SPRAYING a House Exterior with an Airless Sprayer!

[@accordv6er]

Chris thanks again for all the help. I haven't met a painter pro or DIYer in years who hasn't been helped by your content. Honestly, there's probably hundreds if not thousands of a new generation of painters who are learning from the work

[@Idahopainter]

Thank you for watching

[@buxton92086]

I'm glad to see Chris is painting again! He was a tool salesman for a while there 😂 but nice to see he's back with a brush in his hand!

[@LastCast2011]

brother, take the rope end that's tied to the lowest rung, around the rung over and tied to the same rung as the other end of the rope is tied to. you can raise and lower the ladder and no loose rope to trip over and tangle on things. love your video!

[@davidinsocal3032]

Two more ladder tips: Set your extension ladder against a wall with a 1:4 offset ratio. If your ladder is 4' tall, set the ladder base at 1' away from the wall. If your ladder is 16' tall, set your ladder base at 4' away from the wall. And try to keep your hips within the vertical rails of the ladder when working. Be SAFE everyone! God Bless!

💯💯

[@cornpop3912]

Hey Chris, I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience with us. I'm about to paint the exterior of my house and I learned a lot by watching your videos. Now I'm hoping for the best😂

[@lestalkmorebasss]

While back I was installing some exterior ductwork on a metal building…. So I wrapped the ends of my ladders with the silver metallic bubble wrap we used on ducts - worked great for not scratching the metal

[@nickfrancipane2763]

Thanks brother always learn something new from your videos and I've been painting 20 years. Good job

[@optimumpaintinganddecorati1717]

No no the most impressive thing I see here is the hook on the paper gun! Where did u get that hook to hang on your tool belt? Many thanks I’ve learnt a lot over the years

[@steve13312]

nice to see some one do stuff by the book. a true pro.

[@mymelt1770]

Man, you are in good shape to do all that!

[@Idahopainter]

OLD but trying

[@RogerCampanelli]

Thanks! Awesome tip on ladder feet/spikes! Learned something new today! Nice video!

[@larryaldama1673]

Thanks Chris 👍🇺🇸

[@Idahopainter]

You bet

[@Cj-uq3kv]

When you’re in a close built neighborhood like this one you’re in here, what do you do about overspray on the siding areas? I’ve always been afraid of getting paint on the Neighbors house.

[@johnnyBqwazy]

Love every video so far, thank you! Question as I hadn't found u mention yet - how about perforated aluminum soffits? Spray or do u brush and roll too?

[@Idahopainter]

We spray them

[@xCoolBreezex]

One of the best channels on yt right here You make it fun!

[@katjaco776]

Do you ever spray the fascia? I have everything masked (except the shingles) to spray the fascia and soffits. I heard you say you roll the fascia. If I want to spray the fascia, can I mask the shingle edge with paper and clothespins? Because we likely need Kilz and 1-2 coats of paint, I just want to spray it on. Is that a bad idea?

[@AlexCrockett]

Hey PL TV my wife just started a small paint business in which she works for herself. She alrdy has gotten several jobs that require doing interior and exterior of a house plus cabinets the others are very basic. What type of gun assembly would you recommend we purchase that can doit all!?

[@rosariolopezcampalans9059]

Thank you! Your video is of great help! You are very good at explaining everything step by step! Good teacher! 👏👏👏

[@adriancastillo1143]

damn i cant help but to see how slick that fence looks

[@kenwest15]

Love your videos.. have helped alot with tips. Question. I'm 25 feet up.in a ladder spraying a house by myself. Whats the best way to carry a roller on you to back roll without having to climb down each time? Figured you might have a tip there

[@MyGuyKirby]

So many tips, thanks and stay safe on ladders.

[@jeffo3529]

How do you control for the over spray mist that’s taken away by the breeze?

[@GilbertoCortez]

1 coat for dark to white color change ? Was that enough? Whats the trick :)?

[@JoseMunoz-no4pd]

What kind of paint did you use for the trims

[@DRstayhard2]

I really enjoyed this episode guy! I learned alot of good tips especially with you rolling the eave and what you were using to hold your paint and roller while on that tall ladder. And you're like me i like to hold my ladder and my bucket as well while up there and don't care much for those ladder hooks because i wanna know where my paint is, hehehe and my other hand and that ladder is.

