Question 1

What is the difference between the Flexio 570 and the Flexio 590?

Accepted Answer

The essential difference is that the 570 has two speed settings and the 590 has an adjustable dial for additional speeds.

Question 2

will this spray latex primer (kils) ... how much thinning req .. will work okay

Accepted Answer

Yes it will spray primer. I did not have to thin it at all. I did not use Kilz, I used Zinser 123 with the fine mist application jar. I used 2 coats, but that is just me, I wanted every thing to be covered. Then I used latex paint. I did not need to thin it out but I added Flotrol so the paint would take longer to dry, which makes for a very even application. I used it on a vanity, draws, and doors. I am planning on painting my kitchen cabinets next. It is an extremely good sprayer and I tried several.

Question 3

I just used my sprayer for the first time. I cannot seem to unscrew the container off of the system so I can clean/refill it. What am I doing wrong?

Accepted Answer

My experience on this has been that it is a very tight fit between the paint cup and the paint head.  it is not easy to grab the bottom of the cup, it's so very smooth.  It does have flat ridges but  it still is very tight hard to grip.  I suggest you remove the powerhead and then with the paint cup between your feet, turn the paint head counterclockwise, you will have a better grip with your feet if its that tight. .When you get the paint head off, double check to see that you don't have paint up on the treads inside and out. You may want to put a light coating of Vaseline on the threads inside and out, then screw it on and off a couple of times to spread the vaseline.  This may help.

Question 4

can it use exterior latex paint

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can use any oil or latex based paint, primer, or stain. It just requires extensive cleaning when finished to maintain functionality. This sprayer is designed to use latex paint WITHOUT thinning regardless of what people who have not read the manual say. If you have "globiness" issues, it's an easy fix: call the troubleshooting number and they will walk you through the steps to correct it. There is a piece in the nozzle that can be out of place upon purchase and its a simple matter of placing it in its proper place. Once it is corrected, the sprayer functions perfectly.
