Paint Life TV I’d 3 quotes to paint the exterior of my house. All 3 came in around 8k. This seems very high, I cant afford it. How much would you charge for a 2700sq ft 2 story house?
Do you ship to india?
Should try tikkurilla anti reflex2
Hi guys I'm spaying my own home would you recommend spraying ceiling walls and then doors/ trim?
Hey man, just wanted to say I love your channel.
I was renovating my first house, trying to get it ready for renters. As soon as I spent 2 days prepping the house for spraying, I got a 4 day notice deployment overseas. When I came back, I got orders to leave the area. I ended up paying painters to come and get it ready for the renters.
I don’t regret the hours and hours of your content I consumed learning tips or the equipment I bought but didn’t use. The house looks great, it’s producing income, and now I have two houses in my old city making income, while I’m renting in my new city.
You’re providing great information and your content has gotten better and better. I don’t watch that much anymore, but stay subbed out of principle. Keep it up, Dude. Glad you’re prospering.

Thanks great video, amazed at the different pressures for the paint.
Awesome technique man, Boise local as well, working for apartment maintenance here and I really appreciate you sharing knowledge!
I like the experimenting while giving us the tips. You should do more like this.
you give easy to follow directions much appreciated
Professional!!! Informative! Nice!
Great channel. Thank you.
Nothing looks as classy as a well painted ceiling👍 Same problem in the UK getting a quality white
Another great video !!!👍👍👍
Thank you🤙
Hey man, watch your stuff all the time. I started painting for myself back in Feb(2019). I do all interiors, decks, and a lot of cabinets, so watching your spraying videos makes me want to start spraying everything I can. Where I’m located I can’t make the kind of money you guys can, people just won’t pay what it’s actually worth, and I’d love some advise on everything I need to spray. Like what type of sprayer, gun, tip, hoses, etc that I could buy, without breaking the bank, to make my work somewhat easier.
Good video Chris. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
I love your work 👍🏽
Thank you🤙
Since chb is hard to find these days, I've found valspar ultra ceiling covers great, its pretty thick, but it dries basically deas flat and is around 125 a 5gal bucket. I actually like the valspar wall paints as well. Ultra and signature are both affordable paint options that i prefer to cashmere in many cases
I like Sico ceiling paint it blends great
I don't use a sprayer to paint ceilings but I use royal high hiding white flat by Ace. I have always liked it. Doesn't splatter on smooth ceilings and easy to touch up.
Thanks again! I subbed!
Another great video Chris. I have been using Eminence based off your recommendations over the years. When did the reformulation happen? What don't you like about it after the reformulation? Please educate us so we know what to watch out for. Thanks.
Glidden all the way. Their Diamond paint is awesome. They are ppg now( uugghhh) but the Glidden name still means quality. I painted professionally for over 40 years. I used to get Ultra Hide from the Glidden store for $9 a gallon. I would box the paints if more than a gallon, adding a small amount of water and about half a pint of Floetrol. It would never spatter, and always dried slowly so cut and roll were flawless and blended as if sprayed even when there was a lot of cutting in
As painting for many years l’ve found adding Floetro to the top coat gives me a little more open time for a wet edge while spraying large areas and is better for the tips .
Hi Chris, love your channel very informative. Have an unrelated question to this video. I want to paint my cabinets and from what I've researched, Sherwin William's precat lacquer is a really good option. I stopped by my local Sherwin William's product finishes store and was a bit surprised at their take in my situation. I was told I needed to sand my cabinets bare before applying their precat primer. Thought I could get away with a deglosser or just scuffing. Any input would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance and keep up the good work
Your videos are extremely helpful, I appreciate the time & effort it takes you to create these. Thank you!
I have a large (1400sf) garage ceiling I want use my Graco Magnum Project airless sprayer on. The ceiling is 13 ft and I will be using a roll-around scaffold. How can I avoid "Holiday" spots when moving to the next section? And will I need back roll it or spray and forget?
Thank you!
Awesome
Thank you I have been rolling with multiple paints and they all look terrible. I will try spraying I think it is the answer with the paint available today.
Watching your videos helped me so much!
