hey chris, I am a painter who did the same process of this video using paper and plastic and made ​​me very easy to spray.. thanks for sharing all your videos are a great.. help greets from New York

[@JosePedroEspinosa]

Hi Chris, You teach me a lot! But this time I want to help you: Replace the ladder by stilts, this way you can mask the walls many times faster. We really reduced a lot the time necessary to mask a room using stilts.

[@crankman88]

Thank you for the efforts on teaching someone like myself how to paint, I appreciate it very much!

[@Idahopainter]

Glad to help, thanks for watching!

[@jaymeblue]

Thanks for the videos. You've been a big help setting up my business in england. Cheers

[@WeeDaveBhoy]

Hi Chris, great series. How come you sprayed walls first then the ceilings? Is it just because it's easier to mask the walls rather than the ceilings? Thanks.

[@FreeStuffPlease]

Yes its easier to mask walls than ceilings. Also they could have rolled the walls and broke in around the ceilings but my guess is this way might come out looking better in the end.

[@karynm3365]

Amazing tips! I've learned so much from your videos lately! Mostly that I've been painting incorrectly and in the most inefficient manner possible- LOL. Thanks for these videos!

[@Idahopainter]

Thanks for watching Karyn!

[@RAM-vv4mt]

I love your videos. You make this look so easy. I like your step by step process and dos and don'ts. Keep up the good videos. Thank you

[@pintorthepintor3964]

Hi Chris, Did you have to clear caulk the masking on the top of the wall to stop the fresh ceiling paint from bleeding onto the painted walls? Or is there some kind of exception here? Usually you caulk all your masking in these situations but i didnt see you doing any of that in this video. Thanks again for all the videos and sharing your knowledge!

[@williamturczynski7683]

Any videos on covering/protecting the floor?

[@cliffbrowning84]

This is like watching paint dry

[@mikebigpapa6459]

I love your videos and all your teachings, How I do this, I put the paper on first, then spray adhesive on paper and put plastic on it. its faster, cheaper and when your done painting, you pull the plastic down and will also pull down paper along with it. Kozins Painting

[@jaylii2696]

Hey Chris, Thanks for all of your awesome videos. Question, do you spray two coats on your walls before ceiling and trim? And then tape and spray trim after it's installed? I've always found it easier to spray one coat walls then do trim, and cut and roll last wall coat. Would love to know what you do, thanks!

[@deekoh3996]

Cool,never seen the 9x400 plastic with the 3m print.

[@titit3518]

It’s like made of straw glued together made in 18x24” beveled tiles? I’ve never seen it anywhere else before. But it’s only on one side of basement ceiling and is good sound proofing so we don’t want to take it down. Just painting it a fresh solid white is what we are hoping to do

[@rotaxrider]

What type of tape are you using with the paper.

[@jessiebamba4138]

Wow that great! What about a new concrete wall spray using latex paint?

[@5577omer]

Is not easier with stills? Also I have just ordered online the Titan spray guide. Have you ever tried it? And what is your thoughts about this product? Would you use it indoor and outdoor or not at all?)

[@gared287]

Have you given any thought to using stilts like the drywall guys do to apply your paper? You wouldn't need to go up and down the ladder multiple times - saving a lot of time.

[@marlonmoore9664]

How many tips are you using on a house of around 2500 Sqft? I know it starts to spit after a while.

[@chriscolameco6850]

And I just answered my own question from the video by watching this one 😂

[@atanasiogutierrez319]

Can the ceiling and the wall both be painted at once if it's both white paint?

[@powerdr]

Hey Chris. You have very comprehensive and informative videos. Two questions: Will a Titan 440 Impact handle a 1221 RAC5 tip for priming ceilings? I would like to purchase a Titan 440 Impact (lightly used) on craigslist for $250 without gun or hose for painting my rentals. What things should I be on the lookout for? Besides the obvious. Power on, clean filter, etc. Thanks!

[@Tictac160]

It looks like you are using a regular masking tape? Do you have a list of materials you prefer

[@troytirrell4838]

Chris, so there's no problem with not covering the can lights in the ceiling? I'm priming ceilings today and tomorrow and the house is full of can lights. Thanks.

[@pbaylis1]

So, one top coat was enough on both ceilings and walls in this case? Or do you always spray that way - one thick top coat on everything?

[@titit3518]

What paint sprayer and head do you recommend for one time use painting textured acoustic ceiling tiles? We will probably never use again. I tried rolling primer on and even brushing it on and it’s impossible to get it down in between all the layers of whatever this old stuff is made of?

