- This is how you paint when you see rain clouds coming!! I was just working on this exterior and got some extended footage that a sped up into 1 minute's worth of video.
I'm using a Graco Ultra Max II 695, airless sprayer to shoot this exterior. Using a 517 tip, a 10" and 20" gun extension and Miller Paint.
Be safe while working on renovation and painting projects. Use all equipment correctly, and use the required PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) like respirators, gloves, boots, hard hats, eye protection where applicable.

Nice work👌 usually I try to stay on the ground as much as I can but dam they keep building these houses taller and taller!
Uggh you make it look so easy. Think I'm gonna have a heart attack when I'm at the top of the ladder😫
That was me today 😩 thought I was gonna die
Been watching videos like this for the last hour and I learned more in 1:15 vid of a guy spraying than all the 30 mins where they’re talking explaining lol
You are a machine XC! Anyone would be lucky to have you on their crew! Respect ✊
Thanks buddy!!
I have a thumbs up the first time you climbed that ladder. Everything after that was a bonus.
Respect to you, nice job, I was happy to see you finish off on ground level, I don’t like heights lol
Wow that's high....as always great video love your work.
That leg workout tho! Nicely done
Good job dude, good speed and efficient. Not a single move wasted
Thank you very much
Respect! Moving that ladder ain’t easy
XC must of done a lot of prep on this size of house! Gooseneck guy Ottawa Canada! Cheers! Nice!
nice video brother man! yeeew!
Nice work sir
This video is so dope
Makes me want to play Dinky Kong. But seriously a skilled individual making hard work look easy.
Lol nice one 🤙🤙🤙
😂getting ready to do just that 😂 ah the joy❤
Have fun out there and be safe
Spider man good job keep up the good work👍🍻
Now I want to see the finished look.
This guy is an animal, dang
We got this
Dope
muito bom amigo
Isaac Assis hola Amigo como esta?
Thank God we have lifts.
Wow, XC great video! That has to be at least 40' ladder right. The harp attached to the ladder must give you confidence to lean over a bit more right. I have a Wagner harp attached to my ladders. Did you powerwash before painting? I am sure you did.
That extension for spray tip is the key.
Brian Mowers That ladder is a 36'. The ground is sloped away from the house and is wet dirt, making a potential for ladder slipage. Had to use "leg levelers", and pay close attention to ladder (feet) placement and I pushed a stake in front of the feet a couple times for more security.
Good !it takes just as long or more just to mask the windows good like this
Yep, working safely to mask this one side (with slightly sloped ground) about 25-30 minutes.
Next level. Awesome job! What tip did you use?? I noticed the wide spray pattern.
Thanks. I used a 517 tip that day, which is about the largest size anyone would use... due to the large walls and nothing around to overspray. 517 puts out a good amount of paint so you have to be good with spraying to avoid piling it up or leaving spray pattern marks.
A 515 is about the perfect size to spray many exteriors, hardiplank, lap siding, and a smaller size can be utilized as well.
I thank you soon im taking vacation im thinking to paint my 32 feet building
75 seconds to spray a gaff man must be making a fortune😜
I am a woman and I like Diy everything possible. I came accross your videos and love that you tell it all. I am about to paint my house ( exterior) The top part is wood and bottom is masonry. I would like to paint the stones gray ( they are kind of brownish) but more naturally, not covering the stone completely. Which paint could I use for the stones, please? And what should I use to clean them first? I apreciate the help and I am subscribing bcse you deserve. Thank you
Hi there, sorry for rhe late response. For cleaning, you can use a eco friendly house cleaner, like Ben Moore "Clean " or krud kutter "House Cleaner". A soft scrub brush and pressure wash everywhere after soaping it up.
Check out a local paint store for masonry primer for the bottom section of house, and you can use a similar paint or regular acrylic paint.
How did you not scrape the fresh paint when placing ladder on it after painting it?
I was placing the ladder on fhe trim boards
Why did you move the ladder back and forth? Seems working your way from top down would be faster. Is that right?
There are a few reasons why you can't successfully spray in a tall column pattern... I was spraying out the soffits up top, along with the top section that requires certain ladder sets. Also there's different ladder spacing from the wall requiring an extension wand on the lower sections.
3rd reason is that the drying paint would create tall skinny sections where the overlaps would flash very badly.
How do you move the ladder so easily? I have so much trouble moving the 40’ alone. Respect.
Little pratice, and yeah the 40's are so heavy!
