Hey watch you all the time great content! Have a question/ topic, have you ever used or heard of anyone use vinyl soffit for a basement ceiling? I have seen pvc boards, but can you use soffit in the basement? Thanks!
I love it because when you mess up with something you don't cut it. You show it. That's the best part to prevent us from doing it if we can avoid it. Great job!
I've been spray painting interior / exterior for 30+ years. Extension poles suck, don't use them. It builds up pressure in the extension pole and when you release the trigger, it spits. With extension poles, your wrist is no longer helping you to keep the Tip straight, witch means the Tip is only at the right distance and angle, less than 10 inches as you move left to right. You will struggle to apply a good pattern and overlapp. There's going to be high and low build on the paint and Stop / Start streaks, perhaps so bad you need to paint the whole house again. Graco fixes spitting with the CleanShot valve. It works great when you're spraying ceilings etc. But for work, like in this video. Use only the gun. Because it gives you much more control. And trust me, if you're not used to spraying, extension poles makes it 10 times harder. Its like holding a garden hose 3 feet down the hose AND turning the water pressure ON and OFF. Well of coerce, since the extension pole is metal, its not that bad. But every time you pull the trigger you will shoot a line of paint, that may run. WRIST CONTROL is crucial and more so for DIY. You need to FEEL and SEE to be able spray with precision. With the right pressure and Tip you can go around windows with a piece of carboard/metal shield and hardly need to mask anything. Most paint manufactures have Tip recommendations. For this paint its probably 515. You can go above that, like a 1221 but that = a bigger machine and a lots of experience to put it on evenly. For a DIY I'd recommend a small tip orifice. Maybe 412 - 510 - 512. Lower = more control. Yes will need to move your arm and body more, but trust me, even grandma will do a great job.
@@mozartamadeus1580 I only have Graco machines, supposed to be the best and I got several, one 390st is almost 30 years old I think. So Graco is a very good brand for sure. Titan is also well known and Wagner. One thing that sets Graco apart is the spray gun, hoses and tips. The good news is, you can use those on Titan and Wagner. For a house, like in the video. You have overlapping siding and a relative small surfaces, a wall, end to end. This means its very easy to spray and almost any machine will give u good result. The overlapping panel breaks up most, if not all errors in your pattern. But if it's a Big flat wall. Then you need a machine strong enough to use large tips = wide Fan. A small tip orifice with narrow spray fan will not be a good choice for that type of spraying. Its hard to get a good overlapping pattern. But there are tricks for weaker machines. I recommend buy a used quality machine, instead of a cheap new one. They are very easy to fix, DIY. There's several good RUclipsrs that show how to DIY. If it holds pressure, no leak. Your good to go. It might look like it has been dipped in paint, but that's a good argument to ask for a better price. I'll give you a tip or two how you can clean it up with ease and make it look brand new. Post a link to whatever machine you consider, and I'll have a look. I also need to know what type of house you got.
"If you're the kind of person that gets disappointed by the quality of a contractor, then you're the kind of person who should do it yourself." Wise words.
I did paint a shed with double 5 vinyl siding, about 15 years ago and the paint 100% acrylic exterior that I bought at Sears, has held up remarkably good no chalking, in the sun just outside of Nashville Tn.
Thank you for all you have shown! I have remodeled my entire kitchen with your help. My entire bath with your help. And now my siding will be next! I have been looking at that sprayer for a while and been wanting to paint my vinyl siding. Thank you for giving us diy’ers so much help!
First time homeowner here as of this week and I just want to say my boyfriend and I love your videos! We watch all of them, even if they aren’t relevant to our current needs/wants 😅 you are AWESOME!
I've been doing home renovations lately. Just putting the final touches on my basement i finished. Next is the outside and afyer watchimg this im going to get one of these machines. We are going to stain our brick and paint the vinyl on garage as well. Great video thanks buddy. Ive gotten great info from you my friend. Very much appreciate it.
@Dustin Zilinsky I gave it a light pressure washing, but mainly to wet the surface down. The paint supplier said to do that before spraying the paint. I used a standard outdoor grade paint and applied to rock stucco. 10 years later and it's still good except for a little sun fading on the south side.
