Thanks for making these videos. I keep a pen and paper handy to jot down all the tips. Only thing I would add to that system would be to spray the smaller doors first. Putting wider doors over the smaller limits the amount of overspray that could get on the doors you’ve already done. Great use of a small space!
Great set up... The only thing I would add for those watching is to always label the doors as you take them off. Usually on top edge to make it easier to put them back.
Great videos! I do it very similar. I like to use the zig zag method. Using 5 gallon paint sticks cut in half and nailing them on top similar to what you do but connecting them on the top edges of each door.
great videos! it would be cool if you showed a video of how you prepped that garage for painting. I think prep is the unsung hero of painting! Keep up the great work!
I started used the FFLP from Graco with a 516 on doors, the FFLP 208 on trim. Hardly any over spray and I leave my sprayer (Graco LTS17) on prime for the majority of all my painting now. You've helped me tremendously with all of your tips regarding molding, thought I'd share a tip (pun intended) with you! Happy new year!
Hey, thanks for making concise vidz bruh; I did a home improvement project at mom's after seeing one of your videos and it came out AWESOME! Stay Up my dudes; ONE! P. Roc*
I do doors like this quite a bit! Try out door-deckers if you get a chance. Super small footprint and you can do a TON of doors. Also, it's impossible to sag them out so you can get 1 coat coverage fairly easy.
You should use 2/11 o 3/11 spray tips to paint the doors have to be like VVV take off the extension on the sprayer. Turn down the pressure on the sprayer
Great video. To hell with the negative comments on here. But ask you’re local paint rep about some “fine finish, low pressure” tips for doors and trim. They double atomize the paint, making (the paint) finer and less granular. He may Comp you one, see how you like it. Graco makes them. Keep up the great videos man
Stand doors in a row end to end stagger nailing a board on top like a X connecting each in rows of 5. Or more like a zigzag. You can two coat without moving.
thanks for all the how to videos bro I'm starting my own crown business in my town and they help out a lot. so I have a question was it hard at first painting customers trim I want to do it cause it will give me more work I just lack the experience and do you always spray paint on trim?
sweet ive seen guys stick shims under the hinge side of the bi folds. your set up looks like the bees knees! One day im going to build up the courage to spray my doors. paranoid im going to ruin them. lol dont have much time on airless sprayer. mostly lacquer from hvlp. cool video!
Why do you spray the hinges. I know I don't like the hinges painted. I don't think it's that hard to remove the hinges and keep them looking nice. I guess unless they've been painted already in the past.
Hey man, I know a lot of people are talking trash about the tip, but just keep on learning! I bet all of those trash talkers learned by trial too. Seriously though, you should check out the fine finish tips and tip housing. They have a blue guard instead of the orange and come with green tips. They are nice with a second filtration in the tip, and they come in smaller sizes. I personally like a 315 or 415 for doors, and I get all that from Sherwin Williams.
Christopher Scott mate 90% of painters have no fucking idea what quality is if your spraying doors that can be straight up gloss finished your fucking chump and robbing your customers
thanks for the very informative video. i wonder if wooden doors need to be sanded and primed before before spraying. Out of curiosity, why are they not sprayed outside in an open space instead of a cramped interior space.
I place them in angle like making a V with enough space to walk, i painted 18 doors in a one car garage, 2 coats, i sanded the sides really well and pray them very careful, it may be easier to roll them, some needed 2 coats of primer 2 coats of paint, did the painting same day, not bragging, actually stole that idea from some other video here in youtube, i do not use extensions for my gun, but that's just optional, great job, i enjoy your wood working videos too
That tip is massive! 515? Try going down to a 310 or 410 at the BIGGEST. You're on the right track with your setup, but think about that overspray! If the doors behind the one you are spraying are already finished, you are going to end up with a sandpaper-like finish. Watch that overspray!
bob5466 just because you've been painting for 35 years doesn't mean you're doing it right. Get the same bullshit : 20+ years from my other painters, but their work is garbage
you missed the point lilone, I was agreeing with the maker of the video, The guy from Rise Painting was telling him to use a smaller tip, and my work is excellent. So try understanding what u read before you comment.
I use Zip walls and make a spray booth out of the garage if I needed to, but most times I taught my guys and girls to spray doors right on the hook. (especially 200 lb 8ft doors) An experienced sprayman trained well on leading edges can shoot those doors without the liability risks to both the painter and the door warpage possibilities from removing the doors. Tip size varies on the person pulling the trigger and what they are comfortable with, For oil the .411 FF are nice but the .5 is overkill for the fan width On the trim work we use the .211 (for oil) even if the doors are hanging, as you keep the overspray under better control this way. I learned how to spray with conventional sprayers (pressure pots and air) cup guns. Remember the old oil-cooled Graco 433 and 333's? How about the Binks Super Bees and The Hornets, There were no reverse tips back then and everything was "Flat tips" Before that it was all brush and roll using Ox-hair brushes and french window designs. When you nail the tops of the doors together like he did it's truly an accident waiting to happen because eventually the set up will collapse, (Been there Done that) Anyway wrong or right it's what works for him and we are not the ones to judge as I did it the same way many years ago and paid for my mistakes I am third generation painter/artist and come from the school of hard knocks as most of us old farts are. We never listened to other painters ourselves unless it came from our elders but never from outside of the family way.
