Wow, someone who has interest, passion, and pride in their work. GL with your career man, wish you the best, thanks for the knowledge

I appreciate the level of detail in which you speak!!! I hope you make more money than you know what to do with!🙏🏾💪🏾

I have the 9.5 Graco also 10 yrs old , you really dont need to warm them up, they get warm enough as you spray for even 5 min. Get a plastic 1 gallon bucket to pour and stir before putting that much material into those small cup , leave some product left over to fill cup so your not stopping in the middle of a door and would need to remix more material. That air adjust is really for Multispec, which dials down the material so it sprinkles specs for a decorative effect. And the air adjust lets you spray out for cleaning the leftover material with no air. Tip sizes are the only real adjustment to material flow volume. The turbine air must usually stay the same just to get a decent spray pattern depending on viscosity of different materials. The only time I would turn air down might be very light stains, varnish etc. You may know a lot of this so forgive me, I just add my experience in here for guys new to these somewhat unusual machine compared to simple airless operation I started in the 70's with the more crude HVLP turbine units Your Graco FFLP tip were the game changer. One thing my brother, your starting out right on bidding, 48 yrs ago when I started, I didnt try to do sq footage or per door pricing. I went to the job, calculated my helper costs, my labor , materials and just how many days needed , and how much per day I needed to be competitive. Your a sharp guy, you will do well. I grew so much when I adopted techniques and patching materials from the autobody industry. Are you using that Red autobody glazing ? They have white glazing non catalyzed , works better. You tint it slightly so you can see it over white primer. That red glazing is for pin holes in autobody finishing, water base paints might slide off or fisheye over it, it must be re primed with oil base primers Just look over those cabinet doors at an angle with a good light to see low spots. By the way , are you in Calif ? i'm from Santa Barbara, great climate and a good state to setup your shop outside if needed Remember since you do thin the paint as I still do, no one is forcing you to put a heavy wet coat for your first topcoat, go light. For your second coat, only spray your medium wet coat after the water dries out of the first coat (slightly tacky) The second coat will surely re-wet the second coat melting into it With that blending, you will get the flow needed to rid yourself of most orange peel and reduce the chance of runs if you were applying too heavy a FIRST COAT. In the 80's ,the acrylics were new, but great, I could spray a french door, second coat it in an hour, and close it against the rubber weather stripping in a few hrs. The paint wouldn't pull off. Now ,for me, its all about good ,soft edge spray patterns, don't thin too much, and layering coats. But as you said, all depends on the bid, and if sprayed thick to get your price and get finished on time, it might please the customer very well, even if there is a fine orange peel .

Just by the way you prep I know you good at what you do. I’m a painter too and I just purchased the same machine doing my first project with it, hopefully everything works out.. Great work brother keep up the good work!! 💪🏼

I’ve been spraying for the past 8 months with a GX21 and have to say, other than the cleaning process, prepping and mixing paint, it’s a brilliant way to get a fantastic finish. I haven’t used the HVLP machines but hope to use one soon. Great job and finish, keep up the work.

great video!!! I am spraying a kitchen tomorrow Thursday with my brand new Graco 9.5 hvlp. your video helped me lots to know more about this awesome machine. Thank you!!!!!

Nice work! Very thorough! I love seeing people take pride in their work. It's a rarity nowadays.

love your attitude, excellent mindset

Bro just used that Emerald paint its amazing!! I brushed and rolled doors,trim and crown it went on like butter and it laid down so nice it was hard to tell i brushed it. I can't imagine how nice it would look if you sprayed it. It has just become my go-to trim paint and door paint. Plus it's exterior also.😱😊👍

Love the video brother. Love the energy. Keep it up

Great video. Fantastic info.

My wife and I own/operate a painting business in our town. We stumbled across your video and were pleasantly surprised when we saw the drying racks you set up, we do the same thing. We also use the emerald line and it's an amazing product; we are able to get it around 60 dollars a gal vs 110 though.

legend has it he's still mixing it to this day

Great video and that you for posting!

Awesome tutorial-thank you so much…

Great video! Do you thin down the primer too?

Great job buddy! I stay in SD Too. Thank you!

