Hi guys, check out my Wagner Control Pro 150 Airless Sprayer! In the (sorry it’s quite long) video I show you how to use it (sort of) and tell you what I like and don’t like about it!
Some good points I wish I knew ahead of purchase. I had an air quality meter outside of my spray room and it went red about 15mins after spraying because of the VO2 and particle matter in the air. These devices are great for speed and efficiency, but everyone should exercise caution when using.
If you swap the tip guard and tip system for a Graco RAC X tip guard, you can use Graco FFLP tips. Change the gun filter to fine which slows the flow right down as you have no pressure control on that unit. This is good for 90% of house paints. You'll find it hardly spits and all, you'll have a lot more control, and there's no overspray hardly, also saves a load of paint.
Great video, I have this model and sprayed my fence with it which was great. Second time I cleaned it out, a leak from underneath the outlet valve occurred. It’s not the hose connections at that end either, it’s definitely coming from under the hopper just under the hose. Any advice on this, has this ever happened to you?
Thanks for your video, it was great to see some of the negatives as well as the positives which is all you seem to get from the other "How to do" videos out there. (They don't have any paint on their clothes and a new unit each time I'm sure). Will have a house to paint later in the year (If it can ever get built) so will probably go down the spraying path.
Glad you liked it! I definitely have paint on my clothes when I use it and also wanted to show that everyday people make mistakes when they use it also!
I agree with you, this , sprayer is more suitable for outdoor use, such as fence as you will not notice the splatter issue. I have tried 515 tip and 311 tip, both got the same splatter and going to Bunnings to replace the product to see how is going
Awesome! Best of luck. With that much to do it would be worth checking the filter regularly. I did a whole smaller house the other day, 4 coats and the filter was wrecked at the end.
@@theweekendcraftsman486are the filters expensive to replace? Also can purchasing different tips give the unit a wide range of use? So say the other half wanted to do a wooden cabinet can you get a more controlled spray that way?
@ How well does it cover stucco.? When painting stucco, do you need to give it that?Many coats four coats in order to cover it properly?theweekendcraftsman486
VERY VERY VERY GOOD REVIEW, So We Now Do Know We Need The Small Hand Held Even Though We Have Some Outside, & Were Going To Figure Out HOW Mu ch Water We Need & Make Up 4 to 6 Extra Mixes & Just Have Them Ready, Like Empty Coffee Cans W/ Lids,& it Should Work Out Great, & Thank You
It's a great video for how to use the gun,it's limitations and it's cons(paint splatter). I think I'll just use it for the roof and fence,usually it's roll the roof but it's metal tiles so this cheap machine is worth it because I noticed the time it takes to mask up,set up and actually spray the ceiling I could have cut and rolled it in the same time or quicker but for large interior ceilings I'd give it a crack.thanks
This is the airless sprayer I was going to buy from Bunnings Hardware but I've watched a few negative videos about it and decided to pony up the extra for a Graco.
Awesome, make sure you get a smaller tip like a 310 for that sort of thing as the standard tip it comes with puts way too much paint out for book shelves (I’ve tried it).
I’m thinking about getting one of these for ceilings. I have two prograde units but do t want to use them for just doing a couple ceilings. The ease and shorter hose is attractive to me.
So when You go to use it again ok, do You have to put water in to prime it again?? Or do You just pour the paint in the hopper! & prime first & then switch to spray mode!? 😕🥺🤦🏻♂️
The first time I used mine there was so much dust in the air I only used the tip 515. I believed to also had used more paint. May I ask which tip did u use?
@@theweekendcraftsman486 Now when you consider the time it takes to mask everything off very carefully so no over-spray gets under the paper and ruins cabinets, furniture or floors. You also can usually get away with a single coat of primer and a single coat of paint with a roller and you always need at least two coats with a sprayer because you have to thin down the paint with cheap sprayers like you are using.
@@L.E.E-iiLVyo You would save a ton of time on prep and cleanup and not need to do multiple coats on a normal colored wall. People think sprayers are faster, but unless you are painting an empty house with no flooring and no trim, it's not. With a brush and roller, you need a drop cloth and your paint, brush, roller and a paint screen. Push the furniture away from the wall, put down your drop cloth and start painting. My 80 year old dad could probably still out paint anyone with a sprayer while using only a brush and roller in a home that is lived in.
I have this machine. Opened it up and saw all the gears are plastic and so is the piston. This will fail sooner or later. When it works, results are nice. Just not made to last.
