- From Old Red to Modern White. Today we're taking on the challenge of giving this house a fresh coat of paint that will really make it stand out in the neighborhood. We picked up a Graco Magnum X7 for this project and give our full impressions of the thing in the video!
Hey Gang! We're seeing a lot of comments regarding the sprayer so we just wanted to clear some things up for those of you watching! In this video you'll see a "tailing" or "fingering" effect, this is caused when the sprayer pressure isn't high enough to spray the specific paint you're using. We had overlooked a key step in the instructions and it just happened to be the one discussing pressure, oops! This video is Day 1 of us using this sprayer, for years we brushed and rolled on our paints so this was a very new process for us! The video isn't meant as a tutorial, and we're super glad a lot of the more experienced painters in the comments have let us know that these traits in the spray patterns aren't the best. 5 months later we're still using this sprayer and we have it tuned down to second nature, we think this is reflected in our most recent painting video so make sure to go check that one out and let us know what you think!
To all you dont paint brick freaks , it is up to the owner, have painted several brick houses and all recieved positive comments. Tje paint will stick fine and probably wont need recoat for 7 to 10 years .
i dont understand the idea of painting bricks, you’re now gonna have to sandblast and repaint the home every few years
I prefer to stain brickwork rather than paint, the stain is absorbed into the brick and changes the colour of the brick as opposed to painting which is adding a layer on top of the brick which over time will peel and require constant maintenance
I would suggest staining brick, not painting it. Paint peels, stain will last decades.
what type of paint was used
Great piece of equipment, have used one for years. A little trick I learned from an old time painter: Buy a box of knee high nylon socks. Place one over the inlet pipe to the airless. Great filter. Throw away after use.
Hi, great job!! What brick primer type and paint color was that?
painting bricks prevents them from breathing, does it not?
Thank you for the video. I recently purchased an X7 sprayer for re staining my house but I haven'y used it yet. I was wondering how difficult cleaning the machine would be. You answered this question for me. Thank you again!
You all still got / using this sprayer? It's $479 at Lowes now.
great to be shown the whole process , thank you.
Hey guys I’ve been laying bricks for over 40 years and I’m so glad you painted those bricks because that brick work is a shocker it’s all over the shop.Thanks for sharing love your channel and your content and editing is always awesome
Awesome man, your dads a hard worker! Follow that path, with his passion!
I think it looks great! I'm watching videos like yours because I'm about to paint my red brick house white.
Great and clear video. Easy to follow. Thanks for getting straight to showing us without a lot of fluff talk like some videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Wow y'all have inspired me to paint my home. Love your enthusiasm and your personalities. I live in the south too and if you lived in my area, I would hire you to paint my house. But I'm such a do it yourselfer I have to try this for myself. nice job.
Good positive energy bro, best wishes to the company.
Really enjoyed this video. It’s really nice to have a close up view of everything.
No worries on the learning curve for the sprayer! After 50-100gal you will master it! Also one tip (I see in the comments you use filters) I always poured into a fresh bucket. A lot of the 5Gal buckets from local stores can get goopy at the bottom after sitting and you spend too much time fighting boogers. Depending on the size of the job, I open all buckets and pour ~25% from 2-3 buckets through a piece of aluminum windows screen I had on a "frame". Close up all buckets and pump from the "clean" bucket.