[@johnal4560]

Hi What kind of paint is needed for TEXTURED CEILINGS should i use flat ? thanks

[@DiceLifeJohnny]

is it risky to pull the paper while wet? what if it didnt cover the yellow ? can that just be touched up cause its flat?

[@Idahopainter]

Not at all

[@zootycoon246]

How do you guys not peel the new wall paint off when you tape the top of the wall after spraying the ceiling? It peeled off a couple times when I did this

[@Dek-marinsaat]

very nice

[@MistaKut]

Better alternative is to use 1 1/2 tape while just pressing top side in. Take 9' or 12' painters plastic and attach to bottom half of tape that is not stuck on walls. Then go back and pull plastic down over walls. I can do this with standard ceiling height without using a ladder. Twice as fast as what you are doing plus less cost in materials as you are effectively masking it twice. This also allows you to pull entire room down while standing in one spot.

[@chucho-co1yy]

That's right! What kind of paint do you use?

[@mattreid4844]

hay there, so only one coat is needed when you spray with the gun ??

[@swimmerstevieg]

Great video Chris thank you...so a 695 is plenty enough for the 1221 tip for this large house? If you had a smaller ceiling and only had a 440i what max tip would that machine comfortably handle?

[@fritzs1207]

how are you not getting paints in your eyes ??

[@tchornomud]

any special tape you use? it doesn't peel you fresh coat off the wall? Always have problems with that. thanks,

[@theChaseGroup]

What kind of tape did you use to tape the paper to the wall

[@dagoram]

hey Chris I appreciate your vidoes and I'm subscribed to your channel, I just gotta ask, why wouldn't you just do the ceilings first so you don't have to mask off all the walls???

[@milesduggan7891]

Idaho dude sprays everything. ........some people spray ceiling then cut and roll walls. either way there should be cold beer at the end

[@KevinsDisobedience]

Miles Duggan That's what I do. Spray primer, trim, ceiling, then cut and roll the walls. It's crazy to mask everything off like that. Plus, most people still backroll to avoid runs and sags. Also, I'm a drywaller, so when I mask a ceiling I put on my stilts. None of that up and down.

[@devinathlonx2]

I spray ceilings, spray walls with metal shield for ceiling and then mask with 9" paper around door jams and 2" tape around trim before spraying trim also. Whats the benefits of doing the walls first? -Honest question.

[@79aac]

Kevin Kevech How do you spray the baseboards? Do you mask the floor? thanks!

[@ChadWade12174]

Do you put anything in the recessed lights so they don't get paint in them or do you just get paint in them. Thanks

[@FreeStuffPlease]

You aint gotta copy them

[@1533ramsay]

soppy wet. doesn't that cause runs and drips. it did for me. I had to back off a little.

[@fort708]

Is it typical to paint the ceiling after you paint the walls? I'm a novice, what about painting the ceiling first then the walls, new construction.

[@nickyb6435]

Erin E King It's easier to mask the walls than the ceiling, make gravity work for you :)

[@scottvisser8671]

how do you fix a run, a sag, and smaller paint drips? Will liquid sand paper smooth them out? Do you spray on a coat over that area?

[@scottvisser8671]

+The Idaho Painter I look forward to viewing that. What will it be titled?

[@vhehn]

do you ever backroll ceilings?

[@the_family_man_clan3378]

What pressure do you like to run a 1221-1223 at?

[@dabbud4457]

Do you just spray one coat of paint? By looking at most of your videos I don't see you wait and spray another coat so that means in just one coat you get just enough paint on the wall that you don't have to for another quote.

[@Idahopainter]

Yes, we typically use one coat with a good quality paint

[@fatboyfatboy8937]

Hello there quick question do you caulk the 9 inch paper tape to the ceiling for perfect lines or you don't thanks

[@Geevo300]

An answer to this question would be extremely helpful for first timers. Seems to have been asked several times. Hopefully we can get a helpful explanation if any caulking is involved or what kind of tape is being used.

[@lsonmor]

Serious question. Why did you paint the walls first then the ceiling. wouldn't you want to paint the ceiling 1st? then you wouldn't need to plastic everything off? Would you get that much over spray on the walls that it would hit the ceiling?

[@Idahopainter]

The masking is way easier then masking upside down.

[@devinathlonx2]

I just use a two metal shields to shield the ceiling. While one guy is on stilts spraying top half of walls the helper is cleaning the shield with water in a 5 gallon bucket then swaps the guy out on stilts with the clean shield. Then the guy on the ground sprays the bottom half of the ceilings horizontally as to not fan overspray up towards ceiling. This way the ceilings can be painted before lunch and the walls after because there is only the need for minimal dry time (tacking up) thats it.

