I've been painting for over 26 years and have a high appreciation for painting techniques and practices... THIS guy embodies everything right about prep work and painting techniques that I have been practicing for close to 2 decades of industrial commercial and residential painting. I absolutely commend him
@@AtTheHandle There was plastic under the paper on the edges. Paper helps to absorb drips, and the paint doesn't flake off like it does with plastic, creating cleanup issues. Plastic is fine for areas that receive very little overspray, anything that is receiving heavy amounts of paint, needs to be Paper. No flaking, and no dripping, it just makes everything easier.
This saved my life. We are painting our new house inside all day tomorrow and I had no idea how to not waste paint with the air sprayer. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge it really does mean a lot to me. I have a handyman service and I just got a graco airless I’ve been learning by trial and error. But now I have a great reference person to learn from. Thank you and God bless
Love the way he explains, I've got 15 yrs experience, but Chris just explains his steps so clearly fluid and simply easy, awsome much respect , if i ever move mainland can i work for you? Lmk lmao😂😂🤘🤙🤙🤙
My, my, my goodness...what a difference from a pro and an amateur and here we certainly have a pro and a damn good speaker. All explained with fine and direct details. Well done and most educational . Thank you.
Love this info Chris!! Also love the paint colour the customer chose. Prep work takes the longest time though! Thank you and thanks to Lisa, your wife and your team! Take care! Susan
Not sure how this ended up on my suggestions. However, it answered questions that I actually have dealt with in the past with overspray. Thanks for making this informative video.
Thank you for your spraying tips. I am getting ready to paint my 2 story house on an declined slope and this will help a lot. The ladder tip you gave will help, too. Just got a new Graco LTS17 to help with the long hose line. 👊
Coool video. Beneficial with all the details. I figure this all out after two years of spraying. If I would see this when I started spraying there would be lees stress for me. Any way for those painters just starting to learn spraying technics this is like the golden video. Well done Chris. Keep up!
This guy does not know how to prep, the siding next to the cement you put 12 inch paper so you can spray directly without a shield that plant has over spray on it. I was doing this when he was in high school good intentions maybe but I don't think he's a union painter but I do complement him I was thinking about doing the same kind of post. I noticed he said we anyone worth their weight can paint that house in a day by themselves. I can paint stucco houses prep and paint in one day, paper and tape is my helper but it's amusing to watch an apprentice.
for sure. Just myself and a helper. 3 days prepping. 1-1.5 days masking and spraying on a typical size bungalow is the norm. 2 days if its a relatively new home with little weather damage.
Beginner here. I've been priming over caulk and putty. Looks like I've been wasting time and material. Thanks for the great tips on overspray. I've been running the pressure too high. I appreciate the channel.
Hi Chris, thanks for the great tips and information all the time. I just wanted to let you know that the links for some products below the video are not correct. Cheers!
wow what a professional love the videos man they're really helping me out as a weekend warrior diyer I get to skip the learning curve thanks to you, keep up the good work bro.
I got a Graco X7 for 50 bucks at a yard sale this week. Was excited to use it and went in not knowing anything about paint spraying. The sprayer did it's job well but it was hella over spraying. The whole room I painted got all misted. Even the rooms over got paint on them even though the door in the room I was painting was closed. Il definitely try lowering the air pressure because I believe I had it set to the max. might check out the tip as well
When I recognize a pro painter that talks about over spray, it’s because he’s right. I’ve been painting for 6 years and I’m getting some good advice from this good painter. I’m like more an interior painter. Would love to paint exterior and I’m subscribing your channel so I can get more good tips from you boss man .
Thank you for making this video paint life. I am still new in the industrial portion of painting and I have been making mistakes and this possibly will clear up some problems. I spray primer with the consistency of windex.
I've seen those work gloves in multiple videos; what are they called so I can look into buying them.? Thanks for the videos - they've been helping me with my fledgling professional painting work.
i first used a Graco airless 1973 up untill 2010 and would only use extention like the 1 you were using on ceilings/ and roof recoating done very little masking , as with using gun only , you have much more control, ,/using correct pressure helps, oh and the tip you are using can be got in china for 5 aus dollars ( my son ordered 100 last year ) he was paying 70 dollars each, here in aus , so somebody making an easy quid,/ anyway keep up the good work
Dang dude that's some serious mad skills. You have set the bar really high and may make other painters jealous. I'm not a painter but you make it look fun and easy- a true pro. Thanks for another awesome video Chris!
