What types of paint can I spray using the Wagner Wood & Metal Sprayer W 300?
The Wood & Metal Sprayer W 300 is for spraying lacquers and stains. It is suitable for solvent-based and water-soluble lacquers, stains, primers, two-part primers, clear lacquers and timber processing products.

Can I use synthetic paint with a paint sprayer?
Yes, you can use both synthetic (resin-based) paint and water-based paint in a paint sprayer.

How should I dilute the paint, and what mix should I use?
Undiluted stain, timber processing products, oil, disinfectant, plant protection products. Dilute solvent-based and water-soluble lacquer, primer, car paint, and high viscous stain by 5-10%.
If insufficient paint is being fed through, dilute in steps up to 5-10% until the paint supply meets the requirements.

What is the high volume low pressure (HVLP) technique?
Without going into the technical aspects in too much detail, the features of HVLP are:

• less overspray
• easier cleaning
• easier to work with
• small to medium-sized projects

What are the differences between the Wall Sprayer W 500, Wood & Metal Sprayer W 300, Universal Sprayer W 890 and Universal Sprayer W 950?

• The Wall Sprayer 500 is an original emulsion paint machine suitable for spraying emulsion onto multiple walls. The Wood & Metal Sprayer W 300 is a lacquering machine suitable for relatively smaller projects using lacquer/stain. For example, when painting sheds, fences, and tables.
• The Universal Sprayer 890 is a lacquer/stain/emulsion paint machine. This paint sprayer has more power than the Wall Sprayer W 500 and the Wood & Metal Sprayer W 300. This means it is easier to work with thick paints. In addition, compared to the Wall Sprayer W 500 and Wood & Metal Sprayer W 300, this machine is better suited to larger projects.
• The Universal Sprayer 950 draws the paint directly from the container. This machine is basically a emulsion paint machine. It has relatively high power, which makes it better suited to larger projects due to the faster working speed. The machine also produces more overspray.

I have read a lot about the cleaning of these machines. How long does it take to clean them, and what should I use?
Cleaning the Wagner Wood & Metal Sprayer W 300 takes about 8-10 minutes. Clean the machine with the dilution solution. For water-based paints, simply clean the machine with warm water. Synthetic (resin-based) paints diluted with white spirit should be cleaned with white spirit.

Do I need to use a lot of masking tape?
Although the overspray of the Wagner Wood & Metal Sprayer W 300 is relatively negligible, it is always a good idea to mask off. The Wagner product movies are just too ‘clean’ compared with the reality. Mask off a margin of about 10 cm, and cover the floor and furniture.

Will everything get covered in paint due to overspray?
There will always be a little overspray with spraying. The Wagner product movies do not really correspond to reality. You should mask off and cover up in much the same way as you would when painting with conventional rollers. It is also important to keep the spray nozzle at a distance of 20 cm, perpendicular to the wall (this prevents slewing). If you follow this advice, you should not have too many problems with overspray.

Does a paint sprayer deliver a better result?
Definitely! Paint coverage is better and smoother, and provides a very professional looking result. You also need less paint. Wagner states that paint consumption can be reduced by up to 30%.

Can I work faster with a paint sprayer?
This depends on the surface that needs to be sprayed. The actual painting is much faster compared to using a roller, but preparation and cleaning take more time. As a rule of thumb, the tipping point is usually when the object to be painted has a surface area greater than 40 m². If your project is larger than this, you will save time. For complex surfaces, such as beams and corners, you will gain immediate time savings.

Is spray painting difficult?
No, a paint sprayer is easy to master. It is a fairly simple and convenient way to apply paints, stains and lacquers, especially if you follow the guidelines correctly. That is why it is important to read the instructions for use carefully, and call us if you have any doubts.

Do you deliver the Wood & Metal Sprayer W 300 ready for use?
Yes, the Wood & Metal Sprayer W 300 is delivered completely ready for emulsion paint.
