Thanking the Lord above for another beautiful/Blessed day in the greatest Nation on Earth, and remembering all the great Americans who worked their butts off or sacrificed their lives to make/keep our country free! Grilling Rib Eyes/baked taters/veggies on the Traeger, and enjoying a 'few' domestic lite brews with my beautiful wife of 42 years! Thank you Chris, for all the great videos that have helped me do my first airless project,(interior cinder block wall/plaster ceiling basement/stairwell; 3,500+ sq ft). May the good Lord Bless you and yours with happiness and good health on this 244th American Birthday!!
Gonna be organizing my backyard and shed. . which is technically my company storage and office! Gotta move a Little Giant Skyscraper 21' as well... that sucker is HEAVY!
Believe it or not I'm painting my house! I have watched so many of your videos and it helped me a lot! Thanks. Oh and by the way I am driving through Boise tomorrow on my way to Donnelly!
What is your take on using aluminum foil instead of paper and tape in/on some 'special' areas? Examples: the tab on the power meter or doorknobs. I've used foil on plumbing pipe stub outs, knobs & small items that need cover & are in tight areas. The foil quickly covers an object tightly to allow full (as possible) paint coverage around/behind the object. Inexpensive foil product is available. I am not a painter per se, but have been remodeling residential forty plus years. I use the foil to cover when texturing & times when I do have to paint also. mlee
Hey just wanted to say your a really good teacher, and I really appreciate that you don't spare expense in showing us different ways of doing each task when you could just show one way. Thank you for all your time and hard work. God bless you and your family brother!
You and David Odell concrete are the best, most entertaining, thorough, and informative trades guys out there on yt, there are also a lot of good automotive repair channels
I've been following your channel for over 8 yrs and thanks you really are the best and you're helping to create great painters around the world and might not know it.
I’ve learned more from you than any college class I’ve taken! Thanks you so much! If it wasn’t for your videos I wouldn’t be where I’m at now, I’ve kept a steady two months out for the past few years and employed a couple couple people due to regurgitating your advice, thanks!
I Love your videos, I feel like I'm at Paint Life School. Learning so much taking notes painting my house on my own and you are taking out the stress factor for me. Thank You!! Catskills, NY
Excellent teaching vid. Am doing my entire house, 2000' myself and didn't think of a lot of things you brought to light. Thank you!!! After the exterior is finished….on to the inside. Fun, Fun!!!
There will always be people who are more than happy to critique others,but don't do their own videos. Why? It's easy to point out other people's flaws,but they can't handle being on the recieving end. Your videos teach alot. They help alot of people who are intimidated by stuff like this & need encouragement. I say good work.
I love your videos! You are genius in masking, painting, talking, explaining - painting guru! So many details and tips! It shows that you love what you do! I feel inspired so will do scraping and caulking today. Already god some of your tools and love them. Your great sense of humor and positive attitude helps! Please keep making more videos! From Russia 🇷🇺with Love!
im going to paint my interior and exterior of my home this summer. i am going to learn everything from you. I bought a Graco X17 from Home Depot. I will buy everything else from you as I get going to try to say thank you for the education. I really appreciate you sir
Your're the best! Just hired painters and they are the opposite of you - overspray everywhere! destroyed screens everywhere. They need to watch your videos.
Thanks for another excellent video. I am gonna make tomorrow. After I get him from work today I am gonna power wash our house and then mask tomorrow and start painting Saturday. Hopefully we can finish the house this weekend. I am excited but scared too. I wouldn’t have had the confidence without your help.
Sometimes I hear "tape is expensive and we want to save money" but then i see him overtape almost everything lol Just a little funny to me but I am learning a ton by watching this guy. Thank you.
I used to hold the masking tape in my mouth to until I noticed my bite marks leave little dips and valleys along the edge of the tape, so it would'nt be as a clear straight line anymore. Then I held it just with lips, but no pressure with teeth, but feel self conscious about ppl looking and wondering "is that painter chewing on tape?" I thinks a brilliant idea for those with small wrists or little hands to hold it on the wrist like a bracelet. I bought the super gaff from your store, which looks really cool and works just as good. I was surprised you didn't use it on a masking video, as I seen you wear the super gaff in other videos. I appreciate your videos, and my dad and I refer to your videos for training. Newman, California.
What a professional you are. So efficient! Wish you were my neighbor. Thank you. Last time I painted my stucco house here in Ocoee, Fl. I duct taped a tile trowel to the center of a 2 ft. by 4 ft. 1/4 inch (very thin) piece of plywood as a spray shield for my windows. It was light, well balanced and easy to move into place. worked super good, However, I did not use a gun extension like you do, so I imagine it wouldn't work as good for you. cheers!
Out of all the trades I’ve done in my 27 years of age, painting was by far the one that was the most pain In the ass for me, to many little details u gotta do, easy and cheaper trade to get into but definitely not for me anymore, I run a concrete business now, more physical work but a lot less headaches
Norway :) I am new at your channel. Was looking out for some new stuffff on the internet and your channel poped out. Really like your style! I am painter too, running my on my one guy business. Focusing only outside jobs. Tritech, high pressure washer. Nice to see the way your doing the things done. I am already exicted to test some of your tips at my projects. Its funny because I came to similarly same solutions as you, but with `homemade` methods. They dont have such accessories here in the shops in Norway. Would love to show you my work and exchange experiences. Thumbs up!
How do you get a smooth looking finish on the exterior of your home when you can't sand off all the paint. Would love to see a video that shows techniques and products that are use for these types of repairs.
Hello I been watching. Your videos learning the trade Hopely to start my own business.in the near future. My question is on a 2-story house built in 1915 which is my own house. How many feet should i buy an extension latter? My goal is to paint my own home it looks like a barn home out in Green Bay Wisconsin.
I did my first house exterior (for pay). It’s previously painted brick. I had a hard time keeping the overspray off the vinyl soffits, particularly the J-channel next to the brick. I used a 36” aluminum shield, though. Extra work for me to touch that up. Suggestions other than masking?
He holds the tape in his mouth. Endearing. lol. I did a SMASH UP job on my daughters room, thanks to what he and Josh have taught me. I'm buying that masker to make shorter work of the masking next time. THanks yall!
I just bought the Wagner Flexio 3000. First project will be painting old cabinets. How much overspray can I expect? Do I need to completely seal off the kitchen from the rest of the house. I heard that the paint will float through the air and speckle into the living room and any nearby furniture. Thanks.
Hey man I’ve got some real questions. I’ve got my first paint job and it’s part brick home. Can I just paint over the old latex paint or do I need to get all the old paint off
@@Idahopainter So there are different blades for the plastic. The reason I ask is I have the 3m 3000 masker and either because I am a DIYer I don't know how to use it on plastic or I need a different blade. I am definitely not tearing the plastic wrap as easy as you do! Thanks for the reply
I'm starting to spray exteriors, what is the best way to prep off soffits/gutters when you are only painting the body? I have a home where I need to spray the soffits and gutters white (they are aluminum), and the body is a vinyl siding that will be sprayed a different color. What would the most efficient way to prep these be? I've been a brush & roll painter only for the last 10 years. So I am somewhat new to the spray prepping area. I can prep it out, but I'd like to learn the most efficient way. Thanks for any tips!
I have a grace 495 spray machine and use the green 312 fine finish tips for trim and like how to covers and never clogs. When I use a 310 tip my gun keeps getting clog or the gun isn’t able to spray the paint. I use a 60 filter on the gun and manifold. Do you know what the problem would be? If I use the 60-80 filter on the manifold and 100 filter on the gun will that make the paint go threw while using the 310 tips or even a 208 tip.
The optics of this are amazing. Logistically though...idk. Maybe with a big crew. Otherwise id be working that sheild till the cows came home. Lol Good stuff, Chris.
Happy 4th of July. So what is everyone doing on this day?
Thanking the Lord above for another beautiful/Blessed day in the greatest Nation on Earth, and remembering all the great Americans who worked their butts off or sacrificed their lives to make/keep our country free!

