How To Paint A Fence / Make An Ugly Fence Look New

[@julieredmon1521]

I bought a newer home and the previous owner didn't treat or paint the fence and it's looking horrible already. So doing my research I found your channel. I just wanted to let you know this particular video (watched a few others already) was exactly what I needed. Asking the guys questions the way you did was superb touch too as I learned so much. So thank you so much and really appreciate the information. I am less intimated because of your videos. :)

[@Brian-Burke]

I've never used a spray gun to paint. I can't believe how fast and efficient they are. Incredible.

[@danielevans922]

I install fences as a fence contractor I'm asked about staining wood fences. Your information is invaluable. Also your scripture reference is even more important.

[@Idahopainter]

Thanks for watching Daniel!

[@davidsilverhawk3732]

Thank you so much for all this good information! This is the second time I have used your videos for learning how to do work in a professional manner. I am grateful for all the knowledge you share! I look forward to seeing and learning more! You are god sent!

[@Idahopainter]

Glad to hear they help, thanks for watching & supporting!

[@Maddogprimer]

Really Nice Video guys! Fast Paced! Glad you added in the hard area with the tight fit. Cool to see virtually no overspray and....... back brushing to work it in. You guys just pumped the project out! Mad Dog Primer

Thank you Mad Dog!

Hi Chris,,, just want to know that do we need to cover the fence from the back side so that paint won’t go to neighbors house. Please reply me thanks

[@chadrockman1762]

very nice video, love it when john is in the mix, I enjoy listening to him and watching him spray!!! thanks guys great video

[@Idahopainter]

John is awesome, love having him on! Thanks for watching!

[@briancarver6178]

Do you have a list of tip sizes that you should use per job. Example... painting fence/tip size and pressure. Staining fence/tip size and pressure. And so on....

[@chrisfi3d]

Came inside for some lunch after painting one side fence and one to go. Thought I’d look at a pro doing it. Makes my tools and skills look prehistoric.

[@Idahopainter]

Thanks for watching man!

[@chrisfi3d]

Update. Finished the other side fence. That back brushing was an awesome tip. Not only did it help fill the voids in the rough sawn timber palings, it also evened out the paint, allowing for more coverage. It also helped me finish the job within the 10 litre tin, didn’t have to get more :)

[@royalstevep68]

@@chrisfi3d you must back brush when using a sprayer. I hand painted about 14 x 6ft panels with extra foot of trellis with a brush well they are custom made 8 foot wide panels. Took bloody ages but looks pretty good and even. Tried a pump sprayers, total garbage, so just got a wagner sprayer to see if thats better and quicker.

[@chrisfi3d]

sp royals - hand painting that amount you did takes some dedication and patience. In my case, I used a cheapish Ozito spray gun and did about 120 metres wide by 2 metres high. When I stoped for that lunch break, I was about to start on the front fences. Man did that back brushing (using a fence brush) make all the difference after watching this video. The spray guns are great but got to watch and protect your overspray areas. Drop sheets on ground etc. The Wagner guns should be great. Really clean them out and get your viscosities on point and makes a tedious job much less work.

[@justinegrayson2352]

Just wanted to jump in and thank you very much for your videos. I have been a subscriber for a long time now and you are my go-to guy anytime I am tackling a paint project. I spent 2 days (with 2 helpers) using my old HVLP sprayer and hardly made a dent in my huge fence staining job (over 4200 sq ft). After the 2nd day I watched another of your videos again using an airless. I ordered it that night and the accessories from your Amazon page (20 inch extension and cardboard shield holder). I got it last yesterday and man-o-man it is wonderful. Turns hours into minutes...if I compared my airless sprayer to my HVLP it is like fiber network high speed internet compared to dial up (a brush method would be like a rotary phone in this comparison lol). Anyway - just had to thank you for making these videos so professional and easy to watch. Love the bloopers too :-) You really have made a huge difference to me and many others I am sure. Cheers mate.

[@Idahopainter]

Thanks for your support

[@johnnyr6391]

Glad you liked it, we'll do more like it!