In this video, I only scooted the top or bottom over, one at a time instead of lifting the top away from wall and carrying it.
How tall is that ladder? You make it look simple 💪 nice job
Thank you it's a 36 footer 👍
I’m a painter, I however get nervous that I’m not setting my ladders correctly.
Would you mind explaining the leader set up you have there. I would greatly appreciate it.
The ground sloped slightly dowhill away from the house, which can be quite dangerous with the foot slippage. So on this one, I pounded a stake (or my 5 in 1) into the ground in front of the ladder to hold it. Also, making sure the feet are dug into the ground a little.
The method I used on these ladder positions, was so the ladder never got in the way of my spray pattern.
Was great for spec homes, but have to treat custom homes with more caution as to not damage roof tabs or gutters up top.
I spent about 2 weeks painting the exterior of our house. That was over 2 years ago. Still havnt finished the top level
That's really good time for a repaint or any full project. This one took me 6 days and it was new construction, so faster production since I did a smaller amount of prep, primer.
I would take 2-3 weeks on a good sized repaint myself.
@Street Performance Bikes you're right there's a lot involved and a lot that can o sideways from what is planned.
When the wood goes with the paint, that is called wood failure usually dye to UV rays going through the original coating for years, it destroys the lignin (glues wood cells together) and the wood falls apart on a cellular level.
I'm doing a Victorian style home now. It's like restoration of sorts instead of just a repaint. Lots of sanding to raw wood like you did.
094 Fresh Start oil primer is great stuff.
Impressive! Did you mask up the eaves first? Or just paint them separately afterwards?
Thanks, eaves (soffits) went the same color as siding. I sprayed the soffits 1st on each ladder move, before spraying the siding.
Hi buddy, i haven’t sprayed the out side of a house before , is the lap joins visible ? do you back roll last coat,
Artie6937 hi there yeah your lap marks from section to section can show if you don't feather it out or if you were to make a harsh stop and it made a line, or if you just put too much on the overlap. I try to do my overlap a tiny bit lighter than what's right in front of me and I try to hit everything twice. Now this is talking about Hardiplank siding in particular. As for back rolling if you're working with a rough wood or a porous surface it helps greatly to backroll and it makes the entire surface even and it's going to give the paint adhesion. Hardiplank siding does not need to be back rolled in my opinion if you can spray evenly
Artie6937 also if you are back rolling, it's important to backroll the first coat and sometimes the second coat. Sometimes you can skip back rolling on the second coat as long as you can spray it very evenly
Where your videos at? It’s been a minute
I'll work at posting some stuff, thank you
I'm doing an exterior with some pretty sloped ground. Are leg levelers easy and safe to use? Also I've never sprayed an exterior before but it's so fast. A lot of pros do it but what happens to the mist and overspray when you end your pass off the substrate and goes in the air does it dry up and turn to dust?
Hi there! Leg levelers are an excellent addition to extension ladders and very crucial in fact. There are different brands and thus they have differences in how they function. There are manually adjustable models and there are automatic adjust models... Both work great and there are pros and cons with both. I like the auto adjust by Werner because they are quick, easy, and have the same type of aluminum feet that their ladders have. They grip the ground very well.
Some of the manually adjustable versions have circle shaped feet that has a rubber footprint... those are okay on some surfaces, but not great at gripping loose dirt or grass sometimes.
As far as spray work goes... it does take practice to spray well and even, and avoid issues. Mentoring from someone or training GREATLY helps.
Overspray from acrylic paints will travel in the air so you have to minimize or cut out "Blow-by" or overspray at the corners and while spraying soffits. Have to avoid shooting paint into the air. Cars should be moved away and all ground and objects should be covered with drop cloths.
@@XCPainter Thanks for you reply! I've sprayed a lot of interior cabs/trim/doors but is spraying outdoors on previously painted cedar a big learning curve and do ladder stabilizers make a big difference?
@@genosciacca1816 painting cedar is very doable. Is the cedar texture really rough or smooth already? Ladder stabilizer up top can help, though I rarely use them unless I specifically need to be held away from the building
@@XCPainter It's fairly smooth already. I know you're a high end painter because I've seen your videos so I appreciate the info. After watching you knock that house out I'm like forget the brush and roll. I'll be using a flat paint and the customer wants a cheaper paint since it's just a sell. He wants to go the box store route which I'm not too familiar with their products like I am with Ben and Sherwin. Their prices are cheaper than the a100 from SW I like so I don't know what product I'll be working with. I saw some commercial painters spraying cinder blocks yesterday and I didn't see any mist floating around however I'll be using a Titan 400 on a skid with a 515 lp tip and they had a much nicer larger rig if that matters. The ladders levelers also by Werner look good I hope they work or I'll be dead.
