How to Use a Paint Sprayer 

You sir, are a hero. Boss left me unsupervised after I told them that I knew (in theory) how to use a paint sprayer. This saved me from explaining a very embarrassing mess

This is the most informative, precise, and detailed, paint sprayer operation video on RU-vid. Thanks sir you are a amazing teacher..the paint sprayer manufacturers, should utilize you as a sales,and customer service info consultant.

This video is better than the manufacturer's video for the paint sprayer I bought. Thank you for this simple tutorial.

This is exactly the video I needed to see!! I only use an airless every few years & am always confused about what does what & which tube goes where!! Thank you for the detailed explanation!!!

You did a great job explaining the process of draining/priming/spraying and the reason for cycling. (rather than just micro steps)...helped a lot and not in other videos.

Outstanding job with this video. Super clear, informative and comprehensive. Thanks for taking the time to create this video and post it.

Great job. A huge help showing the images of parts that you’re referring to when instructing how to use it. A lot of guys making vids don’t do that and it can get pretty confusing

Watched this video when i had like some cheap 300 dollar paint sprayer years ago when i first started this. Its been 6 years and id just like to say thank you . this helped me so much when I first started

Hey thanks for taking all this time to put these videos together! I think I am not alone when I say we all appreciate your videos.

Thank you so very much for taking the time to make this video. Very thorough and clear instructions. Very grateful.

Thanks for the video John. As a small commercial contractor, I spend most of my time in the office. (My guys are the ones who know how to paint..) This was very helpful and I am anxious to see the rest of your videos.

great video, quick concise and right to the point. I'm sure there's a ton of ppl out there really grateful you made this video. I'm sure there's plenty of guys on jobsites right now who told their boss they know how to use paint sprayers but haven't touched one in yrs and used your video as a refresher course

hey man I really appreciate the time u took to do this video . thank you so much keep doing more videos

Paint Sprayer video tutorial has a nice pace, well organized and great demonstration. Thanks !!!!

The best most simplest explanation on how to set a paint sprayer up for painting

Excellent tutorial. Great tips and tricks. Im not sure how you could have done it better. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this video. Your explanation of setting it up, priming and testing is very complete. Seriously thank you

I paint houses for a living and as an 18 year old girl just now coming into the business I appreciate that I could watch this video and understand it. Even without knowing how to use a sprayer. Because I've only ever used a roller and a paintbrush but it's taking too long to paint houses so I needed to learn this. Many thhanks. And I'm buying your book😁

Don't leave comments much but this video was money. Keep up the good work Sir 💪🏾

Excellent video, i have airless sprayed my house before just after 15 years i forgot a lot, so i cleaned up my equipment thank god i put it away correctly, not bad cleaning it. Watched your video, I am ready to paint the interior of the house.Thanks again .

This video was short and sweet! Great video you did a really good job!

Awesome walkthrough and detail. Thanks for the tips!

Never used a sprayer like that before, thinking of buying one and your explanation of how to set it up and prime it was excellent. Thank you

Thanks. Great no nonsense video. Clear and concise and no wasted explanation.

Glad I could help. Thanks for commenting, and good luck with your paint job!

Hey man. You're the best, thanks for the video walk through!

Thank you so much for this video, it's been about 8 yrs since i used a sprayer. You rock! This info is very helpful.

Fantastic video! Clear and concise. Thanks a lot!

Thank you sir, of all the tutorials video out there yours are the most easy to understand!

You bet, Ken. Glad you found the video helpful.

Great, comprehensive line of videos to help an absolute novice (like me) to overcome my lack of knowledge. I like how you've put your videos in easy, illustrative terms. I had never ran an airless sprayer before and did not realize how many details, there are, to be aware of. From start to finish you've helped me to overcome my 'intimidation'. Thanks!

yes i did.i am in upstate ny.i am getting ready to paint my home and when i saw your video explaining paint sprayers i thought hey let me find out about this,beats hand brushing,lol. your videos are a excellent tool.i learned so much,just wanted to thank you.make more !!! looking forward to learning more.ken

Never used a sprayer before, so thank you for the tip. Was great information

Great video!!! Using this to teach my guys how to spray properly.

thank you so much for this video i just bought one and this was the perfect video again thank you so i much i really appreciate it.

