They definitely do work! We’ve just sprayed a lot more with our contractor FFLP tips and are very familiar with how they atomise, so we swapped one in for the ease of the job 😊
Ive watched 10 videos trying to find out if the pump constantly kicking on and off was a bad thing and everyone had music covering the noise when they demonstrated the sprayer. Thanks for saving me from stressing over it!
About how much does it cost for all that paper and tape? Seems like you go through crap ton of it for what turns out to be a few minutes of painting lol. Do you buy like 500 rolls at a time to lower the cost? I also read that you should start/stop the gun on each transition and not run the pump continuously, couldn't tell but it looked like you were just run it non stop. Have you had any issues doing that?
One roll of paper and one roll of tape was used for this garage door. The Kraft Paper is recyclable. This is a necessary part of the spraying process to achieve the best finish possible, is quick to do, and requires minimal consumables. Under $30.00 was spent on masking consumables to finish this job! So for the time saved spraying, and finish quality achieved - and yes it took a few minutes to paint due to how efficient airless spraying is, really makes all the difference! Give it a try and let us know what you think 😊
@@GOIndustrial Right on. I ordered the Graco ProLTS 17. Liked that you can swap the pump out easily if need be. Cost less than the X7 at the big box store too! So you put down the tape/paper stuff all over first, then put down drop clothes.. in particular if you were painting a room inside, I'd assume you would either use those cheap drop cloths (brown ones) or plastic all over the floor (and I Guess to cover any furniture you cant move out of a given room)? Where (or what) did you get the roller/tape/paper stuff from? I see a bunch of options on amazon, not sure if those are good. Like 12 rolls of 50 feet for $32 or so?
Spraying horizontally will provide overall less overlapping of your spray pattern, which will blend it a lot better. Especially for a 'timber look' pattern, we always go with the grain, and not against!
The quality and condition of your surface or substrate is so, so important - we can't stress this enough. If you want your coating to last for years on end, we definitely recommend taking the time to sand any imperfections, and apply a fresh primer coat over a bare or prepainted substrate. It will make all the difference, as spraying doesn't hide any imperfections on the surface! I hope this helps.
For the correct film-build of paint to uphold the manufacturer's recommendation and guide (in this case being Dulux), we definitely recommend spraying two coats. Particularly for the intense sun here in Queensland, Australia - we'd definitely take the precaution and do the job properly!
We’ll have this video up soon as a separate guide - I’ll leave the link here when it’s done! Unfortunately it was a huge day and the camera wasn’t rolling when we cleaned that section up 😂🙌🏼
