You guys are really have me inspired about starting my painting businessdoing my first interior job first time venturing out on my own been painting for years off and on projects with my dad many years ago my grandfather was a painter in my dad was a contractor I ended up being a service advisor want to spend more time with my family and I love John's rent the other day regarding getting out and doing a fine job helping people feel good about the home they're living in you guys are good people somewhere along the way I heard the owner of this company was a Christian whether he's a Christian or not he's a good man thank you for all you share you've inspired me to be a better Mick Palermo
I'm so depressed that I need to share a little bit with you about my situation. I live in Brazil. I dropped engineering for personal reasons. I always liked painting and I decided to face the project. I met the Idaho Painter channel and immediately became a fan of his work and dedication. I even bought a titan 440 impact in August last year. I have not been able to find a job since. I've tried every day looking for one. Brazil has been a very hostile place for entrepreneurs lately, it has practically become a communist country. Even so, when I feel very depressed, I always watch Chris's videos and somehow regain my willpower not to give up and to move on day after day. You are an inspiration to me Chris and bet that to several other people in conditions similar to mine as well. God bless you, sir!
Eduardo Nogueira Eduardo, I truly have a passion to help. I am thankful my simple videos are bringing you some comfort. If you were here I would hire you. Painting is very satisfying, rewarding, and an awesome career. Keep it up and work hard and have faith and you will succeed. Send me your address so I can mail you a few Paint Life items. God Bless Joshua 1:9.
It's no wonder you're a winner in life Chris, because you're passionate about life and your family. I see this clearly in your lives. As for Paint Life items, I was not expecting that! It is already an honor for me to receive your attention, so what to say about a gift! I promise you i won't give up.

I work with a guy that wants to roll everything,I’ve bought myself a sprayer for a reason and blasted most of the rooms in a day while he went for the weekend,lol.
I am have taken on some painting job, I can see I have alot to learn about painting. The knowledge from this channel is making me a better painter. Keep it up.
great vids, I'm about to paint a whole house after a ton of prep work to include new plastering in several rooms. Love the tips now to put them in action...
I've been painting for the past 15 years, with that said I would recommend wood putty on the interior and keep Bondo on the exterior. Now as for Liquid Masking, I would diffidently use Liquid mask if you were having to do multiple muntin's/sashes or door windows in excess only because it saves taping time. I deal with million dollar homes in Florida soo it calls for many panes to be protected, but liquid Mask come's to the rescue everytime! I've been watching you're videos and getting tips from them but I think you could get tips from me as well.
Spray trim ✔️, spray untextured ceilings ✔️, what about untextured walls (spray or roll? ) or walls that will be receiving texture over existing paint?
Two questions: 1. Double extension on gun for ceilings, how do you control spits? Are you using a Graco Clean Shot prior to tip? 2. Camera? The clarity is awesome, what's your setup? HD? GREAT JOB! Congrats.
The Idaho painter. Idaho is so beautiful. Such a vast array of colors. I always wondered who painted Idaho. Thank you. 😂lol . Your vids are great thank you