I always learn so many lessons from your videos, thank you. And you constantly make me laugh, that’s the best part of watching your content. You’re the best.
I painted my siding on my house this Spring with paintbrushes and paint I purchased at Lowe's home improvement and it looks fabulous and I spend almost nothing and it was very simple didn't even have to. Almost no prep work just grabbed some paint and a brush and a ladder music and got into the zone and got a suntan too.
@@zaneblane8160 outdoor 100% acrylic white. Acrylic paint is best for sticking to vinyl etc. Been 2 weeks and looks great. Also did the metal garage door. My neighbors think i bought a new garage door.
8:58 yep I already knew where you was going with this before ya said it…learned that trick quite a few years ago now from a painter I was working with when we were painter a bunch of brick apartments that had shrubs and bushes all around the front of em!
That last shot of the finished project really looks great! I came to look for info and examples on painting my gutters but after hearing you today, I’m thinking what else I can paint to get my money out of the machine. You mentioned basement ceilings and mine is open; thought about painting it black and also always wished I would have sprayed the poured concrete walls instead of rolling them because of the porous surface shows as black dots on the white walls. 🤔 looks like I’m talking myself into 3 painting projects, maybe do the wood fence one day.😅
just curious what kind of paint is that?? thank you so much for walking us through. what a money saver technique. really appreciate the contents of this video
We have a graco airless sprayer as well and i can tell you once you paint with it you will never want to go back to a brush or a roller. Not only will it look so much better its just way easier and faster. Yeah tapeing and covering everything sucks but once you get a process down its really not that bad. Oh and make sure you get the thinnest plastic you can. Dont make the mistake of buying 2 mill plastic sheeting as its way overkill and more expensive.
@Beverly Blanco absolutely, yes you can! You just have to cover the floor and anything you don't want painted. I would just do a search on RUclips on how to use an airless sprayer on your interior. I'm pretty sure Jeff (renovision) has one. They sell plastic sheeting in the paint department of the big box stores. It's very thin and a lot less expensive than regular plastic sheeting. Now I will say this if all your painting is a small guest room you might want to paint it the traditional way as setting up the sprayer ,tapeing etc for such a small job isn't really were an airless sprayer shines. Large and multiple rooms are more appropriate for using a sprayer. In our renovation, after we were done with everything except paint, we taped off the walls and floors and sprayed the ceilings first. Then we did the trim and let it dry for a couple of days. Then we masked off the trim and painted the walls. I can tell you spraying the trim will give you an excellent finish. Having zero brush marks is awesome! Our home looks like a professional painted it now. There is a natural order that professionals use when building a home. If you follow those steps and use the same methods and tools ,you'll have a far more chance of having a project look like a pro did it as opposed to a DIYer did it.
@@number1pappy wow, awesome reply, thank you. I've painted the small bathroom now i have 3 bedrooms, living, dining, kitchen, office, hallways and 2 more bathrooms lol. Luckily all the trim is stained wood so i don't have to paint it and luckily i like painting 😉
Great video. Have been painting my house with an X7.. Something that I am always paranoid about is that the wind will pick up overspray and land it on my neighbors cars. What's your experience with this?
Same here. Overspray on my vehicles has just become a fact of life lol. I worry more about the neighbors, so I wait for calm days, early morning for any spraying.
We used masking devices like that all the time when I was in the autotrade we always did the perimeter first of the window for example and then come back over that tape with the tape and masking film it seemed to work much easier because you always had a fresh surface to tape the film to that way
I find it easier to cut the plastic with the cutter attached to the dispenser.. don't remember if it was an option for the dispenser but whatever it was I opted for it
I did the math and yes it is cheaper to buy these items and do it yourself in bungalow style homes, however with a two story home I am not sure it is cheaper since you probably need two very tall ladders and you need to not be afraid of heights and going up and down quickly to avoid paint lines.
13:38 you freaked me out with that blurry grey anomaly mid way up the left side of the screen! I thought one of the backlights burned out on my TV screen!
Love this video. Only thing is that I wish you showed the process for different colored trim, which I think is probably more common. Paint trim first? Then mask, or use spray shield?
