Chris I can’t thank you enough for sharing your experience and knowledge!! I’m a one man remodeling outfit and have benefited immensely from your instruction. Absolutely will be buying products from your store. Thank you!!!
I was a painting contractor for 20 years. I quit in 2007 but just recently came back to painting, can't believe the freaking price of paint! Anyhow everyone has there own tricks and ways of doing things. But this is how I use to do ceilings also, I found for myself, it provided nice straight lines and I was a pretty good cut in man also, but I still rather mask off the walls even though its a pain. I recently saw a guy spray all of the ceilings first, then came back the next day and sprayed the walls wet 3/4 of the way up and had a guy following the spray back rolling and cutting in. I thought it turned out pretty good, the ceiling lines were pretty straight. He did get a little over spray on the ceilings here and there mainly in the hallways, but he just touched it up. Hey whatever works for you.
Also have emerged myself in the study of airless spraying,from techniques,spray patterns,operation,maintenance,tips,anything I can find,,majority from u,,lol..so more hours in the classroom probably then on site
New at airless spraying. I have bottom of the range wagner 150 control. But after doing a few rooms think will need to upgrade. Ive watch loads of your vids and so many hints and tips learnt. Even purchased your tape belt holder.. awesome!!! Seeing how you mask up the wall. Ingenious. Thanks and keep doing what you do best. Thank you.. 🇬🇧
Hi mate, thanks for these 4 video's. Got a shit load of hoses to do which I'll be spraying. Thought I'll only finish ceilings by spray & roll the walls but now I'll spray the lot. 👍
I was going to paint ceiling then walls; after watching your video, I'm now strongly considering walls then ceiling. Had not thought it all the way through before watching your video to start spraying (because like I said, was planning on ceiling first). Now it makes logical sense that it would be easier to mask off the walls than the ceiling to make a clean break. Thanks!!!
How much square footage of ceiling could be sprayed with 5 gallons? I'm spraying onto raw sheetrock so 2 coats back to back. any tips on keeping the spray rig on standby while the first coat dries? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Awesome video. I read a Comment about you mentioning to use SW'a Sherscrub to paint a garage. I couldn't find it on their website. Where is it or would you recommend something else or a nice white finish?
Brilliant, the best bit was the beginning without a shadow of a doubt cool videos mate. Wallingtonfilming, painting decorating, trade secrets England🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I noticed you had tails on the edge of your spray pattern?. I thought this was a no no?. 3000 psi also seems very high can you explain why these two things are ok for the ceiling but not walls. Thanks
Would you spray the ceiling or walls if the home was currently occupied? Or do you just use the sprayer if it's an empty house with no wood floors or carpet?
Yup.. the speed at which you move and the distance you shoot from are all related to the size of tip orfice and fan combined with pressure from the machine. Takes a little bit to nail it down.. I'm still transitioning to a sprayer and just had a mishap in a room with some fresh start primer lol. I'm gonna need to do a little sanding and skim cost the runny areas lol. It was pretty bad. Pressure dialed way up. Was not moving fast enough and another mistake was not having ample lighting. I sprayed the ceiling. Sprayed the walls. The pulled my light up and everything looked really wet.. then about 10 minutes later I started noticing the runs haha... oh boy.. Basically the overlap shot from ceiling to wall was hit a little too much... haha. I bought some better tips FF LP with a smaller orfice and went ahead and primed the rest of the house with sprayer dialed up just enough to eliminate the tails on the sides of the spray fan and tried to move a little more. Worked out well. Lots of factors. You make it look easy in these videos haha... so really only one bad area in the house that I'll be working backwards in. Lesson learned.
Hey buddy,quick question..I am in a 450 sq foot garage,,joints had been taped previously when house was built,,newer construction within 10 years,,I finished the mud to a quality finish,,I'm prepped and ready to spray,,homeowner wants eggshell same color ceiling and walls,,so 1 could you suggest what paint to use from Sherwin and also tip size recommendation for an amateur with about 60 to 80 hrs total on an airless,,but a very capable amatuer who has learned a wealth of knowledge from you sir,,I'm in south east Michigan tempetuer will be around 50 degree,,but inside garage with a propane heater,,honestly sir any advice would be greatly valued,,thank you for your time,,sincerely Jeff
Also, what's that light plastic??? I have like 10' ceilings??? And the paper roll you went over top of that with??? Does it have the tape built right in????
