Refresh the outdoor chairs

Crafty ways to upcycle a chair

Spring is just around the corner, and it’s the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors in our garden or on the balcony. You might want to bring out your terrace furniture, but if the paint is peeling or the wood looks weathered, it can dampen the holiday mood.

Here, we’ll share a simple and quick way to transform an old chair into something special. The possibilities are endless.

Tools & Equipment Required for this project

  • Paint sprayer (if you don’t have one visit our sprayer selector tool)
  • Masking tape/Mask it
  • Sand paper
  • Cloth
  • Priming paint
  • Chalk paint

Upcycling beach chairs with a weathered appearance

Imagine relaxing in the fresh air, surrounded by a romantic ambiance that evokes memories of the beach. You can easily bring this dreamy atmosphere to a plain wooden chair by giving it a weathered beach basket appearance. This vintage, weathered look is currently in style and can beautifully complement a modern setting. Each crack and scratch tells a unique story, and by doing it yourself, you can achieve this aesthetic without the expense of authentic antiques.

Here’s how to achieve this style:

If there’s still some paint on the chair, thoroughly sand it and wipe off the dust with a cloth. Prime the chair with primer paint with a tint of grey and allow it to dry completely. Then, create the weathered look using a chalk paint color. Carefully apply the paint to the wood with a cloth, creating an irregular pattern. Let it dry, and you’ll have your very own self-made holiday chair to enjoy.

Painting the colours of the chair in a colourful stripe looks completely different.

It looks fresh and the graphic element is a real eye-catcher. The vertical slats on the chair are perfect for the striped look. Choose your favourite colours, for example, white and grey are a perfect aesthetic.

Prime the chair in white paint and let it dry throughly. Then, simply tape or cover all places that should not be painted with the other colour. Spray the rest of the slats with the second colour. If you want, you can paint the armrests and the chair legs yet another colour. When everything is thoroughly dried, remove the masking tape. Using a colourful stripe creates a lively contrast and an exceptional design. It’s an easy way to make a simple chair into a real eye-catcher.

TempSpray – Temperatured Controlled Spraying

TempSpray Temperature controlled spraying

TempSpray Temperature controlled airless spraying: heat instead of dilute

Temperature controlled airless spraying is a paint application method that offers several advantages. WAGNER’s TempSpray technology uses a heated hose to improve surface finish. In this guide, we’ll explain how the technology works and the benefits it provides. So what is it? 

What is temperature controlled airless spraying?

Temperature-controlled airless spraying is a process in which the ideal viscosity for spraying is achieved by heating the material to the optimum temperature throughout the year. A heated hose is used to heat the material to the required temperature. By optimising temperature, the viscosity is reduced, and this, in turn, reduces the required spraying pressure. As a result, paint overspray is reduced, the longevity of your sprayer is increased, and the surface finish is improved.

TempSpray – how does the work?

The heated hose is an innovative accessory that connects to the paint sprayer and replaces the regular hose that usually runs between the pump and paint spray gun. This cutting-edge technology uses an electric heating element to heat the material inside the hose to the desired temperature along the entire length of the hose. You have the flexibility to set the temperature between 20°C and 60°C, depending on your needs. This feature allows for a lower viscosity, which, in turn, leads to an exceptional material application. The softer spray jet and optimised atomisation make for an improved overall experience.

Spraying advantages with TempSpray

Using a heated hose to apply coating material ensures that it remains at a constant temperature, regardless of the ambient temperature. This helps to reduce its viscosity, even when dealing with highly viscous materials. As a result, the coating material can be applied at a lower pressure during temperature-controlled spraying, which can make a significant difference in the final outcome. The benefits of using a heated hose system for applying paint can be clearly seen in the final product.

By heating the material you achieve

  • Perfect spray pattern without tailing
  • Optimum surface quality thanks to softer spray jet and optimised atomisation
  • Considerably better edge coverage
  • Increased application efficiency
  • Reduced overspray with virtually no spray mist
  • Decreased masking requirement and subsequent cleaning
  • Shorter flash-off and drying time.

If you’re looking for a reliable and efficient way to connect your paint sprayers, WAGNER’s TempSpray heated hose system might just be what you need! Depending on your requirements, you can choose between a small, compact and handy model or go for something more practical with a long hose and reel. 

