DIY Painting New Construction: Dad and I primed and painted all the new drywall in the house. We used the Graco Magnum X7 Airless Paint Sprayer with a 515 tip. Since it was new sheetrock, there was a lot of prep work involved. I dusted all the walls and ceilings with a broom. Then I vacuumed the floors to get rid of drywall dust so it didn’t kick back up into the new paint. I masked all the doors, windows, and exposed beams. Then we primed the walls and ceilings with Kilz Drywall Primer, which seals the new uncoated drywall. Then Dad painted the ceilings with Valspar Ultra Ceiling Paint. After the ceilings were dry, I masked them at the edges so we could paint the walls. Next, we painted the finish coat on the walls with Valspar Ultra - Eggshell, in the color Gravity.
We are not professional painters or experts, but we managed to get good results from this project. We painted before the floors were installed or the trim work finished, so we will probably have to do a lot of touch-ups after all the finish work is done.

God Bless the old man for his love of his daughter to help to that extent moving around like he was still 40. as a painter i do not recommend the constant changing between horizontal swipes and vertical ones. its best to be more consistent with even swipes in 1 direction (either horizontal or vertical) with exception for some odd areas but all in all consider yourself lucky to have such a loving caring father and him to have such a great relationship with his daughter... God Bless you both

Great to see how this pump is working. But next time you use it walk from corner to corner while you're spraying to give an even layer of paint - by standing in one place you create a lot of overlaps ... emulsion is very forgiving when you do it like that but it still looks much nicer when you do it in one even flow. Great to see you guys working together.

Ok so when I painted apartment units we would spray ceilings then straight to walls with about 1/4 fan overspray on ceiling then instead of masking the ceiling we would mask the wall with 12 in paper and do a quick perimeter touch up, it's super helpful if you have popcorn ceilings or really high ceilings making walks way easier great video

Thanks for the video of the X7. I am trying to decide between the X7 and the 190PC model. Can you tell me how many coats you did on the walls and ceiling after priming and have you used the sprayer since? Did it work well after it was stored?

@CountryGirlLiving 3 жыл бұрын

We did one coat of primer and one finish coat. We have not used that sprayer since. But we will use it again to paint the exterior in a few months. It comes with a solution that you are supposed to put in it when you store it. So that should help it store well.

@CountryGirlLiving 3 жыл бұрын

The paint and primer are holding up good. We painted before we did the floors or any of the trim, so we have banged the walls up some while doing that. We will definitely have to do some touch ups before we move in, but I think that is normal. Otherwise it still looks good!

@Ricebow11 3 жыл бұрын

@@CountryGirlLiving how did you handle the corners? I just got mine and it leaked so much from the handle area, cleaned it up and finally work but the prime I used kilzone 2 was runny, not sure if it was the primer paint type but definitely disappointing, gonna try it again

@CountryGirlLiving 3 жыл бұрын

@@Ricebow11 On the corners we sprayed floor to ceiling to get a good coat on corners, then stayed the surrounding areas. If it was leaking from the handle, you probably didn't have it tight enough. Used wrenches to tighten it down. I haven't ever tried kilz 2. But the kilz drywall wasn't thick or runny, kind of in between

@ferociouswolf3493 Жыл бұрын

Ok I'm a professional painter and one thing you don't want to do is put a wrench on your tip guard like you did. Just hand tighten it and that is all or you run the risk of damaging the seal in them and trust me you don't want to damage that seal. Otherwise a great video love seeing people masking things like they should. You would be surprised at how much of my business is because the home owner calls me after trying to use a sprayer and realizing they messed up. Good job doing it like you did.

Why did you sand after primer? Been considering getting a paint sprayer, is cost worth time saved?

@CountryGirlLiving 2 жыл бұрын

We sanded after the primer because there was still a little but of roughness to the drywall. Just a light sand of the primer took care of it and made the walls smooth. Is the cost worth the time saved?....Well, for us it was because we used if the the entire interior of the house, and will use it for the exterior of the house as well (this is where it really saves time). It worked well for inside because it was new construction and we didn't have to worry about it getting on the floors or on furniture. If you are painting interior on an existing house, I would probably just roll it. I think by the time you had to move all the furniture and mask all the windows, doors and walls, it would be faster to just cut and roll.
