My First Time Using The Graco Airless Paint Sprayer Outside My House | DIY For Beginners! 

Awesome video man, that was the best presentation of the airless sprayer I have come across on RU-vid...wow that was explained perfectly bro. Thank you!

3 pieces of advice from a 30+ year pro... Wand extension, and back roll the finish. And its better to put 2 coats than to try to force one heavy coat to cover.

I sprayed a rental property from top to bottom with this same sprayer. It worked good but inside tight areas like closets were tough. I had several areas than ran (I wonder if back rolling would have solved that problem) understanding when pressure should be high vs low was huge, keeping your wrist straight for 1800 sq ft of painting was HARD, and keeping your speed consistent when the trigger is pulled wasn’t easy but overall it came out decent (had to do a second coat the next day due to missing my 50% overlap in a few areas and not back rolling. This is a good starter video!!! Thanks

Just got one and can’t wait to use it !! Paint your door black!! It would be so elegant with the gold on the bottom

Thank you, thank you this is very helpful. I previously had an older Craftsman unit that weighed a ‘ton’. Painted my house with it, but very difficult to move around and priming was a problem, because the fitment of the plumbing was loosening up all the time. This Grace unit looks like a much easier unit to work with.

EXCELLENT VIDEO I have been "Flipping" Houses for 50 Years (I am 69 years old) I have painted Stucco Houses here in New Mexico (US) a few times... but I don't know if it is my AGE or the fact this Stucco House I'm Painting has really THICK Stucco and it is Eating up my Rollers... and their expensive... So NOW... after all these years... I feel the need for speed... I mean a Paint Sprayer... I deserve it... LOL Thank YOU so much for for sharing this great video

Thanks for not over complicating it. Thinking of finally buying one now.

I tell ya....I have to agree with previous comments. I've watched ALL the other vids with respect towards this product and you captured it PROFESSIONALLY. Hands down partner! Even your p.o.v. moves and guiding our eyes were spot on. Thank you. You tore it up perfectly 👌

Thanks for this demo FTH. I'm a lime putty plasterer who uses an electric sprayer to apply lime paint (lime wash) for all my internal and external paint jobs because not only do so when shopping in my local Lidl supermarket, near the fish and dairy in their tool section there was a Parkside airless spraying system for £120 ( $162.59) and had to have it. I've commented on many RU-vid films, to ask if it's OK for lime wash but nobody's responded back, your film is the first that's even mentioned water based paints, I like spraying, it gets to parts other beers cannot reach and is so much better than painting because you leave no brush marks or bristles and with care and consistency you cover the surface evenly and better and faster. For internal coloured paint jobs I'll used a water based emulsion, the cheaper the better, and never use any pig fat in the final coat, there's no point because you want a breathable paint and any fat will make it non-porous. I also noticed that you just spayed it once, and after spending so long taping and masking area's, why not add at least 2 more, it would look even better and when you asked what people thought, I think you need 2 more and you should have filled/caulked along the wall top at 7:31. The rest of your house looks fine and there is no better feeling than coming home to your loved one and watching a good box-set in front of a log fire on a cold winters night in your own domain. At the 800 year old Torre Abbey in Devon I worked on doing the lime putty, rough-cast finish as part of a £32 million project in about 2006 I just did the plastering, inside and out and some other contractors did the painting but inside one of the courtyards you could see the 200 year old (or older) lime paint and I counted 4 to 5 layers, this is because the old lime paint had a thickener like casein added to it up whereas with normal lime wash, if painted on too thickly it will later crack and peel off. Been working with lime since about 2001 and worked on many old castles, churches and stately homes, seen many strange things but never a ghost (that's another story) and lots of old bodge jobs by the ancients as werll as some of the most amazing things like embossed leather wallpaper. I only work with putty mortars and plasters, no hydraulic, hydrated or cement and make my own mixes after slaking the quicklime, it's such a versatile material and helps to better protect your background walls and surfaces, acting as the sacrificial coat for the main surface as well as absorbing moisture like our breath and CO2. Another bonus is that you get better acoustics in the finished room. Lastly with all the waste water and sludge I keep it and use it to make more mortar or paint for the next job because lime putty will keep for hundreds of years and the older it becomes, the stickier and better it gets. Live long and prosper, all the best from a hillside in England.

