Wagner Flexio 590 Paint Sprayer Review and Setup

This week I show you how I set up my new Wagner Flexio 590 Paint Sprayer, tackled the tricky job of painting the ceiling of the workshop, and give you my honest review and feedback as a first-time user. If you decide you like the Wagner 590 you can get one here using the links below. These Amazon Links won't cost you any extra but do provide me with a small kickback that supports my channel.



Here you'll find almost all the tools I use in my shop from the Bosch Mitre saw to Glue and Sandpaper :D

There is a steep learning curve with this machine but with practice, the results can be great and in the right situation save you a lot of time. The machine is suitable to paint fences, walls, trim, decks ceilings, and projects large and small. Just get it dialled in carefully and your dilution sorted before beginning on your workpiece.

I hate instructions and I hate long drawn-out tutorials. This is neither. Do yourself a favor and watch every second. It’ll save you an hour or two of frustration. Great job 👏🏼

[burnsy]

Very clear and honest review! Super helpful, thanks

[benrichards]

This explains alot. The reviews on this are mixed. I think its down to people not really knowing how to use the tool properly, getting frustrated and giving up. Once you get the hang of it, its a great tool.

I enjoyed the mixing of the humor with the paint! Yesterday, I unboxed a Wagner 2000 sprayer to paint some outside fences and laddice panels. I teach piano for a living an had to put most of my students on hold because of Covid -19. I am doing work for my landlord and one of the projects is painting. It did a wonderful job for me until I took a break for 20 minutes. Apparently, the sprayer got clogged and I had to clean it with soap and water. I noticed you added water to dilute the paint a little. I need to do this next time as well. i am a novice at this however, watching you made me feel not quite as badly. lol Besides the awful mess I made and the cleanup time I was pleased. Obviously, I need more experience with this unit. Thank you again for making me laugh. one of the music stores where I teach has a couple from England who manage it, and they make me laugh as well. TA TA!

Learning by doing is the absolute best skill builder mate, your video making is really good & I love the explanations you give in describing the whole process, Bonza stuff 🍻👍👍👍🇦🇺

[debiallen]

SOLD. TY been looking for one best for me, this is it I believe. Thank you!

[edwardmaher]

This gun so good will be painting all my roofs,

[julietphillips]

Thanks so much for this! I recently bought one, not this model, and was expecting lots of tweaking necessary! I guess I will be practicing and experimenting before I actually get to the project!

Great review mate, plenty of useful tips I haven't seen e.g paint thinning stick in other reviews. Thumbs Up.

I just used the same sprayer and had some issues with splatter and too much paint. As a beginner, I hesitate to start with walls, let alone the ceiling. I did crown molding and looks great, but the prep work is intense. I will continue to use the sprayer until I master it because I love the time saved in the actual painting. Thank you for the video, I feel better now knowing we both struggle in our first attempt to spray. On a side note, your tip on using cheap table coverings is smart; I bought in the Home Center, a plastic that is attached to the painter’s tape for $16 USD (super expensive) and it was very difficult to use; my husband had to help and we both were very disappointed with this product. We will be using table covering tomorrow!

Love this review, you did very well with this sort of gun which is not the best for this kind of paint job, thanks m8!

[ShapingSawdust]

Great, honest review. It’s really beneficial to go through the learning experience with you.

[vojeckis]

Thanks, very appreciated for the video and novice's fck ups. Going to do my first spray attempts now, and tips from video will be quite useful with eggshell paint dilution 🙃

They sell light drop cloths rolled with tape already on it. It works great!

[northsider]

Cheap brush and roller and the job is much easier and quicker. I learnt the hard way too 😅

[gregbartlett]

Great video. I just purchased the same sprayer and also a complete novice with sprayers. I took on a task of spraying walls in my Granddaughters bedroom. I had to primer / undercoat to cover a darker colour 1st.
I found that the paint splattered and left gobs of paint on the surface and also the nozzles kept clogging.
The paint was quite thick and I did try diluting it by 10% but to no avail. I think I will dilute more next coat.
I will also be doing the ceiling and will make sure that I dilute by 15 to 20 percent with this. I will be undercoating 1st.
I did the walls 1st, not sure if that is the correct order, as I thought it would be easier to drop sheet the walls and protect them from overspray when I do the ceiling.

I've had a couple of Wagners (diy versions) and they both have issues with clogging. They work great out of the box but I never get it to work s well again. Either the nozzles are not clean enough or the paint isn't sucked up from the container or it splatters ....
...and yes - I think I clean them properly.

[regbaron]

I have the 590 and used it on a fence which was good, but in your project I think a large roller on a long stick would have been much easier. 👍

[edwardmaher]

I use light weight extension cord,
Am going to make a belt clip to support the lead .

Would Wagner Flexio W590 model be suitable for solvent based, viscous pliolite masonry paint?