Awesome video, you guys obviously know what your talking about. I agree it definitely more cost effective to spray high ceilings then rolling them and you better have huge traps and good shoulder muscle and neck muscles to roll out the whole house ceilings. Spraying trim nice if you have a lot of it. Chris don't feel bad on using Proclassic not sure which one you used but the latex tends to run or sag if you put too much on heavy body and not fast enough dry time to prevent that. I like to use the latex Proclassic enamel, urethane thin too but not much body. I actually prefer using Duration for trim and doors comes out beautifully doesn't have a hard finish but the finish and look is beautiful. Keep the videos coming good to see real professional painting.
I'm curious how many man hours went into masking everything off and how many man hours go into spraying in total. I don't paint professionally but I've been using a roller and brush and I find that I can just jump into painting almost right away with minimum masking. I do own a sprayer and I know I need practice and tips since my biggest gripe is the hilarious amount of overspray with a 515 tip.
This is one of my favorite channel to watch because i always learn something new every time from Chris and his crew. To my fellow Christian brother, sending love and respect to you and your family. God bless always and keep up the awesome job you are doing. God bless always!
Hey Chris! Great video! Prep prep and more prep! This part of the job takes a lot of time! But it is the most important part of the job! Your buddy the gooseneck guy! Cheers!
I like the all purpose adhesive idea. Faster than tape. Great videos. I've been painting for over 20 years I enjoy your tips and videos. Do you only use deglosser on oilbase products? Latex bonds to latex pretty good. Or do you just used it on high gloss surfaces regardless of oil base or latex? Seems faster than priming and sanding. Priming is a proven bonder I'm unsure about the deglosser
No problem bro. I do a lot of painting out here in riverside and I'm sure you already knew what I mentioned it is just hard to keep up with your guys and make sure everyone is on point. But great job.
Always great tips. Hopefully you're done with pro-classic now though! I've been spraying the pro industrial urethane enhanced alkyd from SW for 3 years now and will never go back...just add a latex extender if you need more open time or a more "relaxed" finish. Thanx for working hard to make the industry better @Paint Life TV keep it up!
Kevin Harper people use that method actually probably better with an inexperienced sprayer or blown out tip (heavy finger) but titan makes the new HEA 517 tip it can eliminate heavy overlap and create a nice finish inside a house
Have you tried liquid making for door glazing? We had a few doors to be sprayed, was much quicker and easier to remove the masking film than the paper and tape combination.
@@kennethhedden1846 yes, and it works great. 2 heavy coats with brush or sprayer, one day of drying time in between. After painting cut around the edges with a sharp knife, you'll get straight edges. It's waterbased. I'll send you a link later on.
have you ever sprayed a wall top wall one color and the bottom another color ? I wish to know how did you work that out and the changing of paint etc how long did it take you
awesome video Chris! Can you do a video on degrosser vs. priming effect on different sheen of paint. I wasn't sure if I need to degross satin paint or just semigloss or higher. Thanks a lot for the tips
So the doors you left some of them hung in place... Do you prefer to leave them hung while spraying them? I like spraying the hung in our company but Im just wondering if that's how you guys like to do it and is time saving? I like to collect data and scale these kind of areas thanks Chris.
If I spray ceimings I usually have someone to back roll. Using that deglosser makes me wonder if the trim has oil paint on it. Are you going from oil base paint to water borne paint on the trim?
Allen, it's not necessarily an oil based paint on the trims, I use deglosser on glossy latex paint all the time, especially if the customer has allergies and want to keep dust in the air to a minimum.
What type of lights do you use if natural lighting is poor? I prefer led over halogen just because of durability. I want to get some more but want to get some other painters like. Thanks. Another thing. Have you had circulation issues while painting indoors. Water vapor from breathing has caused streaks in the past. Have you ever had this issues and how to you solve it. I run a basic fan or a dehumidifier if I want to get carried away. Ever use a big air mover to increase dry time? Thanks for your time. I try and answer questions your not able to. Happy holidays.

what is your hourly rate? Or what does it work out to be with all the plastic if you only work by a quote. i saw a video earlier where you charged 350 for 2 accent walls that you said only took 1 hour. A little high don't you think?
Good evening! My name is Rodrigo and I work with painting in the city of São Paulo here in Brazil. I'm very much a fan of the channel and I'm learning a lot about AIRLESS even though I do not know how to translate your English. I am using a translator. I really wanted a PAINT LIFE shirt or a PURDY gift brush.
To avoid a cleaning bill.......cover as much as possible is my opinion . Excellent spray tip John I was struggling to, masking 2 peaces together using a lot of tape . Have a nice Easter
What about the door in the hallway? I take it you are doing just the FRONT? Can you spray it while it's hanging? At the end of the video you can see it behind you, do you just spray it and the hinges just way it IS? I'm curious for when get a situation like that thanks for everything Guys!
Have you ever had adhesion issues by not deglossing? I've just wiped down or hit with a sanding sponge depending on what I'm trying to do. Thanks for the videos.
I'm thinking the de-glosser is probably best suited to surfaces that are uneven, like carved, fancy moldings that would be hard to sand as well with a sanding sponge or block.

