The one thing I've learned to count on painting is no matter how much planning you do, and procedures you put in place you gotta be flexable as most every job throws a curve ball effectively changing your approach. Great video! We know you really care Chris. 😉

[@Idahopainter]

Exactly! Thanks for watching!

[@martingomez2611]

First time home owner. Thank you for this and other videos. God bless.

[@tomstephenson301]

I feel like I’ve been painting for years after watching your videos. I’m currently remodeling my house and I’ve got about 2500 sf to paint. Following your examples everything is masked and all my doors are set up in the middle of the rooms with door hinge brackets holding them in place. Everything has been sanded and I have two wood paneled rooms as well. Plan it to spray the wood paneling, then doors, then trim with Zinsser BIN then go back over with latex semigloss. Roll the ceilings then the walls. It’s taken me a week to do all of this masking myself. I sanded and painted my kitchen cabinets with an airless sprayer and the finish is awesome. I’m hoping to achieve the same finish on the rest of the project, but it’s through your videos that I’ve become a better painter. Thanks Chris!

[@yosoy3879]

Curious if you think it was worth using spray gun knowing all the time it went into prepping your home oppose to using the traditional way paint brush and rollers? Airless sprayer-Longer Prep Time, less paint time, costly equipment. VS Traditional-less prep work, Longer Paint Time, less money spent on supplies.

[@HM-dj8sw]

Thank you! Planning to finally start painting my interior on my 1493 sq. ft. house. Been wondering how I would attack this. I have an airless sprayer, but wondered about clean up and finish. I was thinking about spraying the ceiling and power rolling the walls. Anyhow, great content and thanks!

[@TheHomeent]

"If you didn't like it we don't care" love it. My scenario I would like your advice on is , white wood work, white ceilings and white walls. Sounds simple but I'm in the uk and our paints are not the same as US or even Europe. So paint for trim is not simple to find for a sprayer. Help with paint choice is the main area I need help with, as well as order. The UK is still fixated on oil based paint

[@siacci]

Hi Chris. Just want to say a big thanks for your videos. I wanted to have a go at spray painting a house interior years ago and found your videos fantastic and gave me the confidence to buy a spray gun to have a go. I did this thinking it would be a one off and would never use it again, however I have used it to paint the interior and exterior of 3 houses since then. Just wanted to say a huge thank you.

Procedures in order as such; Ceilings, Door frames, Walls and than baseboards. Of course it varies if it's new construction, repaints and anything that is bare goes first

Great Video. Please make a video or describe your process for the level 5 situation you mention.

Hey guys! Keep up the good work. I’ve been following you guys now for over 2 years. Have learned a lot. On the first of June, I have 2000 sq ft project where the lady wants everything whitened out. Also she wants the same paint for walls and ceiling(same sheen, eggshell/satin) , then of course all doors and trims. How would you go about it??

[@Travlrsoulsurfr]

"if you haven't we don't care." hahaha yessss!!

[@cco127]

If im doing ceiling, walls and trim, I almost always spray the ceiling first. As long as i got my floors covered (if needed) then im not worried much about some over spray since everything else below it is going to be getting fresh paint, and since ceiling paint is almost always pure white, it covers easily. but then I spray trim, then cut and roll walls.

[@kiditsmaug]

I am a first-time homebuyer and I have been watching your video's non-stop! Thanks!. The house will be vacant for 2 months before I move in and I would love for you to cover a scenario where discuss your "what to paint first" process for the following. Ceilings/trim/baseboards white and walls a second color. Also, I will be caulking all the baseboards. I would love to hear the fastest/easiest masking & paint process with rolling walls and ceiling, but spraying trim.

[@Idahopainter]

Best of luck!

[@kiditsmaug]

So this is what I was thinking and I'd love your expertise. 1: Lay dropcloth and 9" papermask floor of baseboard. Mask all windows, etc. 2: Airless spray ceiling, trim, and baseboards. Let dry. 3: Frogtape top of baseboards. 4. Cut in and roll 1st wall coat. Let dry. 5. Apply caulk to baseboards, 2nd coat of cut in, roll walls, and peel off frogtape all before caulk drys (3-4 ft sections at a time). Once again thanks for helping out our DIYers

[@duaneperry3834]

Nice. Thank You!

