Give a shout out to your favorite paint 👍

My father has been a painter for 20 years, I’ve been working with him for the past 3 years and we paint newly constructed residential homes. We both enjoy watching your videos and it gets us motivated to go paint, we appreciate your videos man keep up the good work!!

I’ve Been painting for 17 years. Own my own business now. This guy has great tips. No bs 👍🏻 most journeymen painters keep hard earned experience tips to themselves. Not everyone can be a painter. Takes a special breed💪

Been very much enjoying your videos. I pride myself with cleanliness and efficiency. A sign of a true pro is the cleanest of painting clothes..

I used to be this guy, in San Diego, and for a while in Oregon. This man knows his trade. Painter's lead the way!

Completely appreciate this seriously good advice. I’ve been following you for years even though I only paint something once every 4 or 5 years. But I go through a crash course on your videos each time I do paint. Thanks. And God bless you brother.

Your demonstrations are awesome. I am grateful for someone like yourself who shares. Im unemployed and this is my side jobs to keep my family fed. God Bless

Great tips on solo painting house exterior. I learned a bunch and you saved me a lot of time. Thank you!

Thank you very much for all your knowledge and professionalism, I've been painting for 22 years now and worked at very reputable painting companies but now paint and drywall for a construction company and they're great to work for, I'm a residential painter by trade, interior and exterior new construction and repaints, we use to paint alot of car lots and for production we'd put in a bigger tip and turn the pressure way down and we'd backroll so we had no over spray because it wasn't being atomized with higher pressures but basically like a garden hose, of course if you're not backrolling you cannot do this but the older journeyman painter's taught us this technique, we didn't do this on any smooth surfaces,just drivet, blocks, cinder blocks. Thank you so much for your channel Idaho painter and I watch and learn more all the time from you all.

Wow. Awesome video! Excellent tips and info as always. Thank you Chris. You’re ‘The Man!’ Rock on.

Thank you Mr. S.W. Is having their summer sale bucket.! I will follow your advice of buying stuff for future projects and save some money.!

Really great tip with the lid cutout. Thanks! 👍

gm brother, I enjoy watching you videos… I do lawn care and window cleaning in San Antonio and the other day your 7 year old video helped me replace the rope on my extension ladder… ty appreciate what you do sir

Awsome stuff man..thank you for sharing your knowledge

Great job. Great video. We use ladders and planks a lot which helps get across those wide high areas.

Hey Chris, wow, right back to basics, one man painting a house, you've come full circle, glad to see you really in the teaching business. Thanks so much you've helped me so much.

Your technique is mesmerizing... so pro!

Thanks for the knowledge you are the best 💪🏻

You bring up a good point about the sun shining on the surface and a wet edge. You should see how some of the products in Florida "tiger stripe" because people use cheap products and in many cases, you cant avoid the sun. Evening paint jobs look the best here. Thanks for your channel. You helped this master carpenter get his custom carpentry jobs looking pro!

This is like super troopers where they pull the people over and say rabbit fer

2, 5/15s. Good idea. I typically use a 6/21 for exterior.

again, very inspiring Sir! regular viewer, South London, U.K👍

This guy is the best.

I use a little plastic to keep my hands clean when straining. Super easy. Even a latex/nitrile glove helps. I also have been using a big plastic shower cap thing from Sherwin Williams with a hole cut into it to cover my five gallon or one gallon buckets. My dad has been cutting those lids like that forever (30+ year pro painter) but i think my way works a lot easier. They also make much easier lids these days so you could even cut or drill out a hole in that.

thank you for your help

HANDS DOWN THE BEST REFERENCE/HELPFUL ADVICE FOR ANY ONE OF YOU THAT WANTS A QUALITY PAINT JOB DONE RIGHT🤜🏻

Thanks for all the vids. Binge watching them all. A question about pausing. What to do with the sprayer when waiting the dry time for second coat?

Appreciate all the informative videos bro. I always catch something new and very useful in your videos. Keep up the good informative work. And liking the merch.

Hey Chris! Always appreciate your videos, man! Is there a rule of thumb on when it's necessary to primer the entire exterior prior to painting?

Love your channel! Should I thin latex for spraying? Do you have a video on paint recommendations?

