Airless Spraying Tip Guards! Spraying with The Idaho Painter. 

40 years ago in Chicago, I had a gig lining the Astroturf for Bears football games, and Chicago Sting soccer matches at Soldier Field. I used an old Graco 333 airless, and a Titan adjustable tip, which I rarely see today. While they burned out rather quickly, the ability to adjust the fan when switching from yardline markers, to numbers, to logos, and then over to the 6' border without having to change tips made life easy. The Park District, (which ran the stadium) bought cheap exterior latex that we strained and juiced down a bit for the application in order to avoid heavy build-up. When it got below freezing during the '85 playoffs, we had to switch to lacquer in order to keep the paint moving through that 200 feet of hose. I was lucky if I was able to run 15 gallons of paint through that tip before it was shooting fingers in every direction, but I always had a bunch of new ones on hand. The ability to dial that tip down and get a tight 3 or four inch fan was a life saver, and it also allowed me to freehand some of the more intricate curves without overspray.

I am a novice painter I being learning a lot Thanks to your videos Recently I bought a Graco pro x17 My expectación are Dominate the tecniche and make Good Jobs that permit me keep prety my house Thank to you

Awesome videos! I’ve got a big job coming up house has paneling through out the house . Ceiling stains from smokers over the years. Tips for spraying paneling? Time for cleaning wall roughing them up and everything gets oil based

So Chris just started to watch you should have done it before I bought a project painter plus saved $67.00.Question is that it only goes to 2800 psi I got it to paint my whole house will 200 psi make a difference in the finish look?

Hello I enjoy and have learned a bunch from your Paint Life videos, also have been very happy with what you carry and sell on you Paint Live Supply Co. I notice that you have a spray enclosure behind you. I am wondering what kind it is, how well it works, what sizes there are. I do a lot of spraying in my garage and though I cant afford a spray booth It would be nice to have a dedicated somewhat enclosed spray type booth area. Any help would be great.

You. Make great videos 👍

Great content and explains a lot !!

How do you keep your guns so clean?!

What do you use before painting to seal cracks on stucco?

What guard does a two-in-one tip use?

hi mate do you know any thing about wagner machines?

I have been watching you for awhile now and I’m finally ready to paint my house but I need to know the best paint not worrying about price that covers well.. I’m thinking behr that place you don’t like that sells it.. but what’s your all time favorite paint.. Wagner sprayer not rolling..

I’m a 5’2 female...totally novice but really excited to learn, and I just bought an airless graco project painter to help me tackle my home improvement paint projects. I struggle with how great the spray looks until I get to my head level and then it looks so blotchy above my head. Any tips on how I can get a more consistent paint through to the ceiling? Thanks! Love your videos. I’m learning so much!

I have graco orange guard and my tip keeps screwing up. It will start to spray then spit and stop. Won't even let me twist tip to clear, it gets stuck. I have to unscrew whole guard, clean and put back together. Spent all day trying to correct, even took whole gun apart and cleaned. Wish there was a video on spraying problems and solutions. I have a graco pro x9

HELP!!! I don't see Fine Finish tips or guards. Am I missing something? I think that I need a 310 Fine Finifg to spray trim and some metal floor/wall registers in a 1947 built house (I think the registers dated to a very early update.) I have a Grayco X7.

Hey Chris! Does Bedford make fine finish tips?

Can you use hvlp paint spray ? For door and windows trim and baseboard ? And door iff yes what is the difference airles vs hvlp what is better (quality time ) etc and what gun you recomand for paint door trim windows trim , baseboard , and door 4-6 panel

Hello, good morning, very interesting that you recommend to stop using GRACO's blue guard because it is not compatible with other tips, this must be hard for the company because the RAC X guard line and tips are one of its flagship products. Best regards from Baja, México.

I prefer titan guards but I seem to have gotten a bunch Graco guards over the years

Beg to differ love using the graco racx guards.Love their fine finish and their 417 blue tips for quick knockout of apt units.Keep up the good work
