WagnerWood&Metal paint sprayer W 125 for laquers and varnishes, interior and exterior usage, 5m² in 10 min., container 600 ml, 350 W

I almost never write a review but this little paint sprayer is excellent. Super simple to operate and gives a fantastic finish. I did three practice pieces (the backs of some Besta cabinet doors) before getting the hang of it and spraying near flawlessly. I couldn't understand the stick doodad that is meant to help you dilute by 10% at a time, so I just used a digital kitchen scale instead. Cleaning was straightforward, every part comes apart easily and can be washed. I love this paint sprayer, great value for the money. I'm sure there are fancier sprayers out there, but for my needs it's just the thing.

Originally bought to upcycle an old piece of old furniture which turned out great. Been sitting in the shed for months.Had my garden redone and all fences replaced just before the lockdown. The contractor quoted me £500 to paint all fence panels which I thought was steep so left them.Decided to paint them myself this week and it took me an hour to hand paint one coat on one fence panel and it looked like it would need at least two more coats. I have 23 panels to paint! ( now understand why I was quoted £500)! Life is too short to spend days painting fences. Then remembered I had this sprayer. Spent an hour covering all the areas I didn’t want to get paint on with plastic dust sheets (boring)! Thinned out the paint in a bucket, loaded up the sprayer, put on some music on and away I went. Took less than 10 mins to do one panel and if you keep a steady flow, will only need one coat with the sprayer. Result! The paint does run out quickly but I found one pot will do one panel and then fill up, which is easy to do.Did about a dozen panels today and as it’s quite heavy to hold with full paint pot, the wrist got a bit tired. Will do the rest tomorrow.Cleaning the sprayer is a bit of a faff but if you wash the paint pot out separately, which I did in a bucket, and then fill it up with clean water and spry it out again in a bucket, just to clean out the tubes and nozzle, it’s much quicker. I do this outside in a bucket to prevent the sink in the house getting paint all over it.Must clean after each use.I must say it’s quite fun doing a chore which could have been mind numbing.

First, let me say that this was the first paint sprayer I have ever used after hearing bad reviews of paint sprayers in general from other people, I’m a perfectionist and I hate painting fences. I was using water-based sprayable fence paint diluted by 5-10% water (as per the instructions) onto brand-new unpainted fence panels. It is also worthy of note that I got through the paint at about twice the rate the manufacturer suggests you will on the side of the container, so make sure you buy enough.The spraygun itself is exactly as good as I could’ve expected it to be for £50. Easy to set up, easy to use and delivers a good finish, in general. Also very easy to clean. The only slightly negative side I have for the gun is that the pot which holds the paint is quite small, so you find yourself having to stop painting quite quickly to refill the pot again, but this is only a small downside. If you want a paint sprayer to do a few fence panels a year, this has worked well for me recently. A good paint sprayer. However...My question to you is whether you really need a paint sprayer depending on your needs and how much of a perfectionist you are.The gun is very good at painting flat fence panels which are not rough to touch. Because the spray comes out in quite a fine mist, it is not very good at giving an even and thick finish on the rougher areas as it is on the smooth areas of wood, and in the corners and the angles of the fence panels. The paint can also tend to run quite quickly if you cover an area with too much. You will therefore find yourself having to apply a second coat in order to get a deep and even finish. You will also need to use a brush to touch up the harder to reach corner areas of the panels. And depending on how much of a perfectionist you are you will also have to spend a reasonable amount of time masking up the areas that you don’t want to end up overspraying onto. And don’t even think about using this (or probably any spraygun) to paint the fence when there’s anything above about a 5 mph wind.In summary, if you are spraying a lot of flat fence panels where you don’t have a concern for overspray going onto your neighbours conservatory, kickboards which are of a different colour to the fence panel itself and you’re not a perfectionist about the detail of having to use a brush to get into the corners to get an even, thick-paint look then using a spray gun such as this will be right up your street because it is undoubtedly faster than doing it all by hand - and you won’t be disappointed with this model.But if you are a perfectionist and want a very even very high quality look to your fence panels, you will probably spend just as much time masking up areas you don’t want to spray by accident and touching up the areas that the gun can’t get to very well with a brush, so you might as well just do the whole thing by brush.

We bought this as we had an entire house to paint. We put standard paint through it, once we got the viscosity right it made quick work of a wall. If you are looking for a sprayer for some light work then I’d recommend this one.Is it quicker than a roller? Depends, when painting the next day you can leave the roller in a plastic bag. This needs to be fully cleaned after each use. Factor in that time, along with getting the paint mixed, might even that out.Another difference to a roller is the texture. The spray will essentially have no texture and should be smooth. A roller leaves some minor textures, depending on the material is made up from.

Used this to spray clear solvent based fence treatment which fortunately did not stain the concrete posts.On the minimum setting it seem to get through the container quickly compared to brushing, however, far easier than brushing.I watched videos of how to clean it afterwards but upon reassmbly, two rubber gaskets fell out, taking an age to work out how to get them back, the one where spring/valve is shaped with a curved top but seemed to have oversiszed and wouldn't fit properly. I probably spent more time reassembling it than using it.Next time, if I again use a solvent treatment I'm going to to spray white spirit through it instead of taking it apart.
