Tools and Hardware Reviews of Reconditioned Wagner 0515000T Spray Tech 2,750 PSI Paint Crew SprayerCustomer Review: Saved me a ton of time and work! Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the refurbished Paint Crew 770 to paint my house and I'm really glad I did. I was able to spray the whole house in a few hours. Unpacking it, I could tell it had been used before, but it was cleaned up very well. The hose, spray tip and manual were all new, and I believe the filter was too. From other reviews I was worried about the thickness of my exterior paint clogging up the spray gun. I was using Pittsburgh ultra exterior latex satin finish, and I never had any trouble at all, not even a single clog. The sprayer put down a very nice pattern that was easy to work with, and I was able to cover dark green with light beige on metal siding with just one coat! The only thing at all negative I can say was that the hose was a little stiff, but it got more flexible as the day heated up. I did add a swivel connector (Google "insert swivel connector airless" and it will be the first result) which definitely made it easier.
Here are some tips that really helped me out. If you need to stop spraying for a while (10+ minutes) and you are using latex based paint, you can just dunk the spray gun in a bucket of water and leave it there until you return. You'll also want to keep the paint in the hopper from drying out by pouring about a ½ cup of water on top of the paint and swishing it around to cover the entire surface. Just mix the water into the paint when you are ready to start again. I was able to pause painting for six hours between coats on some shutters this way and it was like I never stopped.
After you refill, the pump may run continuously and you can't spray. If this happens, it's probably because the inlet valve is stuck shut. Wagner recognized this problem and provides a plastic tab sticking up in the bottom of the hopper that you can press with a paint stirrer - this will in turn push the inlet vale and free it. You'll know you got it when the pump reaches its pressure limit and stops.
Cleanup is not nearly as bad as it sounds. In fact it makes sense if you just think about it for a second. Get the paint out of the hopper, clean the hopper, get the paint out of the hose and gun, clean the hose and gun. There is a tube that goes to the top of the hopper that is used for priming the pump. It is flexible so you can make it dump anywhere you want. When you put the sprayer on the "prime" setting, it will pump whatever is in the hopper though this tube. Just stick the end of the tube in your original paint container and switch to prime, and it will pump all the leftover paint out of the hopper. Use a silicone or rubber spatula to get every last drop to the inlet valve. Now rinse out the hopper. Fill it with clean water, turn it on prime again except this time have the tube dump into a waste container. Keep pumping clean water though the system until the prime tube runs clear.
Now we need to get the paint out of the hose. Fill the hopper with clean water. Remove the spray tip from the gun and throw in a bucket of water. Put the machine on "spray", and trigger the gun into your original paint container until water starts coming out. Seal up your paint container, that's all you're getting back. Take the gun off the hose and take it apart (handle, filter, spring, washer, swivel (if you bought one) and main gun assembly) and throw it in a bucket of water - hand wash these parts and the spray tip.
Fill the hopper with clean water again and run the machine on "spray" until water coming out of the hose is clear. I also run it without water in the hopper until the hose has no more water in it, but not sure if that's advisable or not. I'll risk it.
Hand wash the gun parts. The manual says to drop some oil in the gun body for storage, but does not say what kind. You can use any kind of clean oil really. Wagner makes some especially for this, but you can also use 3 in 1 oil, hydraulic oil, motor oil, or even canola oil. Drop about a tablespoon of oil into the inlet vale in the hopper too to protect the piston.
It sounds complicated but once you've done it once or twice it is really quite easy. I can do it in about 25 minutes now. Just make sure you put the filter back in the right way, otherwise you'll get lots of pressure and no paint next time.
