5 IMPORTANT Tips Spraying With An Airless Sprayer

[@fordrac1ng81]

As someone who has painted many cars, on anything semi-gloss or higher, every time you let go of the trigger you need to start spraying outside your area so it is already flowing by the time the paint stream comes in contact with the piece being sprayed. It prevents imperfections which show up in high gloss paints.

Thank you chris and your team. I bought a sprayer a year ago after watching your videos. I spray the trim and doors on my rentals now and it makes the job so much faster and better. I used to pay to have decks and exterior stairs painted but I do it all myself much cheaper. You have really helped my business. I'm doing a 4 plex that I just bought next. Painting has become somthing I enjoy. Thanks again from Alabama.

We all have our own ways of spraying for sure. Personally I never used a wand when spraying woodwork and always took off knobs and hinges. Fun to watch someone else do the spraying.

[@craigpease2184]

A wand wtf is that

That blew my mind

[@craigpease2184]

Use glass mask and that will save a lot of time

I paint for a living and get addicted too watching people spray been watching videos since 11 it’s now almost 6pm smdh!!!! Nice video Chris definitely knows what he is doing I feel John sprayed extremely heavy like very very very very heavy ..... like heavy heavy but no one has said anything that I’ve seen . So idk .... but I do know that was effffing heavy as hell..... no matter what material it was I don’t see any material hanging that damn good lol . Hats off to the boss man though very nice technique

[@julien.thompson.lapointe]

For those who find the video too long, here are some of the tips: 1. Keep the trigger pulled (this eliminates spits) 2. Start with a plan on difficult projects 3. Work from top to bottom whenever possible 4. If you are right-handed, it is good practice to start on the right

[@Greenfarmer25]

Thank you!🏆

[@monkeyvideo1029]

Great videos and thanks for sharing. I am always learning something new. One thing I don't understand or see resolved is the build up on the walls around trim. I never see anyone brush it out and would think what I see on the walls next to the trim would be lumpy build up when dry and would show when rolling the finish coat on the walls. I am about to spray all the trim in my house and don't know what to plan for. Thanks.

[@charlesford4316]

I have been a painter for 40 years and couldnt agree more with you....They took the time to take the hinges off but not the handles also the paint buildup on the mortises will give them fits when they try to refit the doors.

Painters are awesome people! I'm not a painter but I do spray firestop I use a titan impact 840

[@jasonhansborough6298]

We use to always take the door handles off. Then we started taping the handles after a few times we took everything off and the inside of handle was broken and I had to buy handles. So we never take off we tape just like they do. It works great and is faster.

[@TheNuzzman]

That's the first thing I noticed as well

[@jasonhansborough6298]

Well everyone does it their own way. I don’t let any of my workers take door knobs off any longer. To many problems with broken knobs and things when it came take to put them back on. Tape is faster anyway and it looks the same if we took them off so customers don’t care. They just want everything to look great.

How long did it take you to prep? Is that semi-gloss you are spraying? What sheen did you end up using on the walls?

Most of times people use eggshell finish. it is easier to clean. But it's harder to do touch ups if you need. Matte or Flat finish are easier to touch up but harder to clean, and I would avoid use flat finish on bathroom or kitchen areas

What about all of the semi gloss over spray on the walls and ceiling? Will that be easy to cover with satin or eggshell later?

[@Rwhite8278]

Amazing work. I don't know how you all are keeping the atomized paint from settling on things all throughout the house. I see that you have a lot taped/bagged off, but at one point you were spraying trim next to what appeared to be a wood door. Was the atomized paint under tight control, or did you have plans to repaint that brown door, and you didn't care about contamination?

[@chipsNsalsa]

Looked like that was the front door and it was caulked n preped for paint. I'm guessing it needs to be primed still before putting final coat on so he didn't spray it in the video. Which the priming is normally done already before finish coat but he may not have done it yet for video or timing purposes. Who knows.

[@chipsNsalsa]

I'd definitely cover that Chandelier though. Prbly was a pain to clean. There has to be some over spray dusting on it with that amount of spraying.

I have a question. Does it create a problem when painting the walls with the semi gloss over spray on the walls. Does it have to be sanded or primed before the walls can be painted? I assume it is much easier to cut in a nice line with the molding being painted first. Great job!! Thank you for taking the time to make the videos.

[@anthonyresendiz5927]

The unique problem is than u need to cutting with the color wall 2 or 3 times bcz the semigloss is hard to cover it up than u waste more time...