[@spencercolgan]

Excellent excellent work.

[@ensurepaintingplusllc]

WHATS UP SPENCER...YOU ALSO DO AMAZING WORK!! HEY PEEPS CHECK THIS GENTLEMAN OUT, IF YOU ENJOY DOING THINGS CORRECTLY AND SHOOT FOR ONLY TOP-SHELF RESULTS YOU’D BE IMPRESSED 🤗

[@anishamm685]

Thanks for your videos! IMPORTANT QUESTIONS !!! 1-what tip size to use for soffits 2-what type of paint (water or oil base, glossy or flat, etc.), viscosity? Thanks

[@seanthomas8199]

How do you prep soffits that are for attic venting? Power wash? Soft wash?

[@expendable4h002]

Is it necessary to primer the siding and stucco before you paint the exterior of the house?

[@jamesozment1]

I'm not afraid of heights 😂 ,I'm not even afraid of falling . It's the sudden stop at the bottom I'm scared of 😂😂. Enjoy the content. Keep it up .

[@MtPockets14U]

Picked up 1st Airless sprayer Graco X19. Comes with SG3 gun with 50 mesh filter, going to spray Behr Marquee exterior satin on stucco home. Behr recommends 60 mesh filter.. should I grab a few 60's or does it matter. Any suggestions on tip size for that paint? It came with a 515 true airless tip

[@Idahopainter]

Depends on what your spraying

[@carmelolopez345]

Hi Criss you lucks like profecional i done a facia whit sprayer and I used tip 211 and did one day the entire. House I know every body works diferent any way thanks for you videos you are a profecional

[@louievalenzuela6076]

so you spray with a brush and roller got it. is the machine just to look cool for futur customers passing by.

[@Idahopainter]

Yeah

[@hooner52]

What's inside your bucket? Some sort of screen?

[@pattubbs2202]

Do you ever use extensions for your rollers? Prob move your ladder less...

[@BS-dq1kz]

In your opinion, what is the best paint to use for soffits and fascia? Edit: And thank you so much for this video! I have a 4,500 swift home and I know I could do this except for the height of my home in the back in one area. I’m really not sure I could reach it. I don’t believe they make ladders that tall lol. And I’m scared of heights that high too. I am getting a new roof and new siding but the soffits and fascia will be quite a bit more money and I considered painting myself. Ugh...doubt I can do this though just because of the height.

[@TheSkinbeat]

Beautiful place you live in... amazing houses to paint, here in The Netherlands we inly paint the windows most of the time, there it looks like it’s the opposite 🤣😂

[@Idahopainter]

👍

[@gtdodgeviper]

At 13:29 you are caulking and seem like you proceeded to paint over the caulking right away. Are you using some kind of caulking that allows you to do that? I bought Big Stretch caulking and it says to wait 4 hours before painting. Thats a long time if I need to get the job done the same day. Can you tell me what kind are you using or is it ok to paint over it even if it says to wait.

[@Idahopainter]

Yep

[@TapelessDrywallFinishing]

Hi Chris, can I spray paint over old bottle dash stucco? What kind of paint would you suggest?

[@mctoday110]

Thanks for the videos. Can vinyl siding be painted with an airless sprayer? What paint would be best?

[@aftereffect4832]

I have used super paint with good results.

[@MrQueserongue]

Super paint is good on vinyl just be careful with the color you don’t want to use a dark color trust me -!

[@mctoday110]

@Coolride17 Thanks for the tip. Cheers!

[@rawtfmeat6599]

You are the MAN BRO

[@dennispuleo9575]

Do you ever use stabilizer bars on exterior painting?

[@conradyo9274]

Looks great brother 👍

[@lisawenfield7708]

What kind of sprayer do I need to buy ?

[@Idahopainter]

[@mrshiney2]

Hi Chris I notice when spraying eves and the inside of the facia you are not using an extension on the gun ....do i have that correct?