[@csgamble]

I've watched many of your tutorials and ultimately they led me to purchase a sprayer to complete my basement. I sprayed it with primer and used a flat paint for my ceilings, also sprayed, back rolling everything, and so far it looks great. The Sprayer has saved me hours of work and with a newly built basement, the overspray is less of a concern for me so it was a huge benefit to use! I almost started spraying my walls but after watching this video I'm going to roll them, thanks for the advice.

[@CatfishCook]

I have a ceiling in master bedroom where it looks like wallpaper was removed n left a white backing. I see seams over lapping . What can I do to hide them n paint over the rest? Thanks for your tips. I tried your tip on painting a straight line on baseboard with 950A caulk and it worked. I also used the 3M 2020 tape.

[@joemusic2882]

Let’s not forget the jobs where you go into a home to prep and you find heavy furniture that is full of the customers personal belongings. They want you to handle everything which I don’t like to do. I feel that it’s the customers responsibility to secure valuable items and remove framed pictures off the walls and book cases too. If I have to do it I’ll charge for the extra time.

[@jsj381]

Ya been in many houses like that and now I don't even go there unless it's virtually empty.

[@TheChrisco1969]

I always finnish the trim first and spray celing cornice/corners and roll. Doors depending on space and how much stufg is in there

[@Idahopainter]

Awesome

[@johnalligood7150]

Great points guys. What's your process when spraying only acrylic?

[@upursanctum]

What paint do you use when spraying walls? And what paint do you use to spray the trim? Are they one coat products or do the spraying machines apply enough product thickness to get a good enough coverage that one coat will do? Or do you need to spray multiple coats?

[@donproctor3445]

When you get to painting the walls after spraying. What do you do about the overspray of semi-gloss on the walls? Do you just paint the flat right over it?

[@DevinBost]

Are there cases when you would spray the walls without touching the ceiling? If so, how would you prep the ceiling for that?

[@julieb3581]

You mentioned in the video that you spray 2 coats on trim in 1 hr? What about dry time? I'm also interested in how fast can you go with dry time? Ceilings, walls, and trim?

[@olegkovalev1583]

The way I got toughed by a guy who been painting for over 50 years and it makes sense like this , u start from top to bottom and the most paint u have goes first, cealings, walls , trim goes last

I’ve seen you paint rooms with a roller and brush, and I’ve seen you spray. How do you decide to do one over he other?

[@ashtenkoerner7433]

My husband and i are remodeling a house and we are re painting all the interior. We sprayed the ceiling and walls and we are doing trim last because of the wood flooring and tile that needs to be put in. How do we go about prepping everything in the house now to spray the trim last??? There is no personal belongings in the house. I know we kind of did the painting order backwards its just kind of what needed to be done in our scenario and now im stressing on how to prep the walls and floor to spray the trim. Your response will be greatly appreciated!!

[@donaldopineda749]

what is the sequence you recommend if you make new apartments with only 2 colors? spraying everything

[@Avital4414]

If the ceilings appear to be clean and dust free, do you just go straight to painting them? Or do you automatically clean the ceilings first?

[@jsj381]

What roller nap and inch length do you use to roll ceilings?

[@kevinnabalta4769]

If you are painting everything in a room (brush and roller, no sprayer available), would start with trim, ceiling then walls?

[@danielkoryzna9302]

what semi gloss paint do you guys recommend to spray indoors trim and doors with greco x7 sprayer. last time i used 400 pro mar and i feel like it had so much dust its crazy everything was white.

