Wagner paint sprayer - review and testing control pro 150 / 130 

Thanks for the video Bill! I'm a professional painter. Honestly, I prefer rolling interior walls with a 3/4" nap wool roller and a five gallon bucket. It puts more paint on the wall and, IMO, gives a better finish. As you can see from the video, you can end up with paint lines with a sprayer. I never use a sprayer in a house to spray walls with existing flooring and furniture. The time you spend masking and covering, you could be done with a roller. Even on new construction or remodels, I prefer rolling. The 130 is great for spraying baseboard, trim and interior door/jambs. I spray them outside if they're new. I spray trim, jambs and base without wall masking and then cut/roll the main wall color. Hands down a better finish than a brush. I prefer a smaller tip like a 211. A 515 puts out A LOT of paint and you have to move fast. For the DIYer, a smaller tip is more forgiving. A sprayer also works well to spray corners instead of a brush. For the DIYer, you may not like the over spray if spraying indoors. ALWAYS strain your paint, this reduces tip clogs and reduces your frustration. All in all the 130 is a great little DIY sprayer, just be sure to understand your project and the limitations / benefits of a sprayer.

Bill, you are such a good trainer/teacher. Every question I had, you'd answer almost instantly. Thank you so much for introducing this sprayer. It''s probably my next purchase. All the best!

MATE YOU ARE A BLOODY LEGEND THANK YOU!!!! Explained it WAY better than the actual Wagner set up videos and I can't wait to get using it now!!! :) THANK YOU!!!!!

Looks great Bill, I am glad they have a cheaper and more affordable option for those that cant afford the bigger one. Great review.

Awesome thanks Bill as I was looking at buying one as this will help a lot

I saw your 350 video and I had to come check out the 150, currently looking to buy the 150 for small home projects, thanks for the video, from Chicago!

Thanks Bill, I bought one of these to paint my tin shed, from what I seen in the video, the Wagner 150 pro will do a great job I think.

Once again, another great and informative video.

Amazing results and good price for small machine giving you good finish that’s will be my Christmas gift 👍👍👍

Looking forward to seeing the cupboard spraying video - learning so much from your videos Bill, thankyou

did my whole house with this. whole house painted in an hour cant go wrong

Thank you this was a great video. Would love to see one about spraying the cupboards

Good on ya mate all your tips are very helpful. 🤙

Thanks, that actually helped more than the instructions.

Great Video Bill. Pls do the cupboard video, I did my cupboard with a brush and roller and you are 100% right. It took forever and it was a pain.

Outstanding video. Thank you

Great Video, Bill. Thank you. Love your channel.

Great video Bill, just about to buy one of these and your video has reassured me it's the way to go! Keep up the super content! 👍

Thanks for this review Bill. Very helpful as are ALL of your uploads👍

I brought this because of this video what a great buy thanks 👍

I've finally decided on the 130 for my home DIY needs. I'll be painting my entire exterior and interior, as well as all my cabinets (two bathrooms, laundry room and kitchen), as well as several pieces of furniture. It does it all and it's so easy to setup and takedown. I cannot wait to get started. We close on the house next week!! (My first home!!)

thanks for the sharing mate. Helpful

Great video Bill! I will check it out, next visit to Bunnings 👍👏

Thanks for the video, I bought one 150M.

Great video!

Thx for the information

I'm pretty impressed with the 150's performance. I used the previous generation, PaintCrew for 10 years. Happy with it but cleaning was a chore. The new lid/cover is flimsy but they did improve on the tub, paint does not stick so easier to clean. Removing the carry handle was just cheap too. The inlet & outlet valves are much simpler, easier to clean & I HOPE they will be durable. Last gen, you can renew all of that with just new o-rings. The nice thing about o-rings is they get caked up with paint you can just toss them for pennies.

Would love to see the cupboard and using another tip. I want to know if it will paint kitchen cupboards. Thanks for the video bill

Omg 😱 that saves so much time and effort

i have wagner 350r doing a mist coat over new plaster ... with 515 tip its flawless so flat and smooth

Nice

Great stuff Bill. Thankyou. What order would you spray ceilings,walls and trim ?

Here in Canada you need to use an extension power cord because the unit only comes with a really short cord.

Great video Bill. What is meant by back rolling?

