Wagner Flexio 3000 vs. Paint Brush | Chalk Paint Furniture with Spray Gun

I’ll be testing out the how this paint sprayer preforms applying chalk paint vs. natural bristle brush. I’m taking some dark chairs and giving them a farmhouse makeover with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Old White. Then I'll seal them with Annie Sloan Wax in clear and reupholster the seats with some fabric from Hobby Lobby.

I had a lot of fun trying this sprayer. It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. I can't wait for my tent to get here so I can paint something else. 😂

[charleseggers]

Thank you.
I had looked at few bad reviews and was noticing they didn't show the actual work in progress.
Your video was instructive and confirmed my suspicion the bad reviews were not following instructions.

When cleaning up after sanding, I like to use the swiffer dry cloth pads, the do a great job if cleaning off the dust.

I just purchased this paint sprayer because I had seen a lady use it. I have not used it yet and I am so grateful to you for doing this video. I now feel that I can use it without being so fearful.

Great job with the detailed demonstration of this spray gun. You made this process so easy to follow. Clear, easy, and concise. Thanks and keep up the great videos. God bless.

Every time I paint furniture I think about getting a paint sprayer but have never been sure about how it would actually work out on something small. Now I KNOW I need one!

I just bought the Flexio 5000. I think the gun would be lighter because the air turbine is in the case and not the handle. I used it for the first time on shutters and loved it. Now I cant wait to do a china hutch with the chalk paint! Love watching your videos!

Just bought the same paint gun and will be trying it on some end tables this evening. Thanks for the video!

Put mask on when you paint- you’re going to want those lungs when you get older. I also wear safety glasses, and rubber gloves for adding paint and clean-up 👍

[kaitlynwiggins]

I bought this sprayer a couple weeks ago. Can’t wait to use it!!

Saw this video at 3 AM and was painting our studio with the Flexio 3000 by 3PM. Thanks for the demo!

[amypletcher]

Just bought the new of these Wagner 3000 to paint our ceiling and walls! Can't wait to use it! Tomorrow can't come soon enough.

[funnypeoplerule]

AWESOME video thanks! I liked that you timed it and that you let us hear it run.

[peacefulwarrior]

6" away and smooth long spraying techniques is for your best jobs .
Have this sprayer too and it impressed me for small to medium sized jobs 👍 definitely
recommended this sprayer for rookie painters as well as for pros for easy quick jobs .

[donnaassenza]

You have convinced me to purchase. After refinishing my kitchen table & buffet, I wanted to redo all my furniture. Perhaps now I will. Thank you 😊

[chip]

I just wanted to add that i bought this same sprayer. Its awesome. One other tip is that if it stops spraying theres a pin hole on the tube near the top that goes in the cup if that's plugged it also wont spray.

[MarcoACasco]

Got the sprayer...finish is sooo much better...thanks !!!!

[Wagner-Spraytech]

Wow, that's such a huge time difference! Thank you for featuring the Wagner FLEXiO 3000. We love the flawless finish on the chairs, plus the distressing and upholstery work is amazing!

[arielspalter]

Thank you for the video. It’s informative as it should be, and also inspires me to repaint the damn dining table I’ve been planning on in the last 3 years.

[kellyanne]

I’m looking for sprayers-time to paint the kitchen cabinets! 👍🏼
I’ll keep this one in mind!