[@daltoniks]

will the white tape not rip off bubble-paint of the wall? (*when removing it)

[@Idahopainter]

it could

[@adamzaloga9679]

hey Chris why do you double mask with paper and plastic?

[@FreeStuffPlease]

Plastic was thrown up to protect walls but it wasn't all the way up to the ceiling. They used the tape and paper to finish covering the gap and probably make it easier to get a clean mask line against the ceiling.

[@EvanFrangos]

Do you have any issues with paint bleed or paint being pulled off by the tape?

[@EvanFrangos]

The Idaho Painter Are you referring to preventing paint peeling up by pulling it off while wet, or pulling it off while wet actually prevents the wet paint from bleeding under the edge of the tape and onto the wall underneath? If you're doing two coats do you have to re-tape and do it twice?

[@risepainting395]

Did you ever get a good answer on the tape tearing paint off the wall UNDERNEATH the paint? I've been having that issue for quite a while... With a new builder/drywall crew, we hardly have the issue EVEN WITHOUT PRIMING! Our process has not changed, only the builder and drywall crew. I think it may have something to do with how the mud is mixed when they apply texture. Sometimes it is AWFUL and other times hardly even tears... We've tried 2050, 2020, Frogtape, IPG PG5, 2090 Blue... and I think that's it.

[@mohamadzulkarnainsulaiman8347]

1layer or 2 layer?

[@cervizzipainting7699]

Just curious that you use a roller pan, is that just for the video for the DIY'ers? I've been painting since the mid 70's and have never met a pro that uses them. Everyone I know always rolls out of a 5 gal. bucket

[@LightGesture]

Cervizzi Painting probably smaller walls, didn't use the bucket?.. I don't use my 5gal bucket on smaller walls or projects.. I do have a 12" 3gal bucket that I just got from Wooster. That thing is perfectly sized. The one bigger was said to not have a lid, so that kinda sucked.

[@user-rc8vb9zd4p]

def good advice thank u. wish I could hold multiple tape rolls on my wrists. knuckles to big shitty

[@luismendez886]

Use only 2 inch frog tape and then just hang the plastic 12x 400 7mil. From the home depot because using paper and plastic its double work

[@Idahopainter]

Thanks for the idea Luis!

[@krausecommercialpainting3359]

I think you mean .7 mil right ?

[@darreneves4060]

MUST be easier faster and cheaper to roll and cut the ceiling in. It definitely is in the U.K. owing to the cost of masking film and tape

[@Idahopainter]

Hum

[@darreneves4060]

I do find your videos very informative, we don’t have half the kit over here that you guys have

[@monicagonzalez445]

Ese rollo de papel para tapar y no manchar. Voy a querer

[@zvezdnyi2000]

Hi Chris, where are 695?

[@benitesw321]

It seems like putting paper is an extra step. We've always simply taped the plastic to the top of the wall then tack a couple of pieces on the center to hold the plastic down. Any advantages?

[@scottvisser8671]

what kind of tape do you use on the walls?

[@scottvisser8671]

+The Idaho Painter I really appreciate you and your videos. I would like to see a future video on Tapes. Some topics: Tape versus cutting. Which tapes you use for specific situations. Proper and efficient application. When you caulk the edge or not. is your practice to tape, prime, caulk edges, paint, and remove tape while wet? Is is okay to paint over tape and primer w/o removing the tape. Taping techniques. cleaning or removing tape residue. avoiding and repairing drywall damage from tape. Taping to hardwood floors , carpet ...etc etc etc

[@scottvisser8671]

+The Idaho Painter I will starting click on your ads! Thanks again!

[@glennferreirajr7146]

I think this should be the 3rd video. because the 3rd you were already spraying ceilings

[@Idontwantahandle6669]

Why not use stilts. They make things so much faster.

[@1533ramsay]

I like how you say "things" . I'm not making fun of you.

[@patrickhepburn7867]

I always paint the celing first.

[@1533ramsay]

doesn't masking tape pull the new wall paint off.

[@camdecorations9779]

Mark Hoffman you need to use a low tack tape not any masking tape can be used on fresh paint

[@antonio35gto]

Bill Burr has no respect for this kind of work 🤣 I do I respect painters 👍🏻

[@MrBenfaust]

wait till that tape pulls off that new paint

[@vladimirtashkov6564]

you should wear a goggles, get splashes in the eyes ;] btw your job is extremely good

[@changomontiel2656]

So wrong Way to much work

[@jamespritchard165]

This is not how to paint a new house ..