Damn! You are wealth of information! And like the idea of laying out three ladders in a row before spraying. I'm glad I found your channel before my cabin solo paint job. Do you a video on boom lifts? My place is super tall (12:12 pitch) on a grade and has lots of glass so ladders may be precarious.

It’s spitting because its the glidden. I used glidden on Exterior HomeDepot I use to spray all of them on longisland one thing I notice about glidden is the color fades extremely fast within 2 years the paint job looks very very dull the worst fading paint by far it looses it sheen after a year and Becomes very spotty then starts loosing its color, I paint high risers in NYC love the channel brings me back when I painted homes, favorite paint I keep it simple Regal everything to be safe superspec is the lowest I’ll go lol

Great tips,just wanted to know is there faster way to paint the trim

I received the Sprayer Saver from your shop a few weeks ago and I love it! It really helped to get the last bit of paint out of the bucket.

Great video Chris, I really appreciate the info and detail you always provide. My question is around the number of coats of paint to use and do you often put a second coat on the jobs you're working or do you dial up the settings and dump more paint on the target so you're finished in one pass? Thanks, Tom

Great video, what did you think of the glidden premium exterior paint... Thinking of using it soon.

As everyone has said thanks for your videos. I noticed when you had the two heads on you were doing about a 75% over spray. You didnt seem to be moving any faster using the dual head as you do with the single head. So was that intentional for proper coverage? I noticed this when you were doing the porch ceiling . Thanks Again

When I'm in a ladder and I need to have a starting point in the middle of a bord I make a fast loop instead of a square stop to have a random ''zipper''' overlap.

You’re the best

Which airless paint sprayer do you recommend for inside and outside if that make a difference

Do you always spray the soffit above the same colour as your wall?

Questions: I’m using a graco x19 pro with a 50’ hose and a 515 tip and spraying walls and ceilings with SW Duration Matte. Do I have the right tip for the job? How much should I thin the paint? I’m going to be using a want too but not sure what size yet (I’m short, so I was thinking 40”)

Just found your channel and thanks for all the good advice. I have an older graco PT2500 I'm trying to find a obsolete part for 218-727 and called graco, they said I'm not going to find it. Don't think I'll be buying graco anymore. What would you recommend for a diy home painter? Thanks again.

So much appreciation for you and your vids!! Curious what you charged for this job? Just getting started and doing a friend’s house for an hourly rate plus supplies and small tools to keep for myself.

How do I know if I need to thin my paint before using my airless sprayer?

How do you control the spray mist when there is no wind blowing from affecting other completed parts of the walls/ceiling ?

hi how do you keep your paint sprayer and parts clean?

Straining it also aerates the paint so it’ll flow smoother.

Good job... Im painter from Indonesian...

Ahh I like the bucket tipper thing. I used a lid today for one. I should make a vid of the job I am on tomorrow for ya. And I hear ya on th neck pain thing. My whole neck is fused front and back and I have occipital neuralgia for life :-(

Just curious, how many gallons of paint went on that house? Single coat?

Hey Chris, bang up job on the video as always. Question: When can you and when can't you get away with NOT back rolling after spraying? My guys always tell me spraying without back rolling is bad.

I've never seen you back brush or roll? how do you touch up if you dont back roll or brush?

Hi Chris which tool pack u wearing?

How long do you have to paint to get that bicep vein?

When to use paint primer mix or just paint

Is it bad to start painting the side of a house from the bottom up? I wanted to start before the cardboard shield holder I ordered from your store comes.

you have to get your hands dirty BEFORE YOU EVEN START HAHA that make me laugh!!!

Hola para la pintura vinilica que boquilla de graco puedo manejar

Buenisimo

Can you use that T5 with SW Duration? Thanks for video!

I am just getting into spraying and was wondering if you have to thin down all paint do you have a certain guideline you go by. Thanks and God bless brother

what kind of strainer do you use

Either you haven’t a lot of videos on this one house, or all Idaho homes look the same! Lol.

When painting a door or gutters you recommend a 310 tip. Is this using the same exterior paint, like Superpaint, that recommends .15-.19 or are you choosing a different paint in the same color with different specs?

