You are the only Professional Painter I key up and watch on RU-vid, I just want to extend my gratitude and thank you for the amount of help you've given. Considering, as a 50yr old dude. I'm living in my grandparents parents home built in 1930. Your clear and informative instruction has been almost as good as scripture, meaning Top-Notch info, keep up the good work. Once again Thank you and GOD BLESS.

I recently found your channel on RU-vid and find you expertise and product very helpful. I used both Graco and Titan pumps to paint oilfield equipment many years ago and just started painting houses for a living and your information has really helped me in my new venture. Thanks and much success.

Thanks! Great video Chris. Can't go wrong with simplifying the operation. I am a landlord and DIY as much as I can. I do all my own painting and really enjoy putting on a professional looking result, using good products, good prep, and your.....tips.... are invaluable :)

As a lifelong painter and contractor my earliest experiences in the late 1960s were done primarily with pot and hose as airless was just coming in and the old timers I worked for were resistant to them. My years contracting in residential/comml were all airless. I was also in the era of oil base enamels and switching to the early water base products with their growing pains. Always enjoyed painting.

totally helped me out quite a bit, using a 515 ,have others too, primariliy doing inside (im a trim contractor shooting my own house) you really were awesome on everything, quite informative, im gonna get the other ones just to have if nothing else. Thanks again!!!

As a 65+ active woman, revamping my home, giving it a face lift, I am learning so much from you, THANK YOU!! You are a no BS guy, I love that, keep it simple, show/tell what works for what and what does not!! Love your education, sure helps speed up my project! Hugz.

You're amazing and I watch you all the time, I've been painting 22 years now and always like to keep learning and you are the man, I use 310"s for trim work, I carry a 410 in my pocket and I switch it out when I get to my doors, that way I don't have to adjust my pressure cause it's the same orifice size so just switch it out, do my doors then can switch my#310 back in and continue with my millwork, if I'm using acrylics I make sure that I have a medium course gun filter so it can pass through and atomize properly, if I'm spraying lacquers I use a fine finish filter and use a fine finish tip . Another thing we'd do when doing car lot's on exteriors, Wed put in a bigger tip , turn down the pressure to where it's literally fingering and back roll, of course back rolling is a must, we'd just do it so there was no over spray, basically it was coming out like a garden hose. We also spray down to the Second to last board on lap siding on exteriors, basically cut in underneath the board with the gun so we don't have to mask off the foundation, just roll out the bottom board. Thank you so much for your pro tips and knowledge. Sincerely Lorenzo gig harbor WA.

I don't often leave comments in videos, but I think I just learned more about painting than I have in 40 years of being a homeowner. I'm not telling my wife about any of this... you just became my secret weapon! Well done, I'm in...

This video is really helpful! I've been spending too much time fussing around with finding the "perfect" tip for each job. Your 3-tip solution prevents wasted time. Thanks!

I'm not a painter, I build furniture and cabinets but I always come to your page when I need painting tips. Thanks for the content.

Ur vids are very well done and appropriately funny while informative. Thanks for the tips and schooling on what u know as ur biz, u rock Brother!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge/experience, much appreciated.

I'm needing your expertise on how to spray paint. I'm a spray hack at best. You've made some sense of what can be a complex process to a knuckle head. Explaining the tools, etc. Thank you partner.

Holy shit! We use the exact same combo. I use a 214 for most trim packages though. Thanks for the great content

Very practical in your reasoning and explanations, and very easy to follow. You're making this paint expedition a walk in the park for us. I'm feeling somewhat indebted to you for sure. You're likey new best friend

My favorite exterior tip or even new construction interior is a 6/21. I call it my fire hose. Stall for a millisecond, runs.

I've been learning from this guy on his channel. This guy is just experienced and good

You're a good dude man...Thank you for the knowledge

Thanks for the TIPPS Chris.

Thank you so much for the video. I learned a lot

Wow - such great info. Seriously great stuff! Thank you.

Thanks for taking the time to explain a ll the information on spraying

Great detail, great explanation. Thank you !

Love them HEA tips. Much new construction or repaints here (ect) houses are 3ft apart. The hea prevent me from masking the wall of the neighbors house. Thank you for your time in the video

I have a Graco X7. Can't go up to a 619. SO I bought a 517 going off your tip of a wider fan and more paint. What a difference between it and the 415 I had on the rough cedar siding. Didn't think it would be that noticeable. I went to painting myself after getting ripped off by the contractor that did our siding by thinning his paint and laying down just enough to change the color (paid for by insurance after a hail storm). The paint was thin enough that one pass with a 2300psi washer removed the entire coat, exposing the older color underneath. Talked to a contractor who told me some painters cheated on insurance jobs to maximize profits as he'd repainted houses that had been painted that way on an insurance claim. Made me wish you were here in Colorado. :)

Good film as always , thanks

Thank you Man great info profissional.

Excellent info. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing your hard earned knowledge. I am a DIYer but planning to buy a sprayer and paint my 2 story Craftsman wood exterior summer 2024. Starting my research now with all your videos.

ALL WAYS GREAT THANKS FOR THE LESSON.

ive always used a 623 blue tip for ceilings and a 517 for walls but the way i learned for walls was to always backroll it in so i always like a old worn out 517 thats all blown out to do walls with cuz we back roll it anyways

Great infomation nice one bud happy new year 2020.

IAM learning from your videos alot thanks

Thank You For this helpful 🙏 Video.

You grew on me I love your vids and thanks for the help

35 year painter. Great video!

You are doin a great job with all the vids! Always exciting to see how much effort and info you put into all of them. And you are having a blast with the branding and merch .... who is your graphic designer? Cheers !

