Great tutorial. I just bought this unit to spray kitchen cabinets and wanted to watch as much video as possible to learn. Awesome

Best tutorial around for this sprayer. Thank you for sharing your years of experience with this unit.😊

Well presented and full of good information. However when it comes to waiting in between coats try sealing the spray gun inside a plastic bag with the open end tied with a shoe lace. No air gets inside the bag so the paint stays wet. This way your tip doesn't dry out, and no need to clean or mess around with the tip. When you come to your next coat of paint just pull it out of the bag and carry on where you left off. I have left my spray gun over night in the tied up bag if I am continuing to paint in the same colour the following day and only clean the gun out when I've totally finished spraying. Hope this tip is useful to you or your followers. Kind regards. Tim, from the UK.

Hi Molly, I have been researching the Wagner Flexio 5000 because I have a big project coming up. That project is painting our kitchen cabinets. Never using a paint sprayer is a bit intimating I must admit but after finding and watching your video, I feel much more comfortable in tackling the job. I must say that this video is by far the best one on YouTube explaining this paint sprayer. You have a new subscriber and thank you for what you do.😄

Thank you for this video. I have been so confused about settings for my sprayer. You explained everything beautifully and easily. Thank you!

Firstly thank you for this video. I have been agonizing over what to buy for my daughter to use as her first sprayer for her new upcycling furniture business. There are so many options.

Your kind manner and complete professionalism explaining everything about the Wagner 5000 made me go yes this is the one.

Thank you so much. We look forward to seeing more content

@04:55 that red washer is critical for operation. During cleaning it can come away from the unit. @08:13 Using a cordless drill and from Amazon paint stirrers, prep & mix the paint.

I've seen many tutorials on spraying, this by far is explained and practiced more than any other. This is a "Great Practical Guide" to turn out a professional looking job. Thank you, you've taken away all my fears.