This guy is good but be no means is setting the bar for other painters. I for one do not follow anything or any methods he uses. I am also a painting contractor. I do spray but back brush as well to ensure proper coverage. I have watched a few of his videos. For homeowners or new to painting he is great at these videos. He serves different clients than we do as well, meaning we do high end only, not blow and go in and out.
Hey brother I took the outdoor furniture 15 yards and I was 2 blocks away, haha. Seriously the tip for 60 gallon replacement is a great tip, pun. Thanks.
Yes it's nice to see that there still some pros out there doing it the it the right way. Using a shield should be the first thing to learn how to work with. The .515 and spray rig were also fine choices and a good tip on tieing back the hedges. This 10 minute video would be a valuable tool for the novice and DIY'er, The only thing missing was the Rock & Roll! Nice job brother.....Peace.....
I completely agree with you on the shield and 515 tip. No matter how much prep is/has been done I feel lost without my shield!! Learning how to hold it where needed and spraying with one hand is the way to go. The 515 tip, well that's more or less your "go-to" for general spraying, get those 2 down and your way ahead of the game if just starting out. I would only add that if one is going to spray more than just your house as needed, it is really nice to know what the #'s mean in reference to the tip "sizes. Take the first # and (usually) double it for the fan width, and the last 2 are the actual hole size in thousands of an inch, so a 515 tip has a 10" wide/tall fan and a .015" orifice. Once I took the time to look what the #'s meant it all made sense and I could easily grab the right tip for the job, prior to that someone would yell Hey grab me a 413 tip, HUH? Sure the #'s are stamped on it, but what's wrong with what your using? LOL...
@@da1cru1 good advice hey I have a question anyone really. An I use a Graco Tex sprayer as my well Hopper and compressor and my large hose and gun and buy some sort of 515 tip for it very very new heard from a Graco blog that it could be used as a sprayer also need some guidance could one throw some knoldege real fast for me much ablidged
thank you very much for the information I'm new to this business of painting and see your videos. I need to know what should I use for each job, etceteras walls ganinete
Chris! I love your videos! I'm dong my first exterior as the owner of my own company tomorrow! Your videos and professionalism has helped me start my own painting company. #paintlife
I've been followingbyou for some time, and this channel has been a great source of information and knowledge for my projects. One video that I have not seen is, how to clean up or remove overspray. I've unfortunately had some on my vinyl siding, and I'm looking to see how it's properly done without damage to the vinyl.
The last couple weeks I have been prepping the exterior of my house for paint. I’ve got it all scraped pressure washed and halfway done caulking with Sherwin-Williams 950. I’ve been watching your videos, which are fantastic. Thanks for all your help. Love the scripture reference! “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9 KJV
I always spray my trim first. Then I mask it like you do - Paper around the edges, and plastic inside. Then when I spray the body, I pull off the masking and the trim is already done.
@Dave Morrison: I agree and most always do it the same way as you. The only time I wouldn't do the trim first and then mask it is if the customer picks a darker trim color than the body/wall. It should be obvious why I apply my lighter colors first.
@@mohnjarx7801 exactly scrambler that's why I dont do trim first. If you do it Idaho Painter's way you can mask the window, then spray the body, then roll the trim all while the paint is still wet on the body. If you trim out windows first you have to wait for them to dry, then mask, then spray, then unmask. Just my 2 cents
its because he always does a french finish or whatever its called... in other words seems like they usually just paint the face of the trim, not the sides like you do as 1 should.
I barely stumbled upon your videos after watching some amateur painter F up my parent's house. Nice to know there are still some professionals out there that take pride in their work.
Chris your videos are great, I have watched many of them, God's Economy gives you so much! you are a giver! and you give with Joy, I appreciate you God Bless you and every body around you, Thank You!
Is that about a 30" extension, when you release trigger, don't you get the spits? I have and then you get that little stream of paint on the siding, what do you do about that?
I am glad that I have common sense. You've been in the industry much longer than me and I am doing everything the same. It's reassuring for me. Thank you for sharing the knowledge of an old school tradesman. It's becoming more and production work with cheap materials versus how I was taught by guys like you.
You should always be spraying at the lowest pressure that gives you a good spray pattern, i.e. long and narrow with no "tails" at top and bottom. You should test the pattern on a piece of cardboard or such.
That depends on the tip. Better if new. Wore out tip just makes a mess and wastes paint. I use a411 for large areas and a 311 for soffit and fascia. Indoor trim I use a211 tip.I use a new tip for every job. Great videos dude. You know your job.
@@keithhampton9700 A x11 tip sounds a little constricted for full bodied exterior paint. A x13 or x15 would be normal for the generally heavier bodied exterior paints.
