Paint application by roller, laying off by brush - Coach Painting

A quick how-to video demonstrating how to apply coach enamel with a roller and lay off with a brush for a professional flat finish.
This coat will be flatted back with wet and dry P1000 and another coat will be applied at a vertical angle.
This video is purely for demonstration and we advise paint to be applied on a vertical angle to prevent dust settling.

End result looks good, but I would have warmed the paint to make it flow better & be inclined flatten off, I would also have used a wider thinner brush pulled through the paint at a flatter angle

Wait ‘till Mum gets home and finds out you’ve been painting inside the house 🤣

[@haggis4952]

That's a good finish

always wear a wooly jumper when leaning over a paint job

As long as it doesn't shed and it's not your favourite... haha.

Still a bit of a rough finish by the end. Dkd it flatten out as it dried? Or if you were to do it again, maybe would you thin the paint or do anything to make it flatten easier?

[@paintmanpaint]

At 4:51 it shows a video & photo of how it looks flattened out where there are absolutely no brush marks left in the paint. Check out our Instagram for more photos of our customers amazing finished projects @paintmanpaint . If you are struggling to get a flat finish, you could add brushing additive which extends the wet edge time, or possibly a small bit of thinner (5%).

Bunch your tack rags up like a ball and let them dry out. Don't apply any pressure on a tack rag it's not a cloth you will wipe the tack glue into the panel.

There are such things as laying off brushes, does anyone use them?

[@paintmanpaint]

Hi yep we are aware of laying off brushes, and I know you can get absolutely great finishes with them. This is a video displaying our products in use and you can use our high quality brushes to lay off with great results! :)

Beware of drips out your respiratory protection when working over the job using solvent based paints. Also not an issue for the wooly jumper wearing demonstrator here.

Silly comment

[@alistercarmichael4990]

I'm curious that you think so. Perhaps you have only ever painted in the ideal setup. If however you are working in a confined space (any enclosed environment with poor air exchange) and wearing suitable RPE for high VOC paints, such as 2 pack urethanes, you will get drips from the mask exhaust onto any surface you are working over. Given that this video is focused on finish coats why would it be silly to avoid drips onto a moisture sensitive coating? Either you like inhaling isocyanates, or repairing your topcoat. Naturally any VOC coating should mandate responsible PPE. Likewise not all coatings are so sensitive to salty water drips when wet. Granted is was intended to highlight the lack of PPE. There is however no excuse for it's absence especially as this is presented by a business that has a legal requirement protect employees from W.E.L. above background whether in the US or Europe. For everyone else doing the odd job it is still important as the effects of chemical exposure can be severe. Let's chalk this up as a silly comment and then watch that video on the train crash over by.. vynil chloride etc. Just in case there is a rebuff of it being a single pack paint.. if the solvent is not solely water then it's not good for you.

@@alistercarmichael4990 I don’t wear a respirator when spraying. I find it too cumbersome and distracts from achieving the best finish. As long as you step outside post job and inhale plenty of fresh air as this will allow your lungs to remove any toxins before they can harm your body

Impressive given it isn't even a lay off brush ...

[@paintmanpaint]

Any good quality brush can be used to lay off really! :)
