How to paint a mural series: (What Primer do i use for street art murals?)

In this video I explain what primers I have used in many of my street art mural projects. Many of the walls and surfaces I have painted required primer. I'm going to share the primers that I have. I'm also going to share when I don't use primer because not every wall and surface requires primer.

Thank you for your videos! I was recently asked to paint a mural on the side of a building and I’ve NEVER painted a mural. 😬

I'm debating taking on my first mural... It's a place I frequent a lot so if I do this I really can't mess it up lol. Thank you so much for sharing all this, your channel is really gonna help me make an informed decision on whether or not I wanna do it, and if so, how to go about it.

I just spent 6 hours on a brick mural and it sucked! I used so much paint 🤦‍♀️ Really wish I had this video earlier lol. But the spray paint was awesome compared to paint from hardware store. You share great content! I’m a fan of your work 👏👏👏

@iamdetour 3 жыл бұрын

oohhh nooo! Brick sometimes sucks when its raw. definitely prime as much as you can to keep it from eating up all your paint.

@@iamdetour Really helpful. I'm just starting another mural project on two metal buildings. I'm so scared of the paint not sticking I had set my mind to using a primer... they are kind of beat up and not in great shape. I think I'll use a primer to be safe. I'm also thinking on buying a sprayer. I don't do murals on the regular but it's a 2200 sq foot space ... do you think the smaller hand held sprayer would work?

Hi! Your videos have been so helpful! I am doing my first outdoor mural art on existing painted masonry wall, and was wondering if you would typically wash and remove all the existing paint from it prior or just prime over it. THanks!

Do you have a video that focuses on how to paint a mural on rib galvalume metal walls?

Its not on that topic specifically but in this video i talk about the process of painting on the corrugated metal and why i priced it the way i did and the decisions i made because of the surface.

@@iamdetour thank you 🙏🏻 for your response. So I’m looking to take on my first job on corrugated metal. It’s what I would call a simple job for someone with your skill set. I was looking to use a projector but wondering what issues could come from the uneven surface…. I really would love to do a great job for the client and too see more work in the future, any suggestions help. Thanks again

Do you have any comparisons of paint longevity ?

@iamdetour 2 жыл бұрын

And I would say the longevity is based on the quality of the house paint that you get. I get external use paint so it is made for lasting outdoors. And when you get really good primer and helps to make it last even longer. Adding a topcoat also helps to protect it from the environment.