Great information thank you for sharing

Great videos ! Could a person use a 311 tip to do walls if a finer wall finished was wished for even though it’s slower???

Thank you for your videos I appreciate it

Thank you for the great info!

Chris, I love your videos. I am a new subscriber wondering what equipment you would use to paint spindle chairs? Can you use an airless sprayer with a small fine finish tip? Thank you

Thanks mate you really explain thing well I just subscribed 👍👍👍

Thanks for you video. I am from Russia. You guides are very usefull. In Russia there are no a lot of useful items, lik e tips saver. I use plastic bottle with liquid for brakes in it.

Apreciate all you videos ! I have a cuestion i am using a graco x5 and the tip get stock so i turned and turned again but after 1 minute again and again , what your recomend? Thanks for you help stay well

Great video. Thank you.

Clearly the best video of the pack

Thanks Paint Life,great Tips🤠

Graco FFLP 518, 414, 310. No exactly the same, but they work for me. I sprayed a large interior ceiling today with a 5ft wand equipped with a Graco clean shot and had extremely light paint fall. You really give great advice and I enjoy your videos. Thanks.

208 graco fine finish works great for me on french doors and cabinet doors.

515 tip would you use that aswell for exterior brick? Brick has recessed mortar joints and has been previously painted. Thanks for all the videos!!

Thank you my friend.

great information, newbie question, going to be priming interior pine walls and ceilings inside tiny home, would you still use 619 tip?

Just got a graco sprayer thanks for the info

Sorry for coming so late on the questions: what difference will you see on a 515 ltx vs a lp tip?

Thanks Paint Life,great info

Is a 310 tip good for spraying the high build laquers that you mentioned on another video. I’m a DIY trying to spray my bare wood maple kitchen cabinets

So HEA tips run around 800 psi, should I turn down the psi on the Fine Finish tips as well? I tried out 2 on a large wainscoting project im on but it was just spitting like crazy

Thanks Chris, I'm almost done with prep on my exterior and about to spray. Your videos have helped a lot. I'm going to use 515 for the body, and a FFLP 310 for the trim

Bought a wagner 150 today.. Vehicle sprayer by trade... Looking to go into the painting and decorating trade.. Can't wait to use it lol

Merry Christmas I learned a few things is not only do it

Very informative and thank you.

TY, very helpful😄

The interior trim paint I've been looking at all say .015-.017 tips. How are you running a 310, which is a 0.010 for trim?

Thanks for the tips 😄

Have you tried the Graco LP tips?? Not the FFLP, but the newer LP series... only about a year old or so I think. I've used them with mixed results, considering the switch to HEA

would be good to also tell with what type of paint you would use those tips in the scenarios you were talking about, thanks

A lot of manufactures recommend a orifice larger than a .10. How does that work with the 310?

Do you thin down water-based paints at all when painting with the fine finish tip?

I think it's pump size depending I have a 5.7 liter free flow and placing a 6/19 I sick the bucket dry within seconds 😂😂 You might want to ad diffirent gun filters too for fine finish or exterior

I have been using a 515 tip in a Grayco X7 and I cannot get the overspray under control. When I get the pressure high enough to make a proper spay pattern (no tails), I have an awful amount of overspray. What am I doing wrong?

I notice you use Titan Products more than Graco anymore. Do you find that it’s a better quality? I have Graco Sprayers, but I suppose I could use titan butterfly and tips.

I have a question about the colors of the tips. I'm gonna by an airless "Wagner control pro 250M" and in that package I'll get tip 517 and 311. What confuses me so much is that they are both the same color (green) so does that mean that the 311 is NOT for fine finish quality? Does it have to be both a lower number and another color to be fine finish? I really hope that someone can help me with this question before buying the spray gun. (I am not a professional- more of a DIY:er).

Can the Graco FFLP310 or FFLP210 Fine Finish be used with behr enamel paint? I need to paint kitchen cabinet.

will the Titan tips fit my graco gun/rac 4 guard?

Which tip is good to finish window frames and doors?

Pretty knowledgeable. Thanks for explaining some of the differences for those who aren’t that savvy on sprayers. Cheers, dude.

I appreciate the information. I've got experience with automotive and airless painting, but the doors I'm spraying now are driving me bonkers. The paint doesn't dry as it should (I figure due to thickness of paint). I've been using the recommended airless tip in a FF format, but will try stepping down to a .010 from a .016.

Hi, can you pleaae help me: can I use Graco or wagner tips on my scheppach air gun? thanks a lot !

What tip do you recommend for spraying iron/metal gates and bars

Would you use the 310 for primer alos? and will you use the same tips if you spray laquer?

What pressure would you run a 310FF tip for a front door?

Hello boss man.. what tip can I use for painting cabinets I want to give them a real smooth look like factory paint ..

Could u use a titan gun on a graco pump , i am using a titan tip thats universal an i like it fine spray at high pressure

can these airless sprayers shoot lacquer ? I am a cabinet installer but also build some custom items and have always used a cup gun to finish them, but it is terrible when trying to spray anything large. just very very difficult to avoid lap lines or too much overspray build up ahead of me, it blows too much air no matter how I set it up and the lacquer drys way too fast. anyway I want to switch to airless but not sure about spraying lacquer base with them? I can use water base for a lot of things but in some situations I just simply have to spray it in lacquer, particularly when they want a clear glassy finish on a wood counter top or something. I bought a greco x5 ,its a small sprayer but for my use it is perfect, I would be using the 310 tip for water base paints but just wondering if I can also spray lacquer oddly enough it does not say ANYWHERE in the manual one way or the other. what do professional painters use for spraying lacquer?

Tank you very much now I know what to get

Hey what tip do i need to spray fiber Ed aluminum paint?graco x5 sprayer? Thanks!!