Thank you!😀
It's been a year since this video was posted
By now I'm sure you have tried some other ceiling paint for spraying
Which one is your favorite now?
(Using graco 395)
Glad I could help!
My go to ceiling paint is Speedhide Pro EV flat with a drop of black colorant for every gallon. Give it a shot if you have a PPG company store nearby.
Our go to ceiling paint is Sherwin Williams CHB, we just did a new construction job with Benjamin Moore Super Hide, it was pretty good, I would say comparable to the CHB.
Hi do the superhide zero voc it rolls much better then the chb,at least for me.
Great video. True professional. What was the paint that u no longer use because it was reformulated?
thank you!
You're welcome!
On ceilings I spray one direction then backroll the opposite direction, comes out perfect.
We just used this Glidden ceiling paint on one of my job last week, very thin very runny hard to cover in one coat even white on white. I'm not pro painter I used roller not sprayer, guess it's might be perfect for sprayer.
Thank you
Your welcome👍
Hey Chris,,
Video idea,
How tape has revolutionized the industry,
Remember cutting in red dining rooms on white ceilings,
Also in that talk is about how good a painter was defined by how good you cut in
Your the man,,happy Painting

i just sprayed a whole house with ppg ultra hide flat ceilings eggshell walls i was impressed for the price i believe its better than pro mar 200 the eggshell also laid very well on the walls no issues with lap marks but you are correct the ceiling paint did finger but dried ok the eggshell did not finger tho
I am guessing the paint you no longer use is the sherwin-williams for ceilings but do you use there paint for walls, exterior, etc?
You stated that you're using a Titan 440. I'm an avid DIYer and am going to be painting the exterior and interior or several rental properties. Would you recommend the 440 or other sprayer? Thanks, and love your videos.
Can I use regular masking tape to tape around walls to drop plastic? Or should I use blue tape. I want to paint all my ceilings of my home and spray them. I know the blue tape is a little more expensive. Thanks and great videos. Love them.
i always use dulux 7700 ceiling paint...never had a problem spraying it. Graco 512 or 515 tips.
Not sure if anyone else have mentioned this but as of 2012 Glidden was purchased by PPG and is classified as PPG lower-end paint.
I know you use a lot of SW paint what was your old ceiling paint?
Thank you for this! I appreciate how clear, concise, and well made this is.
Best part of the video? @6:45 there is a nice waterstamp of Romans 1:16-17 "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: " God Bless ✟
tonight the Answer I have been seeking for weeks has come and clearly. Yes, I put a Guage on my Greco airless spray painter. The Pressure is given let's say spray with 1000 psi you look at the pump and say it's 1000 and it's still wrong. I am using the correct low tip for what is going on. But tonight I Must thank the boss theidahopainter. finally stated clearly at the gun. I haven't used spray equipment in a long time and You and your crew have brought me right back up to speed a very big thank you Still love getting one of the old guys. yes, older now but still want to. Just like the old and young bull.
im about to do a job with valspar 2000 ceiling paint i been using behrs dead flat for a while with good results wish me luck lol

What rack head are you using the titan tips with?
Hi Chris, In this video you mention a celing paint you used to use but don't mention the product name. Assuming you are referring to a SW product you mention in other older ceiling videos. Do you have a recommendation at this time? Oh and I'll be doing this with an airless sprayer. BTW thanks for your videos. They've shown some very good tips that us novices would find out the hard way.
Have you used CHB by Shermin Williams on your ceilings
Not sure if you have sherwin Williams in your area, was wondering if you ever used that brand
i have a ceiling im working on ....but there are some old paint lap marks from previous paint job ? would spraying ceiling fix it ?
Have you done a video on painting an exposed basement ceiling or could you do one ?
My SOP is to seal the area knock the dust out with a blower let it settle then vacuum everything including the surfaces I am painting. Dust and dirt are often a big problem in basements. Then I spray shellack and double coat with the body coat. If your using a color have your paint store tint the primer to half the value of the color. That way your double coat will cover for sure.
