Currently Playing: I Tested 3 Paint Sprayers… Here’s the One I’d Actually Buy

I tested three paint sprayers on one full furniture makeover—from primer to final topcoat—to see which one actually performs best. The results were very clear… but not in the way most people expect. I came up with the idea for this video while writing my Beginner’s Guide to Paint Sprayers—because the more I broke down concepts like prep, setup, spray patterns, and atomization, the more I realized something… Most people don’t need more information. They need to actually see the difference. So instead of just explaining it, I put three different sprayers to the test on one full furniture makeover—from primer all the way through the final topcoat. For this project, I used: • The HomeRight Finish Max for primer • The Wagner Flexio 5000 for paint • The Earlex 6700 for the topcoat Each of these represents a different level, and this gave a true, real-world comparison of how they actually perform throughout the refinishing process. The results were very clear. The Wagner Flexio 5000 is still the best all-around sprayer for most people. It’s versatile, easy to use, and consistently produces a beautiful finish across a wide range of projects. If you’re only going to invest in one sprayer, this is the one that makes the most sense for the majority of refinishing work. https://amzn.to/3LFFVzN But when it comes to topcoats, the Earlex 6700 is in a completely different category. The finish is smoother, more refined, and noticeably more professional. If you’re ready to level up—or you’re working on higher-end restorations—this is where you’ll see the biggest difference. https://amzn.to/4bkCeIH The HomeRight Finish Max still has a place, especially for beginners or smaller projects. It’s a great entry point if you’re just getting comfortable with spraying. https://amzn.to/3Q4snjh If you’ve been trying to figure out which sprayer is actually worth it, this project gives you a clear answer based on real results—not just specs or opinions.
