There is lots of dust no matter how you spray. Airless is faster. When you get enough practice, you learn how to eliminate spits. Use and HVLP for very fine projects like cabinets and furniture. An airless for house such and trim, doors, and walls. Much faster for that. Speed is crucial to making money.

Well, the most important thing is to have the final project look like new and like a professional did it. In my opinion spraying will end up looking far better then any hand paint job no matter how many years you have been holding a brush. Now, with that said, we mask fast and I mean fast. It does not take us long to mask and set up a sprayer. We can do it faster then anyone can hand two coat a job. There is just risk in spraying you have to be willing and comfortable to take on.

I have a Spraytech 6" extension. Graco used to make one but not no more.

One other thing....in your video you allow the gun to 'tilt' down on the lower end of your downward passes and to 'tilt' upwards on the upper end of upward passes. I've been told that you're supposed to hold the gun so the spray pattern hits the painted surface at 90 degrees at all times. Not true?

[idahopainters]

Yeah you are kinda right here but a little tilt does not effect the quality of the layout at all from my experience as compared to adding a gun extension that would allow you to keep it at 90 degrees yet cause more spits as a longer gun extension will do. A little tilt also saves my back and knees as I am 44 yet the finish always looks excellent.

Why do you use the 6" extension? Couldn't you just spray the doors/window without it?

[idahopainters]

So I do not have to reach as far. A 6" is just the right height for me doing doors. Also when loading and cleaning the sprayer, a gun extension makes it so the water or paint comes out in a nice clean stream instead of spraying out everywhere as it does with the gun only.

Hey is it better to use a hvlp sprayer vs the airless due to spits? I used the hvlp and loved the results but dear god the over spray due to air was a mess. Do airless perform with less overspray dust?

ty for the vids; getting a wagner airless soon and watching the techniques is awesome help.

wouldnt it be a lot easier to just hand paint trim around windows etc..? it looks like that prep would take forever.

i like your vid

Hey, thanks for your replies. I particularly liked the technique about squeezing the trigger once and keeping the flow going so you don't get spitting. I bought a mid-level Spray-Tech rig and a Graco 'Contractor' gun. Spitting (a problem at first) seems to be minimized using a Graco RAC-X 212 FFT and making a conscious effort to FULLY squeeze the trigger to start each pass. Question: where'd you get the 6" extension? Graco doesn't make a 6", their shortest is 10".
