Hey there, Pete! I just wanted to drop you a line to express my gratitude for your fantastic tips on nozzle selection and pressure settings. Seriously, they've been an absolute game-changer for me. Your willingness to share your expertise is truly appreciated. Thanks a bunch for being such a valuable resource!

I had a blocked tip once, graco told me to place inside a cup with pump armour over night, then sprayed with high pressure with water on the quickshot, tip got unblocked. Saved me ££

Hi Pete,
Hope you're keeping well. A great guide on dealing with the seat and seal which is important but often overlooked. Thanks for posting.
With best wishes, Rob

Brilliant and informative the information about the orifice size in the seat will be a great guide for new sprayers I fell foul of this myself when I first started spraying as all new bits of equipment came with a blue 5.17 tip and large orifice seat in the guard so when I used a FFLP tip I had spits all the time and couldn’t understand why thanks again brother for another great video. 👍🏻

Been sparying for few years on new build but never looked in to it before, I was only changing tips without the Little o ring thing, now u showed me what is what and what to do with It, great stuff thanks;-)

[AngieWilliamsDesigns]

I just watched a video you released after this one. It was how I found your channel. I asked then what the differences were for the tips. This video answered it perfectly. Thank you for sharing this. I found it easy to follow and understand. Definitely will be subscribing.

Mr. Pete, thank you very much for this video. I did not know anything about this. Thank you very much. Question: What is the best tips for applying wall paint?

[jonnyhicks]

Very useful thanks Pete. Look forward to the next one….

Hi Pete, I love your videos. I’m learning so much thank you. I’ve just bought a Greco ultra quick shot and plan to spray paint a 3 story staircase, spindles /banister. I’m new to this and I’m trying to figure out the best tip to use.. my research has lead me to an FFLP 208 for control and to minimise overspray. Would you agree? Also, is there a primer that you would recommend that I could spray prior to topcoat? Many thanks. 🙏

Looking for a video on paint viscosity and or types of thinners for high volume low pressure paint sprayer.

[TheSmithyt]

Would you change the seat every time you change the tip ??

[romanivanovich]