Great video John, appreciate you sharing the info.

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar!

Great vids !. Helps me refresh anything I forgot and Teaches me things I should know that I might not have ! Gj man

I came upon this video by accident. I cannot comment on its accuracy, but I will say it was very well done! I am not easily impressed with instructional material of any sort. Experts seem to skip steps, probably due to their experience. You really took us through this step by step. I feel I can actually follow this, if need be, without feeling frustration from a confusing or incomplete instruction. Whatever you're doing, keep doing it. Good job!

Great question. You probably have one of Graco's Tradeworks line, which they describe as being for homeowners, handymen, and others who won't be spraying day-in day-out. Those sprayers are designed to not require throat seal. Other companies might also make homeowner lines that don't require throat seal, but as far as I'm aware, all professional-grade sprayers still require throat seal. (I double-checked with the paint store.) Thanks for asking and helping to clear this up. Enjoy that sprayer!

Thank you! Absolute beginner here and I’ve never used a sprayer before. Trying to get the kitchen cabinets painted while my husband is out of town and brush and roller are too slow. Hoping for the best tomorrow. It is Valspar cabinet paint, I guess it is an oil hybrid.

Thank you. You are very good at communicating. I will learn from you.

Great Video! I bought a used sprayer and didn't have much luck with my first attempt. After you video I have a much better handle on it.

Thank you for the video, best video I have seen for a first timer like me! It’s a big investment and I want to be sure it last. Great video!!

It's my go to in my periodical paint career!

i am a professional painter and your videos are great for the beginner ive watched a bunch great video

Awesome.. it’s been a few years since I used a sprayer..using a sprayer tomorrow on loan I feel much more confident 👊

I understood everything you just taught me as a man could understand. Thank you for this video!

Enjoyed this video as I start to learn how to use a paint sprayer - much appreciated! - DIYNate

Great Video, just brought a Titan sprayer and watching this was a lot easier to understand that reading the user manual,

Marry Christmas and happy new year!

I'm using a sprayer for the first time tomorrow so here I am. Thanks for the info.

man tour video helped me alot. thanks the way u explained it is the perfect and easy to understand thanks man.

Much better than the last video on this! Thank you!

Thank you for the sprayer prep video! I needed that! I didn't see a video about paint spraying technique though. Please show us how to paint after all the setup.

Even though it has been a long time since this video was posted, it is still very useful, these indications.

Thanks for the excellent video it was very informative and well done.

Well I watched it about 5 hours ago and just now got done spraying an entire shed. I think the video worked.

It is a Titan sprayer I've had for many years. Still works great because I treat it well. The basic components--suction tube, return (prime) tube, pressure knob, gun and tip, etc., are pretty much the same on all sprayers, although they sometimes look different on newer ones. I've used plenty of Graco sprayers over the years and they work great too. Thanks for writing!

O:37 How you add throat ceil to the sprayer

This helped me a lot, thanks mate!

Well done we are going to rent a sprayer, and this was very helpful

thank you very much!!! I looked and looked for a good video as I am trying this tomorrow. lol

Thank you very much, simple instructions, but, very helpful. God bless you

Great video!!! Really helpful, thank you.

Thanks for uploading a great video. Awesome. Thanks for your time .

Very informative video, thanks!

Nice video, direct and informative appreciate it

Beautifully explained

Thanks for the video john great information

That's lot of paint! You're right that a 3-foot wand can reduce the work by quite a bit when spraying massive square footage. For interior residential spraying, an 18-inch tip extension can also be very handy when dealing with 9-foot ceilings and vaulted ceilings, etc., so you don't have to drag a step ladder along. Thanks for commenting.

Great video! Thanks. Sharing with a friend.

AWESOME! You just saved me $700.00 I was going to pay just for labor to prime my basement before the "professional" comes in to trim and do all the texture stuff. Thanks again!

Great video! Thanks.

Thank you for the video, you mentioned during the day you need to add couple of drops of throat seal? so the machine won't run dry...i did not understand what this is and where you add it. thank you

As a recent engineering grad, THANK YOU. I recently purchased my first home, and the ceilings are so tall that I thought I'd definitely have to call professionals in to do the job. Do you have any opinions on renting a paint sprayer from somewhere like Home Depot? Thanks again!

I like your video you're professional painter
