- How to stain a deck with a paint sprayer, grey stain transformation. Using a Graco GXFF Airless paint sprayer and back brushing. Using a 108fflp and 314fflp tip. Cleanshot valve and extension. Purdy pole and brush holder.
If you're wondering whats going on at the cut scene 4:38... well someone brought me out a coffee and whispered SIMON into the mic while i was filming. I didn't even see them bring the drink. When I was editing the film late in the evening it freaked me out. Imagine having your headphones on and hearing a voice say your name haha. Thought I'd keep it in as it made me laugh when I found out it wasn't a ghost. But that evening I definitely had a mini heart attack.
The decking and handrail system were sprayed and then back brushed. I back brushed because the paint wasn't getting pushed into the grain. If I just sprayed the first coat it would have dried patchy and not bonded as well.
The main focus here is transforming the decking from old and weathered to a nice new grey stain, which will bring it back to life.
The handrail system is being replaced once the lock down is over. But in the mean time we painted it in to make it look more appealing and in keeping with the rest of the decking. Our paint delivery was delayed, so we have to wait for the rest of the decking stain and fence paint to arrive. We manage to get a coat on before the rain came so this helped make it more weather resistant.
The decking was first cleaned with ronseal decking cleaner then it was pressure washed using the patio cleaner. I did a video showing the patio cleaner in action, check out the suggested video or have a look in my other videos.

Haha loved the ending. Something always happens when you're near the end.
thanks for watching
Loved the video. Found it really enjoyable and easy to watch, you explain things really well. Would love to see what it looks like when its finished. Just subscribed looking forward to more content
thanks alot glad you enjoyed the video.
we're having a colour change now so the next coats are going darker. I will post a new video soon once its all finished
Good vid Simon. Don’t really use the clean shot valve myself but it’s a handy item. Stay safe mate.
Thanks. Ye it wasnt for stopping spits on this job mainly for the swivel joint. Saving me bending with my old age haha keep save bud
brill vid keep safe fella
thanks for watching. You too bud
wholly..where's the airborne paint going 😮
Great video, haha did you manage to finish the job.. so close at the end! "get in there"made me laugh!
ha thanks. Yes managed to get the last bit done with the brush head in my hand
Holy shit you back brushed lol . That sir is the proper way to stain a deck . I tell people you have to brush a deck you can spray it to speed up application but you must back brush it still.
Haha thanks for watching. Yes brush that first coat in as it can be abit rough so spray doesnt push into all the little areas. I spray the second coat straight on
@@sprayaholic I'm goin on 20 years of doing it I was goin over some videos to see what tip size people were using for the super deck . Idk though I still i guess out of habit want to back brush the 2nd coat.
@@jdav1984 if its no longer drinking the paint i usually go for a spray coat.
Keep on doing a proper job 🙌
Tip depends on the thickness of the paint for me as every days different in the uk especially with the temperature ha
@@sprayaholic ya its rare I spray my stain unless it's a big deck or I'm spraying siding. I have a 210 fflp for cabinets I was going to use but after seeing your results with the 108 fflp I'm considering spraying this deck or atleast the pickets.
@@jdav1984 well the 108 was for the spindles. The actual deck i think i used something like a 314 or even a 310 or 410.would be great. Try to get 2 planks in one pass to speed up coverage
Hi, great video, I want to do my decking which has now faded from brown to grey. Thing is I am terrified whatever I use will peel off and when I re-apply it the next year it will be patchy. Is there any product which WILL NOT peel? Thanks
hey, a clean and pressure wash first. If the underside of the decking starts to soak up moisture then eventually it will be pushed out the top side which is why the paint then peels . tikkurila do a decking product, its not cheap but probably last longer than most. usually alot of brands just last a year if its not under heavy foot traffic. so long as the deckings properly dried out its the best chance you can have
Upvoting for unexpected SLJ.
🤣✌
what would you say roughly was the coverage with this technique, tips, etc per gallon
That first coat just drank in the stain. I think it took 7L for 2 coats. Id estimated a similar amount for brushing only. So really the sprayer was just used as a speed of application
What sort of time did that deck roughly take you with the sprayer plz? Iv been asked to do quite a large pub and I’m tempted to purchase the sprayer to save on time
The cleaning probably took the longest. But actual spraying time maybe 20mins per coat if that. Best to back brush that first coat then just spray the next i found
Brilliant thanks for the reply I’m new to all this and new to your channel.. iv just bought a earbouer airless sprayer today to do some decking.. iv not managed to get it running right yet but it only came with 1 nozzle and im wondering if I need a different nozzle for the thickness of the paint
Hi could you please tell me which paint you used it? Many thanks
hi this was actually Wickes own brand deck stain in slate
👍
Thanks for watching
Safety off 😂😂😂
gets me every time haha
What kind of paint is that? Is it behr deck over paint?
i think it was ronseal deck stain
What psi were you using? Nevermind I seen it at the end. Good job.👍
Thanks for watching. Ended up having a colour change to black in this video

Did you clean the deck 1st?
Hi. Yes i used a pressure washer to clean down the deck and fence. I then got asked to change the colour a few days later to black. Check out the re stain video here

can you use decking oil in an airless sprayer?
Yes you could if you wanted to.Use the recommended clean up with it.
@@sprayaholic thanks! tha would be thinners i imagine? also, your hose is very flexible. i'm unsure of the correct name, but i think it's called a ''whip''. 1m or so piece of flex pipe that attaches between the gun and the line. any recommendations on buying one in the UK? i have a wagner 117. i'm new to this machine and it'll be my first outing using it. cheers
Hi
What type of grey color is this what’s the name ??
think it was slate grey
Safety off haha
Haha
What product are you using there? They grey is a great colour.
Its wicks own brand. Its a lovely colour when its solid. But like more of the cheap ones is super thin and is at least a 3 coat coverage with brush. Our order has just come and were going over with a darker colour now. Carbon in the ronseal range. Ha everywhere is sold out of stain so we've this is what they've gone for now.. Anti slip too.
I'll pop another video up once i re coat. As it will ve darker and the next coats fly on. This first coat takes more time
Its £19 for 2.5l the wickes carbon slate.
So pretty cheap really. Screwfix sell their own brand and its £9.99 weve used it before and its lasted over 3 years.
All waterbased products. So long as cleaned properly and brushed in it should last
@@sprayaholic brilliant thanks
Hey. Not sure if you would know this or if you’re using the same paint product in the darker colour... I actually wanted to use the ronseal decking rescue paint, do you think I could spray that on to the decking? Or will the paint be too thick? Thanks!
Why the brush?
It was pretty rough and old wood so the brush pushed it into the grain more than the sprayer could
respiratory protection ?
Why not just take a 3/8 roller roll the deck ?
Didnt want the stipple from the roller on the finish. But sprayed the spindles and fence aswel so was quicker in the long run
No priming?
It didnt require a primer. The product specification was 2 coats
Wow ....can you do my decking
if youre uk and in my area then sure
@@sprayaholic Where do you operate (which parts of the UK)?
@@tlangdon12 mainly areas around Cornwall
Seams to defeat the purpose of spraying?
its a speed of application alot fast that trying to brush it all normally
Wear a respirator
Been better to brush it on, Wood grain needs agood brush...
I back brushed it, didnt you see?
Need a mask 😷
