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

[@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

[@josegaldamez4858]

Hello Chris I have been watching your videos for about 6 years .thank you so much for all thoughts and sharing your knowledge.i have learn so much from you. Thank you and God bless you.

[@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!

[@Toneytwotimes]

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

Awesome video!

Glad you enjoyed it

Cannot believe how much I’ve learned watching your vids! Wealth of knowledge. I see what you mean about that triton not having a whip. Looks like you were having to hold the hose with one hand to control it better. B/C of your review, I returned mine and went with the HF Avanti max 821. Not sure if it will last but it’s 100% rebuildable for only about $100 more. For exterior paint going on new Hardie plank siding, do you have a paint brand or preference?

[@johnpeterson2987]

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.

[@PaulAliceJ]

Chris here in Fl. the wall come out of the ground so how do you paint that without blowing dirt everywhere? Thanks for all you videos and time to make them.

[@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!!

[@Toneytwotimes]

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

[@ronaldshank7589]

@@Toneytwotimes The old adage is: You get what you pay for." If a product is expensive, but you use that product right, it'll produce superior results. There've been so many people that thought they could buy, and use, cheap and inferior products, and get great results, and...well... They couldn't. They ended up with something, that, shall I say, failed the endurance test. I agree with you-Buy the expensive stuff. It'll pay off, in the long run.

[@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

[@sethb925]

Yeap strain paint down here Louisiana to. Always

[@fatcapital88]

love your videos

[@ryanprimicias230]

Do you paint trim or main siding first? I typically do the trim first. Just askin

[@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

[@FonDalum-w1y]

Why do you remove masking before the paint dries?

[@PabloGonzalez-jk1tt]

What size tip did you use on the sprayer?

[@Idahopainter]

515

[@JohnAlligood-x9e]

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

[@ski6345]

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

[@octane_6327]

How many coats do you spray?

[@jhljhl2207]

Until it covers🙄

[@Idahopainter]

1 coat overlapping 50 percent

[@jag5316]

Spray the body. Brush and roll the trim. ✅

[@Idahopainter]

Yep

[@michaelsanders9147]

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

[@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

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

[@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.

[@jhljhl2207]

Soffit grey instead of white ?

[@Idahopainter]

Yep

[@jhljhl2207]

@@Idahopainter see alot of that now days 10yrs ago nvr saw it

[@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

[@jarredmimbs3513]

You only put one coat of paint on? You said take masking tape off before it dries.

[@geneberger4270]

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

Nice. Just fired the guy who painted mine. All he got was the corners. Name was Greg Maddox
