W-072 Universal Spray Guide Accessory Tool

Works wonders

It took a little time to setup but was easy to do. This product almost worked exactly as advertised. The 517 tip that it came with really should be changed out for a 312 to give a better chance of success.The pros: comes with an extension, easy to put together, not the lowest budget materials for the price.The cons: you must take the time to adjust the spray pattern to spray exactly right on the wheel, (in my opinion) a tip in the 300-400 range should be included instead of a high production tip, you need to avoid getting too close to corners, * * when you stop spraying you need to immediately move away from the wall as it will continue to spray (as though the isn't a tight seal in the design)Suggestions after my first use:Change the tip to a 312/310. If you have a Fine Finish Low Pressure (FFLP) tip this may work best, I will try this next.Start with medium to low pressure on the sprayer.Start your spray away from the corner. Or you will get buildup.Cut in your corners prior to spraying. It was frustrating trying to get corners painted with the wheel.Maintain a semi fast movement speed while spraying.Thank you for your time.

This Spray Guide does have it's applications, but requires some tricky fine-tuning! You have to crank down the pressure on your airless sprayer, or you will have overspray anyway and (more problematic even) the paint will trip off the shield. I ended up mostly using a 30" hand-held shield that worked much more satisfactory. On a hand-held shield you can 'pile' up a lot more overspray before it starts dripping, because of its much larger surface area! For my spraying of Acrylic stain, it really wasn't working well enough. It might work better with latex paints with a heavier consistency, but that I don't know.

The nozzle is cheap and will need to be upgraded. It takes some time to get it working properly and may need adjustments. Expect some overspray. Great for miles of baseboards and door/window casings.

Work well with my old one

Had to find another way did not work good

Like the wall guard better that this. Did not work well.

I had the sprayer as low as could go and went as fast as i could but still got puddle of paint its a great idea but seems like forces the sprayer to be to close to the wall