[@cameronp5728]

you need stilts lol

[@DCole-yg5qi]

FYI:? We use a 1 1/2 or 2 " Tape along the wall at ceiling. Leave the bottom of tape unstuck, follow behind sliding plastic under loose edge of tape. Then run bead of caulk at ceiling. We did use stilts at first with the plastic but found the roll had to be moved ahead by someone on floor so we use a ladder. Although the tape is applied using stilts. ( Great Videos Idaho ! :)

[@hdsmack7203]

I hate eminence with a passion. But I love you guys 👍🏻

[@ambientpaint188]

Walk sideways, it saves you from tripping

[@jeremyparker1415]

Do you cover the can lights and caulk the tape? I know masking tape is sticky enough it shouldn’t bleed but you never know.

[@vivianbernal424]

Should a raw, recently textured, ceiling be strictly just primer first before paint? Or is paint with primer on a raw ceiling enough?

[@AnarchoHumanist]

Hi Chris, have you tried the ProMar ceiling paint yet? What do you think compared to Eminence?

[@PhilipKilpatrick]

Chris, loving the videos!! Learning so much... If you're taping over freshly painted walls is there concern for the tape pulling the new paint off. Is there a waiting period before applying tape or a special tape to use?

[@rickturner6418]

looks like you got a lot of overspray on your left arm not as bad on the right. hope it cleans up for you

[@paulhecking2933]

Hi Chris, how many coats of wall and ceiling paint do you apply if the walls and ceilings are primed first.

[@mvred100]

great tips and awesome series.

[@Idahopainter]

Thanks Matt!

[@Liveharley1]

Thank you for helping me do it myself, love to spray its easier and covers more even.

[@MrBenfaust]

the backwards guy lol

[@erikcable1755]

I wish the tape would fit over my hand!

[@jwessonsr7503]

I used to wear stilts to do masking/cutin on 8-10 ft walls untill i got in trouble for it in California. Dude diddent like me wearing stilts but boy could i move along. Lol

[@Idahopainter]

lol, it works

[@nicoli309]

After watching you go up and down the ladder with the the tape, have you considered using those stilts that drywall guys use to stay close to the ceiling? It seems like it would save you time.

[@Idahopainter]

Would be a good idea

[@33boudreau]

Very informative, great quality videos!

[@nidusa1]

how long did you let the fresh yellow painted walls dry/cure before you used masking tape/plastic on them? thanks

[@Idahopainter]

Next day

[@krausecommercialpainting3359]

Someone on your crew needs to learn to walk on a pair of drywall stilts. You'd save an enormous amount of time going up & down that step ladder.

[@Idahopainter]

True, we got them

[@arlenerodriguez9577]

What i like to do is put my paper first and spray a little adhesive on paper and tack the plastic to it but the adhesive spray is a little extra $$

[@Idahopainter]

Good idea, thanks for sharing!

[@OblivionForever]

Hey great video, i’ve been a painter for about 25 years now and been spraying a lot of ceilings doing restoration projects. I’m always dealing with discoloured ceilings because of cooking oil‘s and just every day living. I sometimes find when I’m spraying that the texture is quite old or a different aggregate and they absorb the paint in different spots and I sometimes get those dry spots. Because of the different colour and of the new paint put on it is quite noticeable when that happens. We try to cross spray everything but sometimes we just continue to see those dry spots or flashes. What would you suggest that we do to avoid these types of situations? We generally use different types of paints from Sherwin-Williams or other manufacturers. We always use flat paint for all of our ceilings. Once in a while if there is significant staining we switch to a oil base flat sealer. Oh I also noticed in your video at the edge of your spray fan seems to be leaving a thin line on either side. Do you think the pressure is too low or maybe the orifice of the spray tip is not wide enough? I watch a lot of your videos dude and respect your work for sure.

[@Idahopainter]

Back rolling it helps

[@mikenobles1515]

Is it easier to mask brown and plastic at the top rather than run 3m masking and just drop 9feet? I'm sure it's cheaper I guess? Just wondering why you don't mask and pull down your 3m.. Thank you!?

[@mikenobles1515]

The Idaho Painter thank you so much for the reply

[@pr4runner]

About how much did it cost the customer for the job including materials?

[@Colwray1]

+The Idaho Painter how many rooms?

[@dgiuntaXXX]

Do I need to turn off the central air when spraying? Thank you!
