This is my first income property and applying new paint goes a long way, but it costs a lot! I was curious how much does it cost to get your house painted and I found out that for my 1,500 square foot house, most professional painters quoted $3,500-$4,500. I was able to save $3,000 by painting the house interior myself with a Wagner airless sprayer even after paying for paint. This is DIY sweat equity. I've left links below to a couple helpful videos I learned from too! If you have tips for getting a spray finish leave them in the comments below! Thanks for watching - Mike

Hi, My name is Mike Montgomery and I'm a MAKER; a designer, builder, and full-time content creator. Accessibility is my focus with Modern Builds, not simply accessibility of designs, but accessibility in materials, information, and projects themselves. I've focused on creating furniture and DIY projects that are simple enough that any beginner maker can accomplish, yet interesting enough that any expert might be inspired. Building and making is becoming less and less of an exclusive hobby and profession. My goal is to reduce that separation even further.

Mike, I worked as a Home Depot paint associate for a few years, that BEHR Premium Plus paint is definitely water based, not oil so you got the right stuff. The Satin “enamel” is just referring to the sheen. Anything beyond flat/matte is just considered to have a more durable enamel coating.

@lindacgrace2973

Just a pro note on paint types.. My husband and I worked his way through graduate school as painting contractors. Enamel refers to a paint with a high level of solids (thus, very opaque) that levels out well for painting furnishings and trim. You can get latex based or oil based enamels. Enamels usually comes in satin, semi-gloss and gloss finishes. Satin is much more likely to be latex-based than oil-based simply because it is difficult to formulate oil paints with low gloss or matte finishes unless they are thinned like exterior stains. Flat is pretty much reserved for latex paint where it excels.

Mike just a suggestion, Layout wise, I honestly think the wall where you want to put the closet is the best wall to put the bed instead. It doesn't block the window and most importantly, the fartherst from the door.

@daveknott4563

I recall when you did your small build of the shop when you first used the sprayer. Full circle - keep it up. I believe that was 2 years ago.

@maristuginski

Looking better and better, great job always!

@scienceguy2694

Hey Mike got a tip for you, For the paint runs a good way to see them again is to take a marker and put a dot or two on the run and It is taken away with the sanding but it makes things a lot easier to see, or if you are concerned about bleeding you could use a thumbtack

@sheenamackenzie9888

Stunning! White over everything!

@Wagner-Spraytech

It's so worth it to Do-It-Yourself! We're glad you had the Control Pro 170 to get the job done. Nice work, Mike!

@bryanschnell3510

you should have included the time it took to change the paint and reprime the machine for a more accurate time on how long it would take to do a room

@JayTea025

I've seen some ppl will back roll with a roller after spraying to get the seamless look

@GinoVee

It's coming along and looking great! Always look forward to your videos, man!

@Wordsnwood

I hope you're budgeting for some new glasses in this build as it looks like yours are getting destroyed! 😎

@jerrywoodlee2345

Looks great 👍 That was fast.

@fbdowntown21

So I think someone may have already commented this but a super pro move is to either right after spraying too back roll the wet paint with a roller or have someone else go through and do it.

@Dominiquenicole_93

I hope you do countertops. I'm trying to learn how to do it myself.

@modelmanjohn

I wonder if alternating directions vertical/horizontal spraying on each coat would help with the striping you got after the first overnight drying.

@tayred81

Nice job Mike 🤟🏻💙

@sidirevecordova

Looks great 👍

@lovropeternel3988

I have a small granny house on my property that I rent out. The renter I had just moved out after 12 years. Omg do I have my work cut out for me. Seeing this video is making me wanna try painting it myself. Thank you
