Thank you so much. If you need any help, just let me know and I'll try to give u some pointers. Are you spraying or rolling?

Hahaha, right! No doubt, Thank you so much for the nice words , I really appreciate it 🙏 Thanks for the comment 👍

Yes, no doubt! I appreciate it 🙏 you are absolutely right, when we are running the extension wands we try to not start and stop and just keep it flowing 👌 nothing worse than a big ole spit on a beautiful wall

ya, I just meant spraying on this one brother. Problem is, with this texture it drinks the paint so we would have to roll 2 to 3 coats and by that time we could just shoot it and be done. I know the masking seems crazy, but out here it's the only way we can do these kind of projects in under a day. thanks for the comment 💪

Yes, that is how I was raised as well, we always backrolled everything, out here no one does it, and none of the builders or clients like the stipple it produces! Back rolling definitely helps out on touch ups and evens out walls, but out here it's an extra and it's rare we get asked to do it. thanks for the comment 🙏👍

Same and not only does it help spread the paint, it helps paint adhesion.

Yeah thats insane

Thank you so much 😚

Muchas gracias!

thank you so much, so with this type of texture....2 reasons....1 it soaks in our pva like crazy, and 2 when we spray the wall and go into the 90 degree angle, if our corner is already wet, when we go to the corner and start on the other wall our ovwrspray melts into the already wet corner and we are left with nice and smooth walls and smooth corners👊🙏

@@PaintBoss thank you so much for your response I’m always trying to learn more and really appreciate you answering on an old video 🙏

I think we ended up using about 23 gallons 👍💪 thanks again for the comment!

@@PaintBoss How many gallons would be needed if you rolled it?

I would say if we were to roll this out we would be closer to 15 gallons or so., you definitely blow through more paint when spraying 👍👊 thanks for the comment

@@PaintBoss How do you handle having to explain to your customers the extra paint cost vs rolling? I'm sure it must come up for you some times, even on nicer houses. What % of the time do they talk you back down into rolling to save on paint (though it saves on labor), even if it's only five or ten clients out of a hundred..? There are those older customers who've been around and are used to rolling calculations, and younger ones trying to save on initial capital outlays, and others who might be overly environmentally conscious... Do you always win the discussion when you want to spray? or do you sometimes give in...

@@immeohmyoh I used to build high-end custom homes. Many of total construction budgets were in excess of $8,000,000. I’ve never had any client critique the process. They’re only concerned with the total cost and the final product outcome. The clients you want to work for aren’t the ones that are going to tell professionals how it should be done. You should always aim to put out the best product you can, raise your prices, and definitely avoid clients that are going to even think they know how it should be done.

🤷🏼‍♂️On the finished sheet rock?

I know, I know....i wish I could, however I have yet to find a goggle or glasses that don't fill with overspray dust really quickly and can't keep us seeing what we're shooting 😔, if u know of anything let me know and I would love to try out! my eyes would thank you for sure!

Its a clean shot😉

Oh. 621.

Hello there, yes I agree. Here we call it sun valley or hand texture. It can go on at the request of the clients, being a garage, this was what is known as a "heavy" sun Valley to cover any imperfections on the walls. My favorite is a light sun valley, very clean. You are right though, it is a regional thing, making its way through the pacific northwest and moving east now. Thanks for the comment.

Hello there, well it would depend on how many times you would use the 695. if it is more than a one time use, then for sure get the bigger pump. However, if it is for a job or 2 you definitely could use the 595, you would just need to spray a tiny bit slower, but it could handle it for sure! let me know if you have any questions

@@PaintBoss could a Graco X5 handle this much volume?

Hey for sure! By no means do we do this in 20 minutes...It was more of a test to see how long it actually took us to spray this pretty large garage💪👊 We definitely had a couple hours of masking time for 2 or 3 of us. we just plan on 1 day, start to finish in any garage from 1,000 to 2,000 sqft. thanks for the comment 👍🙏

what preparation ????/

I know right! It took some getting use to for me as well! I'm originally from Southern California so I only saw level 5 smooth wall or orange peel...but this stuff out here looks really nice when painted, in houses it's not too much texture but still hides the imperfections 💪

I would say very close to that number especially for 1200-2000 Sqft. depending on location but a solid days pay (gross profit) if it takes under 10-12 total man hours for completion with 1-2 craftspeople and maybe an apprentice and this is only if client is purchasing the paint, 23 gallons and labor can eat up profits fast. Cheers, Derek

I know...it was crazy, I cant remember if it really was or more like 25g. it was a 18 year old garage, and the sheetrockers threw up new hand texture really heavy, and it just drank it! plus we do love to flood it😅 thanks for the comment 👍

@@PaintBoss so for a 23 year old stucco exterior, maybe around 1900-2000 sq ft, how much paint would you say it calls for. No prior work done, this would be first repaint in 23 years. Vegas heat just faded it lol

No doubt, she is going to drink it up. if it is a 2 story, and you are shooting it I would probably start with 15 maybe 18 gallons. If you spray your going to have some waste, but if you are just rolling it you could probably get away with a little less, but start there around 15 to 18 and that should get u started. If the stucco is heavy it will take more paint as well. good luck and let me know if you have any other questions 😊

Hey no doubt! all the time is in the masking..I was timing the guys to see how long it would take to actually shoot this good size garage 💪👊