That’s great in a house, but I have 250 unit, brand new apartment homes in fla. ceiling is one color, duck white, walls are anew gray. Trying to find the easiest way to do it. Started with ceilings first, then cut and roll walls. A bit time consuming and hard to find painters who can cut a straight line. Any ideas?
i have question when i paint with my new new hairless spray gun first it makes to lines on the two side second when i stop it get way more paint on the spot that i stop any solution thanks
I've been paying for a week and a half and I would always think that you would do the ceilings first and then cut in the walls and save a lot of time that way, what is your what is your opinion on that
Where we are in Australia we back roll everything because of pigment flotation... If you dont and have a spray only finish the ceilings and walls cant be touched up after other trades eg electricians putting back the pot lights... doing it our way is almost as quick and any minor touch ups can be done with a tiny med roller
I sprayed some ceilings in the past few months. All of them were textured and I would backroll them and they turned out awesome! What about smooth ceilings? Should I still backroll it or will it dry out good? I would think that on a smooth ceiling it would smear the sprayed paint more than anything.
Got a dumb question probably!! Starting a new paint/ handyman biz. If just 1-2 guy outfit with all that taping to spray is that still faster then roll an brush cut in? Thanks I like your videos
The Idaho Painter one more thing sir! On a interior paint when u spray, will you spray with furniture n the rooms/house? Or is that best to just roll it on? Thanks
About 5:30 and 5:40 I see heavy tails like the pressure is too low or the sprayer is struggling to keep up. Is this a problem or is it OK because you put so much paint on the walls?
Love the videos! You mention use a flat on the ceiling because a satin or so would leave overage spots. What if you did a second coat? would it all then blend ok? I want to use the slightest satin on the walls, but would love to knock out everything with the same paint. Any suggestions? Thanks!
If you spray all walls and ceilings for new construction, how do you handle touch ups from other trades on the walls as the work on the house progresses? Spray finish will show brush or roller touch-up even in flat finishes.
Is it less likely that a second coat will be needed if a sprayer is used? I ask because I usually have to give at least two coats, letting it dry between coats, which would not allow me to remove masking while wet.
Hi Chris, I am somewhat new to spraying with my Titan 440. Will be spraying walls and ceilings w PVA Primer and would like to know what size tip and gun filter do you recommend. Thank you as always
No need to caulk the tape. U dont spray directly on the edge. He did go kinna backwards though. I personally spray crown mouldings and all trim first. Next day I mask off the crown an spray the ceilings . Walls are done last with a brush and roller.
What tape do you use to mask the freshly painted walls? Do you have any peeling when you remove it? Lastly, seems like you would have done the ceiling first and worked downward. Why is that? Sorry. Just trying to learn for an upcoming refurb project
Can't see the type of masking tape, probably Frog Tape. There are no solid flakes because the new paint hasn't cured. He painted the wall yellow, then masked the wall, then painted the ceiling.
Do you back roll the ceilings? If you spray walls do you back roll those? I'm painting a whole house in a month (vacant, putting in new floors and trim) and I'm trying to decide if I should use an airless for everything. All walls will be the same color, all ceilings will be white. If I spray everything, should I do the walls or the ceiling first?
Hi! New subscriber here. Do you have a video that shows how to safely paint around a smoke detector and sprinkler in an apartment? With a sprayer. Also, with a cheap Walmart or Lowe's sprayer.
Use 1.44" masking tape around the detector while leaving one edge of the tape flaring out. Then use plastic or paper, and stick them to the exposed sticky tape. If the plastic is too dangly, roll it up, and use tape to hold its form.
How much paint would I need using a paint sprayer to paint a room around 12x10 ? Also how much paint dust does a sprayer create ? The room has carpet floors already.
Good video serious. Question, is it always worth all that masking just to be able to spray the ceiling? Would it have been easier to cut and roll the ceiling instead?
are you saying just in the ceilings you will see spray lines if you use a satin or would you also see them on the walls because im going to be painting my house to sell and wanted to do ceiling and walls with the same sheen to avoid taping thanks bud!
The Idaho Painter thanks as always. I share your videos and when I start building a bigger profit margin I would like to give back to you for all your help. I also can't wait to buy some of your bid packages

