@kimhough7753 Год назад

You’ve persuaded me to look into buying a sprayer. Thanks Christina! 🥰🥰🥰

@ourhoustonsmithhome Год назад

Loved the video & thanks so much for answering my question! 🥰 You are right…it’s definitely worth using a little more paint!

@melanieeaton3344 Год назад

Love the video! You are convincing me to finally break down and buy a sprayer. Thank you so much!

@Wagner-Spraytech Год назад

There are so many benefits to using the sprayer! Thank you for sharing this side by side comparison!

@carolvalentine2407 Год назад

Good information from someone I remember in earlier videos who loved to paint with a brush. Sometimes we just have to give those new ways some time to recognize the benefits.

@ReinventedDelaware Год назад

Thanks for the review and advice!

@diysbydar Год назад

Awesome comparison for us. I will usually spray, for all the reasons you stated. I luv the finish much better as well. Thanks for sharing with us.

@ldominguez0211 Год назад

Great video, Christina!! I have an older Wagner sprayer. I decided to get in some practice by spraying our interior doors black. It’s less detailed than furniture (my ultimate goal), but upped my comfort level so much. And I used your tips-adding a little water, practicing on cardboard, using paint strainers. Everyone loves the new look. I have the tent, but didn’t use it for doors. Need to work on my set up skills 😂😂. Thanks for the encouragement!

@terrij3978 Год назад

@JanLong9998 Год назад

Hi, also, bought a Flexio sprayer because of you. Your videos and your encouraging commentary as you use the sprayer gave ME the courage to try something I’ve wanted to for a long time.

@OurHappyNutHouse Год назад

This is really helpful! I'm in the process of painting all my random living room furniture a very similar mustard yellow, I love it! I did 2 pieces with a brush and haven't done a clear coat yet. I have 2 more pieces and just bought a compressor and am trying to figure out which sprayer to purchase. Do you finish your painted pieces with a clear coat to protect the paint?

@chiro98 Год назад

Very helpful..ty

@amyseidlinger5120 Год назад

I am new to spraying and I would love to get a guide that tells me your recommended material flow level and air power level on the flexio 3500 with all your fave pains like Dixie belle, fusion, melange, Annie Sloan, etc etc. I sprayed a piece yesterday and played around w the levels w Dixie belle chalk paint and really struggled to get it right. I ended up with a first coat that wasn’t horrible but wasn’t anywhere near decent consistent coverage 😂😂

@lisamethot5586 Год назад

I love the color and those knobs. I bought myself a sprayer over a year ago and I’m still too nervous to try it!

@dchall8 Год назад

As she said in the video, fill it with water and paint some cardboard. Paint the fence. Paint the trees. Paint the bathroom. Practice practice practice.

@restyledpiecesboutique Год назад

I almost NEVER brush anymore! I ADORE my Wagner Flexio 3500 AND my Home Right Finsh Max Super. I have to say my Wagner is my favorite! So easy to use. I love the two settings AND I just can't even EVER go back to the brush strokes. I love the finish! Thanks for doing this comparison! I think it will really help people see the differences. Great video! :)

@Wagner-Spraytech Год назад

You just made our day!

@restyledpiecesboutique Год назад

@@Wagner-Spraytech I have the 3500 and it’s all true! Thank you!

@dchall8 Год назад

@@Wagner-Spraytech I agree with Restyled. I think Wagner hit the sweet spot between usability, low maintenance, and most importantly, economy. By economy I'm not talking about the relatively low price for the sprayer, I'm talking about not wasting a full gallon of expensive paint filling the paint tubing on the fancy airless sprayers. I've already saved the price of the sprayer simply by not using airless. The 3500 is one of those tools I wish I had 50 years ago (which is loooong before they invented it, but still). Last summer I volunteered to paint my daughter's furniture if she would do the prep work. After watching me spray for 5 minutes, she grabbed the sprayer and took over for all the rest of the furniture. Made me proud.

@lida1149 Год назад

Hi Cristina, love, love, love your channel, your makeovers are so inspiring. My question is, what do you do with the sprayer in between coats, do you have to clean it and reload it or is it ok sit aside for a bit while the first coat dries? Thank you. ❤

@ChristinaMuscari Год назад

If I'm only waiting 1-2 hours in between coats. I leave the paint in. If it has to set over night or I won't be able to get to that second coat in that time, I'll clean the nozzle and put a lid on the canister for when I come back to it.

@ginaadam3983 3 месяца назад

Do you have any videos on spray, painting, patio chairs that have mesh on seats ?

@rhondatoben7057 Год назад

thank you great information

@ChristinaMuscari Год назад

@janetbof4 Год назад

Do you think I could use this same sprayer on ceiling & walls? I’m assuming it connects to an extension cord? I’m worried about using upside down so to speak for ceiling and clogging it or worse dumps paint on my head :) Thanks & Happy Holidays!

@t.n.1953 Год назад

Christina, thank you for your review! Your site is super helpful in comparing the pros and cons between the Wagner and Graco sprayers (an earlier video). The Wagner website isn't super helpful. A feature/specification chart on their website would be super helpful, instead of just saying "lightweight" and "10% lighter" (than what??). There are virtually no technical specs (weight, cord length, warranty, what's in the box, etc.) on their site. Weight is important to those who experience elbow/wrist strain from repetitive motion. I appreciated your comments about the pros/cons between corded (Wagner) and cordless with battery (Graco) sprayers. Do you have any information on the weight of the Wagner sprayer? Thanks! I just discovered that there is a Flexio model 4300/4000 that leaves the turbine on the ground...could be a good solution but I'd still (Wagner) like to know the weight of the hand-help parts of this model.