Which paint Fr SW are you using for that vinyl siding? You mentioned $40/gallon but SW says they have no idea which paint you are using. Thanks for the info.
Was jist talking to the wife about painting the siding instead of buying new siding its not old or in bad shape we bought the house 4 years ago and its a light tan color not our style plus we have redone the whole inside only bad thing is its a big an tall and built into a hill side so the front being 2 storgs or so the back is closer to 4 storys i want it to be a darker green or a dark grey tone we have bricks everywhere brick front porch side patio screanned in back porch with its own patio and a retaining wall for a garden 3 big flower beds bricked up and the house is coated all the way around so is the garage im proud of my home learned alot feom watching your videos so thank you
Well you made that look easy. I conquered using a spray can,and then moved onto sander, repair of french doors including stain and varnish, reglaze of same and rehung,, then it was caulking. All this year. I think its time to try this and save myself 20k. 😊
Those masking units have attachable serrated blades that will cut the paper or plastic film in a nice straight line. I couldn't imagine masking without the blade.
I bought this sprayer a few months ago to paint furniture (just use a different spray tip), but with an eye to painting my house. Good to see the technique, I sprayed a used china cabinet but haven't sprayed a house. My question is: do you have a link for the scaffolding? I don't see it in the list in the description.
Just a question off the subject of the video.... how do you get so motivated to do the work you do. You always seem so upbeat and enthusiastic. I wish I was like that about work...any tips? Cheers jeff
Very detailed and Insightful !! This Video shows exactly what I wanted to do to my house, but I was wondering if I can paint outside vinyl sidings in the area like Michigan where it gets very harsh climate in winter ?
vinyl has been painted for many years. for example there are still companies that paint the vinyl extrusion for their windows instead of making it with a dye. last forever.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Yeah but to make it last, doesn't that require specific preparation like creating a textured surface (through scuffing/sanding), and adhesion promoter prior to paint?
@IndependenceCityMotoring Perhaps you should be more specific with your question if you want a better answer? How old is thr vinyl you are trying to paint? You should definitely clean and degrease it first, like anytime you paint anything
A quick question about after painting. How would you recommend cleaning the siding every year? For example I usually power wash my siding but wouldn’t the paint eventually wear off after so many washes?
Checkout soft wash videos on RUclips. You really don't want to pressure wash siding, Soft wash is so much easier, you can make a solution of chlorine/water/surfactant (you'll need to cut the pool chlorine to about 1% strength, Google soft wash ratio and you should find a chart with water to chlorine ratio to get it to 1%). Apply with a pump up sprayer rated for bleach, let it dwell fora bit, then rinse. You want to test the soft wash solution on a small area first to ensure you don't damage anything.
Like to know is vinyl going to peel in about 5 years or less cause paint not soaking into vinyl . Back in the day clad boards one time smooth side was out paint peel easy . Then builder turn rough side out paint really lasted lot longer . Vinyl is final with paint peels . 1 of reason came out with vinyl . I did lot spraying back in my days . Shure product out there now have improved . How many years will paint last on vinyl ? That with good power wash clean siding is a must. Good job. Looks good. In my 70 and my house is vinyl I am watching you. I thinking like to do same to my house . I just hate to see peeling off ! Thanks for video .
awesome. one quick question: any issues with the gun "spitting" because you're using an extension wand? Seems like I cannot avoid it even with a brand new gun/sprayer (titan 440)
Hey Jeff, I have been looking at the application of epoxy products for home improvement projects and was wondering if an epoxy paint has been developed for exterior house painting? I would think it would be a game changer? Thoughts?
Do you have a video hidden somewhere about repainting old cedar shake siding? From what I see you don't have a video that quite matches up to what I need to do.