[@Idahopainter]

It all depends on what I am trying to reach

[@tylerfidler5223]

Do you do two coats on soffits?

[@gregoryjowers3629]

How much did you charge them to paint that 2 store house thanks for the video

[@MrOreoteddy]

Couple of rocks & a 40oz

[@ensurepaintingplusllc]

HE MENTIONED THIS A FEW TIMES IN PERVIOUS VIDEOS ONTHIS SPECIFIC SERIES. CHRIS SAID HE GOT 5,400-$5,500 FOR THIS 3,600 SQFT HOME. HOPE THIS HELPS.

[@byronhowell6526]

If I could find a painter of his class around here, only got one quote for $8900.00 for a single story 2100 sqft home with new preprimed siding think I’ll keep looking and as last resort paint it my self. I have Ballance problems and am over 70 or would have done it last summer, keep the vids coming, I have learned a lot. Thanks

[@osbaldovallesteros5692]

Were can I get the jack you have on the facia to hold you latter

[@kentoakley9409]

How long can you leave the paint in the gun before it clogs it. I noticed in the video it looked like you had your gun loaded but would use the roller and brush then come get the sprayer

[@kapnkerf2532]

You can actually leave paint in a gun overnight. You only need to cover the paint can up with plastic wrap or something. But if it's for a few moments, it's usually not a problem. You just don't want to leave the gun under pressure for extended periods. Just my amateur 2 cents from painting my cabinets.

[@MrALEG213]

Nice video Chris but wheres ur drop cloths on roof tiles 😅🤣😋

[@rtista01]

Paint life guy i noticed you paint with vertical passes vs. Vertical does this give better results

[@aestheticshardstyle8927]

Stay shredded brah‼️‼️💪💪💪💪💪💪

[@mattchanay2233]

What is the best paint for single coat trim coverage?

[@juliogomez3599]

To cover one coat you have to match the color if you change the color you have to put 2 coats Use satin paint

[@MrColdwatercanyon]

[@nikilich4429]

When wearing gloves all day does anyone get "dry skin" looking hands. I've looked up stuff online and it might also be "athletes foot" but on my hands, where it's some kind of fungus? Is there a way to not have that happen?

[@o.ggonzalez3470]

How are you keeping the ladder from sliding off the roof of the dormer ?

[@lexandersantana8089]

Confidence

[@jasscarborough]

ladder boot

[@GingeredRage]

2:00 You need to use gutter guard while using a ladder on a gutter. 5:17 Do as I say, not as I do. Thanks dad. 😉

[@MikeVT]

I initially thought this too, but It doesn't look like the ladder is touching the gutter. You can see it flex when he moves with the two points of contact being the exterior wall on the house and the ground.

[@juansolorio9683]

I have never bent a gutter with a ladder so to me that toll is unnesesery unless the gutter is not being painted

[@Utubeisazzho]

You’ve got the ladders. Use ladder hooks and planks. Solo use with your skill. The set up time is about the same. But you can sit down now lol

[@Idahopainter]

OK

[@TapelessDrywallFinishing]

Great job 👍

[@krisward7720]

Your just like me day 1 I do easy stuff lol.

[@cwrowe]

Good video

[@lexandersantana8089]

If you could find a source for those roof boots! I’d buy 1 immediately.

[@jasscarborough]

sherwin williams or google...

[@lexandersantana8089]

Jason Scarborough I have a pro account at sherwin Williams, they only have the pro vision pivot ladder tool, no provision roof boot. Pro-vision themselves are “sold out” at their own personal website for 2 months now...

[@lexandersantana8089]

I can’t find those roof boots ANYWHERE on google either

[@diytacoma5758]

Hi, with your videos i painted my house yesterday thank you. I started in the side of the house to practice, that wall came out very bad, the other part of the house came out actually good. I did have issue with paint spotting/flashing, not sure what the actual term is, but its a 14 foot high wall, and i can see lines. Any suggestions on how to fix it? My theory is that the weather was to hot causing it to dry to fast, and also it was just hard to reach with a 8 foot ladder.

