1. I have the same sprayer. I'm using Benjamin Moore advantage satin latex paint thinned with floetrol. I'm painting cabinets that have a BM advantage primer on them. Why are there tiny bubbles coming out onto my cabinets as I spray?? It's a pain to sand them down in between coats.
2. I love the shirt :-) "COLLEGE"
3. I have heard that sprayers use more paint. Do you think this is true?Thanks
4. Excellent basic instructional video.
5. Okay let me help everyone out:
   1. When you get your gun, make sure that all of your pieces fit securely and if there is a packing(o-ring) required anywhere, make sue it is in and not pinched.
   2. Make sure that you thin the paint that you are using in a separate container and make sure that it is mixed very well.
   3. Before putting the THINNED paint into the sprayer, use a strainer to keep any clumps from getting into your feed line and clogging it or making the spray inconsistent.
   4. Know your settings, adjust the flow/air power/pattern before you start spraying on target.
   5. You are better off spraying 3-4 thin coats for a nice smooth finish rather than just swamping it on there.
   6. Establish a nice smooth spray pattern that overlaps about 50% and don't stop while the trigger is pulled.
   7. CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN your gun when finished and wipe your nozzle every couple of minutes.
   Note: for thinning, use the appropriate thinner... if it is a water based paint, thin it with water. Hope this helps.
   I use to paint helicopters for a living and have dabbled with quite a few HVLP guns and even though this is nothing like it, the same concept applies.
6. You don't get any leaks from the tip like other reviewers?
7. I had a Graco and now I'm try the flexio 590. I'm getting bumps when I spray and that was out of the gate with ever thing clean. I'm not sure what the issue is do yo have any insight?
8. Thank You....
9. Hi Mark. I tried using this last night to paint some new baseboard and trim I purchased. It left a bumpy look when I sprayed the baseboard. It was latex paint. The instructions said not to thin the paint. This was my first use so it couldn't be due to not cleaning the sprayer. Do you have any suggestions to give it a smoother finish?
10. How do you prep your paint do you have to thin it at all prior to going into the sprayer???
11. You didn't address how to solve any problems with using the device. My paint always spatters and leaves large droplets on the surface that I am painting. I'm using good paint, thinning as recommended and straining the paint prior to use. Still notgetting a smooth finish.
12. so the payoff is time and volume but you sacrifice detail with overspray. what if you dont want to hit the ceiling with the wall color?
13. I just bought one.  We shall see.........
14. I use it for commercial purposes
15. I watched both videos, thanks.  Question, each video I see you spraying the wall and the ceiling at the same time.  I usually do ceiling first then the walls.  If I do the ceiling first then after it dries, use blue tape around the edge of the ceiling then use the Flexio 590 to spray the walls, how likely is overspray to hit the ceiling?  Also, do you use the 590 sprayer on the ceilings?  I saw your hat recommendation, learned that one after rolling a ceiling.
16. my wagner worked great first couple times, then I have issues getting paint out of it.  I to take the entire mechanism apart and clean it thoroughly...it just seems clogged in the tip of the gun.  Any tips?
17. I'm looking to spray epoxy primer in a tub, would this gun be good for epoxy you think?
18. Any recommendations when painting a popcorn ceiling?
