Great job Phil, I was going to ask why you chose hvlp over the quickshot. Can see you wanted more fluid control plus Control the fan pattern. Hope to see conclusion of this job soon.

Thanks again Phil for a good video. Although a Decorator, most of my work now is spraying for a couple of local joinery firms. Since trying Zinsser BIN Aqua, I use it all the time now, I rate it very highly. I have to order it online though as my local Brewers does not stock it!

Hi Phil, could you paint the cabinet with the quick shot and get similar results. I’m not sure when an HVLP sprayer comes into play.
@ProfessionalPainterDecorator11 сағат бұрын
yes with a small tip size. HVLP. more control at the gun, good for fine finish.. and uPVC spraying

Great job Phil,had a few alcoves to do lately but wasnt brave enough to try spraying,as regards caulking is there any caulk that you can paint over instantly without it crazing or cracking?I find most caulks need to dry overnight but I know bostik does one,think it's A908,I tried one today from screwfix called nemesis mighty decorators caulk and it says paint over instantly,the texture was like a mixture of filler and caulk combined,I was trying to get a bedroom painted in one day so thought I'd give it a go,I didn't get a chance to see how it all dried out as everything was wet when I left but hope to check it next time I'm back there

I use RED DEVIL caulk.. I'm painting over it within half an hour, if not less, no issues with it. Its interior and exterior so flexible as well. YOu may have seen it used on other spray videos I've done.

I recently done my garage and veranda with fiberglass KNAUF drywalls, all surfaces were prepared, walls and colums parged coated ( cement based ) and ceilings skim coated/plastered. The guy told me to stabilize everything before i paint do i really need to do that? Thanks!
@ProfessionalPainterDecorator20 сағат бұрын
i've not heard of that before, If in doubt, I'd check with the paint manufacturer that your using. Some paints are fine to go staright on, other may have a dedicated primer for cement base substrates. A future video I mention about this as the paint I use is good to go, but they do have a primer (oil based) to use if you are going over cement based fillers.

Hi I enjoy watching ur videos. Please could u help? I have Rockwall fibreliner my walls which I have wallpapered many times before. The fibreliner has given a good finish. I am wallpapering all the walls except the chimney breast which I am painting in teal emulsion. I have let the emulsion go on to the wall which is going to be wallpapered with cream wallpaper. It’s only about 1cm. Should I paint it over with Zinsser bullseye or Ronseal one coat all surface primer? Thanks in advance.
@ProfessionalPainterDecorator20 сағат бұрын
you mean touch up over the Teal thats on the wall rock, so it doesn't show through the finish paper when you hang that? That sounds a good idea, anything light coloured should be fine.

Hey mate, just run into your video, I have recently done my metal garage and veranda with fiberglass drywalls, everything is sealed , ceilings and walls plastered , walls parged coated and preped by a professional. Painting will do myself so the guy told me i need to stabilize everything first, do i really need that since everything is new?
@ProfessionalPainterDecorator20 сағат бұрын
answers on the other thread. in general, you thin your forst coat of paint down. let that soak in. Stabilising is only used on friable/powdery/poor old surfaces.

Please can you advise how to spray a ceiling, given the nozzle is perpendicular to the paint holder? The paint stops spraying as the level drops due to the angle. Is there a different technique to ceilings?
@ProfessionalPainterDecoratorКүн бұрын
have you turned the pick up pipe so it's facing towards you, that way when poitning up, the pipe is still picking up the most paint in the pot.

I've just sprayed the cupboards in our Utility, using Bradite One Can, slate grey, with the Graco quick shot, was my first time using the Graco, but I've rolled the paint before. Really chuffed with the outcome, 8/10 I'd say, as I did have some newbie issues, I should have thinned the paint, reduced the pressure from 5 to 3, and made sure the pot on the sprayer was topped up. Not sure about using the belt either, as I couldn't keep the sprayer level on my hip. Misses is well chuffed though. Cheers Phil.

Working 6 days is a young man’s game. I work 5 sometimes 4 days a week. Been to Lisbon and Mallorca in May and June and am going to Malaga in September. Always off over Christmas. I’ve got to the stage where I’ve turned the tables and made it that I’m doing the customer a favour by doing their work. I have a colleague for 26 weeks of the year so I also earn while not on the tools. It’s taken 40 years to get to this point and now things are really, really good.

Phil, I have applied 2 coats of BIN to varnished doors. Using Aqua Guard white over the BIN. Do I need to put on an undercoat or just. 2 coats of AG?
@ProfessionalPainterDecoratorКүн бұрын
the uc for the AG would be a good way to get a 'hand in glove' paint system going over the BIN. it'll help with build up too.

Bought my first house and there's lots of hairline cracks and the walls are abit all over the place. Lots of people have recommended wallrock fibreliner smooth. I will be filling and sanding all the cracks but the walls have all been painted in vinyl silk. Can I apply size then the next day paste the wall and hang or do all the walls need sanding with it been vinyl silk? Thanks
@ProfessionalPainterDecoratorКүн бұрын
if the walls are vinyl silk... you don't need to size those as its not a porous surface, if there's filler, its worth spot priming those area as they'll suck the paste in.

@ProfessionalPainterDecorator2 күн бұрын
@@RickyHudson-cj4un the mesh filter in the gun? The finer mess, is better for your finishing paints.. like in woodwork. The mess that's more open, allows more paint through it.. somis better for thicker paints like emulsion. If you put a fine mess on and use it with emulsion.... It's struggles. If you do a open mesh with thinner paint... You seem to gets loads dumping out of it.

The problem with painting is generally most people can do it, and of course this doesn't mean they know what the are doing and the final job will look brilliant. I personally think if you're charging more than £200.00 a day outside of London here in 2024 you sure as hell better be doing the most professional jobs and making it worthwhile.

Also most decorators I know use the medium pile microfibre like a “jack of all trades” whether on smooth walls or semi smooth they really don’t bother with the fine or short pile as the finish is not little or no better.
@scottlstone2 күн бұрын
The reason some trade decorators use a 4 inch to roll their paint from brushes is because they use the wider double arm roller frames that won’t enable them to get that close to the edge of the wall
