[@alexanderbonilla1830]

Good job

[@everettedualino9216]

Thank you learned the proper procedure of doing it.

[@ToolsAndI]

Excellent, I'm really glad to hear that!

[@dannycondeii]

Hey brother thanks for posting this. Your video got me to go ahead and go for the purchase of this model vs the more expensive at Lowe’s

[@ToolsAndI]

I don't think you will be disappointed. This inexpensive machine gets the job done. Thanks

[@Specialized61]

Nice clean work

[@edgargomez8662]

Nice.....Congratulations great job

Thank you!

How is it holding up. I prepped and painted my garage door and it looked great. One year later it started peeling like crazy. I am currently wire brushing it, sanding, priming the bad spots with self etching automotive primer. It will be primed with Sherwin Williams acrylic latex enamel. Then topcoated with SW acrylic latex paint. I am very disappointed with the Rustoleum Oil based enamel. Hope yours holds up better.

[@ToolsAndI]

I painted mine a little over a year ago and its holding up well so far. I also have to say that the only prep I did was to sand with steel wool and wash with soapy water the day before I painted.

[@bpd8426]

It sometimes happens if a surface wasnt sanded to good which in turn the paint doesnt have a good adhesive bond but it could also be poor quality of paint or moisture traped under the paint job and depending where you live painting at the wrong time of year could be trouble for the paint.

[@bpd8426]

Oh and I forgot if you live in an arid desert like place oil based isnt to good of a choice it will get hairline cracks within the first year the acrylic would be better because it can stretch better on metal garage doors I haven't painted in years but it's one job I sometimes think about going back to i use to paint the big transformers for Entergy it was a little nerve racking at first because we had to paint them mostly while they were live but we got use to it i also painted circuit cities before they went bankrupt lol it's been a while for sure.

[@rickysaldana9853]

if the original paint on your garage door was water based latex then the oil based paint would wrinkle and crack out due to poor adhesion. whether youre going oil over latex or latex over oil you gotta prep it to bare bones and id advise priming

[@EduardoHernandez-mc7tb]

Did you thin the paint

[@ToolsAndI]

I did not.

[@Phil-D83]

That liquid rubber paint, for roofs of a rv, etc - would that work here?

[@ToolsAndI]

I have no idea. Sorry.

[@dennisl4961]

how many gallons did you use ?

[@ToolsAndI]

I think it was just about a gallon I used. I did buy two gallons.

[@dennisl4961]

@@ToolsAndI thank you, seemed a dumb question at first, i asked because the airless spray needs to be flushed with paint so... a gallon might not be enough.. just being frugal and dont want to buy another gallon and end up collecting dust.

@@dennisl4961 I feel you, very smart. Thanks for checking out my channel.

Nice job

Thank you!

Why does the sprayer sound like a poorly greased bearing?

[@ToolsAndI]

This is an airless pump and it certainly has a different sound to a regular pressurized sprayer.

[@casey360360]

@@ToolsAndI I've used high-end airless sprayers in the past for work, they didn't sound as squeaky as this one. I was hoping you say something along the lines of "the camera picks it up more than you will." Do you still use it? Noisy I can work with if it'll keep working over time.

[@ToolsAndI]

@@casey360360 I still use it, no problems. This is a Harbor Freight tool so it is not by any means high end. However it has solid reviews and it presents an amazing value. I recommend watching other videos of the same machine to compare the sound.

[@casey360360]

@@ToolsAndI I shall. I can deal with the noise if it's a good sprayer. These new HF "name brands" aren't as bad as people say they are, I've got a full cart of automotive tools all HF earthquake, Pittsburg pro, etc. They've outlasted my Snap-On/Matco mix of tools so far with the same amount of use. I'm hoping that quality has transferred over to these odd for HF products.

[@aronjohn84]

They all sound like that even the commercial grades

[@bobbysutphen6047]

What number tip?

[@ToolsAndI]

I used whatever it came with the machine. Don't even remember the number.

[@westvalley411]

Looks like about 210

[@Mexi67885]

Ohhh yea baby i just got mine today 190 dlls ill make 900 yea baby

[@mikemiller7231]

Oh don’t do radial strokes do parallel stroke man! Ouch!!!

[@ToolsAndI]

Radial strokes??? 😂😂😂 Three different professional painters that came in by my house to give me quotes on painting the exterior were all impressed with the results I got painting this door by myself. You are trying to pound you chest like a gorilla and tell me "you don't know what you're doing". Radial strokes, 😜😝😆😂

[@ToolsAndI]

That's a professional, the one I follow and trust here on KZbin. The only difference in terms of the technique between us, is that he used an extension. Who are you and what do you know that this guy doesn't? Enlighten me please 😂🤣

[@rickysaldana9853]

first coat i always spray vertical, i do finish coats sideways on garage doors, its open to speculation but finish coats going sideways are harder for eyes to catch if you get some kind of lines or incase you missed something that spraying vertically made you miss..... this garage door looks like it has a sideways grain pattern i would personally have finish coated it sideways but to each their own as long as the finished product looks good theres a million ways to get there

[@BPTVch]

@@rickysaldana9853 Thanks for the sensible and logical comment. Some try to criticize this video and they don't even seem to know where their own nose is. Thanks for visiting my channel.

Noisey

[@anthony639]

Damn all that prep work I'd rather just use a brush and roller lol

[@jeremyfisher2767]

For a job this size it would seem like a roller would be the better option. That is, until your roller doesn’t fit in all the contours and shapes of the door. An air sprayer gives you superior results with a happy customer.

[@richardlapoint1845]

@@jeremyfisher2767 not to mention if you grab a brush or even a sponge brush to get in those crevices, you'll see the brush strokes
