would it work to change tires?

Great tip and ideas for how to paint properly. Well done.

is there any brand of flat paint that you could recommend as being better? Also would you suggest some kind of bonder? and/or flat primer

Vevor was incredibly supportive and helpful to me. When I opened the box I found they had gone out of their way to place not 1 but 2 PERMANENT kinks in the pick-up tube. Instead of packing the tube in a coil, they packed it in an S and made sure to stuff it down as hard as they could. What came out of the box was a Z shape. Thanks, Vevor. I feel special. Mike only got 1 kink. OK, getting serious, thanks, Mike. This is my first venture into airless; got a new length of picket fence and 130' to paint. Both sides. You not only saved me money on DIY but also gave me the tips to fix the shortcomings. Much appreciated. Next up; pergola and deck, then the neighborhood and beyond! 🤓

i use whatever brush is infront of me

No disrespect but i hear so many contactors living in California on KZfaq complaining about government there, but somehow, the same ones keep getting elected 🤔 🤷

What about the stucco ledge...caulk it the same?

Crate is a novel way to store cans then tie down...thanks.

Do you really have to crank down the nut holding the flat tip or can it be hand tightened

45 degrees, 1/2 the speed. Great technique ! I have some experience as a 'sprayman' ( more then 5 years ) doing this intuitively, but it was good to get the theory explained. Thanks Mike !

You are using the wrong type of paint or not giving it enough time to cure. Even if it ends up sticking, you can use parafin wax and rub it on the door seal. Problem solved. Some people are just lazy or like to take shortcuts. We get it. Gotta make a living. But reputation matters too. And this half assed method is bound to get you a bad wrap when someone’s friend or family member asks the home owner WTF they paid to have someone to paint “most” of their door. Its an eye sore.

Haha! Damn man I love your sarcasm from the start. So true though.

those are mostly trash. they get wet and its a noodle

very nice

Just got mine. Is a spot of gas hits the paint it starts coming off in seconds

do you get the finish of the fine finish tip with the flat tip?

How do we figure out what size flat tip to use (never used a sprayer going to buy the vevor 950) it's 259 bucks on amazon w/wheels Thanks love the video's p.s. it comes with 50 ft rubber hose Thanks Pat

Where do I get the Spray Tips for this gun?

Thanks Mike great video I was going to roll it but now I will spray !!

Amen! 😅

Spot on Mick see a lot of bad habits when people spray

Spot on Mick see a lot of

If you young guys listen to what this Man is saying and showing you in his videos, You'll probably save yourself 5 yrs. of aggravation and time , over the course of your career.

How much you charging now a days , these people are not tryna pay

did a house out near yuma this time last year. 118 by 3pm. money was too good not to commit. 5750 sqft 2 color single story 65/5 gallons. 5 days solo. would do it again if asked. serious cash off of the extended distance.

Maybe stop wasting your money on something you don’t like… joke

Thanks Mike! Your video was a lot easier on my ADD.

When you accidentally press that handle in it makes the shield almost useless it'll bend down the middle on you

I started using corflute because i didnt wanna buy new shields all the time. It goes much better. Havent looked back since using them and still on the same 3 pieces. Multiple jobs now… I got the 5mm thickness ones and just razor knifed the sheet to equal panels. Made sure they were level and to my preferred dimensions. They don’t drip (unless you water down paint too much) and you can wipe em right off or hose it off then rag it. Basically indestructible and the only shields you will ever need again…

Great video. Thank you. What sheen do you usually go with?

Dude just get to the point. Quit click baiting. Answer the question. How much water in paint and that's it. None of the extra commentary

what is the nut that holds the tip in place called? I appreciate the advice on using flat tips over reversa tips but more explanation of what the parts are called would be helpful. I found the flat tips, the flat tip housing and the filters but need the nut that holds the tip in place

Since this is lacquer base, will there be any compatibility issues with Clear coat and base coat system? Do we need epoxy primer over it before base coat is applied? How does this compare to a urethane 2k primer? I have a lip kit for my car I am looking to get re-done, but concerned that the primer will not hold up and there will be compatibility issue to my urethane top coats.

When you charge this light the light turned green when is 100% charge or it stay in red

On the Lamb's wool or even a 50/50 synthetic natural blend sleeve charge it up in water first then spin it out if you even have a roller spinner if not you know get creative with a wall or something it expands the fibers in the nap and holds more pain than delivers a better job.

As a homeowner learning how to paint, my main mistake when rolling used to be leaving too much on the wall and it would sag and look like ice cream. Eventually I realized if I backroll such that the roller made a hissing sound, it would take excess paint off the wall and give me a very light coat. Painting my own house, I'm OK if it takes 2-3 coats. I'd rather do another coat then have to sand down an overly thick coat. Maybe one day I'll be good enough to roll just the right amount of paint without hissing, but I'm not there yet and maybe never will figure that out.

Anyone for purdy colosseus covers?

So true never cover in one coat with a micro fiber

For those that are mad about this, would be very very surprised how many people that dont care about that or would even notice it. They dont think about it. They only care about how it looks when its down

Can you paint the vinyl door thermastrip?? If so what type of paint you recommend. Thanks

lol what a dumb ass!

Obviously paint is gonna come off eventually. That's just part of life. The wood will rot eventually, too. How long would you give soffit and eaves painted with basic cheap Zinser primer and then with the Behr opaque "stain." I have at least 50, if not 80% peeling paint on the shed I'm painting, and those are the products I chose. Do I need to go all the way back to wood, or just peel the junk off and plan on another fun summer day with the Ole paint roller in 5 years? Will I get more years out of stripping it down with the heat gun?

🤯 for a moment I thought I was watching a video in rebuilding my vw engine I recognize the voice 🙌🏽 great job Mike new subscriber now

Thank you for this extremely valuable information. Guys when someone with 30+ years experience is trying to help save you frustrations with spraying. Listen, utilize, and appreciate. Thanks again for your time and generosity.

Excelente video y muy bien explicando. Tengo un Vevor igual,he visto gente que lo limpia con amoniaco diluido en agua por el circuito, que le parece? Yo lo limpio con agua

Mike I kid you not, that thing is a work horse, people sleep on these pumps

I have a Graco X5. The same pump as this Vevor. I cannot believe how long it has lasted me. I kid you not I've done atleast 20 full exteriors. Stained an insane amount of fences for a bunch of duplexes back to back. Painted several boat docks, I've even sprayed several sets of cabinets, the entire exterior and interior of my personal house. It is still working like a charm. I truly can't believe it. I also run 75 ft of hose on it which the guy at Sherwin who sold it to me said was too much hose lol.

Too long of an explanation man!! Wasted my time and hardly learned anything

I like the same gun you like, i have used all of the guns there and the silver is the best.

Unfortunately i cant buy the flat tips in europe. Would have been great! Great mod.