@@genosciacca1816 that's good that the siding is fairly smooth. It might not need a backroll at all then. Just spray regular and not too heavy.
Did you paint the window trim a different color? If so, did you use a roller or a paint brush?
Yes the trim was painted White by mini roller and brush.
Not bad👍
Hi, boss, it is OK for the machine to work on high level areas, I mean if the pressure is enough
Hi. Are you referring to going up a couple stories above the level of the sprayer?
There is a small amount of difference in pumping the paint up higher. Most of the time your standard size sprayer will work fine.
In a job like that, did you get any overlap marks? Maybe I didnt see you fan the paint since it was on triple speed.
I would like to say no. There weren't any visible issues
XC Painter great job btw! Currently painting the exterior of my house. 1 side down....3 to go!
Wish I had a 36’ foot ladder though!
Did you paint the window trim before spraying?
I painted the trim afterwards
Are these the really fast ones that paint a house in 10 min? I watched that happen next door
This took me 5 or 6 days by myself. There's accent color gables in front and the lower soffits in front are also whitewashed t&g.
Hey just a question, are you not a fan of ladder jacks and planks? That size house, seems like they would cut down on ladder jostling. I am a small business painting operator. Just me, so i feel your pain on lone leg work. Great work, be safe!
I do like planks, im using mine right now actually
But the logistics to use planks on a 3 story house would take too long and wear out s solo painter
Hi I have a question is there one coat Or to did you put Another coat after it’s dry or That is enough? Please can you let me know I would like to know
For these particular new construction homes (and many)... they are only specced for 1 coat. Paint company says it'll work, that's all builder wants, and all they budget for. So this is one good coat sprayed on wet. (Not excess though).
Thank you for answer what finish you recommend for exterior houses and what kind of paint you recommend?
@@Robert-P1 depends on what type of siding and what style of home, or how fancy it needs to look. For hardi-plank siding, flat is highly recommended... there are many choices in brand and product, we like to use Miller Paint Acri-lite or Evolution. Benjamin Moore Mooregard or Regal select are good quality. Sherwin williams duration is another option.
Great video! Just wondering, no backbrush or back roll?
Thanks! It's a new construction spec home with hardi plank siding. Backrolling would be overkill on these and it also bridges the siding boards together which is not good.
Hey ZC Ive been trying to get used to using a plastic bag to lone my trays but Ibthink Im doing something wrong. You should postva video about how to wrap a tray so I can see how you do it. I've found the bag is either to tight or too loose and becomes its own problem. TIA
Brian Wagner I use painter's plastic to line my trays when I do that.
He doesn't know how painting a ext that's not the right way I can teach him how do it we painted between 400-600 houses every year
@@griscuevas318 Please explain what I did wrong and how I should do this house. Thanks!
@@griscuevas318 hilarious, but okay
@@griscuevas318 how come ? I dont find any painting videos of does 400 600 houses in you're channel, give this guy credit for the time sharing hes job
XC, will you go back and do the window trim a different color or just leave it mono?
Brian Mowers lots of trim painting to be done. Everything is getting trimmed in a white color, corner boards, belly bands, barge boards, fascias.
May i know which machine and sprayer gun are you using for this project? Thanks.
It's a Graco 695
💦반갑습니다,수고하십니다,항상건겅하시고 복받으시길바랍니다,,,Elastic coating (탄성코트)work on veranda wall....
Did the paint dry that quick that you could put the ladder back over it? Honest question
No, paint is still wet. I placed the ladder on the belly band so nothing was messed up. The belly band gets trimmed out in white.
@@XCPainter how long are you waiting to put on the second coat? I'm doing my first house with a sprayer and it's in the high 70s and low 80s here. Aluminum siding and brick that's already painted.
@@michaelmcgee2026 a safe recommendation would be about 4 hrs... with judgement and if the first coat wasn't put on thick.... I'd say after it's dry to the touch, wait another hour. (Or more) But it's up to you.
Where are the videos at?
Do you paint for a living? Been checking out your channel...(I do it part time). For past 10 years would like to do it full time. It’s hard in PA....(winters are a pain).