420th like. What about back rolling the ceiling? after spraying it
🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏽
Still learning how to spray.. I stain blocked the ceiling and bankrolled. Sprayed a surfacer on the ceiling which made everything smooth. Then swapped to ceiling paint.. Benjamin Moores ceiling paint. Sprayed first coat. With a 514 fflp tip and came back next day and you could see what looked like ripples all the way down the ceiling... I swear I had the pressure dialed in... I was test shooting on a wall behind cabinets.. Sprayed it... everything looked good wet. Looked terrible dry lol... uuugh. So I Sprayed and quickly bankrolled a second coat on... but could see flashing.. so waited and then cut and rolled the whole ceiling and left for the day... the ceiling is about 8ft high. Runs front of house to back of house with windows on either side... I swear even an "ultra flat paint" the Benamin moore ceiling paint seems to have a slight luster to it... maybe it's because I can practically look down the ceiling because of it being low and a long run.. there almost seems to be a slight Lustre to the supposed flat ceiling paint.. I can't figure it out. Hopefully it looks good in the morning.. I wonder if maybe not letting off the trigger was changing the spray pattern on my first pass... from the flashing I could see it looked like maybe the spray pattern was heavier in the center and not even all the way to the feathered edges... so the thicker paint made lines and flashed from being slightly shinier.. it was like waves running the width of the ceiling front to back lol... just bad...
6:14 Ceiling - PPG Ultra Hide Zero - Pure White / Dead Flat
I used to use Sherwin Williams Eminence, but now it’s impossible to get good results in one coat.
I know most paint contractors don’t like Home Depot Behr paint as a professional contractor I have been using it for over 10 years try this for your ceilings BEHR PRO i300 Dead Flat White Paint about $70 for 5 gallons with a 20% discount after Setting up your account
never used Behr for spraying but it is the one paint I refuse to use. Way to fast at drying. Pulls like thick glue when cutting edges with the brush I think it's the worst. Love to here what paint life thinks about using it for spraying. Plus my paint suplier is BM and i would have to pay full price for it.
1 idea,,
I tried using totally tree hugger paint on ceilings,
Like the most environmentally "friendly" paint
It actually worked better than the regular paint that minimally keeps the environmental gguidlines
Not a hippy, but it actually worked good,🤔
The i300 flat is excellent ceiling paint but I will stick with Benjamin Moore superhide zero voc flat,it hides,and rolls better for me.I have them throw some white colorant in it cuts down a bit on the gray.
@@drewcama5481 Customer got some. Yup, pulls itself off as you roll dries so fast.. Don't want to be involved with it again. XIM to the rescue...saved the day. A must have with HD paint.
Is P-filter more important than A-filter in general when using an airless sprayer?
Hi what paint are you using on the ceiling.
I'm in charge of painting the whole house and I've repainted 2 ceilings with ppg timeless eggshell and they look like a race track. I followed the tips on your channel so is it me or is it the paint. I am really sick of painting ceilings :( help
Sherwin Williams has CHB ceiling paint works great they dont advertise it if you ask for it they will have it and for dark color ceilings promar 200 flat
Jay try the promar ceiling paint,not to be confused with promar 200 flat paint for ceilings.The promar ceiling paint is by far the best paint for ceilings,and rolls on much better then chb with a lot less splatter.
Is Kiln 2 a good ceiling primer.
I'm using the airless sprayer how many coats of paint do I got to use to paint the wall one or two
I have watched a lot of your videos. I just helped my son paint the entire interior of the house. I followed your techniques and they worked well. What I found missing from you videos was clean up. We sprayed about 50 gallons of paint and the amount of over spray was significant. Every floor had lots of paint dust. I am sure every wall and ceiling also has it. Of course we did all this before the flooring and cabinets were installed. What is your advice with doing a job like this with respect to cleanup? Is it ok to leave the pray gun (Grayco X5) over night in the paint? We did. Just put the gun in a bucket of watch and plastic over the paint. Finally, we painted about 40 doors inside by standing them up and linking them with boards across the top. We did mark where the door went on the top of the door but the over spray covered it. UGH. Could not do it out side to to weather, bugs, the number of doors, .... Doing it side caused even more over spray. Can you comment?
Carpet - Carpet film
Flooring - Rosin paper
Buy a hand masker to avoid overspray on trim, walls ceilings or windows.
