What to Paint First? Tips and Tricks for Painting Solo! Final Solo Painting Project Revealed.

[@gordycummings]

Thank you very much. You are a great resource.

[@kholler25]

Great energy, Great pants. Going to use your episodes to help solo paint my exterior house. Would using the Graco 517 tip that comes with the CleanShot be more suitable than a 515 tip to repaint siding from a dark color to a light color? Just figure more paint would provide better coverage using a high end paint such as Emerald.

[@robwhiff3411]

Love your work and advice 🙂.. what do suggest to use for paint for my house that has vinyl siding ? .. I’m in New England I see my options for paint are Benjamin Moore , Sherman Williams and other major store like homedepot and Lowe’s , I have used Benjamin for my interior with great results.

[@jeremyhasak1010]

How about overspray getting on the concrete floor? How do you deal with that?

[@Idahopainter]

There is no overspray on the concrete

[@christopherortiz6280]

How’d you like that glidden paint? I’ve used it once and I think its pretty bad

[@christopherortiz6280]

Oats Buckey yeah I know, I usually use resilience from sherwin williams unless told otherwise by my clients. But if they were to ever request glidden I wouldn’t go for it.

[@xianthegaian4060]

One time I was taking a couple gallons of glidden from Walmart to the job site on the back of my truck and the bottom of the cans popped because the sun's heat disconnected the tin metal from the plastic on the bottom , spilled paint all over the road 😂

[@christopherortiz6280]

Oats Buckey I’ve used it before man expensive stuff! Only use on super high bids

[@brentr9702]

Awsome job!!

[@Idahopainter]

Thank you! Thank you for watching 🤙

[@OrionConstellationHome]

Beautiful! Amazing! Caulking and prepping this house was your first video that I found searching for house painting tips. Seeing all the steps and the final product is very helpful. Great editing and tracing skills! I admire your dedication to your job and teaching others! It is inspiring! Best wishes!

Love it.. thanks for the tips !!... 👍👉👉... #paintlife... #ilovemyjob... #eddiethepainter..

What happened to your employees? Do you not have a crew anymore? I haven't seen journeyman John or any of the guys in a long time so I'm kinda out of the loop I guess?

[@josephgraham1065]

Journey man John owns B & K company now he sold the company to him

[@TheMaheecan]

Never use glidden paint

[@Idahopainter]

I have. Some of it is good.

[@TheMaheecan]

@@Idahopainter Which line of Glidden products do you use? Also, can you make a video about how your time in the military may have helped or hindered you to become a contractor? What were some lessons that you learned in the military that you still apply to your everyday work life? I used to be a painter and I thought I was already effecient at my trade. but I've been in the now only 5 months and I can already see major improvements i need to make as soon as I my service ends. I could have worked harder than I already was. (also I can now see how free it is to be a civilian) only 5 1/2 years to go.

[@ensurepaintingplusllc]

WHATS UP CHRIS, THE DRONE USED IN YOUR VIDEOS? THIS PROJECT CAME OUT AMAZING ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU!

[@davehaney4875]

I never use sprayers. Most customers tell me they dont want sprayers used on thier homes. I brush and roll. I never have to waste time making off windows etc..I just lay tarps over concrete...I roll doors and never get stippling because I use Paint extender Flo troll...Its always windy in Kansas..

[@Idahopainter]

Whatever works

[@capitalK9]

Awesome work! Thanks for all of your work and info.

[@predator_boiz336]

I completely understand if you don’t want to share this but if you don’t mind me asking What did you charge to paint this house solo?

[@Idahopainter]

$5400

[@predator_boiz336]

@@Idahopainter not bad for 5 days lol, is that materials included or do you charge separately for materials? Know that’s a little pushy to ask , I’m 23 thinking about going on my own by next year been painting since I was 18 and absolutely love it been watching your videos since I started out and have learned a great deal from them, I’m just trying to wrap my head around pricing jobs and getting the clients built up lol I know it takes time

[@ensurepaintingplusllc]

@@predator_boiz336 MOST LIKELY FINAL PRICE INCLUDES LABOR/MATERIALS AND PROFIT... A SOILD COMPETITIVE PRICE FOR SIZE/CONDITION OF SUBSTRATE. GOOD-LUCK! YOU CAN DO IT👍🏻

[@tonyroslund]

Chris, Wondering if you ever use any additives in the trim paint to prevent brush strokes (i.e. Floetrol or similar)?

