Can I use a sprayer like that if my neighbors house is only 20-30 ft away? Too close for overspray? It doesn't look as bad as one I've used before.

[@wavvycrockett]

Love your work bro. I'd watch your videos before I went into jobs before I moved to Belize. I miss the paint life. College level teaching

[@richardwilliams6256]

sure made that look easy, kudus to you and the team

[@fatcapital88]

love your videos

[@henryJguitar]

The Master Sprayer man! And Master masking man, and quick job completion man w excellent quality! 💯 😊

[@Idahopainter]

Wow, thanks!

[@Here-2-Learn]

Love those easy houses 👍🏻 no cutting in on the side of the trim , you must of sprayed the eves body color.

[@alondraredd7506]

This was suuuuper helpful! Thank you so much!!.

[@Idahopainter]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mattyice9923]

Question, do you only spray the exterior once? I know you said you do the trim twice and pull tape right after the second coat. Just curious if you typically only spray the exterior once

[@carolejackson8357]

[@sethb925]

Yeap strain paint down here Louisiana to. Always

[@user-vc9jq4ws7k]

When you were rolling the window trimm, did you paint the sides and when did that come in?

[@rothfamilyrottweilers1234]

Awesome video!

[@Idahopainter]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@c.a.l.e.b.s]

Love your channel! I'm trying to watch as many of your videos as I can but any tips on doing a large spray to a sheet metal barn when it comes to paint type. Im seeing Behr Marquee as a good one for price and performance but would go by your thoughts and experience. I grabbed a Titan 1900 from see you using it. Thanks, your content is fantastic!!

[@mattyice9923]

Sherwin Williams has great products for that. I believe super paint or an emerald resilience or any other emerald product would be good, it’s expensive but those products are wonderful in my experience

[@ski6345]

Do you have a video for removing wallpaper.? I couldn't find one.

[@michaelsanders9147]

Now how do you deal with electrical wires running from the pole, to the house and down the side?

[@Here-2-Learn]

Finally using the wand correctly

[@seanz1232010]

2 questions. One i always thought i should paint the sides of trim as well. is this not a thing? and 2) What the heck do i do with wastewater from my sprayer after flushing sprayer? especially if i used any paint thinner??

[@carolejackson8357]

Depends on homeowner preference. I like the trim sides painted same as front

[@PaintStainDemo]

MAAAAAANNN is it nice to know I aint the only badass out there getting it the right way. cut in like a G

[@carolejackson8357]

Fast paint job but how durable is 1 coat vs 2 on outside home paint

[@PabloGonzalez-jk1tt]

What size tip did you use on the sprayer?

[@Idahopainter]

515

[@barberclips4304]

Great video👍. How come you don’t have any over spray?

[@DaNomaly]

He controls it by his angle and the pressure on his machine. Looks like the wind isn’t too bad surprisingly. I would think Idaho is fairly windy.

[@barberclips4304]

What pressure did he use and tip size?

[@DaNomaly]

Prob lower end of pressure and I think he likes a 515 outside for large areas

[@Idahopainter]

I have a video on controlling overspray

[@PureMagma]

My least favorite thing about your YT channel is how easy you make everything look... whereas (in my reality) ...I can't even decide what color I want to paint my house. Now on top of "indecision" about color selection I am also thinking "I need to strain the paint?!!?" 😭😭😭

[@Idahopainter]

Just takes practice

[@seanz1232010]

i just put a strainer around the sucking head of intake. no need for new bucket etc.. Never seems to effect the motor. Some stucco guy told me that and it changed my life lol

[@lestalkmorebasss]

They sell elastic band strainers that fit 1 and 5 gallon buckets and they’re easy. Like putting in a trash bag and dumping some paint into an empty bucket. they work well but like he said probably want to use some gloves

[@JuanGarcia-oj1fz]

I have A Question ❓. What is the Proper way of charging I have worked for years on the field but have very little office & experience I can get the prices ok just not proper, I Charge Hourly for me & my Crew a price of $55 hr But that's for labor due I Charge for the Paint Separately.? Sorry Too long. & Thanks

[@carolejackson8357]

Per my experience with getting quotes it depends on your volume. If you get significantly discount paint, providing it goes to your profit. Some painters let the home owner get it themselves.

[@geneberger4270]

I dont understand why you wouldnt back roll when applying body finish...plus.its a free workout;)

[@jag5316]

Spray the body. Brush and roll the trim. ✅

[@Idahopainter]

Yep

Hello, is it worth to buy an electric airless to paint the building?

[@octane_6327]

How many coats do you spray?

[@jhljhl2207]

Until it covers🙄

[@Idahopainter]

1 coat overlapping 50 percent

[@jhljhl2207]

[@Idahopainter]

Yep