Hey Chris, I am looking to purchase a Titan 440. I paint a few vacant units a year (walls, trims and doors) and I would like to make the process easier. Would you recommend I go with this and spray paint or stick to brush and roller?
6:15 is it necessary to follow up kk deglosser with a basic water wipe down? Sometimes I forget to do this; do you think I’ll be okay? :) thank you guys!
Good job buddy,the only tip from me to you would be to not have your guys do the final wipe down on trim until after you spray. I know your using HEA tip,but still there will be dust in the air that will get on your trim.
I never spray ceilings or walls without bankrolling. Maybe with textured ceilings you could get away with it, but otherwise I don’t think it’s possible to get a consistent finish.
When your masking widows do you only use 9”then mask the rest with plastic? I hear you always say it’s a good tool to have. I’ve been masking windows with 3 foot brown paper I feel it’s very time consuming. Thank you
Can I ask how much a job like that cost? Must be pretty expensive, with a team of 4 or 5 and I'm guessing a couple full days of work, and prob over 1K in material and paint.
10k? For that house? The job in itself including prep and man hours. Frick look at all the sundries! 10k wouldn’t be worth it. He’s spraying woodwork doors/trim And you’d have to be pretty dense to share how you do you’re pricing.
It's part the paint you're using and the tips. Like he says in here, a HEA will have less fallout. I haven't attempted this yet but I feel like thinning the product (within spec) will allow you to turn down the pressure a bit. Higher pressure = more overspray as well. But general rule when you're spraying is to cover everything you don't want dust/paint on. Getting air moving is also very helpful so setting up a duct and air ventilation system. It's all part of the learning process. Don't be discouraged.
@@Idahopainter I volunteered to paint my sisters 3000sqft condo. Ceiling, walls, trim and doors and wondering how to estimate prep materials for spraying it
I went for spraying after a long deliberation and I could have done it soo much faster by just rolling it. Masking is a negative activity in my psychology. Masking means trying to keep something off something instead of every action you take creating the thing you are after, which is a positive (accretive) activity. So in my mind even if it took the same amount of time I'd rather roll. Now if you have a ton of detail to paint and the amount of masking is not that much then spraying makes sense. Plus it is better for the environment, less plastic and tape use and less paint use - and less crap in the air. I say I have a sprayer for sale - please give me back my roller.
I think it depends entirely on just how much masking and otherwise covering of things you have to do. I actually like painting with a brush more than a roller, and I like that more than spraying. So if given the time I would likely just brush and roll. If I need to hurry though, I would spray if I can get away with just minimal masking and using a shield. I was so resistant to spraying because I perceived a LOT of masking involved. Once I tried it though, man I could fly through that job. At least 5 times faster for me, WITH the masking.
Zack did say he was using round 2200 psi and I'm assuming he was referring to that setup with the extensions, since he was talking about ceilings when he stated that. Maybe he would dial it down without all that extension.
Love these actual on the job walkthroughs. It so helpful to see how all the individual tips and tricks come together to see the whole picture and process. Thanks and am looking forward to the next one!

Looks like a lot of money and man hours for prep work, but as I have found out the prep is the biggest part of the job.
That is an awsome tip about the spray adhesive with the plastic !! Thanks !!
Thanks for watching Ricky!
The spray adhesive trick is genius!!!!! I never would have thought of that. So much better than taping together.
Yes👍

Works great. I just make sure I get one good coat on. Then I make sure to score and peel as soon as it is dry. This makes it easier .
have you ever sprayed a wall top wall one color and the bottom another color ? I wish to know how did you work that out and the changing of paint etc how long did it take you
When you spray the glue on the plastic, does it melt it?
So you actually get a better finish using a roller? As a simple DIYer just painting rooms would there be any reason to buy a compressor and spray gun?
awesome video Chris! Can you do a video on degrosser vs. priming effect on different sheen of paint. I wasn't sure if I need to degross satin paint or just semigloss or higher. Thanks a lot for the tips
thanks for the tip with the 77 :)
I watch all your videos. Thank you for the pointers you give, these videos are very beneficial.
The spray adhesive dowsnt eat your plastic masking?
So if you get a better finish rolling the why not back roll with an 18
Take a guess smart man?...

Hey Chris, I am looking to purchase a Titan 440. I paint a few vacant units a year (walls, trims and doors) and I would like to make the process easier. Would you recommend I go with this and spray paint or stick to brush and roller?
Airless with a pressure roller! You won’t believe how much faster it is to roll a room when you don’t need to stop and wet the roller..
Good videos I would highly recommend liquid mask by 3M for window panels indoors it's easy to apply and easy to remove..
6:15 is it necessary to follow up kk deglosser with a basic water wipe down? Sometimes I forget to do this; do you think I’ll be okay? :) thank you guys!
Caulk and spray? I found it shrinks back and creates hairline cracks in paint .
Good job buddy,the only tip from me to you would be to not have your guys do the final wipe down on trim until after you spray. I know your using HEA tip,but still there will be dust in the air that will get on your trim.

