How To Set Up An Airless Sprayer | Paint Sprayer Tips

What happens here

For stability, place your gallon of paint inside a larger 5-gallon bucket. With the sprayer still in 'prime' mode and pressure released from the previous water priming step, insert the intake tube directly into the paint. The prime tube can be placed into the paint as well, or as the presenter prefers, kept in a separate bucket of water. Turn the sprayer 'on' and allow it to cycle in 'prime' mode until all the remaining water from the initial priming is purged, and a consistent stream of pure paint, free of any air bubbles, emerges from the prime tube. This indicates the system is fully loaded and ready for spraying. Always ensure the spray gun's safety is engaged when not actively spraying to prevent accidental discharge.

Goal: Load paint into the airless sprayer by placing the intake tube into the paint and cycling until all water is purged and only paint flows smoothly.