[@shevinsacrey5862]

I'm trying to find a video of your process of painting the walls after spraying the trim but I'm having a hard time finding it. What do you guys do? Do you guys just cut in around ceilings and trim and baseboard and roll or do you mask all the baseboards so you don't get any paint splatter on it when rolling. And after spraying the baseboard, if you do mask it are you guys using the method where you mask it and then caulk it because I feel like if you masked it and then cut it in you could end up with paint leakage onto the baseboard. I'd really like to know what your process is because I'm attempting to spray all the trim at a home in the next couple weeks.

[@bob4q]

Hey Chris, love your videos. Question, I’m a DYIer doing one room at a time. Could I spray prime my walls with the flat Sherwin Williams Eminence when I’m spraying my ceiling with it? I know from experience that the walls are a hard to cover tan color that takes at least 2 coats.

What's a good recommendation for sheen or paint in a small window-less bathroom to repel water? The sink and towel rack constantly get splashed with drips, any good paints to help?

[@jeremyparker1415]

How do you find your next scenario videos?

[@JohnDrach]

Thoughts on the roller that hooks up to you airless setup?

[@bobrat]

Try using 3x300 reinforced construction paper and use a scissor. Looking at the closet floor there are like 20 pieces of masking paper. Use 1 piece of construction. Paper cut out the doorway notch with the scissor and put your masking paper around the edges be sure to tack it down. Time is $$$ cut down on masking time.

[@Benny.13]

Popcorn ceiling condo .all one color . Spraying the ceiling flat ,rolling walls satin. ? Best approach?

[@sterlinghousewashpressurew9594]

Spraying trim first over spray helps your brush glide nice while cutting in also

[@Idahopainter]

Great tip!

[@sterlinghousewashpressurew9594]

@Paint Life TV we seal pavers everyday but have just started painting again. It's been a good 20+ years, but man it was a nice change of pace last week. Should have sprayed and back rolled, lost probably 2 days. But it came out great. We mostly did interior back it the day. Would have really liked to spray the window frames and grills. The last guy was sloppy. Which tape do you prefer for masking glass? There's a ton of heavy oxidation on the bronze frames in Florida needing a fresh coat. BTW if you need a good option for oxidation look up gutter butter Patrick Clark makes it. Perfect prep for gutters and metal roofing ect. 1 gal will go a long way.

[@pedroflorespaz]

Do You caulk based board and ceiling when spraying?

[@richardpellis]

Remodel Scenario - How to paint? Want to leave baseboard and door trim off till wood floor and tile go down so I don't have to use quarter round. But need to put in baseboard in carpeted areas. Ceiling, walls and trim all different colors, and this is new drywall that will get a PVA primer coat.

[@bailey2624]

still needs quarter round else it doesnt look finished

[@pkushdreamer]

What about when you paint the trim and crown molding first with semi or full gloss and then the walls and ceiling are flat. Does that change the sequence? How do you deal with flat over the gloss overspray?

[@toGodbdaglory]

I'm wondering the same thing. I sprayed the trim semi-gloss on a brand new room and then painted walls and ceiling (3 coats). You can still see the semi-gloss overspray on the walls.

What about unfinished flooring (no mask required) new ceilings and new walls and all the trim one color?

I know it's a bit old video, but I have a situation when my walls all painted, and we just had contractor finish trim - windows, doors - base. All of it. . .not after patching and caulking, i have 30 doors to paint and about 20 windows! If I would do it with a brush, it will take me well into next year!So how would you isolate the walls in this case? I kind of had an idea of using that tool you showing with plastic expandable film dropping down 9 ft....then cutting around window or door and taping it. Any advise will be appreciated greatly! thanks for great videos!

You are correct. Use the hand masker to cover the walls. Use the 72 inch film and get 6 ft in every direction and you should be good.