Leave gun & tips in thinner, run thinner through machine after you’re done.
Power wash exterior before painting, bug repellent.
Use that 9’by400’ plastic and hang it down with tape from the edges of the ceilings and you won’t have overspray on walls.
What graco tip would be equivalent to the Titan HEA tip for doing ceilings? I have a graco x5 sprayer I have the standard 515 tip along with the fflp 311 tip, and want to do it once with best results and be done. Any input will help! Love you channel
I would like to see an answer to this question as well as I also have a graco x5 and plan on using it to spray ceilings in 2 rooms....
I wouldn’t use FFLP tips for ceilings unless they are very very clean and already painted about the same color. Use the blue tips 510+ save the fine finish for trim
Graco makes a green LP tip now (not FFLP)... it's very similar to titan's hea tips. Low pressure and very soft edges on spray pattern, but not designed for fine finish like FFLP. You prob have to order online or specifically request that your paint store orders them for you. You can't spray quite as fast as a high production graco tips ( regular black or blue) but the patterm is amazing if you have clean gun and pump filters, strained your paint and have toyed around with getting correct pressure. I like 619 or 517 for ceilings
I used a fflp 514 on a ceiling with the graco 395 (sprayed benjamin moore ceiling paint) and I swear the first coat came out looking wavy.. low ceiling... long run so you can practically look down the drywall ceiling and there's windows at the front of the house and back of house so light runs right down it... having troubles not making flashing... sprayed once... came out wavy looking... flashing lines side to side... front to back of house and I was even test shooting the pattern... thought I nailed it...looked good wet.. looked terrible dry..
So sprayed and bankrolled at the same time... made some texture difference lines... thinking I wasn't putting enough paint on ceiling and the roller would pull some back off where I was overlapping (sprayed 4 feet deep by width of ceiling then back rolled it (10 mil nap), repeat whole length of ceiling..) so that didn't look good. Waited and just cut and rolled the whole ceiling and left for the day... hope it looks good in the morning. If I still see crap I might try the blue 517 tip I used with the surfacer... maybe I'm not saturating the ceiling enough... even with all that light I'm having a hard time seeing the paint I'm spraying on..
How do I fix tailing/fingering on a ceiling? I'm using a 515 on a graco project airless, I had to get it up to highest pressure, I tought that worked out but the outcome was not perfect
It’s either pressure at the gun or a leak in the sprayer
I never sprayed before. I recently bought the graco 390. I'd like to know what tips to use for the ceiling with new drywall and old ?

@@Idahopainter 👍
In the uk we used gliddens for years it was amazing for coverage on white matt paint and the acrylic primer undercoat was far better than Dulux ( premium brand ) at less than half the price ..... it was discontinued a few year ago and replaced by armstead which is rubbish ..... in the uk they seem to give us good products and then bring out a new formula ...... and then the new product is no where as good as the the original ..... application and covarge ....
Hi Chris, would you mind me asking, how does the titan not need a clean shot valve on extension, thanks
It does spit I have a video on controlling spits without a clean shot
@@Idahopainter many thanks for your response👍
What would you paint first if you had crown at the ceiling?
Shoot the crown first! You cant mask a textured ceiling...
Been away for almost a year....too many callouts and the rest on the vids. Much better on this one at least. I guess its all a work in progress.
SW , you're right. Too many re-forms. Really blows up a job. At least get that free product when they screw up. They know what's going on...! Steve the Contractor in NC
Wish he would of showed us a full view of the ceilings with natural light
Did you ever try Sherwin-Williams pro more ceiling paint
Promar cieling is tru dead flat. But needs primer is more for new constrution no for dirty repaints.
One of the best
What is fingering? I've learned so much from you. I'm the widow of a painter. Now I'm painting ..my husband is looking down (I hope down) and laughing his ass off I'm sure. But I'm doing it... solo. Learning alot from my mistakes...alot (lol) but I digress. Fingering?
Thank you💚1¢
P.S. I'll be trying your frog tape and clear caulk today for a big job I accepted...wish me luck🙃
What kind the size tip used for the ceiling?