Not lost was the scripture reference. Professionalism is important. No loud music etc. To avoid any conflict with employees and music my policy is headphones in one ear other ear free for safety concerns. Thanks for the video.
I'd still put 2 coats on even though it's the same colour. Light coat on the 1st and a little heavier on the 2nd. Better coverage and avoid runs and misses if trying to cover in one coat.
And I have watched a couple of your videos and find it interesting how other painters do there work. Your tidy and make it look easy, because really it's not that hard. 80% of my work is spraying roofs or exterior houses here in New Zealand. Cheers for the videos.
My neighbors are so good at painting that they even painted my car!!! I told them before they started painting that this would happen and they said yeah sure we have 20 years experience. Some people are just wired differently.
Goodmorning yes Over spray Will Fly Especially the Higher your up. But still blast Everything on the Ground. Cars etc. We litterly block of streets around Parking Garages etc. But people don't care. They will move our cones. Remove our paint tape. We had people move are 5 gallons buckets. And park next to our paint sprayers. On Very Large jobs the city. It can't be totally controlled With ignorent people. We actually blocked entrances to parking garages. People have gone up the wrong way to park in Garages. I don't mean 5 cars. 80 to 100 cars. Due to are time on contract deadline. I tell my guys cover cars. With plastic. When your dealing with. Deadlines. And ignorent people. And really big Numbers. You let the Paint fly. (Small number of details vs 600k project) as I tell my wife Do not Park around any Construction project anywhere Residential or Commercial it's Just Common Sense.
@Darrell Brown That's in a Perfect world. We tell Everyone moves there Cars people are ignorent. And aragant. We flyer cars two days in advance knock on doors. If there not gone. Paint is a Flying. Especially on Commercial jobs. Which are Normally over. 60k it's just a numbers Game a full wax job cost $350 tops. Time is money.
Cool. But watching Mexican painters do an entire apartment complex if something to behold. Very little paper masking - mainly round light fixtures. Everything else is done with a shield. They spray walls first and later another crew comes back to paint the highlights and go over the overspray. But somehow there is very, very little overspray anywhere. Crazy ladder safety practices too - 30 ft. up the guy perched on top shakes the ladder to move it left and right and reach further. Holding a paint can in one hand. Makes me scared to look at that every time. Super fast work. Never mask cars on the parking lot. The work is always very precise.
Thats how we do it in Colorado somos chingones los paisas i encourage all of my ppl to stop working for someone who gets half the cut for simply lookong for leads. Go get your own leads and jobs and stop making other ppl rich for somethhing you can do on your own
Love the Bible verse in the video. Subscribed. “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9 ESV
I thought the video was informative for anyone. doesn't matter your experience. I told one of my guys today that it doesn't matter how long you've been doing your trade. there is always something to learn to make you better. all these guys complaining are just to lazy to mask off windows. I don't give a shut how hood you are with a sprayer and a shield. you WILL get over spray on a window if you're spraying near it. it may not be a lot. but cleaning paint off of windows and other objects takes way to much time. a few hours taping off goes a long way
Chris just saw your "store" awesome! We live in Northern California (for now) small town and not many options. We are moving your way hopefully in the spring. (He's be working on his own for a couple of weeks and so many jobs lined up he's saying late summer but I want to go now! lol I've been sharing your videos with the guys helping him. Family no experience lol they watch your video and it's been saving on training for us. Just a quick show and they got it. Thank you so much!!
hi Idaho, as for spraying oilbase, i personally would just pump a litre of turps/white spirit then straight into PVA/ acryllic , never had any probs , with the lines. even left material in lines for a week or more without hassles
You would figure the "turps" would yellow (amber) the hell out an acrylic. PVA is a great primer but dirty as hell when it comes to the excessive solids that's natural to the material. I have crushed many of "filters" in both the gun and the towers of my sprayers. Sherwin Williams stopped selling the PVA where I am years ago, I actually loved it
yes indeed that spray machine operator is a vetran , good job sir, i repair all sprayers graco titan hero ect... i also spend some time running them during slow times these tips are so very helpful thx im in northern Ontario if any one needs rebuild or any tech advice id be happy to help cheers
Your videos are EXCELLENT!!!! I’ve never use an Air Sprayer before and am looking forward tondo some painting in my house by my self for the first time. Please would you advice me Which Air sprayer would you recommend for painting metal fence, roof tops with asphalt tiles and exterior walls?
