Hi, so do you recommend spraying a lighter coat and always back rolling the paint with 3/8 nap roller? What if you are dealing with a level 5 smooth finish ceiling, and you want to put an eggshell sheen in the kitchen /dining room connected area. Will back rolling give you lap marks? Or is the fact that you sprayed the paint on in a fast fashion, help lesson or eliminate that. Lastly, whether just spraying or spraying and back rolling, is one nice spray coat sufficient?

+The Idaho Painter Did you ever make a video about touching up a sprayed wall after wall repairs/dings?

I wonder how much painting the rep has done?

That’s why I came to you because I trust what you say more. I just want to make sure I’m doing the right thing when they start making me second guess myself.

He's very inconsistent.

+The Idaho Painter awesome, thank you! I'm sure covering the floors and ceiling will take 3x as long as the actual painting haha.

LOL!

Home Improvement How To's ha ha I've edited it incase confused.. predictive text made a right mess of the words ha ha ha

We never use gloss, we use satin and we always roll if the customer is living in the house

You can spray on every step plastic off all furniture 2 wide paper on floor below trim but always especially with any kind of gloss/satin backroll walls and ceilings as well unless their flat maybe eggshell... these are my rules becuz I'm a one man crew... My procedure goes patch holes caulk always 1st throughout area take as many doors off as possible scissors in middle of 1 or multiple rooms if possible mask doorknob and hinges spray them and as much of trim possible as well as casings then day 2 mask doorways n trim sand spot prime with wall color hit walls 2 coats backroll... Day three drop plastic hit the lids {ceilings} reassemble what you were able to get done then repeat process my only exception is walls in bathrooms and around cabinets/backsplash area brush n roll! I 90% of the time never get uninhabited repaints and never do new construction nor do work 4 contractors the pay they offer is SLAVE labor and I make triple doing repaints as well as my only employee being a handheld and wheelie Graco sprayer!! Must say exteriors is where the cheddah is at me a masker my wheelie Graco some drop clothes and 3 extension ladders and my short pole with roller and only use Sherwin Williams Super paint... PEOPLE think I'm crazy for backrolling exteriors unless it's hardiplank but the coverage and even coats I achieve are second to none brush n roll eaves n trim.... If anyone wants to know how to make all the MONEY that's how I take longer but my quality is far better and there is not 1 painting job I can't do by myself!

No, but good idea!

I know it’s a year old but typically you’ll do one coat of primer and two coats of finish on walls. You can do one coat of primer and one coat on the ceilings though with spot priming, depending on your scenario. I do a lot of commercial jobs and new construction/remodels, you don’t have to pull your tape in between coats. It depends on what surface you’re taping to, how long the tape is going to be there and stuff like that. We don’t have the time or luxury to mask more than once, so we do it once and get it all done then pull it soon after. If you leave it too long it’s hard to get off. If you’re a painter i’m sure you’ll have learned this stuff by now.

More paint, and keep a wet edge. Still when spraying you may get some

Try some floetrol just a hint of water n keep the wet edge, here in so cal it gets hot flashes a lot if I don’t adjust the paint

Install the trim first

For new construction, primer all walls and ceiling. Next would be to install then paint trim. Then paint walls and lastly ceiling?

Paint Life TV in this video there is no trim yet installed? Is there a way you can quickly spray trim once it’s installed even thought your walls are already finished?

I find that if you spray the walls with sealer before the ceilings the walls are much much smoother than if you do the ceilings first

+The Idaho Painter Do you use a brush along the corners near the ceiling as well, or just roll as much wall as possible?

tape and paper

Yes, that's a way to do it!

somebody forgot to sand (you or finishers)

@@immeohmyoh Ummmm...... No... what else you got?!

Yes, but just get some 12" paper instead of 9" paper if you are concerned about your technique.

increase 1/3 over standard 400sqft/gal. so call it only 300sqft/gal.

Don’t have to mask upside down

Thanks for representing & for all the support!

Could be, just watch your pressure. Might be easier to just roll the walls though.

Way overkill, 12" is good with appropriate pressure, kickback and ventilation.

So, I cannot recall the exact color

Paint Life TV ok thanks I understand it’s hard for you to remember after painting so many houses , that is the exact color I want but I can’t find the code I bought 3 diferentes paint colors and is not the same , keep doing your videos I actually painted my whole house wt all your tips , any idea what I can get close to that color ?

@@fidelfernandez3006 if you can pull the metadata from the video, maybe you can find the gps coordinates, then you can visit the tenant, and politely ask for a chip to scan, or have them mail you one.

Depends on the quality of paint and the color

I have this question as well. You do one coat only or are you remasking for the second coat?

I like Sherwin Williams 950a

Joshua I represent a commercial painting company in the DC area. The best Quality / Price product sherwin William has is Promar 200. Its not as cheap as 400 and not as expensive as other high end products. Trust me, the paint will not come off for a good number of years

Thanks

I agree. I spray promar 200 on almost all the homes we do. It's a great paint for the money.

Cool. Thanks for the response

There are a lot of factors that determine whether or not we back roll

We find that backrolling the *finish* coat is all we really need to do. I know plenty of guys that don't even do that and their work still looks amazing. As the poster of the vid said, there are many factors to consider. My personal opinion is anything above a dead flat (matte, eggshell, satin - etc.) should be back rolled on finish coat to help out with touch ups, but that certainly doesn't guarantee success. Enamel wall paints are very unforgiving on touch ups, especially in rooms with lots of light.

why would you be using enamel paint on walls? I dont think we have ever used it on a wall??

Only under certain circumstances

Dang

Yes