I have a airless paint sprayer I bought years ago. By watching you get your sprayer to run, will guide me to get mine working again, as I have to paint fresh wood on my 24 Ft. by 24 Ft garage.

"Theres nothing more satisfying than taking everything off..and revealing the beauty". 🤣😉👍🏼

as a pro painter, I would have back-rolled the sprayed on paint for a more even drip and sag free finish but nonetheless, a great vid for beginners. Good job FTH!

I’ve never used a home paint sprayer before. I borrowed one of these from a friend and had great results and was easy to use. I do feel like it wasted quite a bit of paint vs rolling but the painted was way faster. Clean up was a little messy and slow but otherwise everything went well. No issues with runs or anything. I was impressed and may buy myself one in the future.

72 in Colorado today! Painting House with Gnarly Airless Excellent Advice for today my friend Thanks 😊

Respect 👍 Proper job, boss man, and really appreciate how you deal with the tape work, and cleanup. Real professional.

Thank you! I love real life videos. The wind added more real life! Thanks!

Thank you. My first video, she was going over the instructions..I can do that, the next guy talked for 10 minutes, the other guy painted and gave a tip, but no set up..this is what I was looking for.

Thanks, I have this sprayer and haven't used it yet, but watching your video, it seems that most of what you have to do right is, prep work.

Thanks buddy, I just bought a new Graco GX19 this week too, similar to your model, haven’t started yet, but your video has helped, thank you!

Mine has been sitting new in the box in my garage. You got me amped to get to get it going and finally doing my house as well.

You did a great job and saved a lot of time rolling and cutting with a brush!

Great video! Thanks for posting this! I'm buying one this evening and I can't wait to use it.

I just bought one and it will be arriving tomorrow. Extremely helpful and informative video. The house looks great!!

Good vid. I just sprayed on clear seal coat on half my fence with the same model right before I watched the video. It is pretty much this simple. The most difficult part of the process is the clean up, but even that isn't difficult at all. Using mineral spirits with oil based products would be a bit more difficult just because of proper disposal, but the process start to finish is pretty simple.

thankyou! I have an upcoming job interview and they use these sprayers. feeling alot more comfortable going in and doing this test!

I just bought this same sprayer a couple weeks ago I painted my whole interior of the house after masking of course and paint color changing for different rooms in 2 hours 30 min its sooooo fast I recommend it highly if you have alot to paint !!!

Great and very helpful video for a novice like myself! Thank you! I already purchased this sprayer months ago, and found your video when searching for how-to videos for this model.

Thank you very much for getting back to me! Much appreciated!

Thanks for the video man! About to start a paint project with this thing and your video has been invaluable!

it takes more of the preping than the painting, nice vid thanks mate.

You did an excellent job (better than most) showing how to use this sprayer. The cleaning of the sprayer after the painting was skimmed over, and not done in great detail. I will still have to watch other videos to fill confident enough to use the sprayer.

You did a great job painting your house. I'm sold on getting a graco paint sprayer.

I also bought a hardwood dolly and I’m going to build a stand for the sprayer unit and a 5 gallon bucket so I can pull it along as I spray large rooms. Dolly is 18x30 inches and I figured I make it so I can place a one gallon bucket of paint or 5 gallons on the cart to provide stability and I’ll have storage under the spray unit for hoses and supplies.

Great Video, I'm considering this very sprayer and doing my exterior walls, one per day for the next week. This makes it look very easy Thanks

Wonderful video! You have motivated me to paint my own home saving lots of $$. Thank you!

Storm door dating the house and detracting from how nice those windows look!

Good review and demo. I've been considering purchasing a Graco. This video helps.

You sold me on it. Your direction was easy to follow. Salamat!

