I finally got to use the corana brush you recommended to me. I like it alot! I was using a Premier brand montauk brush that is considered a firm brush. However i was getting brush marks even with benjamin moore advance unless i used floetrol leveling fluid as an additive. I used the corana vegas with advance without floetrol and it layed down really smooth without any brush marks! Im extremely happy! I unfortunately wasnt aware of how the differences in brushes as far as how soft or firm would effect the outcome. Im still learning but atleast i seem to be learning the correct way. My painting results are getting better with time. Thank you for all the advice! 😊

That’s awesome my dude! I was also using a Corona Vegas with advance this week. It’s a solid combo 🤙

Worth it to use Floetrol to get additional working time? Was thinking of rolling it on super thick then using a brush after while its still wet to kinda flatten out that stipple

It depends on the product you’re using and your own speed. The method you’re describing is a common way to finish doors. Roll it on and then back brush it. If the door has a grain pattern to it, then I still prefer to just use a brush. But give it a go and see how it works for you.

@@SuperVassarBrothers Makes sense. Sounds good. My builder in our home sprayed all the flat paneled doors with SW Solo Semi Gloss. Ill probably slowly transition everything over to Emerald Urethane Trim as I am fixing imperfections and repainting. Love the channel. Thanks for always replying. Id definitely expect your YT Channel to grow substantially over time if you continue like this. Cheers.

Do you ever spray trim/doors or do you exclusively paint trim and doors with brush/roller? Do you find that most clients are preferring brushed over sprayed?

@SuperVassarBrothers 5 ай бұрын

I have sprayed a fair amount, but for the work we do we use mostly brush and roller. It’s less about what the clients prefer and more about what level of finish you can produce with each method. You can do a good or bad job with brush and roller and you can do a good or bad job with a sprayer

Thank you for your instructions. A question that I have is for MDF doors with grain surfaces like the ones you showed at 5:14 How do you prepare the door for painting when going from what seems to be oil based gloss paint (rubbing methylated spirits/ isopropanol alcohol on the surface did not remove any paint) to water based gloss paint? I have an oil based primer on hand but what about the sanding? I don't see how you can sand such a surface without loosing the grain pattern. Thank you.

@SuperVassarBrothers Ай бұрын

You can definitely sand doors with that grain pattern and not lose the pattern. Hand sand it with 150 grit sandpaper to scuff it up a bit. After that you have a few options. A lot of the hybrids like emerald urethane trim enamel or Advance from Benny Moore will grip to oil. If you’re using an acrylic then you may need to prime it with a bonding primer. There are some oil options like cover stain and shellac based like BIN would also work. Recently we’ve been having a lot of success with fresh start from Benjamin Moore. It’s 100% acrylic but it bonds with most surfaces.

@@SuperVassarBrothers Hey, thanks for the reply. Appreciate it. I've previously tried sanding already in a small area of the door, it's difficult to see but I did not see the valleys getting scuffed, only the hills. After your post I will try again but maybe with a sanding sponge. "Scuff it up a bit" is the operative word to understand through experience I suppose🤔 Thanks again.

Ok! I m here going over hundreds of ways to paint a front door and it can be mind blowing, it's a new door with glass insert, of cause with a smooth finish, I started to roll the paint on and did not like that either, so my question to you is there a way I can use spray can to get that nice finish and do you have a video on that as well? I am just a home owner who love to things around the home. thanks.

@SuperVassarBrothers 3 ай бұрын

I would not recommend using spray paint to paint you're front door. In my experience you're better off hand brushing a front door particularly if you're not experienced using a paint sprayer. Here's a video that you may find useful in that particular endeavor: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aNJiicKm1LzQcX0.html

What kinda roller do you recommend from Home Depot or Lowe’s on an exterior door using sw emerald urethane trim enamel

@SuperVassarBrothers 2 ай бұрын

You can use a 1/4 inch nap Wooster, or you can get some smaller wizzer rollers that use the small frames. Both work well for doors.

If you couldn't find a Corona Vegas brush, which brush would you buy? I cannot buy Corona brushes locally and don't want to wait for shipping.

@SuperVassarBrothers 5 ай бұрын

I’d probably get a Wooster or a purdy

Good morning I hope that you are able to advise me I am a wheelchair user and I have made marks on the bathroom door and need to paint repair it before moving out the door has a grain not sure what type of paint to use

@SuperVassarBrothers 12 күн бұрын

Usually doors are painted with a semi-gloss trim paint. Those are quite common. You may want to go with an acrylic because they're easy to work with. Duration Semi-gloss or Emerald Semi-gloss are good options from Sherwin Williams. If the door is white, then you can just use a the stock white from whatever paint manufacturer you go with. As far as the marks go, you can try scrubbing them with soap and water to see if you can get them off or part of the way off. Then I'd suggest painting the whole door. That's my take on it without seeing it in person. Good luck with your project!

Would be interested to see a video of you breaking down the corona brush line. Which brushes for what uses. I’ve used Wooster, Purdy and some other general paint store brand brushes and I never really liked any of them. I’ve always seen corona brushes at my local paint supply but kinda found it confusing to know what one to pick for what senerio. I saw in one of your other videos you said you really liked corona Cortez brush, so I went and bought it and man it was life changing.