 

One of the most useful features of this product is the ability to adjust the desired temperature of the material from 20 to 60 degrees Celsius. When you switch it on, it automatically starts with an initial temperature of 40 degrees Celsius, but you can fully adjust the temperature setting of the product at any time to fit your specific needs. 

For larger heated hose systems, you’ll be pleased to know that there’s also an integrated hose reel that’s particularly practical for the construction site. With this, you’ll have a large working radius and a compact and safe way to store the hose, reducing any risk of damaging it. Overall, WAGNER’s TempSpray heated hose system is a great investment if you’re looking for a reliable and efficient way to connect your paint sprayers.

 TempSpray – what applications are suitable?

The WAGNER TempSpray is a top-of-the-line temperature-controlled spraying system that is specifically designed for professional use. The system features heated hoses that are capable of handling a wide range of coating materials, including paint, varnish, and many others. Among the different TempSpray models, the H 326 stands out with its 30-meter long hose that offers the largest working radius. Moreover, this model is ideal for highly viscous materials such as adhesives and sealants.

One of the most remarkable features of the WAGNER TempSpray system is its ability to deliver a flawless finish even at low outside temperatures. This means that you can use it to apply exterior paint and interior emulsion paints with ease and in large construction sites, even if the coating material has cooled down during storage. In situations where you’re dealing with large and draughty surfaces, like multi-storey car parks, bridges, and subways, the material tends to cool down quickly during the application. However, with TempSpray, this is no longer a problem. The hose heats the material to the desired temperature, ensuring that you can work all year round without any restrictions on the quality of the surface you create. With TempSpray, you’re in control, and you can easily defeat factors such as weather and outside temperature.

With the WAGNER TempSpray H 126, H 226 and H 326 offers temperature controlled spraying for every coating application. The various materials that can be applied are:

  • Enamels
  • Wood protection
  • Primers
  • Stains
  • Oils
  • Interior paints
  • Acrylic paints
  • Exterior paints
  • Fire protection
  • Water-proofing of buildings
  • Adhesives
  • Sealants

Please note

Which ever materials are being used please read manufacturers SDS sheets instructions regarding flammable material.

TempSpray Models Available

The TempSpray heated hose is available as an accessory for many Airless paint sprayers and also some AirCoat sprayers. This means that you can use the TempSpray with  models from the SuperFinish, the ProSpray through to the HeavyCoat to enjoy the benefits of temperature controlled spraying.

Airless Tips & Tricks: Tailing and Adjustment

When preparing to spray – test onto cardboard to ensure your spray is even.

Before spraying, we recommend carrying out a spray test on a piece of cardboard.

 

If the spray pattern is unsatisfactory, for example due to tailing on the edges, you can adjust the following settings:

First, check the pressure setting. An increase in the spray pressure leads to the nozzle being supplied with more material and therefore the spray pattern is more even. The material can also be diluted, since the viscosity is also crucial for the material’s spraying properties.

The right nozzle size is a further factor that influences the spray pattern. The choice of nozzle depends on the material. The wear of the nozzle also needs to be considered. If necessary, the nozzle should be replaced.

Tailing pattern
Even- correct pattern

 


What is tailing?

Tailing usually occurs when your using airless sprayers. This happens when the paint is too thick and your trying to push that paint through the incorrect tip. By checking the Technical Data Sheet from the paint manufacturer, this will tell you what tip you should be using. When the spray pattern is tailing, below we’ve provided some quick solutions. When you’ve corrected the spray pattern and your achieving a smooth pattern, a 50% overlap is recommended.

  • Pressure is too low: Increase the pressure your spraying
  • Your spray tip is clogged – clean and clear the spray tip
  • Check the inlet filter. Sometimes the inlet filter can be clogged
  • Check your spray gun filter. Is it clogged? This may need cleaning. Always keep extra spray filters in your tool box.
  • If you’ve been spraying, the spray tip may be worn. Keep some extra tips in your tool box for these occassions.
  • If the material is too thick – do you have the right size tip? A possible solution to this is thin the material using the appropriate thinning solutions.

Why Use a Tip Extension?

