I've never used a spray gun to paint. I can't believe how fast and efficient they are. Incredible.
I bought a newer home and the previous owner didn't treat or paint the fence and it's looking horrible already. So doing my research I found your channel. I just wanted to let you know this particular video (watched a few others already) was exactly what I needed. Asking the guys questions the way you did was superb touch too as I learned so much. So thank you so much and really appreciate the information. I am less intimated because of your videos. :)
I install fences as a fence contractor I'm asked about staining wood fences. Your information is invaluable. Also your scripture reference is even more important.
Thanks for watching Daniel!
Thank you so much for all this good information! This is the second time I have used your videos for learning how to do work in a professional manner. I am grateful for all the knowledge you share! I look forward to seeing and learning more! You are god sent!
Glad to hear they help, thanks for watching & supporting!
Really Nice Video guys! Fast Paced! Glad you added in the hard area with the tight fit.
Cool to see virtually no overspray and....... back brushing to work it in. You guys just pumped the project out!
Mad Dog Primer
Thank you Mad Dog!
Thought you were John Cena for a sec lol
I know he does look like John Cena. I had the same thought 😂
He's a painter now
@@timbohouston Ha! That's pretty funny!
High key he does look like him LMAO!! Good One!!
But he is... just retired
Just wanted to jump in and thank you very much for your videos. I have been a subscriber for a long time now and you are my go-to guy anytime I am tackling a paint project. I spent 2 days (with 2 helpers) using my old HVLP sprayer and hardly made a dent in my huge fence staining job (over 4200 sq ft). After the 2nd day I watched another of your videos again using an airless. I ordered it that night and the accessories from your Amazon page (20 inch extension and cardboard shield holder). I got it last yesterday and man-o-man it is wonderful. Turns hours into minutes...if I compared my airless sprayer to my HVLP it is like fiber network high speed internet compared to dial up (a brush method would be like a rotary phone in this comparison lol). Anyway - just had to thank you for making these videos so professional and easy to watch. Love the bloopers too :-) You really have made a huge difference to me and many others I am sure. Cheers mate.
Thanks for your support
very nice video, love it when john is in the mix, I enjoy listening to him and watching him spray!!! thanks guys great video
John is awesome, love having him on! Thanks for watching!
Came inside for some lunch after painting one side fence and one to go. Thought I’d look at a pro doing it. Makes my tools and skills look prehistoric.
Thanks for watching man!
Update. Finished the other side fence. That back brushing was an awesome tip. Not only did it help fill the voids in the rough sawn timber palings, it also evened out the paint, allowing for more coverage. It also helped me finish the job within the 10 litre tin, didn’t have to get more :)
@@chrisfi3d you must back brush when using a sprayer. I hand painted about 14 x 6ft panels with extra foot of trellis with a brush well they are custom made 8 foot wide panels. Took bloody ages but looks pretty good and even. Tried a pump sprayers, total garbage, so just got a wagner sprayer to see if thats better and quicker.
sp royals - hand painting that amount you did takes some dedication and patience. In my case, I used a cheapish Ozito spray gun and did about 120 metres wide by 2 metres high. When I stoped for that lunch break, I was about to start on the front fences. Man did that back brushing (using a fence brush) make all the difference after watching this video. The spray guns are great but got to watch and protect your overspray areas. Drop sheets on ground etc. The Wagner guns should be great. Really clean them out and get your viscosities on point and makes a tedious job much less work.
The Go Pro on the extension was a awesome idea. Really shows how he's spraying from his P.O.V.
Glad you liked it, we'll do more like it!
Hi Chris,,, just want to know that do we need to cover the fence from the back side so that paint won’t go to neighbors house. Please reply me thanks
Do you have a list of tip sizes that you should use per job.
Example...
painting fence/tip size and pressure.
Staining fence/tip size and pressure.
And so on....
Awesome video brother i love your guys videos you been stuck in anymore pools 😂
Thanks for the video, I do use the brush all the time I paint a fence, and lots of painters think that Im stupid for waisting my time using it.
What if you have gaps between the boards of your fence ? How do you prevent over spray from going in between?
Angle spray
the fence looks so good! Great tips! I've never done this before, excited to give it a go after this video! Thanks!!
Glad it was helpful!
I'd love to see one with you guys washing and spraying a fence with alternating boards. I hate those things, almost as much as I hate painting louvered doors with a brush. Love your videos, though.
Good idea!
You do live in a paradise
It's nice to see true tradesmen.3 PROFESONALS !!!!!!
Painting isn't a trade😂🤣
Great video. Love the camera shots on the pole while painting.
Thanks for watching!