17:40 uh oh i already know that’s a bad sound to hear! Lmao I learned many years ago when I first started out as a helper one sure fire way to piss off the guy painting when you’re supposed to be keeping his pump runnin is to let him suck air😂
Come see me at City Furniture in The Villages Lake Sumter is about 30 minutes away if you need any furniture for the inside of the home, love the vids Jeff you’ve helped me a lot! Alex P.s. Seems like what ever could go wrong with the tape DID LOL
Bought this sprayer to paint my mobile home. I bought some extensions and a swivel to reach the upper part so i wouldn't have to climb up and down ladders , would you say this was a good idea
I am gonna be waiting over stucco and some wood, do I need to use a primer before painting it? So can I just throw paint on it without the primer? Please help. Please
Timely video! one question, don't you have to prep the vinyl or clean it prior to painting? I am looking to do with to my aluminum siding and see many videos of using a cleaner first on the siding prior to paint?
@14:07 ish....As an admitted DIYer who will litterly re-do a project over again as many times as it takes to get it as perfect as a pro would do . I'm just having a hard getting the comment, "Who cares if a little paint gets on the roof, only people at the airport will see it" out of my head! Lol!
Oh god, its always good to have a giggle. Jeff does it for me. Plus, he gets all pissed off when things go a bit sideways, or he out something down and had to backtrack. Lol. I get it. Jeff, youre an awesome wanker! Cheers

Professional tip. Use pump saver to prime your new pump before you use it and to store it after clean it.saves the packings and or diaphragm.
Behind the bush is a place to use your brush or mini roller. Ratchet strap or ropes are helpful to pull the bush from the house.

Awesome!!! I just bought one of this sprayer and would love if you can show us how you clean it up when you are done painting 👍👍👍
just run it through with warm soapy water and then just warm water.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Cool thanks that was easy!!!! 😁
Well you made that look easy. I conquered using a spray can,and then moved onto sander, repair of french doors including stain and varnish, reglaze of same and rehung,, then it was caulking. All this year. I think its time to try this and save myself 20k. 😊
Those masking units have attachable serrated blades that will cut the paper or plastic film in a nice straight line. I couldn't imagine masking without the blade.
Can you please do a video on painting Hardie board siding as well as the prep work and caulking properly? Thank you.
Do you need to prime first before painting?
Where in Fla.? Come to see my house in Saint Augustine going up for sale after I paint thanks to you. Will give you a good deal.
This was your screen testing for the movie called "Grumpy old Men." 😅❤
I bought this sprayer a few months ago to paint furniture (just use a different spray tip), but with an eye to painting my house. Good to see the technique, I sprayed a used china cabinet but haven't sprayed a house. My question is: do you have a link for the scaffolding? I don't see it in the list in the description.
Another fantastic video! Thank you!
Thank you. Cheers!
a tip with that tape/plastic combo always make it longer and use scissors to cut the plastic start at bottom where all layers is.
Just a question off the subject of the video.... how do you get so motivated to do the work you do. You always seem so upbeat and enthusiastic. I wish I was like that about work...any tips? Cheers jeff
He seemed more aggravated and grumpy than upbeat and enthusiastic 😂
Hi Jeff,
Amazing work.
Can we paint asphalt shingles?
Very detailed and Insightful !! This Video shows exactly what I wanted to do to my house, but I was wondering if I can paint outside vinyl sidings in the area like Michigan where it gets very harsh climate in winter ?
Amazing work as always. Thank you for the information and great content :)
Did you use the paint straight out of the can or did you add water/other substance to it to thin it?
Will this spray paint all over my neighborhood?
😂 It does it all
So it will long term stick to vinyl without scuffing it first and adhesion promoter?
Why would you scuff it? It is vinyl.
@@joseph7105 For mechanical adhesion. Vinyl/plastic is too slick for paint to strongly adhere.
vinyl has been painted for many years. for example there are still companies that paint the vinyl extrusion for their windows instead of making it with a dye. last forever.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Yeah but to make it last, doesn't that require specific preparation like creating a textured surface (through scuffing/sanding), and adhesion promoter prior to paint?
@IndependenceCityMotoring Perhaps you should be more specific with your question if you want a better answer? How old is thr vinyl you are trying to paint? You should definitely clean and degrease it first, like anytime you paint anything
A quick question about after painting. How would you recommend cleaning the siding every year? For example I usually power wash my siding but wouldn’t the paint eventually wear off after so many washes?