Yes I've bren been painting for 23 years as an emplyee/lead painter for several companies. Not working currently due to the situation at hand.
@@XCPainter why not go out on your own?
@@oregonsdank I am doing that now
@XC Painter how long did it take in real-time to paint this side
how much time did that wall take?
To spray this side of the house it was approx 30 minutes including a trip to the spray pump to refill. The ladder sets took a little bit longer than usual because the ground slopes away from the house and I drove a stake into the ground to help secure ladder on each move.
No need to back roll on wood siding like that?
This is hardi plank siding
Also did you do prime bfore tje paint or no?
I did not prime the sidng or soffits for this home.
I wanna do my house would need a ladder like that tall any tips in setting up the ladder that would be great
Okay, here's one for your all. How can you paint a two story like this and avoid getting the lines that are inevitable when spraying a house like this? After this dries you will see lines at the correct angel while looking at the house. These lines exists on a lot of homes in all our neighborhoods.
You have to "fan out" or feather out your sections, plus putting more paint in the field of each section compared to the overlap will help.
Also overlapping a good amount so all areas are getting hit more than once is a big help
@@XCPainter Excellent recommendations. When you look at your work when your all done, do you have many of those lines I'm talking about remaining? Or does your method remove most compared to let's say, rolling out a 1 story on the ground, where you can 100% get rid of the lines. Thanks for the insight!
@@seanpetersen9326 Experience and technique absolutely help out, and a major percentage of jobs completed are going to look excellent.
I used to spray oil based exteriors... you had to be trained to spray very very particularly.
Also keep in mind there is no perfect.... I can always do my best, using the resources at hand and within the parameters of the job scope.
Yes, ramblers are more feasible to spray sections out without visible issues.
Houses on hill sides, large sides, tall, etc... challenging to say the least.
@@XCPainter thanks you for your insight. I can tell your skilled!
How big is that ladder
I think that's a 36 footer
i refuse to paint big houses anymore unless im getting 3x the price everyone else charges
Why is that. Been painting exteriors all summer. None huge yet. Is the size increase not relative to the price increase in difficulty.
i need the name of this ladder
It's a Werner
How much paint did you use?
About 22-23 gallons for the body color and 6 for trim
Paint for this side was probably about 4 gallons
@@XCPainter Thanks! If you brushed and rolled would it be about the same?
@@genosciacca1816 I'm not sure, but i would think it would take much more paint to brush/roll
using a long arm will help with coverage I seen lap lines in your technique after a year or two u will really see thin areas in that wall
How high is that peak
It's a 40 foot peak. The ladder is a 36 I think
Bro come work with me.$$$
I throw up watch that, that was to high lol
If you started running a crew of 3 or 4 youd be be putting back a couple grand a day brother. Get an old man and a pot tender!!!
just have to do a great job at quality control. we see a lot of bad painters

Does not show the effort in prep work to be able to just spray with airless!
Correct, the prep work is masking windows, moving ladders, setting up sprayer, straining paint, dusting siding off, getting my respirator and gear on, etc, etc.
There are pine soffits up front that get a quick 180 grit sand with the sander and whitewashed, there's accent color gables in front that get masked and sprayed a second color...
I have no reason to show all that in this video.
Sorry wasn’t meant to be a form a criticism at all! Just want to make sure folks know that there’s a lot more to getting a great paint job. Thanks for the video - cheers!
@@ridgewoodgardens6253 okay thank you, yes lots to do
the fucked up shit is he needs to do one more coat lml
@@user-ow6pd3yr4g the builders, architects, paint manufacturers, and even the siding manufacturer, make the specs on these spec home developments, not the employees of the sub contractors.
Keep slamming your ladder into fresh paint...
Thanks for the advice, but the ladder is contacting the "Belly Band" which will be brush and rolled the White trim paint after the body is done.
How are you not leaving ladder marks in the wet paint? We wouldn’t lean our ladder against our wet paint like that. What am I missing here?
I'm leaning it against the roofline, and the belly band which isn't getting sprayed solid wet, and will get trimmed out
If you climb a ladder 1000 times good chance you might fall once. Stopped doing crazy stuff like this when I hit 62. Be careful
Definitely can be or is dangerous when something goes wrong.
Have the ladder set up on solid ground and level. Ladders "Dogs" locked and ladder in good condition.
I had a friend who passed away after falling from a 6ft ladder a few years back.. brain swelled up and was on life support until the next day.