I've been painting for over 26 years and have a high appreciation for painting techniques and practices... THIS guy embodies everything right about prep work and painting techniques that I have been practicing for close to 2 decades of industrial commercial and residential painting. I absolutely commend him
I think he should have used plastic on the windows tbh
@@AtTheHandle first thing I thought. Just use drape and tape. What a waste of time
@@AtTheHandle There was plastic under the paper on the edges. Paper helps to absorb drips, and the paint doesn't flake off like it does with plastic, creating cleanup issues.

Just started my own paint business with an emphasis on quality workmanship...this video is very helpful. Really appreciate it.
Thanks Chris. You have the best site on the internet for painting. It takes time to make these videos, we appreciate it.
This guy just seems trustworthy.... like, “aye Chris, I need my house painted.” then he shows up on time and charges you reasonably. Good on ya Chris.

Explained very well, I have been spraying for 40 years, but you still don't stop learning keep it up
Not sure how this ended up on my suggestions. However, it answered questions that I actually have dealt with in the past with overspray. Thanks for making this informative video.
Great video! No Metalica background music blaring. No extraneous conversation. Right to the point. Lot's of great information. Well done sir.
couldn't agree more
Great job Chris! Well put together. I like how you drop the scripture in.
thanks ! great tips ! i used many types of ways to keep over spraying and it really comes down to details !!!
Thank you for your spraying tips. I am getting ready to paint my 2 story house on an declined slope and this will help a lot. The ladder tip you gave will help, too. Just got a new Graco LTS17 to help with the long hose line. 👊
I painted my 2-story house a few summers ago and feathering while on the ladder was really tough. Props for your skill doing this.
I did my 2 story home but rented scaffolding, made all the difference.
I like your presentation technique. Says Professional all the way around.
Thank you, lots of good information.
You are welcome!

Keep a roller handy and smooth it out right away so it dont dry in
Y0ou don't get the 'spits' unless your gun needs a packing adjustment or needs repaking. length has nothing to do with it . brent

@@keithhampton9700 A x11 tip sounds a little constricted for full bodied exterior paint. A x13 or x15 would be normal for the generally heavier bodied exterior paints.
@@nejdro1 your are correct, it's no wonder this dude is blowing through a fresh tip every job... using the wrong size
Not lost was the scripture reference. Professionalism is important. No loud music etc. To avoid any conflict with employees and music my policy is headphones in one ear other ear free for safety concerns. Thanks for the video.
you are a good painter and learned a lot from you
Thanks for the Video, very informative.
I'd still put 2 coats on even though it's the same colour. Light coat on the 1st and a little heavier on the 2nd. Better coverage and avoid runs and misses if trying to cover in one coat.
And I have watched a couple of your videos and find it interesting how other painters do there work. Your tidy and make it look easy, because really it's not that hard. 80% of my work is spraying roofs or exterior houses here in New Zealand. Cheers for the videos.
Thank you! Depending on the quality and color of the paint is how I determine how many coats. Thank you for watching :)
yeah same here, on the 2 coats. even on doors i like to do 2 light coats to avoid runs as enamel can be harder to spray without getting sag or runs.
My neighbors are so good at painting that they even painted my car!!! I told them before they started painting that this would happen and they said yeah sure we have 20 years experience. Some people are just wired differently.
You should’ve moved your car man
People don't get it my ex boss sprayed a fence he had to have 3 cars polished spray gets everywhere
@@kellyreynolds5274 bunch of dummies.
Goodmorning yes Over spray Will Fly Especially the Higher your up. But still blast Everything on the Ground. Cars etc. We litterly block of streets around Parking Garages etc. But people don't care. They will move our cones. Remove our paint tape. We had people move are 5 gallons buckets. And park next to our paint sprayers. On Very Large jobs the city. It can't be totally controlled With ignorent people. We actually blocked entrances to parking garages. People have gone up the wrong way to park in Garages. I don't mean 5 cars. 80 to 100 cars. Due to are time on contract deadline. I tell my guys cover cars. With plastic. When your dealing with. Deadlines. And ignorent people. And really big Numbers. You let the Paint fly. (Small number of details vs 600k project) as I tell my wife Do not Park around any Construction project anywhere Residential or Commercial it's Just Common Sense.
@Darrell Brown That's in a Perfect world. We tell Everyone moves there Cars people are ignorent. And aragant. We flyer cars two days in advance knock on doors. If there not gone. Paint is a Flying. Especially on Commercial jobs. Which are Normally over. 60k it's just a numbers Game a full wax job cost $350 tops. Time is money.
I appreciate the tip information and the PSI on the machine that's good stuff
Great video and information! Me thinks this dude knows his way round a weight bench lol. Awesome work!
Cool.