[@user2000-]

If your spraying walls first and say it was like a dark grey colour and you obviously hit the ceilings a little bit, how would you get the white for the ceilings to cover when you come to spray them? And considering the ceiling line is not straight to use a shield to do ceilings first then walls

[@rickviramontes2317]

Great informational videos! I'm looking to paint all kitchen & 2 bathroom cabinets, and 1000sq ft worth of baseboards as well as casings and doors. I've looked at HVLP Fuji sprayer, but for that price point, I think I would prefer a Graco Magnum Pro x17 as I can use the airless sprayer to paint walls for future projects as well. Any particular reason why u prefer a roller on the walls?... I've painted several walls with rollers and I can usually see the "W" pattern if u look at the wall from an angle, no matter how many coats or what technique I use. I thought airless sprayers corrected that, so curious why u still prefer roller before I make the investment. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

[@jsj381]

Graco all day every day baby.

[@bailey2624]

your an armature thats why you still see the W or using some really shitty paints

[@alienproductions9948]

Chris and Co., I love your videos and I've probably watched every video you've made on what to paint first. BUT there are 2 burning questions that never seem to get answered: how many coats are you doing on everything and how do you prevent flashing from the trim overspray.

[@TheEasiestBusiness]

You should always do 2 coats if it was previously painted. If it’s new drywall you should 3 coat. Prime + 2 coat

[@alienproductions9948]

@@TheEasiestBusiness Thank you for that information. If it is 2 coats and they are caulking over tape and pulling the tape before the paint dries, are they taping and caulking twice (once for each coat)? Also, is it ok to overspray the trim onto the walls and ceiling if you are going to prime the walls and ceiling before the 2 coats or will that cause flashing?

[@TheEasiestBusiness]

@@alienproductions9948 trim over sprayed onto the walls and ceilings won’t flash if you’re going to do 2 coats on the walls and ceilings after. If you’re adamant about spraying trim you can do it 2 ways. 1) paint everything else first and then mask everything off except trim and spray it, or 2) spray trim first and tape your trim up when doing the walls / ceilings. Also, i wouldn’t recommend tape / caulking if you’re painting ceilings/walls first because you can just make your crisp finish line when painting the trim last and as long as you aren’t super sloppy with your cut ins it won’t affect anything. Hope this all made sense.

[@alienproductions9948]

@@TheEasiestBusiness That makes total sense and I can not thank you enough! My plan is: overspray the new trim (oil-based primer and 2 coats). Roll the ceiling and walls with BIN Zinser alchohol-based primer and 2 latex coats. Do I still need to mask the sprayed trim if I'm cutting-in with brush and rolling walls and ceilings? I see you said "tape" so I assume just a 1" tape no need to cover the whole trim with paper. Thanks in advance for helping me out!

[@TheEasiestBusiness]

@@alienproductions9948 no problem man. I would just put a piece of white painters masking tape (sticks better than the blue IMO) over the painted trim before cutting in with the brush, and I’d immediately remove it after cutting in (snatch it off before the roll even) because it takes 30 days for paint to fully cure and if you leave tape on freshly painted trim for too long it’ll pull the paint off. Or you could cut in with no tape and just caulk the joint and use the caulk as a finish line. That’s what a lot of spec home builders do. They spray everything one color and caulk the joints for a clean finished look. But yes, there’s no need to completely cover the painted trim if you’re only brushing and rolling the ceilings and walls.

[@CesarGarcia-lf9oo]

If I spray my trim first with semi-gloss than roll my walls with satin, Will I see a flashing on my walls? I have big windows especially in my living room and kitchen. Thank you

[@ben3462]

Depends how you roll them you just need to make sure that you saturate the wall with paint then roll the wall then go back and roll the wall going down only not up and down just down and it should turn out fine nice and even also depends on using quality good paint

I plan to do knock out ceiling in my basement to mutch the rest of my house. I thing I should paint walls first as it would be easy to mask the walls rather then ceiling. And one more question: Do I have to paint ceiling before knocking it out or white primer should be enough?

[@Idahopainter]

walls first

Hi All, If you choose to roll rough surfaces cuz it looks better inside, How do I get away with spraying outside rough surfaces. I live in Bermuda so all our walls are cement block and then plastered. Thanks in advance

[@Idahopainter]

Spray and back roll

Once you spray trim how do you cut in the wall to the top of the trim?