Does it paint go through fences gap ? Does neighbors complain any to their property?
You guys make it look so easy lol
Love the video. Love the bible verse you got up as well. God bless🙏😊
Great spraying skills! Is it a good idea to use primer before doing this?
The few videos I’ve watched of your channel I’ve noticed that you put some scripture of the Bible... I like that..
Great job! Great tips! But could you show a semi private wood fence being done please? Thanks
Great show and tell.
Thanks
I just saw spraying. Was there staining in the video?
I had a customer upset that the 1/8 - 3/16th gap between the slats didn't get painted ( on a pre-built fence - which is important in my opinion).. I did not notice you doing anything special for that, or maybe it was something you did off camera? Is that something you do or not? Have you ever encountered this issue with a customer?
Good job
Used recently, woodscapes Navaho white on fence needed two Coates plus spot touch ups in some areas where grain was really rough.
Did you use paint or stain ? And what brand sprayer did you use...i want to paint my fence white but elderly and a roller would be too much work for me this time
Should bottom of fence be off the ground.? The panel ends on the ground rot with the rain and water.
doesnt the spray leech to the other side of the fence through the cracks between boards
Are you worried about the spray going between the vertical boards and leaving overspray on your neighbors side? I’m not asking to be critical, I’m just curious because I’d like to do this to my side of the fence, but don’t want to leave over spray on my neighbors side.
Another great video as always!! Thanks for all your help!
You are welcome!
Great job my friend...
Would you or anybody who knows. what color paint are you using? it's gorgeous
So I have a homeowner of that money is going to paint their fence but they already have a can of masonry stucco brick paint they want me to start with because they use some of that on part of their no I don't want to tell them they can't use it I'd like to accommodate them we already have to buy a couple gallons to finish the amount of fence they want done and another gallon of stuff probably wouldn't be that expensive what do you what do you recommend if I need to go forward with the masonry and stucco paint can I set it down so it goes further and also lets the would Breathe it would also penetrate I hope not create a thick layer that could possibly peel off likely use a paint brush or roller but I do have a Pneumatic sprayer as well what do you recommend
Mr Miyagi would be so proud!
What is in the bucket that is being used for back brushing?
When spraying the side of the fence that has the horizontal support boards, I often get too much stain directly under or above the 2x4s even after I back brush. How do I prevent stain from building up in that area?
What are your tips when spraying a fence with metal posts and gates with metal tension rods? Also, do you have any tips when a wooden fence with metal posts are on top on a concrete retaining wall?
What paint did you guys used to paint this fence or which one would you recommend for fence 🙏
I would like to stain our fence white. What kind of paint is best? Could you describe how to prepare the surface?
Greetings from the U.K. 🇬🇧 Can you call round and sort my fence out guys 😂😀😂
Cool, ya guys are great. Any openings for a exp. Painter needing a change of scenery out of Buffalo??
Fill out a job application on our website at www.idahopainter.com
Very helpful! Awesome job!
What’s the best paint though to seal these fences?
What stain is this? Beautiful color.
Great vid, What sprayer did you use in this video?
just out of curiosity do you get called to strip any fences or decks or just applying the product
Really nice what color is that
Question for the pros …can you stain a fresh pressure treated fence ?
I assume this is stain as you didn't prime the wood first. Or does painting wood not need a primer layer?
Correct
Do you must use spray or can I paint with roller?
Does this process differ if you are putting paint on the fence instead of stain?
what about a fence that has gaps between the pickets? Won't the spray go through them onto the stuff on the back side of the fence? maybe it is a question of how far the spray is going at the lower pressure?!?! Just restained my fence this spring. Used a very think napped roller....and kid power for the lower parts :)
Spray at an angle
what paint was this?
What machine do u use?
When u paint with a thick paint, what do u use?
I really like your videos. ....
Thanks for watching!
Great video.
Approximately how many square feet of fence per gallon of paint??
Half gallon per panel rough cedar
my Question is PO Isand Before paint ? and how
Great job! I like your bible text Isaiah 40:30-31
How much do you charge for a fence to stain for labor and material or stain ? And how do you estimate how much stain you need? Thanks
If I am treating this an one woman job I suppose I would do a section at time to get the brushing in before the paint dries or could I do a whole section? vertical post to vertical post?
You have to back brush while soaking wet
Why do you guys back brush instead of using a roller ?
I was just wondering if you are using paint or paint? it looked like paint in the bucket thank you for your time and videos much love from Cali.
Solid color stain
Stain
Yeah, but he was more curious as to whether you were using *paint* or paint. Last thing you want is to spend the whole day painting only to find out that you had been applying paint.