If you cut it in the use a mini roller right behind you will have no issues . Also flat or matte will solve issue as well

I've seen 2" masking tape or two quickly put down on the wall around the frames to minimize the amount of overspray on the walls and avoid "shiners "

[@swordsinging1709]

@@matthewaguirre9206 you have tear out on the drywall. I have found that a better controlled technique with less over spray plus and flat palm sander and sanding sponge after to scuff it well. Will bring the enamel down closer to drywall status. Although you will never get the same absorbsion and that is the true issue. It can be cut in in two coats though but even a quick 3 cuts for me if necessary is better than all that masking and failure and respackling then touching up again lol

[@froey198033]

Johnny Montana just because it's a smaller tip doesn't mean he won't have runs. I bet you he had a couple of runs. He sprayed pretty heavy and sometimes paint just doesn't want to hang right. He has very good technique. I just like spraying my trim with 2 light coats so I know there isn't any runs or sags. The only bummer about spraying is having to touch up. If you have to touch up you can't use a brush or roller because it will flash.

[@shannonwillard9617]

[@JoelzombieThomas]

I thought it was a preference to get high off the material. It does filter particulates, but that's all.

[@pbaylis1]

I recommend door stackers for spraying doors if you have more than a few to paint. Takes a little setting up but we've found them extremely good. Can flip the doors and paint both sides. Nothing up against the wall. All stacked nicely to the side while drying. Best part is if you put the paint on a little thick, the paint won't start sagging.

[@torrejaful]

I recommend door stackers too. but be aware that warping can occur if doors are left too long in a horizontal position.

[@chrislane1797]

We use door brackets that screw into tops of doors. Standing them up in the middle of a room connected together at a right angle from each other. Able to spray both sides without touching the door, and spray all doors at same time. From prime to finish. Only way to go if doing more than a single door.

[@CT-yh9xs]

John y’all still using solo? And if so what sheen? Trim and doors looked great!!

[@jasonlash544]

Did John say he is using a 310 tip? Do you use that with Emerald urethane? I notice he makes several passes on the same stock. The can says to go with a larger tip, but I feel a 314 or a 214 puts too much paint down.

[@nouseforaname6846]

A bit much rist movement, keep the gun facing straight on and equal distance away from what you're painting as you spray it. Start moving the gun ever so slightly before you pull trigger and keep it moving after you let off trigger to prevent any build up or lap marks. Not a critique, just proper technique.

[@Idahopainter]

Awesome, thanks for sharing Audy!

[@ChronicBronchitis-mz2vn]

I was kinda amazed to not see the finger feather technique on the doors. You can minimize overspray by letting off the trigger as you hit the end of your piece, but you need to remove the extension. A 515 tip is a bit more efficient as a commenter stated earlier. My back hurts just thinking about the extra times I would need to bend over with the 300 series tip.

[@brooksbroberg6307]

No matter how I feather it, I have way too much splatter when I stop the spray. I'll try this technique.

[@jsjoel2]

I use a 510 on doors. Way fewer times up and down. But then after 45 years of painting I’m always looking for ways to make my body last another 45 years. Plus I don’t use an extension on trim due to spits.

[@Rich-hm9ux]

John paints like a robot. He got skilz!

[@lonniedickensjr9396]

I tilt my doors at a bit of an angle and keep them spaced apart so overspray doesn’t affect the finish. I also spray the heel and toe before I shoot the whole door. Technique could be improved with 2 of the guys. But I agree that trim looks better when you’re able to spray it as opposed to brushing ( in some instances) Also think the pressure should’ve been lower seemed a bit too high for me. Def seemed like the high pressure could’ve caused some overspray on your finished ceilings. Being a painter we are all particular to how we do things. Great video though love the gear #painterslife

[@bradcorrea9963]

Runs and sags are caused from 4 things: sprayer pressure is set to high, not the right tip for finish work, to much over lap, and hand stalls, learn how to adjust the pressure on your sprayer, use correct tip, watch the fan overlap, watch for any pause time, move move move. I don't understand why they use the tip they do in this vid, Size 210 fine finish is the way to go. And listening to their pump the pressure ajustment is on the highest setting. The orange peal has to to be outrageous.

