Tim,I was a decorator for 50 years and If we had a lot of doors to paint, we would use a mini roller to prime and undercoat (and not lay off,) and then we would use the mini roller for the finish coat and sometimes lay off with a brush depending on the type of timber, door etc..Also when I was an apprentice, I was taught to always pour the paint from the back of the tin, so as not to cover up the paint label on the front. It seems that spray equipment has come on leaps and bounds since I first sprayed portaflek in the seventies.Excellent job as always!

I've actually started to enjoy painting doors and trim since discovering water based gloss. It's a joy to work with.

Hi, well done, how anybody could of thought that adding an overpanel to this style of door in the past was the way to go is beyond me but that is how it was. Keep up the good work and stay safe.

Hi Tim, a tip on those adjustable pliers you use at around 8:40 - 8:45. Don't use em like that, turn them around. You will feel the difference in grip. If you have to squeeze tight and then pull the pliers round you will loose grip due to the pliers wanting to open up. If you squeeze the pliers, then push them round you will increase grip due to the pliers closing for you. (Former plumber here). The doors look great!

The method of standing them all with the single piece of wood was genius.

I subscribed to this channel after looking at a 400 year old property that needed restoring. Over two weeks, I watched a lot of the videos and bought a new build but still following this along to see where you get to. Will the restoration couple ever become the restored couple? Find out next week...or the week after... or the week after that.... :)

Tim, I've never seen skirting done so easily or so well, I'd be on my knees for days and sore for weeks. Awesome work and the doors are not too shabby

Nice setup for getting them done all at the same time!

any chance you can do a video on how you clean and store the graco. would be nice to see what other people do.Just got an ultramax and a wagner 350M. nice video keep up the good stuff.

Really good attention to detail as always Tim, a true diy master. 👍

Spray. You dedication to finish is unparalleled. Even with the touch up / traditional finish augment. Quicker to take the door off, into the workshop than brush touch up I dislike painting more than sanding though, that bad, so am biased 🙂

I spent hours doing a house with of doors by hand, one side at a time. This sprayer is a game changer.

Love your choice of brushes, I've been using Wooster brushes for years and have even bought some direct from the USA

Really enjoyed the explanation part of the video. Keep them going please !

You do incredible work. Looking great. Spray versus brush, I gotta say spray every time!

Spraying all day long for me , I love my Graco.like you say Tim,where they are going the light is more forgiving , so any touch would not be noticeable, great video mate 👍

Beautiful job

Hello Tim, please may you tell me what tip you used for this project? It looks very nice! 👍🏻

Great video, I always use Owatrol Floetrol in any water based paint brushing now, so much easier.

Brush finish, spot on.

Great job and another quality video. Try Paint shed next time. I have long give up on my local trade paint stores charging crazy amounts for mixing trade paint. I feel your pain of carrying on working into the night on your own home.

Tim, enjoying your endeavors round the house and especially this episode on the door restoration. Renovating a 1930s house at the minute myself and decided to check behind the plywood cover on the doors to also find the original doors which i'm also going restore rather than skip them! can i ask what colour did you use?

That paint gun is excellent. Want one!

Moving into a new house at the moment, it's a newbuild which im kind of bummed out about, been honing all your knowledge ready to move into an older house xD

Tim, give the door a light rub with a wet cloth before brushing, it is a lot easier and gives you more time to work with it 👍

Great job there,i would have been tempted to use a stain blocking primer on the doors just in case of any bleed through or knotting that might occur later on especially with older doors,this basically stops any resins in the natural wood from coming through to the paint finish,water based paints are normally not great at holding this back without a stain block primer,spraying is the way to go i think and beats a brush finish all day long i think

Well done. I prefer the natural wood; however; few doors are painted as beautifully as yours.