Hi, Chris. Quick question, maybe it shows in your masking video, but I see you’re running the paint onto the white trim and from the video it looks like the tape is only set to cover the windows. And as I’m typing this I saw the shot of you on the roof with a brush. Is it just that much easier to hand paint and touch up the trim with the brush just so you can rock through the big surface area stuff with the sprayer without having to waste much time taping up the trim? Or what is your process with that/your idea behind that? Thank you in advance. I appreciate the time you put into these videos. They’ve helped me avoid so much of the trial and error phase when I bought my sprayer and was able to start painting with lots of veteran know how even as a novice

I've never seen it explained if 2 traditional coats are ever done with a sprayer (like a cross hatch) or if the 50% overlap is considered 2-coats. Thoughts?

I'm changing a dark trim to white. If the base color is lighter, will it "prime" the dark trim enough when you spray the base coat or do you need to officially prime the trim with a tinted primer before changing it to white? Thanks for the series.

any tips on spraying block primer?

On those stop points in the middle of the field is it a good idea to get in the practice of lifting up or backing off as you approach those points to lighten the paint application there?

Chris, looks like you're OK with not back brushing on this job. Are there times when you would back brush behind your sprayer?

Im looking to buy a nice used paint sprayer, where is a good place to look?

What’s a good brand of paint/stain that you would recommend for painting interior brick?

How would you go about painting a good size home that has a eggshell latex but has stained trim, fascia, shutters, doors? I want to spray but seems like it will be more work to cover everything.

I usually wear a rubber gloves when I strain the paint. Same when caulking...

Unfortunately I am based in South Africa and most of the products you use I cannot find in this Country and if I have to import the products it is very princely with our exchange rate but I love watching your videos they are very informative thanks

Great video , how were you not getting spits when using a long extension

Chris, if it was a complete color change would you have sprayed two coats? What your practice on that?

I noticed on your first pass you did vertical passes on the horizontal siding, then came back and did it with the "grain" horizontally on your second coat, is that your standard procedure?

Can you do a video on painting tall vaulted ceilings from a scaffold with a sprayer

I have a question. I just painted all of my walls semi gloss white. I hate it lol...Do I need to sand them to put another semi gloss color on top of that or can I just paint over it with another semi gloss color? They are currently white and I want to go light grey

i suggest you use a fine filter on your spray gun , that will solve the issue , just a tip to consider

I have a Graco 490 PC PRO.Great sprayer but if I want to do a small job that only needs a gallon or less it puts me in a panic. 50 feet of hose just about sucks gallon almost instantly and then the intake is sucking air. do you have a fix? I also have a Graco battery operated Ultramax but it does not atomize very well so I only uses it for priming. would like to use the 490 more often.

How many coats of spray paint is needed on the exterior of a house (I do get snow) ? Second question - Do you need to back roll immediately behind spraying?

hi. can I use this graco pump for spraying a flow coat paint?

Why is my company having me back roll when we use sprayers? Lol

I would be very interested to see a video on how to paint an Ombre wall with an airless paint sprayer.

I have a question for you have you noticed a difference between the Glidden paint from Home Depot and the actual Glidden paint?

How can I get the Airless paint machine here in Nigeria

How long did your prep take on this exterior?

What is the smallest job you would use a typical commercial airless sprayer on? Like half a gallon? 5 gallons? I don't have experience yet with my sprayer. I'm thinking about how much paint waste, cleanup, etc vs time saved and quality of finish. I have some cabinets I would like to paint. I ended up painting them with a brush and small roller, but it took a long time, and I didn't like the finish quality. I'm a homeowner, with no plans to be a pro painter. I do plan to paint my home's exterior sometime soon as well. This is probably a no-brainer for using the airless sprayer.

Can’t find those pivot roof boots anywhere, had to use ladder hooks on a recent job in place of a roof boot

You should try a swivel-tip on your extension. It gets you off small ladders & increases your reach! We’d spot prime with finish paint the primer-sealer “spots.” Fear of “flashing!”

Proverbs 10:22 The blessing of the Lord maketh rich and addeth no sorrow

Sherwin Williams said their Super Paint doesn't need straining. Your thoughts?

any recommendations for 2 gentlemen wanting to start a painting business? Located here in San Antonio TX!

Do you ever show how you organize your van or paint vehicle?

Sherwin-Williams has that kind of extension or where I can buy it?

What is the estimate painting a house like that?