If that prep tape takes any of the wall paint off the wall, then that wall wasn’t painted properly or painted with poor paints or both. The tape should be fine on the walls.
Before painting the sealer and topcoat on the walls make sure any spots that will have tape applied, like at the ceiling line and around doors/trim, have been sanded well and dusted with a damp rag. Especially when square stopping plaster is involved. You want no dust in that corner at all.
Do the spray lines disappear? I have some spray lines and hope they go away. I held the gun 1.5 feet away from the ceiling and went at the same speed as the video. Please help. Thanks
Dude!!! Another great training video! If you're not the main training video guy for the major manufacturers or large painting companies....you dang sure should be!!!My brother-in-law said that when he worked for his contractor buddy he usta have to go in behind him and back roll or whatever... He said the rooms were like a total fog and you couldn't see sh*t right in front of you... Is that amount of fall out or whatever it's called off the ceiling be that heavy??? It sounded to me like he should have tuned down his pressure or wasn't moving fast enough or was running a really fat tip??? Right? I'm not seeing that fog in your videos???Or, can I add something to make it stick better??? You're the Jedi master so fill me in bro! Getting my extensions and 512 / 312 tips... Might grab one of these 12(12?) or 12 (13?) tips you use to hit the ceilings in your video's. After I botch up my house and have paint sprayed friggin everywhere... I'm probably gonna wanting to kick you in the took-us for making this look so easy!....cause I know it is not!!! With acrylic can I just fill a few 5 gallon buckets with hot water and a few drops of Joy to blast it threw the gun/hose/pump... and will that make it clean enough to complete a couple day job... Then at the end completely disasimble before putting it to bed until the next project??? Just a light coat of gun oil for the resting period will do, correct. Thanks, Dave-O!
What if theres a touch up on ceiling after everything is completed. If you touch it with a brush and roll it wouldnt it not match cause you sprayed it only?
Hey Chris, the ceiling of my dinning room is already painted with a very dark red color. If I want to repaint it to white, what prep work should I do before spraying primer?
I’m having a really hard time getting the paint to look even on my ceiling…it’s a smooth ceiling (no texture). There’s a big window so there’s lots of natural light. I’ve given it several coats and it does look better than it did at first but still not even, I feel like I’m going through a lot of paint…any tips?
@@Idahopainter I’m following you from California, my son have a house in Oregon, I’m electrician from 2002 I installed solar systems a lot, I did paint preparation in 1996-1998, in this time I start to do small help to my son house and my self, is great follow you, your advice based in your experience is excellent ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I did electrical work for Idaho general contractor he was living here in Clayton, Ca. He’s name Rod Luper, good person. He moved to Idaho, he asked to me if want move to work in Idaho, but unfortunately snow is beautiful but see far away😊⛄️🥶 to cold.
The title mentions Graco, but in the video the sprayer in the garage looks like the Titan 1140 you were using in the previous videos. Did you swap it out for some reason?
Your the best painter…. I’m painter for 16 years and I know when someone is doing great good…. You videos helps a lot thanks you

