    they used to plug-in, Wagner power sprayer 20 years ago. To paint several vehicles never had any of the issues you had.

    Maybe you should have tried to change the tip on the electric sprayer for the base coat, I don't know I'm just saying, I've never painted, however I've been watching videos for about 5 months now, I think I'm ready, lol

    Check of the o-ring on the nozzle is there. Same thing happened to me when i first tested one. Selected a 0.6mm nozzle, feed was minimum and spray pattern was set wide. Got a pretty good vaporisation with the gun

    Por lo que alcance a ver,  el regulador de caudal giratorio de la pistola azul, primero lo abriste a la mitad y despues lo bajaste al mínimo y por eso esculpió la pintura, (debes abrirlo todo) además oprimiste y soltaste el gatillo en la aplicacion de pintura, y no pintaste parejo, por eso la salpico, practica antes de hacer otro video y creo que tendrías buen resultado.

    This side‑by‑side test is so insightful! Airless really lays down thicker coats fast, but overspray and texture difference compared to the aerosol can is hard to miss.

    Great video. Even though I found it too late I ended up buying aerosol cans from auto paint supplier. Just painting my bike fairing so couldn’t justify the gun and regulator and filter and hoses for my compressor.

    Thin down the paint it helps you get a more atomized spray then adjust the settings so you spray less fluid with more air pressure and just spray a bit slower so you still get good coverage and now you have a sprayer that leaves a nice smooth finish i got a wagner flexio 3500 and sprayed a vanity with water based paint in semigloss and it left a finish like if i sprayed it with lacquer its truly amazing if u know how to use it