What kind of sprayer is it again that you are using was a little hard to hear. A suggestion if i may list tools that you are using in the description of the video it would be great to have that info for us do it yourselfer's
That's great, but you are getting over spray on the doors behind and to the side. Per the distance, it will cause the doors in back to be rough and or show a haze.
Do you roll the top/bottom of the doors also, or just leave them primed? I've heard some hollow core doors can warp if the bottoms are left unpainted in bathrooms and basements.
Load of rubbish that I've never had a door warp because it wasn't painted. They put stickers on them to say that so they can get out of replacing it.. paint won't stop a door warping anyway...
AZ Paul I use at least a 10 inch extension EVERY time I spray. On standing doors like that it saves your back and legs a lot of repetitive strain. Way easier.
Does the overspray not make shit of the doors that are already painted? Looking to do the same on my own house and was wondering about the overspray ruining the already painted doors?
I know this is old but yea you need the blue tip with a 310 tip or if you are going to stick with the orange tip then use the 311. Your wasting massive amounts of paint and not getting a real fine finish on the doors
It can look quite nice when it's evenly sprayed like the rest of the door, I find. If it has years of old paint buildup on them then you have to paint over them anyway and some folks just prefer the -somewhat- seamless finish.
Good brush man can paint a door in 6 minutes leaves a better finish too. Time it takes to prep that up remove & reattach the doors & hardware doesn't add up....I appreciate the workmanship and thought process.
guthy ranker Who gives a fuck what YOU. Your just a RUDE RACIST ....you are not a very nice person WHY are you insulting this man... You dont even know who he is.....Amanda Perth WA.
only one coat needed when using quality paint. plus these doors are already primed. I roll the sides once the doors are installed. Everyone does things different. Take care.
dfw crown I guess. But if it was your own house i'd bet you put a second coat of paint on there. 1 coat doesn't isn't enough of a guarantee that it's 100% covered. If that primer was anything but white it would prove my point. thats all. I love your videos and you share some great knowledge. I just think in my experience 1 coat isn't enough.
HAVE NOT heard it addressed whether you paint the ends of the doors. Most SIDE SWELLING of doors are at the UNPAINTED ends of doors. This causes problems of BINDING and UNEVEN spacing around doors.
I would try to constructively teach a new way to plastic the ceiling, and how I stand up doors. Pre primed doors get prepped and reprimed and 2 top coats on a complete paint job. I secure the middle of the plastic to the ceiling from the top side, as it goes up, and it doesn't sag that way.
Thanks for making these videos. I keep a pen and paper handy to jot down all the tips. Only thing I would add to that system would be to spray the smaller doors first. Putting wider doors over the smaller limits the amount of overspray that could get on the doors you’ve already done. Great use of a small space!
my husband did the same thing and it works great thank you for your time and video.
Very well done! Thanks for the great videos.
Set them up in a z pattern with just enough space to spray all 4 sides
Great set up... The only thing I would add for those watching is to always label the doors as you take them off. Usually on top edge to make it easier to put them back.
Great videos! I do it very similar. I like to use the zig zag method. Using 5 gallon paint sticks cut in half and nailing them on top similar to what you do but connecting them on the top edges of each door.
Living your willingness to share your info!
Meant "loving". Dumb auto correct.
thanks! it's always fun sharing the info.
I admire your work and your technique greetings
Very good videos. You explain thing well and I always learn something new. Keep up the good work.
Nice setup, saves so much time spraying.
great videos! it would be cool if you showed a video of how you prepped that garage for painting. I think prep is the unsung hero of painting! Keep up the great work!
Michael Sloan preps half the battle often. ...
Seriously great idea to shoot a video of how you prepped the garage.
Do it!

I started to type a comment about door overspray, and then you answered. Nice job.
Love your videos. Glad I found your channel
Always good videos, thank you
Damn I was going to ask about the overspray , good job dude .
Hey, thanks for making concise vidz bruh; I did a home improvement project at mom's after seeing one of your videos and it came out AWESOME! Stay Up my dudes; ONE!
P. Roc*
good vídeos bro keeping busy from mx thanx
Ok, this is genius! THANK YOU!
Thanks for making this video
Great vids. How come the hinges are left on while spraying? Do they need to get cleaned before install?