@amandaweinraub2662 Год назад

The sprayer looks so good. I have this sprayer and am getting more practice using it. It goes so much after.

@paulanapper5692 10 месяцев назад

What sprayer would you recommend for a hobby flipper. The one use use?

@JanLong9998 Год назад

I have two questions: first, I just purchased a flexio 4000, what are the differences between the 3500 and 4000? My second question is what kind of mask do you wear while you’re spraying? I love to watch your videos you make it all seem so doable.

@Wagner-Spraytech Год назад

They are extremely similar and offer all the same functionality, but the FLEXiO 3500 is handheld and the FLEXiO 4000 has a stationary base. This makes the FLEXiO 3500 more mobile, but also all the weight of the turbine is in your hand.

@jamesmuscari27 Год назад

Hi Christina, it’s your person from up north with the same last name not related I checked with your husband… lol was at an all Muscari function up here in New York showed everybody your videos they will put you in their favorites. Did you great work?

@professionalpolishman589 Год назад

Nice ❤

@Chels1990j Год назад

do you live somewhere that never gets cold? i so want to start spraying but i don’t have the means to heat my garage so it would be summer only.

@kaycox5555 Год назад

@marthaelliott8722 Год назад

You have convinced me to switch to a sprayer! I flip furniture and it takes me sooooo long to finishes pieces. My only question is... Do you find you have to wipe the nozzle tip periodically while spraying due to avoid dried bits of paint ending up on your finish? The online reviews of this product mention this. Thanks.

@dchall8 Год назад

Great question. I've used the 3500 since it came out (was it last spring, 2022???). I've used both the big boy sprayer and the fine furniture sprayer. With the big boy sprayer you have to have a paper towel with you at all times to wipe the nozzle. With the furniture sprayer, not so much. I have the paper towel handy out of habit, but I really don't need it. I'm almost thinking the design of the bigger one has a flaw in the flat nozzle opening that allows the paint to collect and clog. Also you don't get dried bits of paint on the project. What seems to happen is the dried paint forms a flappy nozzle which changes the quality of the spray from a mist to sort of a clotty mist. But painting with the smaller one is much more fun/satisfying.

@anacukrov4381 Год назад

I know I am little late and not sure are you even going to see my comment, but I need to ask, I saw you were filling some warm holes, did you protect the piece first to 'kill the warm' and then fill the holes or? Thank you so much

@American_Devil Год назад

Do you not recommend a primer before painting?

@jolindarather5180 Год назад

Have you ever painted chairs with the sprayer? I have a couple of vintage cane chairs I hand painted was wondering about using the sprayer.

@Pinesol605 8 месяцев назад

I have honestly spraying the way to go. I do have some drip marks on one of the chairs. I plan on re sanding them, using a medium spray tent and prepping properly. Sorry for my rant but yes spraying in the way to go.

@sarahmay3852 Год назад

Can you tell me why you don't paint the inside of drawers? Is it an aesthetic, or will the paint not hold up?

@jafallica Год назад

What sander are you using and what is the cup attached to it? I’d love to have this sander.

@ChristinaMuscari Год назад

It's a Ryobi cordless orbital sander. It's linked in the video description. It has a little vacuum bag that catches some of the dust.

@Nonnie1227 Год назад

Not sprayer related, but how do you clean your painted furniture? Do you use any products or just dry dust?

@ChristinaMuscari Год назад

Mostly just dry dust.

@KarenSmith-bc7nd Год назад

How heavy is it. I’m not very strong 😊

@iant8701 Год назад

@leew878 Год назад

I purchased this sprayer when I decided to paint all my interior doors. I was a little nervous but felt I had the basics of it after watching several videos. I have noticed when you paint, the air around you, even in you pop up tent, never gets hazy. When I painted, the amount of cloudiness in the room(garage) was rather heavy. Is this normal or do I have my settings wrong that may be causing this? This even happens with my garage door open. Is there a haze, I assume this is just overspray, in your work space that we don’t see on camera? I’ve seen people use this inside their house and I just ask, HOW?!!

@Wagner-Spraytech Год назад

What paint are you spraying? You might need to turn down your air flow and material flow control to reduce the overspray.

@leew878 Год назад

@@Wagner-Spraytech I was using an enamel trim paint from Sherwin Williams. I did lower the air flow and adjusted the material flow and I got horrible over spray splatters. Is there a recommended paint type or brand to use?

@Wagner-Spraytech Год назад

@@leew878 Did you also thin the paint by at least 10%? That will help it run more smoothly. Sherwin Williams should work great! We also recommend other popular brands like Behr. Would you like to give us a call and we can troubleshoot over the phone? Give us a call at 1-800-328-8251 to chat

@dchall8 Год назад

If you are reselling furniture, get a sprayer. Time is money. What she said in the video was that spraying was about 7 times faster than brushing. That has been my experience with the same sprayer. We sprayed all my daughter's furniture in one day. That included 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of finish color. No way I/we could have done that with brushes and/or rollers.

@rubychew6535 Год назад

Yellow is my favorite color. You could use polyurethane after the paint dries. Putting this in a little girl's room would be great. Also, have you ever thought of gearing your pieces towards children? You could do a lot, such as, polka dots, stripes, etc.
