4. START to FINISH Curb Address Number Painting Demo

[@robertwren2289]

I've watch a few of these, and you have the best idea for a good look and speed.

[@rominhawk3949]

Your method is the best one of the many I watched. Most efficient and accurate. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheVykingJoe]

Dude I did this to my whole city. I was probably the one that did everybody's. I went around to every single neighborhood in my entire city. It took me about a year of working from dawn to dusk going from house-to-house asking everybody. If They needed Numbers painted on their house and I would do it just for a donation of any amount. I made 36,500 that year. I would work until I made $100 and then I would stop.

[@mathusvaiaoga9787]

How many people did you have to talk to you until someone finally said yes? In other words out of 10 people you spoke with how many decided to get paid? Thanks brother

[@ketchupheadd]

thats dope! 🎉

[@TheVykingJoe]

@mathusvaiaoga9787 if I were to average it out I'd say 1 out of every 7. Of course sometimes it was more sometimes it was less but that's about the average. And of those people, one out of 10 would give me $20, the rest would do $5 and $10

[@mikepettit8942]

Hello! Sorry, I have not commented on this video in a long time, but I was reading some of the comments, and Aaron below said that I should not use a temporary marking paint, and he is correct. This is something that I used for a while without knowing exactly what the product was. Are used it because it was so easy to apply. But I would not recommend it anymore. You need to use something that is high-quality and rated for Concrete.

[@aaronfuksa2047]

@Mike Petit no hard feelings. I dont want to come off judging harshly, i judged myself chasing perfection. Ive gone through 3 paint systems & now im staring at my 4th paint for concrete...each better than the last. The 5th being no paint at all, expect the protection coat. This level here in the vide is for beginner speed, but not much more. Good luck, and always brush on your paints.

[@aaronfuksa2047]

You'll get there one day my friend, keep making it better, dont stress it, my customers would hate me if I used temporary marking paint. but those mats are ok as spray shields, even a towel works, you can pick up some aluminum newspaper print plates also as dividers, yet to try some silicone. underspray & over spray is a b****, but can be illiminated for a spray job.

[@bartsimpson1332]

is rustoleum not good?

[@aaronfuksa2047]

@@bartsimpson1332 10% of restoleum is good, not great...etch prime, metalic. But color fade faster than the better brands, but it stays soft & will not harden or dry fast enough like a true enamel. As far as clear coating goes...enamel in a canister is not good, other brands do it a bit better with better uniform coverage, etc. The annoying clear cracking depends on seveal conditions.... Best clear coat is using the correct urethane over it, brushed on after a day or two of drying, no cracking, no chipping.

[@gloriacarson448]

aaron fuksa can you be more specific with the brands like the Wht, blk and clear coat, like what is best brand, what if I want sparkling or deep blk and Wht you see at night🙋🏽‍♀️

[@aaronfuksa2047]

@@gloriacarson448 I'm limited on giving too much much info away. Fan tip cap spray paints will lay paint uniformly on your brushed on acylic white base. You'll need a smoothened surface. Gloss enamel for starters to get a very deep black. 3 medium wet coats timed apart (side to side, corner to corner, up & down. overlap your paint lines by 50-25%. Or try montana brand paint, matt finish, i hear good things. Reflective should be "super fine" in size, with high (reflective grade), "always apply on last coat". Metallic flakes should be reserved for advanced applications, stuck to & buried under translucent color paint....95% clear..5% color, or unde clear coat. A bottle to puff it out & distribute is best in budget. Clear coat can be several types, but a thick acrylic based with UV resitantant & durability is ideal, brush applied, purchased by the gallon, & its not cheap! Use a very glossy recomended paint sheen. The gloss will boost & give you a rich black. Clear coat brushes on like a wood refinisher, & will dry in 1 hour-30 minutes or faster than stated. Further rich gloss & protection after a week later of drying use spray on wax, which may affect reflectivity off glass.

[@aaronfuksa2047]

I don't recommend the aluminum number dividers any more. Going to need heavy ply non stick sheets made for vinyl or decals. And the right stencils break off dried hard enamel paint.

[@DennisJohnsonDrummer]

We did some of the curb numbers in my neighborhood using this technique. Several days later, the white background looked dark like you could see the concrete underneath it, and some of the white paint began to come off. That was with a clear coat on top. What do you think is going on, and what would you recommend?

[@kevinvargas2266]

thats wierd 😕

[@jamestiscareno4387]

He used temporary marking paint ( white ) for the sake of the demonstration. What I do is use 2" duct tape, not masking tape, it sticks really well, masking tape is too unreliable. Tape along old paint edges, rub it down. I use good quality traffic paint and small roller or brush. Put some paint on. Duct taping will allow this and keep sharp edges. Allow about one hour to dry. Then do the numbers. It will last a long time and look top quality. Paint the white then place a traffic cone next to it....come back in an hour. 👍

[@jamestiscareno4387]

Dennis, gotta paint it like a man. Give the customer a quality job. One that'll make him smile and be happy to recommend you to his friends and neighbors. DO NOT go door to door for customers. Do a quality job and they will be calling you. They will be asking " hey, who did your numbers ? "

[@closcastillojr76]

I use Rust-Oleum semi gloss paint. Make sure you don't have any dust on area you are painting, if you scrub it wipe it off. Spray the background let it dry for at least 20 minutes if possible start another curb while drying then go back to it once that background white paint dries so on so forth.