They look amazing and the colour is excellent! Let me know where you get your energy from and I'll buy a barrel or two! ;)

Quality video tim really enjoyed that, nice set up to get the job done, I was wondering if its possible to spray then put in the brush lines, would have saved a lot of time. I'm so tempted to get a graco sprayer lol 😀

Tim, love your channel, you've been a great source of knowledge and inspiration. I'm just about to do the same job you did here, same Graco, but I am unsure what size tip/tips to use - any advice?

Love the video I have the same sprayer could you please let me know what tips you use for your projects as I seem to struggle to get the same finish as yourself

Hi sir I notice you haven’t put any sealer on the wood knots , it can stop the resin bleeding through over time . The product is called as the name suggests knotting . Best wishes and kind regards. 😃👍👍👍

Nice colour

Hi Tim love your work. Just ordered an ultra,what tip did you use please? Scrolled all comments & can’t see

What size spray tip did you use and what pressure did you have the dial set to for the primer and eggshell? I have recently bought a Graco ultra, awesome bit of kit for smaller spray jobs like these 😁

what colour is that? Absolutely love the shade.

Love watching you videos what primer do you use when painting your MDF skirting with the airless sprayer👍

Where did you get the sprayer from, works great

Hi Tim is that uk Graco unit and where could you get one Thanks Andrew

hi i have been watching your video's for a while ... with the sprayer you are useing ... would you ever buy a bigger refill cup the 1.25 litre?

I think I prefer them as messy timber than painted 😁

I’d love the choice to use a spray gun at work but far too much over spray as all the doors we do are hung , said that me and my mate can gloss out a 3 bedroom house in under 4 hours ... 1 on the doors 1 on the facings then both do the skirting boards that way you’re not picking up any dirt or dust on your brush doing a full room at a time

Great video Tim! What’s the colour you used? Looking really nice! Sprayers are great as I found I’m out when I did my 50 fence panels last year. Not cheap though! Take care. Marc

We call skirting boards base mounding here in the US

I'd spray if ever I had to paint a four bedroom house again, I don't want to see another brush. But yeh it does look good mate.

Back on the doors!!!

What respirator is that?

Quick question as to why you primed before filling the holes and putting the block in the old lock casing hole? Be good to know if there’s a benefit to this as I would’ve thought you’d want to prime over the filler as well so it’s less likely to show through the finish coat?

The more I see you spraying, the more I like it! EDIT: I just saw the price of the sprayer, I like it less now :) great if you're doing a whole house however.

Where did you buy the graco sprayer. Can't seem to get them on amazon or ebay without them coming from the US,

What happened to the new Wagner you used a few months ago? I'm curious as to why you invested in this new sprayer.

I've been very impressed with Brewers own brand Albany.

That video was like watching paint dry .

You're a machine Tim

I once painted ALL my doors, in the garden, at the same time. Forgot to mark which door went where, took longer figuring out where each door went back than it did painting them 😂🤔🤭

Did he say what colour that paint was? nice grey that!

Wait... did you say just under 100 pounds for a gallon of paint? That's $140ish US... seriously, holy crap thats outrageous! I think the most expensive common paint is less than $50 US... I do not envy that pricing at all!

I struggle with water based Gloss.

Why not do all the filling before you apply any paint,or is it easier to see all the holes after the undercoat..🤔

I hate brush strokes so sponge rollers is for me.

Just one glass of wine drunk? 🤔 haha

Sad to see you overpay for so many things in England. Same bucket of paint is about $40 English pounds here in Canada. You folks deserve to be treated better. A man of your abilities would make a fortune in Canada. You're very self motivated and great at what you do. I've been a painting contractor for 35 years.

jesus man.... buy a filling knife... TUT, TUT, TUT.

Who uses Dulux Trade. The most expensive ever. Skill builder slating them the other day. 😆

So to confirm... The best way to paint doors is get you to do it? Great. I'll drop mine off, cheers

Great video as usual, however, as a carpenter I am not keen on you using a chisel as a filler knife

No need to treat the knots?

6months and all the mouldings and joints will "burst"