Thanks for the helpful video! Have you used a finer tip with the 150, such as a 211 or 311? Wanting to know if it still works well without pressure control. Thanks

Thank you so much for this video Bill, I'm in the process of painting an entire house and was going to use the traditional method, roller and brush, but this is great! cheers, Mario

I watched your 350m one and ordered. Sadly it was a bad one. Not sure whether to get another replacement or this. Looks like you were able to do everything I need with this.

Hi Thanks for Good presentation. Question? I am planning to have my concrete basement and ceiling painted. Is it required to have an exhaust blower while painting?

Hi Bill, great video. Keen and value your thoughts on the Wagner 690 flexio and other similar range. Worth getting? Really value and appreciate iste your thoughts.

Man I just painted a condo 2 rooms living room and kitchen by hand ..i have another small project ..best believe I just bought this

I bought one, looking forward to test it. I notice you often stop spraying for a sec. Ain’t that resulting drips and so?

thanks for the video, I have a question what about over spray? thanks

Sir, superb review,thanks fo the detail review,pls let me know how it is doing right now,also let me know what is difference between pro130 and control 150m

Hey Bill, what are your go to paints for interior?

Bought 130 for outdoor facia, n soffit on a house made it maybe 1 hr ½ before it made a loud kicking noise then it stopped spraying. Took it back to where I got it and they would not refund my money, so I swapped it out for another one, same thing happened to the 2nd one. Took that one back tried to get my money refunded but the store would not so I swapped it for another one and I just put it in my closet and finished with a roller and brush.

Hi, Can this be used with Dulux Aquanamel Semi Gloss to spray doors & skirting or is the pressure to high? Thanks in advance👌

Hi Bill. Thanks for these very helpful videos. I went out and bought this unit, and I must say this is the first time I am using a spray painter. Really appreciate if you can show us how you do the preparation for spray painting since I ended up having dust (paint - dried though) in other areas of my house. I covered all doors and windows with the plastic cover comes with the tape attached ( uni pro brand, could not find any other decent brand at Bunnings).

Hey Bill, good job on the review. You mentioned that you were going to do some trim work with the 211 tip and was wondering how that went. I have bought the same tip with a Red gun filter to trim work. I want to use Dulux Aquanamel but have heard that it is not the best for spraying, have you had any experience with this product or do you recommend something else for trim work. Thanks Bud.

When painting ceiling, trim and walls do you suggest any order to do them on? I presume having some overspray from each is not a major issue?

was there much in the way of overspray in the air Bill? it looked ok in the video though.

Can you use an extension for the ceiling with that Wagner 150?

Hey Bill, how do you clean the unit mate?

Hey buddy, was there much over spray on the floors when you did the ceiling

Hi bill great video, when do we need to thin paint and any recommended method for thinning, thx

Great video Bill! How do you think I'd go with this 150 painting exterior walls of my house? Will it do the job or am I better off using the 350M for outside weatherboards?

How to do waterproofing in shower please do something on this

Bill it's been over a year since you started using this, interested to see how it's going still for you?

With pop corn ceiling airless sprayer would be better then roller?

That’s awesome. Bill do you think the zinnser 123 paint would work with this sprayer thanks.

How clean wagner after work done please

Do u have any idea can we use it oil base or poly paint thx

Did wrapping the gun really work at preserving it. Did you have to stir or anything?

Can I use this for stain applications?

Hey bill, I want to paint my house what do u reckon should I use a sprayer or do it with roller? Not sure which one will help me to get a better results

Great video. What about ventilation? Do I need an extractor to suck any fumes out?

I bought my Wagner 150 sprayer 2 years ago and it was a night mire mine kept running fo some reason, and it kept leaking paint , what I’m doing wrong , oh I even took it back and retuned it and did the same thing so it’s not the sprayer it’s me, it like new cause I cleans it alway perfectly, help

Is there no pressure control on this item? On/off and prime / in line are the only controls?

Would you recommend using this painting indoor walls? Just concerned it might have overspray on the ceilings

Whats up Bill, would you use this sprayer on a soffit and fascia, do you that it would do the job?? Cheers mate.

What’s the difference between the 130 and the 150 thanks

Love the vids bill. Youse the 130 on my ceiling… looks terrible…. Long streaks, went back over it at 90° and didn’t fix it. Any ideas?

