the best tradesmen is word of mouth. took 6 month to get my mate decorator round i did all the prep and undercoating and 1st coat emulsion he did final and all the cutting in i can earn more at work he is good and fast i save and give him extra win win
How do I find the part number.
All I know is that it's a W510. ?
One problem I seem to have is the 510 seems to refer to the electric part.
The part I am.m8ssing the nozzle for is just the larger gun and bottle.

You need to step up to the kind that sit on a 5 gallon bucket, and have 50-100' of hose.....
Painting outside, and worried of drifting overspray on the neighbors ?

What Does Dryfall Paint Mean? Get the Perfect One for Your Home
In most cases, Dryfall paint is applied to concrete, masonry or stone surfaces. It is typically used on ceilings or high walls where a traditional wet paint finish would be difficult to apply or maintain. Dryfall paint is applied in a very thin layer and dries to a hard, durable finish. Dryfall...

I used to do some house painting & imho spraying is a faff. When you add up the time taken to mask off, spray the room & clean the sprayer you would have had it painted 3 times quicker with a decent roller & brushes.
A sprayer isn't much use when you want the ceiling & walls different colours.
The only time I can see a use for spraying in a house is on new builds when contractors go through a whole house spraying everything the same colour.

Just my two cents worth. I do the repairs on airless paint sprayers Wagner, Titan, Graco, Seiwa, Quetech to name a few. The most common are the Wagner / Titan and Graco. The newer versions just to speak of in semi commercial for full airless in the smaller versions / capacity is Graco 390, or 395 which is valailable in a battey version, no need for a lead. However the corded versions work good just need to plug them in and are less expensive. The Wagner PS 22 or PS 3.23 the equivalent in Titan is about a 440. Professional house painters use these machines and have little trouble, apart from poor cleaning of maintenance. I have also painted internal wall of buildings and yes there is some overspray, but it is very limited. I put a drop sheet on the floor, mask the windows and door frame, use a bit of cardboard to block where I don't want it painted and away you go. I can paint a room faster that two people can cut in the edges. My brother inlaw and his wife, cut in 3" of the ceiling and the door frame and I could paint the room (windows masked ) in about half that time. I like the airless paint sprayers, they are good machines. There is a selection process, for the application, mainly tip size. Most common used here is a 517, which painters use for ceilings. You can look up the descriptions and you need to understand the operation of the tips and the method to paint. Once you have that under control the rest is easy. Again Just my two cents worth 
There's also the issue of cost, unless you are a pro house painter I can't see how you can justify spending over £400 on a sprayer just to paint a room! You can buy a top quality Purdy roller, frame, bucket & brush for less than £40 that will do the same thing in a similar time for 10% of the price!

Never again.... My wife insisted the doors were painted. I refused, they were gloss, she wanted matt. So we got a painter in, middle of 3 quotes. 7 doors and cases £600
.I come home the first night, there was paint eveywhere. I had all on not to lay the bloke out.
How they come up with pricing is beyond me, they must be on 60quid an hour. To paint f'ing walls. grrrr

Not a chance. My masking up was a pain in the backside because I was having to work off step ladders the whole time and it was awkward and fiddly on my own.
Painting was done in a couple of hours, it took about 20 minutes per coat and each coat was dry within an hour. Clean up took a couple of hours but that was largely because it wasn't my sprayer and I got the 15m hose spotless before returning it. It didn't arrive spotless so a lot of the paint was dried on.
Had it been mine I wouldn't have been quite so thorough or I wouldn't have had to clean off old paint. I've painted a less complicated room (the downstairs workshop) with just a roller, I wasn't fussed about cutting in just pushed the roller against the wall plates. That took 3 days because of the time required between coats to let things dry.

part of my house is 3 stories......
I'm pretty able but at 74 using a lambs wool roller up a ladder is getting too much/heavy......and she doesn't want me up a ladder for days.....
had quotes from locals and lets just say it aint the Fourth Bridge......lab only costings start at €2500.....ps, I can do the job in 5 days on my own but a bit fxxxed after..hahaha...
even using the best paint I still have to paint most of it again each spring to make the property smart for the tourists....
there are a 3 tall almost blank walls u cant see in the photo.....what u do see is easy by roller .....
are the cheap ones any good...?.....recomendations..those Wagners sound OK but not if it has a small pot....?? ...which is just as bad as a roller......
but perhaps I have it all wrong....
Same subject, at the mo the best paint here is imported Weathershield.....
so very soon, 1/2 of the smooth render will be removed and redone.....loose, cracks n bubbles......
MY QUESTION, is Polyurethene paint any better that W/Shield....not too worried about the cost of paint as long as it's good......just want to start off with the best paint
ps a 10'ish ltr bucket of W/Shield will be over €100 in the spring.......
the local paint is carp.....
What say you.......? thanks.....

Dave if you go for Wagner, these are the boys.
They are in Leeds, they know everything about the machines, everything i've ever asked for for our machines, they have in stock.

I have but can't find any spares.
Thanks for that.
Big problem is they don't list the W510 and if by any chance the 500 parts fit they are all out of stock.
I suspect the 510 is a number unique to the set they supply QVC.
I have been able to confirm I am looking for 3 pieces though as in the cleaning section of this video.https://youtu.be/WXQ9qaRZZ3c?si=UKsbwv05sR3lvt7U

Just 510 ... or whatever size you require
5 is half fan size ( so 10 inch)
10 is the orifice in thou
Orifice and fan are determined by your machine capabilities

You probably want the straight ends rather than the ones with a tit on the end
Seats seals shrouds are all the same in a given range