 

WHY USE A TIP EXTENSION?

Use tip extension for extra reach! Using the extensions make working with Airless paint sprayers more efficient, by increasing the working radius. The nozzle extensions are also useful for accessing hard-to-reach areas such as ceilings, door and window frames.

 

 

Whether it be for a DIY or Professional Wagner Sprayer, a tip extension is a handy addition to your sprayer. Depending on the project, there are matching extensions between 30 and 60 cm. The use of a nozzle extension often means that the use of ladders or scaffolding can be reduced to a minimum. The Airless nozzle extensions are compatible with all WAGNER Airless guns and are available with a G or F thread.

The reduction of fatigue on the body allows you to spray on a roof without the need to bend to even spraying ceilings, cornices or the hard to reach areas and enables you the painter to reduce the amount of time and money in your spraying application with less setup time.

Below we’ve prepared a list of tip extensions products from both DIY to Professional product ranges to help guide you.

Importance of Paint Viscosity

Achieving a successful and efficient spraying application requires understanding the role of paint viscosity. Viscosity refers to the thickness or consistency of the paint, which directly impacts the flow and atomisation of the paint particles during spraying. 

The viscosity of the paint affects the size and distribution of the paint particles when sprayed. Thicker paints with higher viscosity may not atomise properly, resulting in larger, uneven droplets. This can lead to an inconsistent spray pattern, poor coverage, and potential issues like orange peel texture. To ensure proper atomisation, the paint needs to be thinned to break down into smaller particles for a finer spray pattern and smoother finish. 

Paint viscosity affects the amount of overspray generated during spraying. Thicker paints with higher viscosity may result in excessive overspray. To reduce overspray, better control, and minimise paint wastage, thinning the paint to the appropriate viscosity is necessary. 

The paint viscosity also influences the spray pattern and coverage achieved during application. Thicker paints tend to create a narrower spray pattern and may not cover the surface evenly. Thinning the paint to the correct viscosity allows for a wider and more even spray pattern, ensuring better coverage. 

Why is paint viscosity important?

Different types of spray guns and nozzles require specific paint viscosity. If the paint is too thick, it may clog the equipment, affecting the spray pattern and performance. On the other hand, if the paint is too thin, it may not provide adequate coverage or may cause excessive dripping. The viscosity of the paint can also impact the drying time after spraying. Thicker paints with higher viscosity may take longer to dry, potentially leading to issues like dust or debris settling on the wet surface. Thinning the paint to the appropriate viscosity allows for faster drying, reducing the chances of surface imperfections. 

 

To achieve the desired viscosity for spraying application and a professional-quality finish, it is crucial to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and recommendations for thinning agents or additives.

The advantages of Spraying Ceilings

THE ADVANTAGES OF SPRAYING CEILINGS AS A PAINT PROFESSIONAL.

Painting a ceiling is incredibly hard work: you get little drops of paint in your eyes, your neck hurts and after a while your arms start to ache especially when your using a roller or brush. 

Using an airless sprayer to spray paint the ceiling makes your job easier – it’s not just quicker, it’s almost effortless. You save time, energy and material – and therefore money!

When it comes to spray painting ceilings, it is usually a case of needing to coat a ceiling in a house or an office building with ceiling paints. This is by far the most common application.

For industrial surfacesmaterials with special properties are often chosen for the coating. For example, car park ceilings need to have a particularly resistant paint and finish. In industrial buildings, such as production areas, a sound-absorbing acoustic coating or fire protection might be required.

Coffered ceilings with wood panelling as well as ceiling mouldings also require coating. 
When it comes to wood, you might decide to 
paint or varnish the ceiling – you can get the job done easily with one of the airless sprayers.  

In general, you should try to apply as little pressure as possible to these types of ceilings, including ceilings mouldings. This is where accessories can help, for example, a TempSpray heated hose to reduce the viscosity of the paint or a HEA ProTip low-pressure nozzle .

Spraying a surface is clearly a lot quicker than painting with a roller or brush – even accounting for cleaning time!

Saves you energy

It’s tiring holding a roller on the end of a long handle over your head and trying to maintain a constant pressure. With the spray gun, you only need to pull the trigger and then move around at a steady pace.