Your're the best! Just hired painters and they are the opposite of you - overspray everywhere! destroyed screens everywhere. They need to watch your videos.
Which is why I don't use a sprayer especially on the outside. I have been painting 20 yrs and you don't get the same results with a sprayer.
You should do a video on paints.
Great Work. This information is years of hard work and trial and error. This is truly were you shine.
Hallo from NZ well explained thanks for making our job easy 💯❤️

Time is money but so is quality, prep is very important. Either find someone to help you out and mask ahead or take the cut and do it yourself. (imo)
I'm watching your video learning more tricks to the trade
What do you think about the liquid window mask layer?
Good job!
Greetings from Poland :)

Do you have different cutting blades on the two masker's? ie is one for paper and the other for plastic? Thanks for the videos
No I just use the film blade on all maskers.
@@Idahopainter So there are different blades for the plastic. The reason I ask is I have the 3m 3000 masker and either because I am a DIYer I don't know how to use it on plastic or I need a different blade. I am definitely not tearing the plastic wrap as easy as you do! Thanks for the reply
How do charge for painting on exterior painting and interior. Do you have specific method?
Do you think i should stick to interior painting?

Any tips on removing acrylic paint overspray off metal fence post
I dont understand how you keep spray lines off some of your trim with some techniques
Awesome advices!! 👏👏👏👍👍👍
How are you guys masking soffit???
Great tips 👍
Just a tip I hold my tape on my wrist like a bracelet, maybe you could possibly do that also to help you out
What is the widths does the plastic come in?
What type of caulking would we best to use for exterior between wood and concrete for example garage trim at the bottom and concrete
I have a grace 495 spray machine and use the green 312 fine finish tips for trim and like how to covers and never clogs. When I use a 310 tip my gun keeps getting clog or the gun isn’t able to spray the paint. I use a 60 filter on the gun and manifold. Do you know what the problem would be?