I do doors like this quite a bit! Try out door-deckers if you get a chance. Super small footprint and you can do a TON of doors. Also, it's impossible to sag them out so you can get 1 coat coverage fairly easy.
A nice option if you have 2 people….
Awesome way to old the doors up vertically,to spray !!!!
You should use 2/11 o 3/11 spray tips to paint the doors have to be like VVV take off the extension on the sprayer. Turn down the pressure on the sprayer
RAC.....reverse and clean, I never knew the meaning! 🤪 thanks
Hi, great easy and simple Tutorial sir. Is there a certain pressure setting you use to spray interior doors?
Thank you for your mentoring
Great video. To hell with the negative comments on here. But ask you’re local paint rep about some “fine finish, low pressure” tips for doors and trim. They double atomize the paint, making (the paint) finer and less granular. He may Comp you one, see how you like it. Graco makes them. Keep up the great videos man
Are you not having any issues with dry spray on the door behind? Also, seems like you’re using a huge tip
Stand doors in a row end to end stagger nailing a board on top like a X connecting each in rows of 5. Or more like a zigzag.
You can two coat without moving.
thanks for all the how to videos bro I'm starting my own crown business in my town and they help out a lot. so I have a question was it hard at first painting customers trim I want to do it cause it will give me more work I just lack the experience and do you always spray paint on trim?

thanks! it's so easy . the hardest part is masking the area and cleaning the sprayer😉. spraying is the fun/easy part.
Why do you spray the hinges. I know I don't like the hinges painted. I don't think it's that hard to remove the hinges and keep them looking nice. I guess unless they've been painted already in the past.

Agreed. Also, there’s a lot of dicks commenting on this video. This guy makes great video, and this advice is sound +Christopher Scott
Christopher Scott mate 90% of painters have no fucking idea what quality is if your spraying doors that can be straight up gloss finished your fucking chump and robbing your customers
I always stager corner to corner in a v shape they make brackets for it but i use wood
Do you have any pro tips on filling holes in stain grade trim and crown?
thanks for the very informative video. i wonder if wooden doors need to be sanded and primed before before spraying. Out of curiosity, why are they not sprayed outside in an open space instead of a cramped interior space.

Thanks man. Its cool to see how other people handle jobs
Did you paint over the brass hinges or did you protect those?
Yeah I’m surprised he hasn’t answered this question already.
you should consider using a smaller tip like a 308, 515 is way to big for doors, you'll end up saving more paint
Jorge duarte I personally like a 412 for doors. Not easy to find in most paint stores, but totally worth it.
That tip is massive! 515? Try going down to a 310 or 410 at the BIGGEST. You're on the right track with your setup, but think about that overspray! If the doors behind the one you are spraying are already finished, you are going to end up with a sandpaper-like finish. Watch that overspray!
I use a 515 to spray doors, I have been painting 35 years.
bob5466 just because you've been painting for 35 years doesn't mean you're doing it right. Get the same bullshit : 20+ years from my other painters, but their work is garbage
you missed the point lilone, I was agreeing with the maker of the video, The guy from Rise Painting was telling him to use a smaller tip, and my work is excellent. So try understanding what u read before you comment.
I use 311 for my interior trim. Base/Crown/Doors.
I like the FFLP 310
Great vid. How do you thin the paint
can you tell me about the door prepping - how are they sanded? What about adhesion?
u forgot to prop the doors on top of a piece of trim or they stick to the paper!
Production job
Do you prime doors first? What door and trim paint do you use?
thanks
The Overspray must be delightful 😅

The Super Bee Lol I had one. Flat tip baby! carry a little wire brush. Lol
Are those 16" doors? Where did you get them? I'm redoing my house due to Harvey and can not find that size with the arch anywhere in Houston.
Do you work in Frisco? I need my trims, doors and cabinets done. Would love a bid!
Painter here. Use a 411 ff graco tip. And good trim paint. Those doors behind are getting oversprayed.
How did you set up the first door?
Love the videos! Was that sw pro classic enamel latex??
What kind of sprayer is it again that you are using was a little hard to hear. A suggestion if i may list tools that you are using in the description of the video it would be great to have that info for us do it yourselfer's
GeeksGuideTo Graco Pro X17
Can I ask about thinning the paint, what kind of paint etc?
That's great, but you are getting over spray on the doors behind and to the side. Per the distance, it will cause the doors in back to be rough and or show a haze.
Do you roll the top/bottom of the doors also, or just leave them primed? I've heard some hollow core doors can warp if the bottoms are left unpainted in bathrooms and basements.
Load of rubbish that I've never had a door warp because it wasn't painted. They put stickers on them to say that so they can get out of replacing it.. paint won't stop a door warping anyway...
Went through the complete video but did not hear the brand of the sprayer. Is that a Grayco?