[@meatball6930]

Always do the part that is the face or focal point last on every scenario here. For ppl watching you want that area done last so there’s a nice smooth even finish and no overspray onto the face after you done the face. For ppl just starting it takes a little practice holding the trigger nonstop because if you don’t stay moving you will overload an area and get runs. I personally don’t do a constant trigger on many things and it’s truly not necessary and there is a risk of overload. When that one guy gets back to spraying the baseboard he’s already blasted that corner 2x3 times and will do it again on the next wall base board. A lot of this stuff is how you are trained and what you feel comfortable doing and mastering that. Just like anything-some ppl cut in walls or paint windows different-we had a guy that could beat anyone in painting windows and I’m talking old style windows with the glazing on Victorian homes without taping -the guy was a crackhead and could do 3-4 windows in the time a great painter could do 1-1.5 windows and they were done perfect but it was his own style. Problem was you’d pay him and not see him for 4 days bcuz of crack. My 10 yr old son types 225 words per minute with 100% accuracy and it’s his own weird style-the teachers tried to fail him because he wouldn’t do it the normal way. So i freaked out and said if you can find any adult or kid in this school or the high school that can beat him I’ll give you $5000. No one was close. Then i checked and the world record was only like 240 which by now he probably is close but they tried to fail him in typing computer class - totally ridiculous -Point is-pick a way and master it.

So maybe someone here can help me, I got a Wagner Control pro 250m and I got some trouble with the viscosity and painting doors etc. What dilution would you guys recommend for a water based paint for the doors? Thx

[@benjaminjoly9607]

Hi from france! Have you ever expérience thé clean shot valve from graco tout avoid spits. I ve used it for quite some time now ans it really works .rgds ben

Best $100 I ever spent for paint accessories. Especially when you need 40"+ extension. Then it's a must. I use it with no extension. I got so used to it when I sprayed a gun without it, it seemed like the normal 'in gun' needle reacts SO slow when the trigger is released.

[@NRecob]

So trim is usually shot in semi gloss & the walls & ceiling are matte?

[@mattfrancis9275]

Hi guys just a quick question we are spraying trim with a graco ultra cordless with water based undercoat, how ever we are geting a orange peel like finish, any ideas?

Painter number 3 did the smoothest application, he stayed on center with the spray pattern, bending his body and not his arm. Prep fell short, more masking, especially a chandelier which cannot be cleaned if fouled by over spray, also, why are the switches and receptacles not taped? They are a pain to clean. Where's the General? Why isn't he up your ass on this?

[@Doitforyoself]

Dude, I love your videos. I'm not a painter but I've learned so much by watching. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@Idahopainter]

You are welcome!

[@karlrodier8081]

Never seen a “professional” spray doors without removing handles ...and get them off the walls with sticks. Paint buildup will be noticeable. Hacks.

[@adriantobin8110]

Thank you for your info. Just started warching your videos from New Zealand. Looking for your online shop for that cardboard holder & tips cleaner tin. Oopps, just found it, Im learning at 90MPH Would be nice to hear when you squeeze trigger by saying.. On... Off, On... Off so I can see Exactly where your cut off spraying point is. Thank you

Learning how to use a "spray shield" the right way eliminates all that over spray. You are using a production spraying method. You are over spraying the finished ceilings?

[@Idahopainter]

You are being a critic without even understanding the situation we were in. Do you realize you were not ever there talking with the customer or understanding anything we were trying to accomplish?

[@Website-Developer]

Oh yeah I have been in every situation you can imagine, Some would even make your skin crawl and hair stand on end I am 57 so there hasn't been too much that I haven't seen LOL

Arthur Morehead some people just think they know everything and you’re one of them think your way is the right way and only way to do things.

[@Website-Developer]

Yeah I agree I get that a lot, However I break alot of guys from some old bad habits and make their jobs easier and more efficient which saves me money and gets me a higher bottom line This "extra savings" gets passed on to the employees as bonuses, So I actually make a game of it on who can save the company the most money How do you do it? (I love giving out bonuses )

[@todoboy1]

Arthur Morehead Right every video I watch there is always something there doing wrong

[@gelipeone]

would't be easier to remove lock off the door? or is there a recon to keep it in place ?

[@Idahopainter]

Not always

[@cristiansalinas1307]

Talk about over spray on the already sprayed mil work it will end up rough and not smooth and i noticed the ceiling was already rolled also and u sprayed the doors that got over spray on the ceiling abunch off rookie mistakes

[@Idahopainter]

A lot of assumptions you make!

[@pintorthepintor3964]

@@Idahopainter What do you mean assumptions? Did you even read what he said? The evidence of his complaint is in your video, you hit the finished baseboard behind the doors with overspray. That makes a rough finish that has to be sanded.

[@elmerdane]

@@Idahopainter did you eat paint chips as a kid?

[@iamlosthere]

@@Idahopainter LOL, these rookies don't like how you're doing so well. Keep doing what you do!

[@brooksbroberg6307]

How long before you can paint the wall color, and do you tape off... or cut in or do it "free hand"