Wonder how well the liquid mask works haven’t tried it
works great for doors like that and its self priming over bare wood. not good for normal size windows since its faster to just mask and plastic them
Your right you can't brush and roll ceiling and trim faster than spraying. No matter what's said. If your meeting your numbers $, its all good.
Chris do you pop off all the plates or cut around them?
Can I ask how much a job like that cost? Must be pretty expensive, with a team of 4 or 5 and I'm guessing a couple full days of work, and prob over 1K in material and paint.
what would you charge for that? I'm so curious. I know it's not cheap at all. All of us wouldove to know.i would charge around 10k
10k? For that house? The job in itself including prep and man hours. Frick look at all the sundries! 10k wouldn’t be worth it. He’s spraying woodwork doors/trim And you’d have to be pretty dense to share how you do you’re pricing.
Liquid masking is better for the glass panel doors then paper and tape... kinda expensive tho
Sprayed indoors for the first time yesterday with magnum 5x. Horrible experience with the overspray, any tips on preventing overspray?
It's part the paint you're using and the tips. Like he says in here, a HEA will have less fallout. I haven't attempted this yet but I feel like thinning the product (within spec) will allow you to turn down the pressure a bit. Higher pressure = more overspray as well. But general rule when you're spraying is to cover everything you don't want dust/paint on. Getting air moving is also very helpful so setting up a duct and air ventilation system. It's all part of the learning process. Don't be discouraged.
Approximately how much money in all that prep material for a house that size?
Depends
@@Idahopainter I volunteered to paint my sisters 3000sqft condo. Ceiling, walls, trim and doors and wondering how to estimate prep materials for spraying it
Hello, Ian from Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, how long does your prep usually take before spraying?
Ian Marchbank tooooooooo long
It depends on the job size

Chris is there any way you can get journeyman Jackson 🤣🤣to show us how he does his caulking with gloves on that would be fun to watch....
I went for spraying after a long deliberation and I could have done it soo much faster by just rolling it. Masking is a negative activity in my psychology. Masking means trying to keep something off something instead of every action you take creating the thing you are after, which is a positive (accretive) activity. So in my mind even if it took the same amount of time I'd rather roll. Now if you have a ton of detail to paint and the amount of masking is not that much then spraying makes sense. Plus it is better for the environment, less plastic and tape use and less paint use - and less crap in the air. I say I have a sprayer for sale - please give me back my roller.
That's what I think as well. By the time they spent masking all that stuff off we could have painted half of it.
I think it depends entirely on just how much masking and otherwise covering of things you have to do. I actually like painting with a brush more than a roller, and I like that more than spraying. So if given the time I would likely just brush and roll. If I need to hurry though, I would spray if I can get away with just minimal masking and using a shield.
I was so resistant to spraying because I perceived a LOT of masking involved. Once I tried it though, man I could fly through that job. At least 5 times faster for me, WITH the masking.
Such a cool boss,he is so knowledgeable
Do you reuse the masking materials?
No
Can you show how you sprayed the really high ceiling?

Good idea, we'll have to show that!
What is your goto trim paint? We tried pro classic. Never again. Sherwin Williams emerald works really well but can get pricey
We prefer Solo
Pro extreme Cleaning
Depending on the project but for Interiors I like to use Duration, and Solo can be used both for interior and exterior.
Another good video......I like to use " liquid mask " a great product that I've used for years and is a big time saver vs taping your French doors....
I've heard of people using Vaseline and similar things too. I have no idea how well any of that works though.
Can you spray Primer Surfacer with an HVLP Turbine like the Graco or Titan, or do you need an Airless sprayer only for it? Thanks
Yes, you can
Is there any pressure adjustment that needs to be made using that long of an extension?
Zack did say he was using round 2200 psi and I'm assuming he was referring to that setup with the extensions, since he was talking about ceilings when he stated that. Maybe he would dial it down without all that extension.
What kind of bondo do you guys use?
very impressive. I have been working on a bedroom, yes just a bedroom, for days. lol
Where you guys getting your frog tape , it’s pretty expensive. I am in Cali getting frog from Walmart