Yes I have the exact same machine. And I got mines just last year during the summer afterwards I painted my whole entire house. I too was tired of using brushes I wanted to experience it with a sprayer the outcome was excellent. Not to mention I'm going forward to spray my outside of my house this coming summer. Yes it does drip a little bit and I realized and like anything else you have to get the hang of it but always good to have a Roller and a brush handy just in case. It's definitely a great investment to have. And not for laziness. But for shear time cutting. GREAT JOB!

Great video! I bought one to stain my fence which I’ll be doing in a few days. I would have liked to seen it being used for an oil based stain (the clean up to be specific) but most videos I’ve found deal with water based paints. Great job!

Great instruction...love how it looks...u did a great tape job on those windows for sure

Good work man thanks for the video. I just bought one yesterday I can’t wait to start painting the house.

Thanks for the vid..just bought one to paint my house and barn.

Oh hell yeah. I been looking for a good one for my future house project. Thank you!

You mentioned the Wagner products, I have used them as well. My problem was blowing through a cup of paint every 90 seconds and the pain of stopping and filling often. I’m looking forward to firing this puppy up.

This was very helpful. I just bought this sprayer. You are appreciated my friend.

Top job man, best of luck from Ireland 🇮🇪

You are good at what you are doing! Ang Galing! Good Luck in your painting business!

Awesome job. After watching this video I just ordered one. Thanks man stay safe

Thank you for sharing. It really turned out beautifully! I’m not scared to tackle this now!

This is a time saving machine, 👍🏽.

You're the best teacher! Thank you so much///

I'm about to invest in one this weekend. Thanks for the tips. Great vid

Well it looked super easy looked amazing the final good job.

Thank for making this awesome video. Now time to learn about preparing.

Thanks for doing this, just bought a sprayer for my aluminum siding :)

I would also place the product and sprayer on a tarp….and I always strain the paint….excellent video but back rolling definitely will save time and produce an even coat..and I keep a spray shield handy…..👍🏼

Nice job your windows look more lifely.

when u come to the top and bottom when u let go of the trigger i flick my wrist up to feather it so it doesnt make a stop mark. but for my first coat i always back roll it in with a roller then before it drys put a quick coat over it and that gives the best end results for durability coverage and look on exteriors. Looks good though man great job

Nice work for a first timer

Looks great! Seems totally worth it to me

I’m convinced Bro. Imma get out for my house projects 😎

Looks amazing! Thank you for this video! Buying one for our new house! =)

Thanks! This was very helpful 👍

Thank you! I will be buying this one now

Looks good, great job!

Definitely getting one of these the time it will save me...especially after masking up..

Looks great! Thanks!!!

House looks great!!!

Thanks for sharing ! Great job.

Very informative. Thanks!

Great video.. Thanks for sharing. I have seen professionals avoid the tape and plastic by using a 1‘ x 3‘ shield.

Outstanding video. You make it look too easy

Thank you for that information brother because I'm getting ready to spray the entire house. I found your information very useful and may God bless you always:-)

That’s a good little machine ❤

I like how your house looks after

Thank you Sir for sharing this with us I appreciate you 👍

Good Job Man! I bought one of these used but it's in perfect shape. I'm afraid to use it because I have a 5 gallon can of paint and I'm afraid I won't use it all the same day and I don't want it to go to waste. The guy I bought it from also told me that there is an internal filter that needs to be cleaned as well.

Best video so far

Nice demonstration and review! Does it use more paint than rolling or brushing? Do you need a second coat of paint? Thanks!

Cool, I really liked your video. I’ll be purchasing one and doing my home! 👍🏽

Excellent for us beginners, great video.😄

Man a look like a whole brand-new house congrats looks nice

Great work. I keep holding off on using my sprayer due to the mess I made the first time I used it You made this look effortless!

Good job, thank you sir!

Awesome video and so friggin satisfying too!!

These machines are Gold. Just really gotta regurgitate it thoroughly after using. Takes about 15 to 20 mins and 2 buckets of water

Thx

Nice time efficient that’s was quick 💯.

Nice job both the paint job and the tutorial!

Nice job 👍 I just ordered the gun. Started painting my house with a roller and gave up in 5 mins. Cannot wait to use the gun