But watching Mexican painters do an entire apartment complex if something to behold. Very little paper masking - mainly round light fixtures. Everything else is done with a shield. They spray walls first and later another crew comes back to paint the highlights and go over the overspray. But somehow there is very, very little overspray anywhere.
Crazy ladder safety practices too - 30 ft. up the guy perched on top shakes the ladder to move it left and right and reach further. Holding a paint can in one hand. Makes me scared to look at that every time. Super fast work. Never mask cars on the parking lot. The work is always very precise.
GreatWhiteNiko that move its call the clock
Or costa rican
@@juansoria5869 i had a costa rican made a mess in my house didnt even know how to hold a brush ill pass on a costa rican
Thats how we do it in Colorado somos chingones los paisas i encourage all of my ppl to stop working for someone who gets half the cut for simply lookong for leads. Go get your own leads and jobs and stop making other ppl rich for somethhing you can do on your own
Not stopping overspray, just protecting from it.
Good point. Words mean things.
Thanks for all the great painting videos
Grat tip tips! Big help in project cost estimates!
so how do you eliminate overspray again
The correct tip and pressure as well as masking things off. Next question?
Ha! Great video and harmless comment.
Lu Cho You posted the dame thing twice, shutup
Use a .417 tip and lose the wand. Your spray will reach further and sharper
Thanks for sharing the tip!
cole trickle 415 would be my choice don’t loose the wand just shorten it
never 417 on ext residential unless there is no doors or ,windows and you want runs
I painted professionally over ten years. the man knows what he's talking about. thumbs up
Where you from Jason? Im in Montgomery Alabama painting in a 60 mile radius
i just got a T5 watching you guys get me excited to get to work soon as i print out my certified and qualified certificates lol
Love the Bible verse in the video. Subscribed.
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
1 John 1:9 ESV
So where did you see that?
This is why the roman catholic goes to confession to the priest.
But indeed a great Bibleverse!
I thought the video was informative for anyone. doesn't matter your experience. I told one of my guys today that it doesn't matter how long you've been doing your trade. there is always something to learn to make you better. all these guys complaining are just to lazy to mask off windows. I don't give a shut how hood you are with a sprayer and a shield. you WILL get over spray on a window if you're spraying near it. it may not be a lot. but cleaning paint off of windows and other objects takes way to much time. a few hours taping off goes a long way
I agree. I try to learn something new everyday.
27+years experience
Maksimalno profesionalno, sve pohvale, hvala na savetima, veliki pozdrav iz Srbije.
Hey Chris very useful tricks and tips.
Thank you master
"the tips work for 3-4 houses or about 60 gallons" what?
Because the machined orifice of the spray tip gets worn from high pressure in a small tolerance area.
1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
thak you Man for you videos. i'm learning new things with you.
Great work and you explain very well thank you!
Love your videos!extremely helpful.
Chris just saw your "store" awesome! We live in Northern California (for now) small town and not many options. We are moving your way hopefully in the spring. (He's be working on his own for a couple of weeks and so many jobs lined up he's saying late summer but I want to go now! lol I've been sharing your videos with the guys helping him. Family no experience lol they watch your video and it's been saving on training for us. Just a quick show and they got it. Thank you so much!!
Glad to help, thanks for watching & supporting Wendy!
hi Idaho, as for spraying oilbase, i personally would just pump a litre of turps/white spirit then straight into PVA/ acryllic , never had any probs , with the lines. even left material in lines for a week or more without hassles
You would figure the "turps" would yellow (amber) the hell out an acrylic. PVA is a great primer but dirty as hell when it comes to the excessive solids that's natural to the material. I have crushed many of "filters" in both the gun and the towers of my sprayers. Sherwin Williams stopped selling the PVA where I am years ago, I actually loved it
from one painter to another. you are great.
yes indeed that spray machine operator is a vetran , good job sir, i repair all sprayers graco titan hero ect... i also spend some time running them during slow times these tips are so very helpful thx im in northern Ontario if any one needs rebuild or any tech advice id be happy to help cheers
Thanks for watching Randy!
Great video!! Very good information!! About to paint my second home.
Thanks for sharing the word ,love the tips
I love how painters are all godly. I'm in the right field
Your videos are EXCELLENT!!!! I’ve never use an Air Sprayer before and am looking forward tondo some painting in my house by my self for the first time. Please would you advice me Which Air sprayer would you recommend for painting metal fence, roof tops with asphalt tiles and exterior walls?
Try the Grace LP tips, much easier for cutting in but remember to drop your pressure on your pump.
WoW! Thanks for sharing your expertise!, Such valuable info.
You are welcome!
EXCELENT WORK!