Great preparation, there's alot more spraying in the U.S than in the U.K at the moment, I'm looking at getting into spraying 👍 great video man

Do you have tips/advice on spraying high gloss paints with this model. I recently purchased and love it so far. Only thing is that I’m having trouble getting high gloss paints to look really smooth and high shine. They keep looking almost like a satin.

Great video, I'm spraying Emerald on our kitchen island with my Graco airless. 308 flip tip . Having trouble getting a good finish without runs

It's obvious that you know what you're talking about. Just one suggestion: if you use a microphone it'll be way easier to understand what you say and put all that good info to good use. Keep up the good work 👏

Nice seems 10% seems to be the answer for this product that ive researched. I wanna get a graco hvlp 9.5 for my cabinets and a lot of furniture products as well. I mightve missed it in the video but what needles did you use for the paint and what needle for the shellac primer? Do you do two coats primer, sand after primer, then 1 coat paint, sand and then 2nd coat? Thanks brotha!

I have a finish pro 7.0. It only came with #3 tip. According to the charts provided by graco the best materials to spray through a #3 are lacquers and enamels. I have a cabinet job and the color is snowbound in satin. In your experience what would be the best product for me to use? Can I prime with a #3 tip?

another tip, mix your paint in a clean mixing cup then sieve into your suction cup, less chance of contamination

Great video!

I have only used the Kem aqua from Sherman Williams, do you think a Fuji mini mite 4 can handle this paint.?

How many coats of finish and do you sand between coats including the primer?

Pick up some of those reusable pour spouts for the 1 qt/gallon cans and you won't make a mess out of the can, waste a bunch of paint and clog up the slot where the lid goes.

Nice video. Where did you get the hangers for the doors?

Another tip: Find an old hand held electric egg beater. Insert a beater arm into a cordless drill to stir the paint. It actually has less surface area than a paint stick, so not only does it mix faster, there’s less paint to wipe off after mixing.

I have a Husky HVLP with a 1.4 and 1.8 mm nozzle. Big enough to flow?

You do a great job! I love the way you explain everything and you have such a positive mindset. I was a painter for 25 years( had my own company for 15) but I recently developed nerve problems in both hands and can't paint anymore.::I miss it terribly. I still enjoy watching your ( and other peoples ) videos even though I currently can't do it. How do you know which door goes where? Keep up the great work.

What primer do you use?

Thank you for the sauce!

Love my Graco

What primer did you use?

I really like emerald paint too. I painted my trim and cabinets with it and won't use anything else for wood

Great video! Thanks for the great advice and walkthrough your steps, super helpful! Do you ever get a grainy texture (think it’s micro bubbles) using emerald urethane? I’m having to abandon my project because I can’t seem to spray a decent coat without them! Any advice here?

Love the grind bro 😎 looking to take on my first cabinet paint job I don’t have an HVLP sprayer at the moment could I use an airless sprayer with an FFLP tip and still spray emerald urethane?

Ok i got to ask what you charge for that job? Can't believe all the masking you did...amazing. How long from start to finish did it take you?

How many oz of water in your 10% water?

Thanks for sharing and doing this video. My question is what you put the air-flow adjustment at in relation to material flow. No one seems to talk about this. If you put the Material flow at 5, is the air flow higher than that or lower? And I noticed you mentioned that you adjust the air flow as the paint level goes down during spraying. Do you mean that you'll raise the material flow and the air flow? Just overall unclear on these settings. btw. I own this sprayer but I am new to this. Thanks.

My question is what kind of tip is best to use for cabinets I have a Graco airless sprayer

Where did you get the hangers

I'm Rapides of water-based paint acrylic paint . Problem with - when I painting some oak old doors was plases where I sandit to much. and stairs , some yellow come out. zinser bull yey 123 don't work.

have u tried to paint a car with that system ?

Dude, if you’re spraying waterborne, spend $5 and buy the rubber red cap that goes over the gallon can to pour the paint and not make a mess. If you’re for certain going to use the entire gallon, no need, but when you have paint left over, using the cap keeps the can and top circular ribs looking brand new and avoid dried latex that may fall into the paint. Yes, I know you filter, but still….