After recently painting my whole house by hand I really wish I had made this purchase lol so much quicker. When it comes to spraying, does it need back rolling? I was always under the impression it would, and if you did it would still be insanely quicker than just straight up rolling everything. The cornice speed is what gets me, that shit was painful to do lol

👍🏻👍🏻

The woodwork framework, are you using oil base or water base paint? Thanks 👍

Help mi tip gard is leking but when í use Graco gard ore Tritech no leking only the Wagner

Do a review on the ozito now that you got both the wagners, ozito is currently on sale for 250 Also would you bother thinning out dulux 4 in 1 primer?

Could you please make a video about fixing a tile roof leak with silicone or a sealer?

works with laquer paint?

Hi Bill ,I’ve just purchased the 150m and I’m having problems with streaking (it’s not feathering). I’ve overlapped each pass and the result is terrible. I have watered the paint down by 10 % but that didn’t help. I tried again today ( thoroughly washed it yesterday) . I used the 515 spray head and the white filter….again the same result….any ideas? Or have I purchased a dud….hope to hear from you. Glenn.

Did you end up painting the cupboard?

Thinking about using this for exterior painting. Is it worth it?

I didn;t see you thin the paint. Should put 10% water?

is this have also in the philippines?

Sir,how much time I can use for a single strech

Bro have you used the 350’M on exterior masonry ? If yes which paint worked well ? Thanks 😊

If I spray like you showed my paint always runs and sags.. water based paint from dulax and I don't thin it. Tried with 150 pro and the 350 pro. Same result. I have to spray very fast and further back....

Defo be checking this great little system out on my next trip to Bunnings! Great to see a professional give an honest and wholehearted review. Thanks Bill! 👍 Would love to know how you would go about painting terracotta roof tiles? Would love to give my dull and lifeless moss covered roof a face lift but have no idea how to go about it

hai..buleh post ke malaysia wagner 150

Got a question , how to fix floor tiles that have come loose but grout has not cracked on a concrete floor? When walk on them they creak any ideas would be great. Cheers.

Seriously good video, Bill. I'm guessing you've heard the stories about spraying, versus rolling behind spraying, versus simply rolling. How about a comparison of the three, painting bits of timber, leaving them dry, then scratching them with a key or something sharp to check, the adhesion?

And I needed to least more for the hose to continue refill - I guess,,.!!

Loved all your Wagner spraying videos. Well this one has made my decision harder. I’m a firm believer in “buy cheap, pay twice”, so have been about to pull the trigger on a 350, but it’s just me doing DIY around my house. Maybe the 150 would be fine? Hmmm $450 for a 150, or $895 for a 350 (skid) from a place at Merrylands. Tough call … the cleanup on the 150 looks much more pleasant, but there are two extra tips with the 350. So hard to make the call. Also … what is with Wagner having no consistency between models numbers globally? Does my head in.

Sir what is the difference between 130 and 150

Yea great video but I was waiting to see how you clean when finished with the sprayer ???

Hi Bill how was the over spray?

Looks like a good machine but a bit to noisy👍🏼

Only $229.00 at Home Depot in California

Do you use more paint using a sprayer than using a roller?

None of these Wagner painters are professional grade. Even something like the 350M is not going to hold up to regular use, unless it's a bunch of really small jobs, like painting furniture and stuff. I was curious if Wagner ever started making pro grade sprayers and they still don't. That's how I ended up here. This is fine for a DIY type person who doesn't expect too much from it. The good sprayers are ridiculously expensive. I have a Graco that is going for about a $1000 now and it even says that it won't last for doing large jobs every week. I have had it for about 8 years and it still works great and I don't even know how many large jobs I've done with it. This type is also something that you can buy parts and rebuild it on site if needed. If you're just starting out as a professional painter and plan to use your unit on a regular basis, you're going to need to spend at least about $1,000 or keep buying new sprayers. And that's only if you're not doing really large jobs like commercial work. The Graco 390 is good for a painting contractor who is just starting out. Titan is also a good company for professional grade sprayers and I think they might even be a little cheaper than Graco. I used a large Titan brand sprayer back in the late 1990s doing large insurance restoration jobs and that thing was a beast until some Yahoo's came in after I left who didn't know how to clean it properly. That is the key to making any of these sprayers last, which is proper cleaning and storage prep.

Trust me on this don't get the 130 spend a little more and get at least the 150 or 170 I religiously thoroughly cleaned my 139 out and it lasted just 25 gallons of paint was shot leaking from the bottom