Hello from Spain, I follow all your works and they are excellent, did you may subtitularlos in Spanish? Thank you
You should show how the ceiling looks like after dries. Is this flat finish ? how does it looks with the light reflection ?

Have you ever used a sprayer for a thin watery primer such as BIN? If so do you have any tips?
What do you do with the can lights that don’t have a housing and the blow in insulation is in the hole. How do you keep it from falling down?
hey Chris, percentage wise, how much more paint is used utilizing a sprayer versus rolling the ceilings?
Awesome video. I read a
Comment about you mentioning to use SW'a Sherscrub to paint a garage. I couldn't find it on their website. Where is it or would you recommend something else or a nice white finish?

If I have to prime then paint the ceiling, do i have to mask twice? Once for primer, then for paint?

Do you have to cover the recessed lights or is some overspray okay? You don't have to take off the cans?

Hi there! The link pop ups in your videos are not working for me. :)
Hey Chris your spray machine does it operate in fuel or in electric current?

About 5:30 and 5:40 I see heavy tails like the pressure is too low or the sprayer is struggling to keep up. Is this a problem or is it OK because you put so much paint on the walls?
Why didn’t you caulk with the primer and why was it ok to let the primer dry on the masking instead of removing it wet like you did with the paint
thumbs up.
Can you spray a stomped ceiling this way?
Love the videos! You mention use a flat on the ceiling because a satin or so would leave overage spots. What if you did a second coat? would it all then blend ok? I want to use the slightest satin on the walls, but would love to knock out everything with the same paint. Any suggestions? Thanks!
It just depends on the quality of paint
If you spray all walls and ceilings for new construction, how do you handle touch ups from other trades on the walls as the work on the house progresses? Spray finish will show brush or roller touch-up even in flat finishes.
I only backroll when spraying new walls. primer and paint. if it's just a repaint then no need to back roll
Is it less likely that a second coat will be needed if a sprayer is used? I ask because I usually have to give at least two coats, letting it dry between coats, which would not allow me to remove masking while wet.
That's why he 50% overlaps while spraying. Overlap is the second coat.
Hi Chris, I am somewhat new to spraying with my Titan 440. Will be spraying walls and ceilings w PVA Primer and would like to know what size tip and gun filter do you recommend. Thank you as always
60 mesh with a 619 tip
I noticed there was a trail line at the end of the fan spray, what causes this? I been having problems with it,tried several tips and pressure
Dirty gun or tip or gun front end
You spray in two directions?
Did you caulk around the masking first to prevent paint bleed onto the walls?
No need to caulk the tape. U dont spray directly on the edge. He did go kinna backwards though. I personally spray crown mouldings and all trim first. Next day I mask off the crown an spray the ceilings . Walls are done last with a brush and roller.
What tape do you use to mask the freshly painted walls? Do you have any peeling when you remove it? Lastly, seems like you would have done the ceiling first and worked downward. Why is that? Sorry. Just trying to learn for an upcoming refurb project
Can't see the type of masking tape, probably Frog Tape. There are no solid flakes because the new paint hasn't cured. He painted the wall yellow, then masked the wall, then painted the ceiling.
@5:43 it looks like you're tailing? Using enough pressure?
Probably on purpose to minimize the overspray
How many coats do you have to do with this?
Yeah, what about obstacles like kitchen cabinet when painting a ceiling?
Tape and plastic around them
same question. Why not spraying cellings first, back rolling after the spray, then do the walls?
Sir Daltonix is more easy to mask walls than ceiling simple and easy walls firts ceiling last
Do you back roll the ceilings? If you spray walls do you back roll those? I'm painting a whole house in a month (vacant, putting in new floors and trim) and I'm trying to decide if I should use an airless for everything. All walls will be the same color, all ceilings will be white. If I spray everything, should I do the walls or the ceiling first?
The Idaho Painter What about the walls?
You rolled after?
I have found spraying end to end cann result in laplines i swiched to staggering approch ..not decernable pattern..works better fir me ....any input ?
What is the best way to tape/mask the high hat lights?
Sorry, we would need to see a picture
Do you backroll after you are done spraying the walls and celling?
Yes
WHY DO PEOPLE SAY YOU HAVE TO BACKROLL AFTER SPRAYING??? anyone please help I dont understand
Have you tried that Titan spray gaurd. Im curious if it actually works so hurry and test it yo. Lol
Yes, the guard works well
how can that fan be fixed?
Hi! New subscriber here. Do you have a video that shows how to safely paint around a smoke detector and sprinkler in an apartment? With a sprayer. Also, with a cheap Walmart or Lowe's sprayer.

How much paint would I need using a paint sprayer to paint a room around 12x10 ? Also how much paint dust does a sprayer create ? The room has carpet floors already.
3 gallons. How much is all relative
Cover anything u don’t want dusted
Good video serious. Question, is it always worth all that masking just to be able to spray the ceiling? Would it have been easier to cut and roll the ceiling instead?
+seephor When the room is large, it's generally faster to spray vs roll. Cuts down on the paint usage, too.

I wish this guy was my boss
lol, thanks for watching Bob!
are you saying just in the ceilings you will see spray lines if you use a satin or would you also see them on the walls because im going to be painting my house to sell and wanted to do ceiling and walls with the same sheen to avoid taping thanks bud!
Spraying ceilings in satin is difficult, not impossible. Make sure you put plenty on and don’t have any fingering in your spray pattern.
Hey bud thanks for the reply what if i rolled instead of spraying satin on all walls and ceilings would that work?
why do you paint the walls first. would it be easier to start at the top and work your way down?

Love your videos! Does spraying walls give a better look or is it just faster?
Both any time roller is involved stipple becomes a possibility
@@thesaviorofALL yeah its a better looking finish, but when you try and touch up you will get flashing with the roll or brush.
The link for video for masking doesn’t work.
No backrolling ?
Hi Chris, when you are pulling the masking down do you find that the tape often pulls some paint off the wall? How do you deal with that? Thanks.
Take the tape off before the paint dries to prevent peeling

Hello, what size of tip are you using for the ceiling? TIA
619
I am unable to click on the videos within the videos?
why didnt you go with back rolling the ceiling, specially with a knock down texture?
What if theres a touch up on ceiling after everything is completed. If you touch it with a brush and roll it wouldnt it not match cause you sprayed it only?
How many coats do you apply on the ceiling? Thanks
Want to know, too. I'm guessing 2
@@DecoyJayc , I saw in another of their videos that they only apply once thick coat on ceilings.
Did you clear caulk the perimeter of that tape!
Not this time
Hey Chris, the ceiling of my dinning room is already painted with a very dark red color. If I want to repaint it to white, what prep work should I do before spraying primer?
Just spraying primer will be good
How come did you do your ceilings last?
Masking is easier
Why not spray ceilings before walls?
Will a Graco 495 airless run a 1221 tip?

I’m having a really hard time getting the paint to look even on my ceiling…it’s a smooth ceiling (no texture). There’s a big window so there’s lots of natural light. I’ve given it several coats and it does look better than it did at first but still not even, I feel like I’m going through a lot of paint…any tips?

Backroll
Why dont you back roll ?
The title mentions Graco, but in the video the sprayer in the garage looks like the Titan 1140 you were using in the previous videos. Did you swap it out for some reason?
They are using a Greco spray tip on a Titian sprayer