[@oskarbjornstad877]

Ronald Cruz you have to keep a wet edge. What that means is you can’t let the paint dry then go back over it. This is especially true with satin type sheens and dark flat colors. Lighter flat colors you can cheat a little. What I do is I’ll follow whatever board I’m painting from start to finish. So this house for example I would paint 2-3 rows of shakes at a time and move horizontal until that row is finished and go back and forth, from top to bottom, until the wall is complete. Work in the shade if possible so you have more time to move your ladder(s) across before the paint dries

[@OrionConstellationHome]

Oskar Bjornstad Thanks!

[@n3qdz]

Love the videos i have been watching you and The essential craftsman. The siding is going up on his project It would be just amazing if YOU would paint that house?

[@comptegoogle511]

So by looking at your intro, I see that you've done all the walls with the light colors without caring too much about the overspray on the windows trims and then paint the trims with a darker color and then be careful about protecting the light color with enough masking. I had to bite my thong about that basic concept with the juniors I was working with.

[@smokescreen3211]

What happened to your crew??

[@darrenkrobinson]

Amazing skills to do all the work you do from a ladder. Personally I wouldn't work off a ladder when painting so high. A ladder is really only meant for access not a working platform. Scaffolding is much safer and better to work from.

[@wendalkonanui3375]

Love your videos bra🤙 1MANGANG...what size tip you use for the facsia,soffits,eves...317,315...?

[@aroncarvajal7080]

I didn't know you were afraid of highs

[@joeb9848]

Got rid of your crew I see. Slowing down out there or just keeping it in the family, either way looks good

[@Idahopainter]

Just me and the family

[@keeganadams5146]

I like to use an old pair of socks on my ladder mittens

[@bigbob9702]

Chinese bristle with latex???

[@stevenrod7]

Great Video, always professional and knowledgeable, I only wish you would give your audience a ball park figure range (6k 8k 10k) depending on Your region and prep level for the project so people can better understand what they expect to pay for a job at this level, basic, med, high and difficulty and Results. I say this because, I'm also in this profession and there no industry Standard for what people expect to pay for different levels of service. There no painter union or United Painters of America.

[@oskarbjornstad877]

Brother if your actually good and busy u can charge pretty much whatever within reason. What’s killing our reputation is guys charging a lot saying they’re good then doing 0 prep and the house looks great for a week before it starts peeling again then the next guy who fits there (me) has to do twice the prep work and has to charge twice the price and customers thinking the good ones are screwing them over. I apologize for that rant from WI

[@OrionConstellationHome]

Oskar Bjornstad , exactly! Completely agree! I got a few bids on my house. I asked for clarification: how, when, what kind of paint or caulk, pressure washer psi,etc ... Then I asked for the steps I thought were necessary on old cedar siding prep and more prep than bids showed. Got No, No ... no one wanted to scrape peeling paint at all. They just wanted to spray it without any prep- crazy! So I am watching Chris’s videos, got his tools and doing it myself! I have to teach all summer two university classes to afford to paint one house according to these bids and getting a quality work I learn from Chris’s videos. Professionals stop by and say I do too good prep no one would do - o well, I want to live in this house for many more years! And all this exercises make me so strong! Thanks for your comment!

[@stevenrod7]

@@OrionConstellationHome I would use a Turbo tip on the pressure washer at minimum 3000 psi first to break off the old paint as much as I could, obviously this type of prep work is time consuming and labor intensive, so price will reflect that and most painting services or painters dont like to get into this kind of restoration, since it alot of work and time involved to just get it properly prepared to prime and painted with all the corrections needed to make a paint project look great, some owners dont want to pay the cost and also expect that this type of preparation to be done and not willing to pay for wood rot damages and repairs before it can actually be painted. Most will move onto a easier painting project to make faster money.

[@OrionConstellationHome]

Steven Rodriguez, Thank you. I agree. I did use a torso tip. It helped, thanks. I am almost done. I repaired rotten wood with Rot Fix Epoxy 4 steps process. It looks good, feels like a metal strong. We’ll see. Everything takes lots of time to prep house really good. I bought sprayer and tips and extensions... my adventure is challenging but rewarding. Just take time to do things well. Will be spraying tomorrow. Wish me good weather.