Try the gallery series. Best paint for cabinets thus far. Matte gloss has a high end finish

So, I want to paint an iron fence-thinking about SW Pro Industrial Pro-Cryl Universal Primer and SW Pro Industrial Alkyd Urethane Gloss Enamel. Can I spray those with a Fuji Mini-Mite 5-stage system?🤔 Any help is greatly appreciated.😎

Good evening Blessings brother When I am going to spray an exterior door Using urethane emerald satin Which needle do in use ??

Can I use this paint with pink color?

quick tip use a paint brush for paint on side of tin instead of you hand

Your a beast

I have used the hvlp 9.5 as well. What needle do u use for the emerald product? Also on your gun what's the paint flow and air flow at?

One question. I'm a painter as well. When you hang doors like that, do you have to drill holes on the side of the doors? I used a different method of drying. That's why I was just wondering. Hit me back. Thank you.

Good Vid sir.

I have been using my airless to spray cabinets. You ever use one? I don;t have to refill the paint bucket much. I don't think I could use that short hose on my projects.

I have the 9.5 too. Can you recommend a needle and tip for spraying marine varnish?

I just bought the Graco FinishPro 9.5 with the Edge II gun, and I'll be spraying kitchen cabinets with Emerald. What fluid tip / set are you using - #3, #4, or #5? What are your gun & turbine settings? Thanks!

I have a 4 stage Fuji turbine HVLP and I'm going to use it to paint a toy chest with that exact paint. I have a 1.3 tip. SW said I don't need to thin it. Can the turbine/gun handle straight, unthinned paint? Any other tips? Thanks!

awesome work and info i wish have a better view bro however outstanding !

Hello, does this work with latex and oil paint?

First off, thanks for the video. How high do you have the turbine when spraying the emerald? I saw in another video you had paint at 3 and air at max. Also what are your settings with primer?

How do the hangers work? Two screws in the top of each door? Thanks

Is it possible to thin too much in terms of ruining the paint?

Estimating is simple= LM&OP Labor,Materials,Overhead,Profit. And remember, “Profit is the reward for taking risk”

What needle size u used for emerald paint?

Yo buddy just got me. The pro comp .. was wondering. Is the air flow always running unless you shut it off from the valve ? I’m with ya urethane goes 🔥🔥 even hard to clean up from my hands 😂😂

I'm curious how much did you charge for a job like that and how long did it take you I am just getting into painting cabinets just needed a little info by the way excellent video

Yo, cool video and good vibes! Question for anyone that has sprayed Emerald satin. Has anyone ever experienced fish eye with this product?

💪💪💪

So what’s your equipment that you use to spray with? Awww I should have looked at the title better Graco makes good equipment 💯

Buy a pop up tent rap walls on poly let them dry there, lots of dust and shit gonna be attracted to that slow drying urethane, static will draw it use 5% extender don’t listen to SW bout not thinking it down and hit it with kilz primer b4

Watched every second of this video! Awesome content! I'd love to see you get some bright minded people like you to help you get it done faster. You'd do great! Subscribed!

Hey bro What primer are you use for cabinets?

Nice bro. Just got one today. Curious if you're out of Jacksonville where I'm at

Whate did you get those hangars

👍

Bro with the machine can do bathtub pain

Emerald urethane and pro industrial urethane is the exact same product/formula just different labels.... I use both on cabinets all the time.....

my SW Rep said you don't need to prime with this product....trying to get your opinion. Going over oak cabinets that have been poly finished.

Nice Work!!!! What SW primer would you recommend for for cabinet prep prior to applying the Emerald finish coat? Looking for a quality primer that requires minimal sanding. Appreciate your help on this. Cheers...

Hey brotha I need your help I am trying to find a good hanging rack and good system to spray one at a time hanging like you did .. please help brotha thanks ! Subscribed !

I what to refinish my bathtub

Ey compa donde vives . Vives en california?

Quiero ver cuando sprayas nunca he usado de agua pienso q c chorrea

Paint,,,90% prep, 10% paint. So why do we call it painting ? Lol

Why use your glove to clean the paint from the tin ? Use a brush

Why dont u just premix the amount you need in a seperate bucket.. Instead of tryin to mix in that little cup each time .. Especialy if you need more that that cup..

Mix in some floetrol instead of water.

I like the video and I like the channel but the fact that has the name Paint life is going to not benefit you as much It’s the Idaho Pantera has that phrase already

bla bla bla bla .... work finished LOOKU SEE?