[@pweseloh]

How did you determine your bid and tile estimate for a job like this?

[@xianthegaian4060]

I'm pretty sure he looked up how much other people charge for similar jobs then just added the cost of materials.

[@leadinglady6724]

Very Nice. What are the names of the paint colors?

[@willhunting8873]

Wow houses in Europe so different than USA no plaster cement

[@Idahopainter]

Yep

[@jorgeaceves4121]

What happened to your crew

[@Idahopainter]

I sold my business and I am working on my own so I can test more products and tools🤙

[@jorgeaceves4121]

Right on man keep up that’s good work I know it’s not as easy as it looks Awesome videos

[@adamsimpson3254]

👍🇮🇹

[@bradcrabtree9276]

Pro tip: aluminum foil is a great masking material for items like water outlets. Only need some 1" tape around the substrate meet point for a clean line.

[@richardlewin9282]

Nice job, I have worked for some real hacks it's nice to see a professional doing it right. Painters have gotten a bad reputation because of shysters but when can show a finished product as nice as that it helps to put there mind's at ease.

[@xianthegaian4060]

Hey you hiring man? Your videos helped me allot. I have 10 years xperience, can pretty much do it all except for faux finish

[@wesbutler9999]

A new coat if paint dresses things up!

[@williebalderas7298]

Do you do 2 coats on the trim?

[@ShoppingMama1]

I am gearing up to paint our Two-story 2300 square-foot home. You really have me pumped. what was the square footage of this home I know you said you used 14 gallons for the body just trying to figure out how many gallons I will need. Thank you and I enjoy your videos

[@ensurepaintingplusllc]

34-3,500 sqft 👍🏻

[@drewallen8326]

Thanks so much dude,your videos are Awesome. Im a cabinet fonisher and interior painter,I have my C33 but shy away from exterior paint.Watching your videos has inspired me to go after exterior jobs.

[@Idahopainter]

Awesome to hear🤙

[@Knute1232001]

Awesome videos. Do you ever remove the exterior door knobs? I can't ever seem to get it right just masking them.

[@Idahopainter]

Yes I do!

[@carlosarenas5252]

EXCELENTE

[@manny7h]

Hello for Houston Tx. I enjoy your videos. Thanks for the videos.

[@ecocountertopsidaho3809]

When the facia and gutter is a different color than the soffit which one do you spray first and how do you best protect the other surface from overspray?

[@christopherortiz6280]

Eco Countertops Idaho remove and spray gutters separately, spray soffit, then brush fascia usually

[@ecocountertopsidaho3809]

Christopher Ortiz Thanks for the input. The facia and gutters will be the same color. But different than the soffit. So I was thinking maybe spray the gutters and facia together and then spray the soffit, but I wasn’t sure how to protect the facia from overspray when spraying the soffit.

[@ridenorthwest1687]

@@ecocountertopsidaho3809 If you really want to spray the gutter and fascia first youll want to back mask the gutter and fascia with paper to protect them.

[@imout671]

Thanks so much.

[@Idahopainter]

Your welcome! Thanks for watching!🤙

[@ulyssesalvarado3573]

whats a quote for a house like that

[@MaxRockatansky853]

[@jeremiahjohnson6242]

Hey bud looks great I've loved your videos for years I'm a solo painter in Washington state been doing spec homes, your tips have helped me over the years I appreciate you.

[@OrionConstellationHome]

About 10000 in Seattle + paint.

[@nicepantbro]

Love your videos! As I've stated in the past, my mother is a very very big fan. Just wanted to say that these videos are also very informative and well shot. Honestly the editing is fantastic, not over the top and really gives it an authentic feel. Cheers!
