WagnerSpraytech 2443205 Earlex 5700 Stationary HVLP Paint Sprayer for Woodworking and Furniture Refinishing, Fine Finishing with Oil & Water Based Materials, Adjustable Settings

Worked great and was very easy to use. The spray finish was excellent. The metal spray gun and can is nice to have vs the other plastic options.

Bought this model having never used a paint sprayer before. Very satisfied with it.Easy to understand instructions. Easy to use.Biggest hassle and mess is thinning the paint to get the right viscosity. My latex paint was much too thick to use.Cleanup was pretty easy but takes a bit of time.Would recommend this model for the weekend project person or home handyman.I used it to paint about 10 wood house shutters I built. Did a nice job.

When searching for a sprayer I could barely find any reviews for the Spray Port 6003, including here as most of the reviews were focused on the Earlex 5500. So here is my long winded review of the Spray Port 6003 for those who want detail from someone who's used it on a few projects.Like most people that are looking for a 3 turbine setup you wonder what the best bang for the buck is. Do I really have to spend over $1,000 for a 5 stage turbine? Do I have to get the blue color machine like everyone else on Youtube? All I was looking for in a machine was something that can spray water based finishes and produce a cabinet like surface. Long story short, this machine delivered that result. Here are the details:I have only sprayed water based finishes including primers. Reason being, it is water cleanup and it is easy. Which brings me to my first point... This gun is incredibly easy to clean. Sometimes between coats i'll just let the paint sit in there for up to an hour and no clogs. When i'm done I take it apart, spray some water from the hose bib in the cup, shoot some clean water through and then take it inside and clean with soap and water in the sink. From end of spraying until drying is about 10 minutes. There isn't a ton to break down when cleaning so it really is that simple.Paints I have sprayed:My goal with this was simple. All my clients want pieces made with hardwood or they want it painted white. I wanted to produce a white finish that rivals cabinets from a factory. I did that but here is a little secret, this gun will only perform as well as the paint you spray. I spray kilz water based primer thinned with water with a 1.5mm tip. I just add water and stir until it looks right, no viscosity cup, just until it falls smoothly off the stir stick. I apply three primer coats, more thin then thick to avoid making sanding more challenging. I sand with 220 in between the first two and the final primer coat I sand at 320. The next step is where the rubber meets the road. NOT ALL PAINT IS CREATED EQUAL. I didn't go to lowes and buy latex and expect a paint that is not designed to be sprayed spray like a lacquer finish. I bought a paint that is designed to be sprayed. Stop spraying latex, use latex on the walls, not furniture. I used General Finishes White Enamel (also sold on amazon). I put it directly in the cup (through a filter of course) and I did not thin. I used the 1.3mm tip and let me tell you. I did it. After two coats of the general finishes white enamel I had the cabinet grade finish I have so strongly desired. Is the paint super expensive compared to the home center? You bet it is. does the extra $50 mean you get the exact finish you wanted? Yes. Buy the right stuff and you get the right results. I'll post pictures of the first project I sprayed.Conclusion:If you are looking for a gun that can spray paint that is designed to be sprayed then you will be more then happy with this product. I love it. The pieces I have delivered since owning this gun have had people comment immediately, "That finish is so beautiful". Yes it is ma'am. It really is. If you are determined that you have to spray un-thinned latex from the home center then buy the $30 gallon paint from the home center and spend the $1,100 on a 5 turbine unit. I prefer to put the money into the finish over the color of the machine.Side note, it will probably spray thinned latex. It sprayed primer after all. It will absolutely spray all polyurethanes and leave a beautiful finish. Buy the 1.5mm tip the moment you buy the gun. I spoke to an Earlex representative who said the 2 mm tip that comes with the gun is for "spraying the side of the barn". The 1.3mm that comes with the gun is perfect for poly and other thin type finishes.

Bought this to paint all my lousy pressboard kitchen cabinet doors, drawers and faces. I watched several videos, read through all the reviews, and settled on the Earlex 5700. Admittedly, this is my first sprayer (I am old school brush and roller guy) however the learning curve was simple (watch the videos, and read the manual, however light weight it is) and then go for it. The pump itself weighs nothing and seems cheap as heck but if it lasts a few years that's all I can hope for at this price point. I put several gallons of Sherwin Williams Extreme Bond primer and Emerald paint through it with excellent results. Do pay attention to the flow rate (the primer needed a fair bit of cutting while the paint needed very little) and DO BUY FILTERS and filter your paint! (I was shocked to see chunks / flakes in my primer and lost a day of progress because of it.) Do NOT let the gun sit around for hours between coats - clean the needle at a minimum - and when done, be vigilant about cleaning the gun and all parts thoroughly. Near the end I could do a thorough cleaning in about 10 minutes.... The canister that ships with the gun I bought is only for paint, not varnish - you will need another one for that which isn't coated. Only con so far is that the canister interior coating is already scratched and seems kind of cheap but time will tell - still works great so far. Also, don't be like me and NOT tighten the gun down AFTER you decided which way you want the intake tube pointing. I didn't and it started dripping / leaking from the seal and made a mess of the gun and my work - live and learn. Once I figured that out, cleaned the entire gun, got my direction/angle right all was good. One other pro tip - the surgical tubing from the gun to the canister comes lose so I put some small zip ties around each end to hold it in place. Overall, 10/10 would buy again. Makes painting surfaces with odd angles / faces / profiles pretty simple.

I am an amateur furniture flipper. I kept seeing this sprayer by other flippers and decided to invest. It did not disappoint!! Very easy to use, easy to clean and lays down nice coats of paint. Love it!!

OMG, so great. Talk about easy and the finish it put on my cabinet doors looks fantastic. I’ll never touch a brush again.

I like the fine finish and clean up is quick and easy, also wagner customer service is great, had a problem with the 1.5 tip and they resolved the issue, what I don't like with the earlex 5700 is that it doesn't come with the cup that uncoated so I will have to purchase one for my projects I normally use automobile paint for my cabinets,spray quality I would rate 9/10

I had been using this since February and got good results which took work. I get a lot of orange peel with it which needs sanding, steel wool and buffing to finish off properly. The volume is very high and I do recommend wearing heaing protection. The hose is flexible which is really fantastic.I've just upgraded to the Fuji mini might 5 stage which is so much quieter and nicer than this but its also double the price. This machine is good for what it does but won't really provide you with the professional finish grade you're hoping for. I would rate this more as a DIY'ers machine more than a serious woodworkers or cabinet makers. It has served me well tho, with some effort.
