I learned so much from you. I had 23 kitchen cabinet doors and 11 drawer fronts I’m 76 years old and have been helping my husband with jobs around the house for 58 years. He passed away two years ago on Thanksgiving night. We had to let a lot of our repairs around the house go. After a year I knew I was going to have to sell my house. After taking all the doors off (maple ) I cleaned thoroughly and sanded lightly. I did this in my garage. Bought the large size Wagner paint tent. Went to Walmart and bought some inexpensive clothing racks. Then depending on if they were upper or lower doors I use a small bit and drilled two holes in each then I screwed small cup hooks in and hung them on wooden hangers. It was hard work I won’t lie, but they are so beautiful. My daughter helped me paint the actual cabinets. Cudos to you. After I had already got half way I see where you sell these drying racks. I used Valspar kitchen and trip paint. Self leveling.
I just have to do 2 coats on any color change. That way you can always catch any misses or lap marks. But you got your way. Not hating. I like watching your channel, always down to see how other people paint.
Thanks for the videos. I'm a long time painter myself and I'm still able to learn a lot from watching you. Have you ever tried tying back bushes and shrubs with those yard stakes for dogs? Wrap a tarp around them then take the wire or rope and pull them away from the house and stake it down, it will easily buy you another foot or two of room to paint.
that works pretty well. In a lot of cases I just take the drop cloths, wrap them around shrubs and tie the two ends in a knot fairly tight. Generally it pulls them back far enough for painting.
Great video Chris your UA-cam production is in a class of its own. Your love of the trade really shows through the work you've done throughout your career. Ignore the haters their just jealous. Cheers
Knew this video was coming. The keyboard professionals came out hard on your last short... funny how people make an opinion based on 30 seconds of video ... nice job dude 👍🏻
Yeah, as a pro myself, I laugh when the fab and welder guys at my shop try to paint yet they talk crap about how "your just the painter' or "you have an easy job". It might be easy physically, to pull the trigger, but you can't just pull the trigger.
Thanks for the tips. When you clear the spits on the wall surface does it leave a shiner or is it thin enough to not matter? Also could you brush or roll it out and reapply? Thanks
I was going to comment on that as well. I think if you're an experienced sprayer you can put it on thin enough so its not an issue. But personally I'd recommend clearing it out on a tarp or some of your masking. Be sure to still swipe as you clear it though, the pressure is high enough on that thin stream if its concentrated to break through window plastic and get paint on the window.
Hey Chris. Great video as usual! Do you only do one coat when spraying? If you do two coats, do you have to mask everything up twice to avoid bridging from the first coat?
Love the videos, great tutorials as I have just invested in 2 airless machines to start a paint business, you mention the 50% overlap so is it correct to say that you only do 1 coat, thank you, looking forward to your response, our town is also very windy, best tip for such conditions 🙈🤣🤣
Stop hating take the information needed to evolve and adapt to your painting he's not saying you have to paint this way it's just his professional opinion and way.
If you are changing colors or the siding is really crusty and weathered then yes, use a thickie nap cover. If you have t1-11 in decent shape and are staying with a color or very close to old color then you can likely get away w no backroll. What's great about backrolling is that you just have to get the paint on the wall, doesn't have to be sprayed perfect. So you can shoot it close to avoid overspray and fix the coat by backrolling
How would you, being a pro, correct the overlap spots that got a little heavy? I usually take a rag with acetone and wipe out the spot a few inches outside and blend it enough to do a light spray to cover it, but I haven't sprayed on soffit or siding before.
Just a thought. I wouldn't spray higher way above my head just to make sure I spray enough paint on the angles. You surely transfer 90% ( 10% it is over spray) of paint of flat surface considering how windy it is but on the edges if you dont bend your wrist the right angle than you leave 40% of paint, it is surely painted but with less amount. It is important to mention because the sun that's where it hits the most and it does hurt the quality. After all the paint is your siding protector from the elements.

@@bohaggin5913 lmao... watch his latest vid. It's a response to dorks like you...also you're right, I'm not an alcoholic so no I'm not a painter 🤣
@@bohaggin5913 easy to talk when you have no evidence of work to back up your claims of being a pro
@@Azraellives751 lol everyone's a pro painter on here.....
@@bohaggin5913 I want to learn from a pro. What's the name of your YT channel?
Thank you. I got a lot of value from this video 🙏
Glad it was helpful!
Just wanted to say thank you very much for the information. You're very interesting person.
You guys make it look easy 😂 . I've learned alot of it is having the correct tools. Good work tho my man . I'm a fellow contractor myself.
Why don't you ever use the swivel head on your extension? It's really helpful for getting those tough angles. Just curious
Chris. Love the channel. This video would make a great drinking game…start & stop 👍👍🤪

I was wondering the same thing.
rhank you for tour vedeos its veey helpful..... 🙏
Hey Chris. Great video as usual!
Do you only do one coat when spraying?
If you do two coats, do you have to mask everything up twice to avoid bridging from the first coat?
I do 2 coats with a 15-30 min wait time between coats depending on the type of paint used. I would also cry if I had to mask everything twice...
Thanks Paint Life 👍
Glad to help James
Hi Chris, what size tip did you use and what kinda paint on this job? Love your videos, could watch them all day!!

Do you have a video with your paint pattern for walls and ceiling same color?
Love the videos, great tutorials as I have just invested in 2 airless machines to start a paint business, you mention the 50% overlap so is it correct to say that you only do 1 coat, thank you, looking forward to your response, our town is also very windy, best tip for such conditions 🙈🤣🤣
Good job 🤙
Greetings from Switzerland🇨🇭
Love to watch your videos.
What is the name of the job in the US? In Switzerland they are called Baumaler.
How about clearing tip in a bucket
I noticed that you paint your soffits and walls the same colour. I never get that here in Canada. Is that an American thing?
When you clear it on the side of the house that heavy spot doesn’t show through?
Like always great tips. Love the 24 inch extension. Great for single level homes.
Thanks for tte tips...do have a video of spraying garage door
Hello, I am from Algeria 🇩🇿 and I have been following you for years. I hope you will make a demonstration video about the graco t max machine🙏
Your the Master just like me!
1 coat is sufficient? I did 2 coats and couldn’t pull tape after 1st and got that bridging.
Stop hating take the information needed to evolve and adapt to your painting he's not saying you have to paint this way it's just his professional opinion and way.
I clear my tip into a waste bucket and have my clean bucket of water and cloth to keep that tip clean. I felt your inner rage when it kept spitting 🤣
💯🤣 I can see all the way from Albuquerque New Mexico you over sprayed that bush👍🏼
lol. 👏🏼 indeed he did. Flagrantly oversprayed
What size tip are you using
Thanks for sharing! 👌👍
Great video
Is backrolling a must when spraying T1-11 exterior??

do you leave the spray gun trigger at the end of each side?
Depends
What about if the soffits are going a different color? Do you sprays the soffits first then mask it off and spray siding?
Spray siding first.... then run tape and drape plastic down
Good info
Seems that if the heavier paint from mid-span starts and stops is apparent then the film thickness wasn't enough.
Nice work
Do a Interior how to prep and spray.
1 coat? I always 2 coat to make sure everything looks the same
You missed a spot… Just kidding. I like your videos. They are good to go.
8:50 why would you not mask the window glass while spraying? Overspray is definitely going onto that window. 100 percent
Don't clear you tip on the house .shoot it on paper...or bucket.

Since spraying my arms’ size has enlarged, but still don’t have the definition you have. I must not be doing something right. 😂
