Airless Spraying Doors in Place, Paint and Masking Process Tutorial

Hey Everyone. I made a video on the fly at work.... again finally.
Leave feedback and questions in the comments.
I prepped out and double coated 3 exterior entry doors in about 5 or 6 hours, with some other tasks mixed in.
This is the method I like to use, especially when coating with RED paint, Fast Dry paint, and smoother surfaces... those all make brushing and rolling much less ideal.
2 of the 3 doors required carbide-bladed scraping and a brush coat of Triple Thick Peel Stop to solve a bunch of little spots of old paint that had failed. With that, a good sanding, and 2 coats of Command Satin, there was a huge improvement for the new coating,
Command Satin dries quick and is pretty durable when used appropriately and for the right purposes.
Graco 490 PC Pro , 310 FFLP tip, 1500- 1600 psi, 2 coats at under 3 wet mil.
~ 45 minutes between coats
~ 1 hr before reassembly of door knobs.
weather stripping can stay out overnight to avoid sticking, though command does much better than most paints in that regard.

Thanks Luis

dang ..... mini roll by the time you mask off half of that mess .... I'm sure you are doing a great job , but that looks like mini roller time to me

[@XCPainter]

Oh I know, I know.. I was going for a spray finish, red is more of a hassle to cut door heels by brush and around hinges. The other 3 doors are 6 panels and with window trim, and sun was on the south side door so I'd rather spray each coat in about 15 - 30 seconds... so spray job it is.

[@topolicm]

nicely done. What size nozzle do you use and what machine do you have?

[@XCPainter]

Spraying with a Graco 490, 310 tip on this one

[@topolicm]

thank you...

Why are you wearing a P100 filter? Shouldn't it be something that deals with organic solvents?

[@XCPainter]

@@asdfqwertybacktick it's acrylic paint. The p100 deals with nuisance vapors and particles and is enough for this task.

[@greggmclaughlin9047]

Why why why. How are you going to paint the bottom where they ALWAYS swell from not being painted. Wouldn't popping the hinge pins be easier anyway?

[@XCPainter]

Thanks for asking. These metal doors probably won't swell at the bottom like wood does.
There are 4 doors on this house and garage to paint red. There's no way I would pull 4 exterior doors off an occupied home to paint 2 sides of the doors. (Homeowners and pet dog at home.)
The hinges on 3 doors are old, 1 is newer... the OLD hinge pins are not going to pull easy if at all, and would be a big hassle trying to get them lined up and installed after being freshly painted. If anything I'd pull the screws and hinges, not pins.
Also, there is no yard space to even spray doors off the jamb, let alone 4 of them... the weather is windy here, sometimes even sprinkling or downpouring.
If I get rained on, I can pack up tools and leave but not if there's doors sitting on sawhorses on this tiny property that need to be hung again.
Those are some of the reasons.

[@greggmclaughlin9047]

Understood. I'm a carpenter, so duh to me. You do nice work. Now go home and get your shine box.😁
