5.0 out of 5 stars Wagner Paint Crew, November 12, 2003

By 

JM "dcibagman" (Sooner Nation, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wagner Power Products 515000 3/8 HP 2,750 PSI Paint Crew Paint Sprayer (Tools & Home Improvement)

I used this painter to spray a 3 BR house interior ceiling, front porch and exterior trim. The unit made very short work of the actual painting time and delivered good coverage. By the time I finished the 1st BR, I was used to the unit and able to control the spray better. The gun is very nice and lightweight. The supplied tip worked great for the things I painted, but I did some research and found out there are optional tips for finer detail work that can be purchased separately. Masking certain areas goes without question. I found that it was better to keep the hopper full or at least half full of paint. Only thing I didnt like I was always having to untwist the supply cable. 25ft of cable is nice so you dont have to drag the unit all over with you, but I found I had to stop from time to time just to untwist the cable. Again this can be overcome with an optional swivel attachment for the gun. I think this should have been included with the unit. Overall it was a breeze to use and lived up to my expectations. Cleanup was a bit in depth. I probably spent nearly an hour cleaning the unit, but it didnt matter to me because I had saved time on the painting and wanted to get it thoroughly clean.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for large projects, December 26, 2004

By 

DIYGUY (Hercules, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wagner Power Products 515000 3/8 HP 2,750 PSI Paint Crew Paint Sprayer (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought the Wagner Paint Crew back in fall of 2003 to paint the interior of my house and for under $200 it was well worth the money. You get a professional quality paint job in probably a 1/4 of the time it would take to paint with a brush and roller.

Before you start: 1) You NEED to buy protective gear for spraying. That includes: Spray hood or sock, disposable spray suit, shoe covers or just used bags secured with rubber bands or duct tape, googles, 3M type respirator w/ filter cartridges, and disposable gloves. A respirator is absolutely necessary if spraying indoors. 2) Mask off and cover everything you don't want to get paint on. The spray gun makes a very fine dust that stays in the air for a few hours and covers everything. 3) Strain the paint when filling the hopper so the inlet filter doesn't clog. Especially important if you are using paint that has been sitting around your house for a few months.

Tips while spraying: 1) Make sure all the connections are tight. The includes the spray tip, the spray gun and the hose. It's a good idea to to occasionally check that the spray tip and spray gun are still tight during prolonged use. 2) Have someone available to help you strain and refill the paint hopper. It saves time because the sprayer thinks it's empty when there is still a 1/2 gallon of paint left in the hopper. 3) Look for runny paint where you sprayed too much paint and use a brush to touch up the area before the paint dries.

The only real flaw of the Paint Crew Sprayer is that its' hard to pour unused paint from the hopper back into a paint container. However I didn't deduct one star on my review because I finally figured out that I can use the prime setting to empty the paint hopper by placing the return tube over a one gallon paint can and letting the Paint Crew empty the hopper by itself. Just use a plastic putty knife to get as much paint of the sides of the hopper and help move the paint for the back of the hopper towards the inlet filter while you let the sprayer run on the prime setting. You can recover almost 100% of the paint from the hopper without risk of spilling paint when trying to lift and pour paint back into a container. Clean up is a lot easier once you get most of the paint out of the hopper.

3.0 out of 5 stars Only large jobs need apply, October 29, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Wagner Power Products 515000 3/8 HP 2,750 PSI Paint Crew Paint Sprayer (Tools & Home Improvement)

It really pains me to give this sprayer only 3 stars, but that's pretty much the bottom line here after weighing all factors. The good news is that the finished painted surface is excellent, the spray is very fine and consistent, and the unit seems very well designed and well made. It didn't leak a drop. I like that the pump and paint hopper are separate from the spray gun, so you only have to carry around the lightweight gun.
Now for the bad news. The sprayer tends to suck air in if you're using a thicker paint, like acrylic latex, unless you have at least 1 1/2 inches in the hopper (bucket). Once air gets in you have to stop and reprime the pump, which isn't easy when you're sealed in an empty masked room and you're covered head-to-toe in protective gear. With paint sprayers, goggles, a respirator, and overalls are MANDATORY. Also, you have to mask surfaces really well or mist will get on them. Because the hopper is so big, you end up wasting a lot of paint when you're done. You can pour it back into the can, but there's a lot left on the walls of the hopper. Again, you need a lot in there just to get it to work at all. Cleanup is a PAIN. You have to wash out the machine, run water/soap through it repeatedly, disassemble and clean the gun, and oil everything down EVERY time you use it OR even if you just want to change paint colors. I used it for the 2nd time tonight to paint a ceiling. The entire job, from getting dressed to cleaning up, took me about 2 1/2 hours (not including masking). I spent 5-10 minutes actually spraying, the rest of the time was spent cleaning, prepping the machine, adding paint to the hopper and repriming the pump, and getting dressed.
If I had to use 10 gallons of paint (one color) or more on a job, I would gladly reach for this product, and I would probably give it 4-5 stars. Anything smaller, and a roller is much preferred. The box says "medium to large jobs", but only large jobs need apply.
