cost per gal is more, but it will stick to anything so perhaps just a cheap latex primer would work for you.
BIN zinsser only . #5 needle
Kilz oil primer the way to go. Save some $ too
Cover stain oil primer.

I know you said Walmart … hmmm 🤔 how did you do your little booth

I what to refinish my bathtub
Paint,,,90% prep, 10% paint. So why do we call it painting ? Lol
Why dont u just premix the amount you need in a seperate bucket..
Instead of tryin to mix in that little cup each time ..
Especialy if you need more that that cup..
I appreciate that. Yeah I updated my methods over time. You're right tho.
Why use your glove to clean the paint from the tin ? Use a brush
Smh. Bring me a brush. Sorry sir. 🤣
Mix in some floetrol instead of water.
Tried that with the Urethane but it's a no go. Won't get down to the viscosity I need it to be at to spray the cabinets.
I like the video and I like the channel but the fact that has the name Paint life is going to not benefit you as much It’s the Idaho Pantera has that phrase already
bla bla bla bla .... work finished LOOKU SEE?
Why u mad tho. You going through it see!! Hahaha