619
What I meant to say is did you ever try Sherwin-Williams ProMar ceiling paint? I really like this ceiling paint.
Hide drywall or plaster defects but dry slow
I'm working on a huge residential building right now using promar ceiling paint for prime and ceilings. It dries dead flat and it touches up really well. Gone through about 1000 gallons so far...
i like the ppg ultra hide ceiling better than pro mar 200 ceiling just my opinion tho
I use pro mar 400 flat for ceilings and as long as there is a good coat of primer on the ceilings the pro mar works great!!!! And also I've used ultra hide which is a glidden product amd works just as good as pro mar 400 from sherwin williams
Excellent ceiling paint one of my favorites.I now use Benjamin Moore superhide zero voc flat tinted to Sherwin Williams extra white.,it’s cheaper covers great and rolls a bit better in my opinion.
Kilz 2 primer
1 thing on ceiling paint
Have actually found the really environmentally super cool safe stuff"""""""""""""
Worked good,
Better than regular paint with minimal environmental standards,
If you cant beat'em
How about SHERWIN WILLIAMS PROMAR PRODUCTS?
My first time spray paint I had lap marks I was using a 515 tip any advice. My ceiling looked good the walls had the lap marks thanks chuck
Dont purchase the Blue tips anymore, Use the green fine finish tips, less overspray and reduces the chances of a rookie having dwell markings, remember wet on wet and you could also basket weave the spray on a second coat
Hello Chris 👋 do you dilute the paint before start speaking?
No
I had no idea using a sprayer meant less coats!
Can this machine spray water based paing or gross only
Yes
Man I've been painting for like 8 years now and been working towards starting a company...got a sprayer last week (440 titan) i have all the gear I need to do this (everything). Going to be doing new Construction for most part.
Been watching your videos and there great...but.... i have a question.
How do you clean overspray off of drop sheets. Sometime I have to use them instead of plastic and theybsuck afterwards because they just make a mess but i dont want to throw them out that will get expensive...so how do you clean drop sheets????
Hi I clean mine in a big commercial washing machine at the laundromat.All the best with your new business.
I let my dog P on them
I always backroll my ceilings, question is , does it have to be ?
No it does not
I love your videos but the problem I see with you spraying the ceiling first is now you have to tape the ceiling when you spray the wall. And because of the texture of the ceiling it's going to be harder for you to get a good tape connection with the ceiling and the paper or plastic will want to fall down. It seems better to spray your ceilings last and lay plastic or paper on the walls.
OK
Frog tape on a hand masker will work.
@@Idahopainter Crappy reply to your watcher and commenter, you could have agreed or disagreed at least
Have you found lately ceiling has been blushing more then in past
Yes cause of cheap paints
I know when it comes to painting there's a lot of different paint products and but when it comes up to the best ones to use you spend out at that extra cash with a better brand name that's been around for a while with a good track record.
PPG and Glidden must of cut you a check... every painter knows Masterhide is the best. All ceiling paint is gonna rain 😣
This guy looks like Idaho painter?
Wow your spraying direction is the opposite of what I was taught many years ago. It also goes against basics of light and texture. If you shine a light this case the window against an edge this case the edge of your spray it will show the texture more than if you shine a light along the direction or greater length of your texture. Basically to show texture you light against the grain and to hide texture you shine a light along the grain. I was taught you always role a ceiling in the direction the light comes in the window most. You say how you enter a room. I've worked with an other painter who always rolls not sprays a ceiling in both directions on way on each coat. And I have heard and used on a low ceiling the "italian" way of rolling a ceiling in all directions at once so that there are no patterns in role marks. When rolling flat paints on large ceilings I always add a paint extender/thinner so it doesn't dry to quickly leaving texture overlap. do you ever add extender when you are spraying? I am wondering if you can talk about different techniques you have seen or used and why you choose the one you showed?
#PaintLifeMafia
Notice you picked a room without ceiling fan! I hate working around ceiling fans!!
Me too
Dude looks like john cena but older

come on now ... wear safety glasses a face shield when spray painting
Glidden is a no no
Glidden!?!? Junk
PPG paint SUCKS!