[@stanleyvo5198]

Does it paint go through fences gap ? Does neighbors complain any to their property?

[@ceroefra]

Thanks for the video, I do use the brush all the time I paint a fence, and lots of painters think that Im stupid for waisting my time using it.

[@pangee123]

Great spraying skills! Is it a good idea to use primer before doing this?

[@MaxArmani]

Thank you for the video! I just had my fence installed 2 weeks ago. What is the recommended time to paint it? Should i wait a month or two? Also what paint is that you are using, i have similar fence paint color but cannot recall.

[@Missgoddess88]

Did you ever find out the color ??

[@RonInAVan]

Nice work 👍🏻 I have a question will this titan 515 spray tip fit in the Graco magnum 7 airless paint sprayer spray gun?

[@mackhomie6]

Yeah, but he was more curious as to whether you were using *paint* or paint. Last thing you want is to spend the whole day painting only to find out that you had been applying paint.

[@mikeeaton9822]

You guys make it look so easy lol

[@topcgcfacts4762]

What paint did you guys used to paint this fence or which one would you recommend for fence 🙏

[@michaellankford2064]

Are you worried about the spray going between the vertical boards and leaving overspray on your neighbors side? I’m not asking to be critical, I’m just curious because I’d like to do this to my side of the fence, but don’t want to leave over spray on my neighbors side.

[@fromtexas4461]

Hello, we live in Bulverde, TX, 78163. Could you recommend a fence stainer in our area or location where I could find one. It is a new fence, installed April 2019 and has discoloration do the sprinkler system. Never painted or stained before, so it is totally new to me. We are new to the area so everybody is coming around selling something at relatively high, really high prices.

[@Wellorep]

I had a customer upset that the 1/8 - 3/16th gap between the slats didn't get painted ( on a pre-built fence - which is important in my opinion).. I did not notice you doing anything special for that, or maybe it was something you did off camera? Is that something you do or not? Have you ever encountered this issue with a customer?

[@ckeller07]

Great video. Approximately how many square feet of fence per gallon of paint??

So I have a homeowner of that money is going to paint their fence but they already have a can of masonry stucco brick paint they want me to start with because they use some of that on part of their no I don't want to tell them they can't use it I'd like to accommodate them we already have to buy a couple gallons to finish the amount of fence they want done and another gallon of stuff probably wouldn't be that expensive what do you what do you recommend if I need to go forward with the masonry and stucco paint can I set it down so it goes further and also lets the would Breathe it would also penetrate I hope not create a thick layer that could possibly peel off likely use a paint brush or roller but I do have a Pneumatic sprayer as well what do you recommend

Doom Slayer I was thinking the low pressure tip might help with the spitting. Titan makes a spit valve as well as head I but cracks is his able at the end of the extension

[@chadrockman1762]

your not gonna see spits on the fence plush they are back brushing it. they usually control the spits by knowing where to stop and start. the spits or so small you would never see them on a cedar fence.

what about a fence that has gaps between the pickets? Won't the spray go through them onto the stuff on the back side of the fence? maybe it is a question of how far the spray is going at the lower pressure?!?! Just restained my fence this spring. Used a very think napped roller....and kid power for the lower parts :)

[@mackhomie6]

it isn't clear if you're simply linking to the individual manufacturers, if you are charging more/less than paint stores, or if it is actually a "store" in the sense that you have a physical inventory of everything that you got at a discount. Only reason I mention it is that if I was clearer about the specifics (let's say it's 10% more than home depot), I would rather buy my stuff from you than them. But I'm not sure I want to investigate first. Maybe a sentence or two clarifying that would be cool on some videos.

[@Idahopainter]

It is my Amazon store, so you are buying through Amazon, but we get a percent

[@mackhomie6]

nice. Amazon does so much shot here in seattle that its being a web-site first is almost irrelevant to its services. And thanks for the videos. The night before my first day I watched you mask windows for a sprayer, did it once at home (experienced with paper but not plastic) and day one when the boss came around the corner I was masking like a son of a bitch and could ask for several dollars above his starting wage because of it. Good shit.