Is it practical stain or paint an older fence that has never been stained before?
Very helpful....thanks gents.
You are welcome!

Home Improvement How To's

Chad Rockman
Piss off, no one was bitching you whinging quim.
Not to mention the beard which voids the mask🤦♂️
Thank you for the video! I just had my fence installed 2 weeks ago. What is the recommended time to paint it? Should i wait a month or two? Also what paint is that you are using, i have similar fence paint color but cannot recall.
Did you ever find out the color ??
What whip hose do you guys use? ID 3/16" or 1/4"? The length I reckon is 6 ft, isn't it? Thank you.
What are your steps on how to restain a wood fence? Need help
We are making changes and eventually will not be answering any questions on UA-cam, but we are directing people to the private paint life members group where other painters in the community can answer questions. It will be a closed group on Facebook. Feel free to check it out! facebook.com/groups/2305219262837596/
You don’t need primer?
Great video! Thought I was playing Doom at 8:50.
Nice work 👍🏻 I have a question will this titan 515 spray tip fit in the Graco magnum 7 airless paint sprayer spray gun?
With the right guard yes
What is the name of that red stain and where can I buy it?
H&C Stain, Sherwin Williams
@@Idahopainter How much for a gallon?
What size tip?
What brand and color did you use?
I made it with woodprix !
John cena is paint life?
Thanks
Thanks Chris, you are the man! I've been painting for many years, but I've adapted to using some of your methods to improve my efficiency. PS make sure you and John wear sunscreen next time lol
Thanks for watching & supporting!
Hey do you guys prefer using oil based or acrylic material for fences? Which is just a better longer lasting finish?
Acrylic
Here we were in Idaho.
great video my amigo
Thank you!
it isn't clear if you're simply linking to the individual manufacturers, if you are charging more/less than paint stores, or if it is actually a "store" in the sense that you have a physical inventory of everything that you got at a discount.
Only reason I mention it is that if I was clearer about the specifics (let's say it's 10% more than home depot), I would rather buy my stuff from you than them. But I'm not sure I want to investigate first. Maybe a sentence or two clarifying that would be cool on some videos.
It is my Amazon store, so you are buying through Amazon, but we get a percent
nice. Amazon does so much shot here in seattle that its being a web-site first is almost irrelevant to its services.
And thanks for the videos. The night before my first day I watched you mask windows for a sprayer, did it once at home (experienced with paper but not plastic) and day one when the boss came around the corner I was masking like a son of a bitch and could ask for several dollars above his starting wage because of it. Good shit.
Can the titan HEA spray tip can be used on a Graco Sprayer Magnum ProX7
yes just have to have the titan top guard on your gun.
tip guard
Yes, you have to use it with a Titan spray guard though
Did you clean the fence before you painted?
Yep
@@Idahopainter thank u
Your fence is new that’s why you painting easy what about the older fence
use a lambswool roller
no over spray
less cleaning
Good tip, thanks for watching!
How do you feed your family?
Hello, we live in Bulverde, TX, 78163. Could you recommend a fence stainer in our area or location where I could find one. It is a new fence, installed April 2019 and has discoloration do the sprinkler system. Never painted or stained before, so it is totally new to me. We are new to the area so everybody is coming around selling something at relatively high, really high prices.
How still are you in the intro hahahaha
OK
Is there a sprayer system less expensive that would give a great performance a well?
any low end graco or titan would do fine. titan 440i or graco 395 are contractor grade if your gonna use the sprayer a lot. if not you can buy cheap junk graco at homedepot that would do the job just not last long...or just rent one from Sherwin Williams
Titan 440 or Graco 395
Where does John get those half tool belts he wears while spraying?
Our local hardware store
How much should u charge to Psint fence? Ball park figure
We charge $34 a panel
How did you avoid the gun spitting using the 30 inch extension? I didn't see Graco clean shot on the end of it. Thanks for your time
Doom Slayer I was thinking the low pressure tip might help with the spitting. Titan makes a spit valve as well as head I but cracks is his able at the end of the extension
your not gonna see spits on the fence plush they are back brushing it. they usually control the spits by knowing where to stop and start. the spits or so small you would never see them on a cedar fence.
Graco Clean Shot
Thanks Chris, have you ever used Titans version? Any thoughts or opinion?
I want to know if one could stain a 17 year old fence and what do recommend?
Yes, you can
So why do painters use white pants? I have always wondered that..
Painters tradition
Is that spray tip good for painting Interior wall
We haven't used it on interior walls, but I imagine it would be okay
Great tips thank you. That stain color is so ugly. It ruined the beauty of the wood