Like the video. What benefit does the extension have on the sprayer? Why not use the handle/tip only?
AZ Paul I use at least a 10 inch extension EVERY time I spray. On standing doors like that it saves your back and legs a lot of repetitive strain. Way easier.
I don't use an extension while spraying doors, everyone has their own way to do it.
The tip is not for fine finish , best tip I use for fine finish is 208 or 308 your tip is good for ceilings bro
How much does door painting go for in general
Does the overspray not make shit of the doors that are already painted? Looking to do the same on my own house and was wondering about the overspray ruining the already painted doors?
Why are you using a paint spray extension wand? Thx
Let me show you how to cover ceiling and how prepare doors, take hinges off, use different tip, thanks
is that oil base paint ?
So you spray right over the hinges. Doesn’t the paint start to peel?
What brand of paint do you use?
I think people said he was shooting Promar 400...how about SW waterbourne enamel?
cool
2 panel arch tops . . Nice haha
Looks like your runnin the jet roller 1223 tip
what is the reason? you didn't remove the hinges?
If your spraying the hinges why take the doors off
I know this is old but yea you need the blue tip with a 310 tip or if you are going to stick with the orange tip then use the 311. Your wasting massive amounts of paint and not getting a real fine finish on the doors
Wow now you gotta carry compressor and nail gun??
515 tip geez!!
Could spray ceilings with that tip 😂
I would use a smaller tip, that's like a 515
What about the overspray on the doors behind the one you just sprayed???
RIGHT!
no kidding.
yuriy boychuk i was wondering the same thing. There is going to be some rough doors
Maybe you should watch the entire video. He talked about that specifically
💦Elastic coating (탄성코트)work on veranda wall
the hinges ?
Oil paint?
Why do you spraying hinges?
1 coat or 2?
What about all THAT overspray ???? And Tip size OMG 😳 310 or maybe 410
what about over spray going onto the door behind?
patty.o lanterns great point. that's a bad set up. What if it needs a second coat? Or if they are stained and need primer and 2 coats
he talked about it in the video ..... maybe you watch first ?
Just wondering why you painted the hinges?
It can look quite nice when it's evenly sprayed like the rest of the door, I find. If it has years of old paint buildup on them then you have to paint over them anyway and some folks just prefer the -somewhat- seamless finish.
LeRoy Jackson and why is that?
Too lazy to remove them.
It's common these days in new construction
i hate the hardware painters and spend some time cursing their lame bad habits and excuses.
Over spray makes them feel ruff
Never spray the hinges. That's not professional.
What about the hinges? Am I the only one that noticed he sprayed the hinges? Great setup but…
Lol 🤠 all the prep work bet the tyler loves that ... painters these days can’t gloss for shit .... is that a plastic drop sheet on the ceiling wow
bit of a mess there mate, over spray over the door behind
Check out stakrak.. Best way to spray multiple doors
Good brush man can paint a door in 6 minutes leaves a better finish too. Time it takes to prep that up remove & reattach the doors & hardware doesn't add up....I appreciate the workmanship and thought process.
Sometimes I brush the doors, sometimes I spray, depends on the situtation
leaves a better finish?..... are you high
6 minutes?? both sides and the edges?? Maybe if you did 20 lines of coke right before you start.
THE_FAMILY_MAN_CLAN i
I use small roller and brush. Also spray when larger amount.
Brush n roller faster. No prep
No tyvek suit? No full face ppe?
No B-I-N!? what channel is this!?
@J. FILL 🤓
i am from Mexico that kind of paint you use
who gives a fuck if you are from Maheeco.
guthy ranker Who gives a fuck what YOU. Your just a RUDE RACIST ....you are not a very nice person WHY are you insulting this man...
You dont even know who he is.....Amanda Perth WA.
Dutch boy
In another video he sprayed some trim with Benjamin Moore "Advance".
1 coat and you don't do the sides?
only one coat needed when using quality paint. plus these doors are already primed. I roll the sides once the doors are installed. Everyone does things different. Take care.

Most SIDE SWELLING of doors are at the UNPAINTED ends of doors.
This causes problems of BINDING and UNEVEN spacing around doors.
He said he rolls them later
I would try to constructively teach a new way to plastic the ceiling, and how I stand up doors. Pre primed doors get prepped and reprimed and 2 top coats on a complete paint job.
I secure the middle of the plastic to the ceiling from the top side, as it goes up, and it doesn't sag that way.
This is what u don’t do folks, I’ve never seen a painter spray the dust of the ground into the door then continue spraying door 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
that was just latex you were spaying right???
looks like pro mar 400
ipaint00 ProMar 400 Semigloss.
THE_FAMILY_MAN_CLAN it is... garbage paint!
Never mask your paint sprayer unit, no airflow= no cooling down. What size tip is that holly s!@#!