Surface structure is preserved

If you have a ceiling with a decorative or embossed surface, then spraying the ceiling helps to apply the paint evenly. The structure remains unchanged – in contrast to painting with a roller and brush where paint collects in the recesses of the embossed surface.

Saves you material

Just think how much paint is lost through paint splatters and splashes! The spray method doesn't just stop this wastage, it also saves material because it allows you to achieve an even coverage straightaway. With the right settings and a HEA ProTip the overspray is minimal.

Saves you money

If you get the job done quicker and use less material, that means you save money and can start to tackle new projects in the time you have freed up – or alternatively finish earlier in the day

Five simple steps to spraying ceilings

Step 1
- Preparation & Masking

First, the surfaces need to be prepared by sanding or cleaning as necessary. When preparing the ceiling, mask off other areas. Protect the walls and the floor using drop sheets or plastic. Take particular care with walls that are a different colour, ensure that the masking tape is pressed down well to create a straight edge.

Step 2
- Setup Sprayer

Fit your airless sprayer with the required accessories – a nozzle extension or long-reach gun. With the nozzle extension and the long-reach gun you can reach high ceilings easily, such as those frequently found in older buildings. Different versions are available so that you can select the appropriate extension for the size and height of the room.

You will also need the right nozzle and gun filter insert for the material that you are using.

Step 3
- Adjust your sprayer

You can now adjust the material pressure and the spray jet to suit the coating material. Before spraying the ceiling, quickly test the spray jet on a piece of cardboard.

 

Step 4
- Spray Time

Spray paint the ceiling using the same technique that you use for walls: maintain a constant distance and angle as well as a constant speed. If you take a break, cover the container with a lid or cling film so that nothing dries out!

Step 5
- Clean up time

First, remove the nozzle and holder. Let the leftover material run back into the bucket. Then use the cleaning solution and rinse out the device. 

Continue to clean until the cleaning solution runs clear. The gun can generally be disassembled into its separate parts so that you can clean the filter easily and thoroughly. 

For contactless nozzle cleaning, you can use Wagner’s Tip Clean.

What machines would be suitable?

What is HEA?

What is HEA?

HEA is an abbreviation of High-Efficiency Airless, the innovative nozzle technology revolutionising airless spraying. Using HEA tips can reduce the pressure of the spray device, allowing it to work in the low-pressure range of 1160-2030 psi. These tips are compatible with all TradeTip 3 tip holders and WAGNER devices. 

How does spraying with airless work?

Our cutting-edge HEA tip technology is the ultimate solution for achieving outstanding results while spraying materials. By utilising a Pre-Tip in tandem with an atomisation tip (Finish-Tip), our technology ensures that the material is atomised at the same volume and speed as traditional airless devices, producing a soft and feathered spray pattern. This pattern guarantees better coverage of overlapping strokes, reduces paint build-up at the beginning and end of each pass and delivers a superior-quality surface. With our HEA tips, you can achieve perfect results effortlessly and save on materials at the same time.

LESS OVERSPRAY

The lower spraying pressure reduces overspray by up to 55%.

MAXIMUM CONTROL

The gently feathered spray pattern ensures better coverage and avoids hard edges.

LONG SERVICE LIFE

Reduced strain on the sprayer and its components mean HEA tips can be used for twice as long as conventional airless tips.

FATIGUE-FREE WORK

Low pressure spraying ensures low gun recoil for ease of use.

SURFACE QUALITY

Even coverage provides excellent surface quality, with little to no back-rolling required.

HEA technology compared to handy accessories standard airless

With the HEA nozzle technology, a pre-atomiser nozzle is positioned ahead of the actual atomisation nozzle in order to atomise the material at the same delivery volume and working speed found in classic airless devices. The structure of the nozzle creates a particularly gentle, feathered spray jet. The result is better coverage with overlapping of the spray paths, less paint build-up at the start and end of the stroke and a better surface quality. This makes the tips particularly easy to use, saves material and ensures a perfect result. Hence, the coverage is improved with overlapping spray paths, the paint build-up is reduced at the start and end of the stroke and the surface quality is enhanced. The tips are user-friendly, material-saving and guarantee an impeccable end result.
