I have 11 doors in my house with louvers. I wasn't even going to try painting with a brush. I purchased the Power Painter Plus and, after a little practice, the paint job was done and came out even better than I expected. So good, in fact, that I took down all of the other doors in the house and repainted them. The process if very fast and very easy. The hard part is cleaning up. You've got to be diligent and patient. You've got to get all of the little parts spotless. But, if you do, assembling the sprayer and starting the next job takes just a few minutes. I would highly recommend this product.
Prosfast, easy, results

The original tips started to leak after the second use. A new tip started to leak after an hour. Probably leaked 1 pint out of 1 gallon can. The sprayer is not consistant when used at low setings.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Did a really nice job when using the supplied cup. Never did get it to work with the hose. Never seemed to have enough suction to get it out of the can. Did not want to thin paint because of running so just used the cup. Painted numerous pieces of lawn furniture plus 20 shutters. Used both latex and oil paint. Worked great with either. I even used it to paint some damage on my car. After body work I primed and final coated a fender. Not a bad job, not factory, but a lot cheaper. Figured I payed for the gun right there. Take it from me, be extra sure you clean it well and dry it out before you put it away or be prepared for some poor results the next time you go to use it.
Prosmake fast work of small jobs
Consnever got the hose to work
Yes, I recommend this product.

Can I use Power painter plus to use undiluted latex paint and primer to paint wood panels? I was told that the painter plus is not strong enough to spray undiluted latex paint out of can.

Yes. My Power Sprayer had no problem with undiluted paint1 month ago
Answer:
Yes, it will spray undiluted latex paint. I would recommend doing an arms length pass and let go of the trigger. I would not recommend holding the trigger down continuously. The reason being in the piston inside the machine moves 2000 times per minute and if you are holding down the trigger continuously the heat from the piston starts to dry the paint inside the machine causing it to spit, sputter, or even seize the piston.3 months, 2 weeks ago
Is the flexible spray tip extension used with older model sprayers compatible for use with the Power Painter Plus with The Optimus Dual Tip Technology?

I assume the pump produces air pressure to pressurize the tank, therefore forcing the paint up to the gun? The vibrating pump is like a rubber bellows or a piston?

The Wide Shot is an airless sprayer. The piston in the sprayer will create a vacuum that draws the paint up the suction tube.4 months, 4 weeks ago

I've painted several times with this sprayer and have always cleaned it thoroughly. I'm using an exterior latex paint. Last night it was most of the way through the first gallon when it started to act funny (not an even spray, lots of globs). I figured it must have gunked up and wasn't pulling paint correctly so I decided to pour the remaining paint back in the can and clean up.
I noticed at that point the piston was difficult to get out for cleaning. It seemed to clean up fine and when re-assembled appeared to function correctly.
Tonight I wanted to finish up and loaded up the sprayer and began spraying but only a few minutes into spraying it got stuck again. I pulled it apart, unjammed the piston, put it back together and resumed spraying. Again, a few minutes later it jammed again.
The longer I sprayed the more frequent it jammed and the harder it was becoming to un-jam the piston. I only made it through 1/2 gallon of paint before giving up and cleaning the pieces.
I can't see any obstructions in the cylinder and if I manually cycle the piston it appears to move freely back and forth. As I mentioned once put back together it works for a short period of time before getting stuck.
I saw there is a replacement piston kit, but it seemed like all of the comments were from people who "broke" a piston. The piston on my sprayer does not appear to be broken.
Any help would be appreciated but I don't know if I want to continue using the sprayer at this point for fear of breaking something worse than the piston.

Answer:
While using the sprayer are you holding down the trigger continuously or doing a pass and letting go? If you are holding down the trigger continuously that could be what is causing your piston to seize. The piston inside the machine moves 2000 times per minute so if you are holding down the trigger continuously the heat from the piston with cause your paint to start to dry inside the machine causing it to spit, sputter, or seize the piston.If you are doing an arm's length pass and letting go of the trigger and still experiencing problems with your piston seizing the piston has probably worn and needs to be replaced. If you have any questions please contact us at 1-800-328-8251.
