Wagner Flexio 590 Paint Sprayer demo, tips, review

This is a follow up video that better shows how to use the Wagner Flexio 590 Paint Sprayer. I have another video reviewing it. Check out my YouTube channel for more DIY videos. I have every step of fully renovating this condo. Enjoy!

Okay let me help everyone out:
1. When you get your gun, make sure that all of your pieces fit securely and if there is a packing(o-ring) required anywhere, make sue it is in and not pinched.
2. Make sure that you thin the paint that you are using in a separate container and make sure that it is mixed very well.
3. Before putting the THINNED paint into the sprayer, use a strainer to keep any clumps from getting into your feed line and clogging it or making the spray inconsistent.
4. Know your settings, adjust the flow/air power/pattern before you start spraying on target.
5. You are better off spraying 3-4 thin coats for a nice smooth finish rather than just swamping it on there.
6. Establish a nice smooth spray pattern that overlaps about 50% and don't stop while the trigger is pulled.
7. CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN your gun when finished and wipe your nozzle every couple of minutes.
Note: for thinning, use the appropriate thinner... if it is a water based paint, thin it with water. Hope this helps.
I use to paint helicopters for a living and have dabbled with quite a few HVLP guns and even though this is nothing like it, the same concept applies.

Yo tengo una maquina mas pequeña de esa marca y ha sido la mejor compra, no queda uno cansado de pintar. Al principio dejaba la pintura muy espesa pero después le agarré el toque y listo.

Those of you who write that this gun is garbage, I will tell you that it is not garbage, but you do not know how to work with it, and it is still active today and sells well.

I watched both videos, thanks.  Question, each video I see you spraying the wall and the ceiling at the same time.  I usually do ceiling first then the walls.  If I do the ceiling first then after it dries, use blue tape around the edge of the ceiling then use the Flexio 590 to spray the walls, how likely is overspray to hit the ceiling?  Also, do you use the 590 sprayer on the ceilings?  I saw your hat recommendation, learned that one after rolling a ceiling.

I'm looking to spray epoxy primer in a tub, would this gun be good for epoxy you think?

[hispfemale]

I have the same sprayer. I'm using Benjamin Moore advantage satin latex paint thinned with floetrol. I'm painting cabinets that have a BM advantage primer on them. Why are there tiny bubbles coming out onto my cabinets as I spray?? It's a pain to sand them down in between coats.

Did you consider the more expensive Wagner XVLP 3500 seems to used by decorators

[martinspilovsky]

Hi can I ask what combination of settings material + air did you used. thank you

[every-dayjoe]

I had a Graco and now I'm try the flexio 590. I'm getting bumps when I spray and that was out of the gate with ever thing clean. I'm not sure what the issue is do yo have any insight?

[eventde]

Hi Mark. I tried using this last night to paint some new baseboard and trim I purchased. It left a bumpy look when I sprayed the baseboard. It was latex paint. The instructions said not to thin the paint. This was my first use so it couldn't be due to not cleaning the sprayer. Do you have any suggestions to give it a smoother finish?

[walterdavis]

Will I be able to use this spray for exterior painting

[AmandaVanderwal]

I just bought this sprayer, and I'm using a waterborne alkyd to paint a cabinet. I practiced quite a bit to get the hang of it, but no matter what I did to adjust the settings, it would splatter quite a bit... what am I doing wrong?! 

[JosephBlakely]

How do you prep your paint do you have to thin it at all prior to going into the sprayer???

[MBZS]

You don't get any leaks from the tip like other reviewers?

[terencesmith]

How long does it take to empty the paint container ?

[duartepaintinghandymanservices]

you should think about purchasing a real airless when doing big areas such as walls, those guns are good for small items such as baseboard, doors and cabinets

[asxfdar]

When I use the gun, why does it spit blobs of paint out, it’s so annoying because the finish isn’t smooth so you have to go over it with a brush which just leaves marks on the wall