Checkout soft wash videos on RUclips. You really don't want to pressure wash siding, Soft wash is so much easier, you can make a solution of chlorine/water/surfactant (you'll need to cut the pool chlorine to about 1% strength, Google soft wash ratio and you should find a chart with water to chlorine ratio to get it to 1%). Apply with a pump up sprayer rated for bleach, let it dwell fora bit, then rinse. You want to test the soft wash solution on a small area first to ensure you don't damage anything.
Oil based for exterior right? Not Latex?
Like to know is vinyl going to peel in about 5 years or less cause paint not soaking into vinyl . Back in the day clad boards one time smooth side was out paint peel easy . Then builder turn rough side out paint really lasted lot longer . Vinyl is final with paint peels . 1 of reason came out with vinyl . I did lot spraying back in my days . Shure product out there now have improved . How many years will paint last on vinyl ? That with good power wash clean siding is a must. Good job. Looks good. In my 70 and my house is vinyl I am watching you. I thinking like to do same to my house . I just hate to see peeling off ! Thanks for video .
does this technique work for aluminum siding?
What kind of paint you using? Thank you
What are your thoughts on Benjamin Moore paint and Benjamin Moore stores in general?
It would help to show sprayer clean up, especially during the lunch breaks, next day etc.
awesome. one quick question: any issues with the gun "spitting" because you're using an extension wand? Seems like I cannot avoid it even with a brand new gun/sprayer (titan 440)
might be the paint! mine was fine as long as I adjusted the pressure.
Hey Jeff, I have been looking at the application of epoxy products for home improvement projects and was wondering if an epoxy paint has been developed for exterior house painting? I would think it would be a game changer? Thoughts?
Do you have a video hidden somewhere about repainting old cedar shake siding? From what I see you don't have a video that quite matches up to what I need to do.
17:40 uh oh i already know that’s a bad sound to hear! Lmao I learned many years ago when I first started out as a helper one sure fire way to piss off the guy painting when you’re supposed to be keeping his pump runnin is to let him suck air😂
There is no need for sanding the aluminum before painting?
Jeff what about expansion and contraction of vinyl? Won’t there be paint gaps when the vinyl contracts in cold months ?
There could be, but that's not important today 😂
It will you go back over it a couple times
I actually did this during february which is the cold month. Cheers!
Come see me at City Furniture in The Villages Lake Sumter is about 30 minutes away if you need any furniture for the inside of the home, love the vids Jeff you’ve helped me a lot!
Alex
P.s. Seems like what ever could go wrong with the tape DID LOL
fighting a bad hamstring injury , the wind, and a machine with no cutting blade. makes for a frustrated project. Cheers!
"Tell me a Bush, that doesn't need a good trim" hahahahahaha, love Canadian humor.
Bought this sprayer to paint my mobile home. I bought some extensions and a swivel to reach the upper part so i wouldn't have to climb up and down ladders , would you say this was a good idea
Jeff's painting the whole trailer park 😆
🤔
My guyyy.. they make those tape guns with a forward facing ripping blade 😬 suuuper easy.
I am gonna be waiting over stucco and some wood, do I need to use a primer before painting it? So can I just throw paint on it without the primer? Please help. Please
What type of paint is used for vinyl?since I have heard that some paint will make vinyl warp with the sun. Thanks,
Timely video! one question, don't you have to prep the vinyl or clean it prior to painting? I am looking to do with to my aluminum siding and see many videos of using a cleaner first on the siding prior to paint?
Probably should
What kind of paint was used for the siding??
Will this also work for limewashing?
@14:07 ish....As an admitted DIYer who will litterly re-do a project over again as many times as it takes to get it as perfect as a pro would do . I'm just having a hard getting the comment, "Who cares if a little paint gets on the roof, only people at the airport will see it" out of my head! Lol!
7:10 sounds like Bert again from Sesame Street😂 Bert and Ernie…
Great content
Oh god, its always good to have a giggle. Jeff does it for me. Plus, he gets all pissed off when things go a bit sideways, or he out something down and had to backtrack. Lol. I get it. Jeff, youre an awesome wanker! Cheers
Never strained the paint, saw you spray an uncovered window, need to add floetrol for those pumps and avoid runs
