The only thing I can say about back rolling is that it will smoosh into the nooks and crannies in the drywall texture where as spraying it’ll stay on top of it may leave a little pinholes you’d have to spray pretty heavy. I’ve done it too late before and showed up spray lines after the finish so I always go heavy and back roll now

Chris are you able to spray the topcoat without back rolling or do you roll the final coat? I just primed drywall (sprayed) and sprayed the first coat eggshell and it looked a little streaki so I just rolled the final coat eggshell and it is way better finish streak wise at least ... but still not perfect or is that just the way it is that you can’t get glossy paints to be streak free? Is there always a little bit of a unevenness ?

So you mask twice one before priming walls than off and you remask for finish paint . Thank you Chris!

I have a quick question, when we prime houses we have someone rolling right behind who evers spraying. Does it make a difference whether you roll or not? Btw we use ProMar 200 Zero VOC Interior Latex Primer for priming houses

would you back roll if it was a spray knock down texture? maybe with that big tip it over comes it?

your way of masking is really cool and fast gonna try that my boss makes us cut the plastic wit a razor knfe then tape it up its sorta slow glad I seen u doing that gonna try to do ur way looks faster and gonna get a wand extension also we use step ladder love ur videos u the man love the 1140 its the best

Yep!!! Um...so, you won't believe this, but I've been using a titan 440 impact to do all my priming in a new construction house. Obviously, It's taking a while and I'm overworking my 440. My local SW doesn't stock sprayers so gonna invest and order a bigger unit. lol

hey Chris. I love graco more. although titans are good. I find I am more comfortable with a graco. I mostly use the ultra max ll 490. your machine would be comparable to a Ulta max ll 695 if I am not mistaken. the bigger the better most of the time. be blessed.

I know you said this was a textured wall but would you back roll over raw sheetrock with no texture or is your method the same? Thanks and love your videos

chris, i love your videos! Is it necessary to backroll the pva primer on new drywall? I'm a drywall finisher and alot of general contractors insist on us back rolling when we spray the primer on new drywall. Thanks and keep up the great work!

This is a random question but do you or could you shoot a video of your trailer setup? I liked the little we saw in the vid!

Can you make a video on doing a mill-pack? Bondoing, priming, caulking, top coating

So what type of primer would you recommend before texture even goes on the wall?

Just a thought, if you back roll the primer you don't have to dust unless its excessive ( i use a 24 inch floor broom). If the primer is too thick i cut the primer 10% with water. I always back roll the primer :) Different strokes for different folks :)

If I'm correct, the mopping was done BEFORE he sprayed the PVA primer in another video... Where he showed prepping the walls before priming.. He mentioned that he mopped the walls because they were smooth and didn't have any texture on them... and they were sanded... not sure why he included that insert with this video..

Hey guys, so do you cut and roll the two top coats

Bout to start painting company and can only afford one spraye right now shoul I go with a titan 440 impact or what would Chris do?

so I read some of the comments about back rolling so I thought I would put in my 2 cents from being a painter almost 20 years... yes you can just spray the primer, yes you can just spray the paint finish too, but.... primer won't seal as good just sprayed also depending on your primer it might flash spray strokes.. same with paint gonna look real 'sprayee' if you just spray the finish not to mention in most cases it will touch up like crap. some flats will touch up fine but anytime you take a roller to a sprayed finish to touch up your pretty much gonna see it. He's using a pva so those usually are very dead flat & will not flash at all. He's also doing high production work & a lot of painters will just spray everything on new construction, primer, then flat on all the walls & ceilings. Why because it's quick & you have to make $ & sometimes there's multiple homes after one another but its not the best way to apply. If you spray & backroll all your primer in it will feel like a job well done & be noticeably more solid I can guarantee that, then spray & back roll your finish paint & you'll be looking like a real painter that cares more about quality then $. That's just my experience with it

Great video. How many coats of primer do you need?

that's how we do drywall works well use pva it works well do u have a problem with ur paint fingering out of the sprayer? I used to I mix some water with the paint and it stopped fingering

If I have a partner with me, then one of us would backroll (good idea when spraying drywall like that), otherwise I just do what you did. Spray it and call it a day. Even though it is a dirty job, I actually enjoy doing it. You can be very productive in a very short time.

now I see no trim is in.....would you come back later after trim is installed, mask around the walls, and put drop clothes to cover the floors? Then prime the the trim, then top coat with the sprayer?

Amén brother! Love the the Bible verse

Hey my man. How are you? Do you back roll the PVA or just spray?

Hi, where can I find the other videos in the series. The embedded video doesn't work. also how do you deal with a situation in a remodel when you have one section of the house with all new drywall ceiling and the walls are old painted drywall, can I use the PVA primer on the old drywall?

So you didn’t have to thin the primer down to run it through the airless sprayer? I’ve have never done interior house walls but plenty of industrial equipment with an airless. Also, do you have to put topcoat the same day or can the primer sit a little while before topcoat?

Question about paint after texture I apply orange peel texture on a 700sqft retail local and spray paint the wall (satin) right after, but when I came back next day I notice if I stand on front of the wall looks great but if you stand along the wall and look the natural light reflection look like either the texture wasn’t even or needs more paint.

we have some existing walls that got all new knock down texture to match the all new sheetrock on the other floors. Would it be ok to install all trim/baseboard, and Spray PVA primer those walls with some pva overspray on the trim (not mask new trim). then later, spray all the trim. then mask trim and roll ceiling an walls? how would you do this?

PVA on trim is not a good idea

Hello Chris great work! I really appreciate your videos! I know this is an old video so I don't know if you will respond to my question but I'm curious about something. I'm priming the new drywall in my house and I've heard stories that you're supposed to sand and then apply another coat of primer and then sand and then paint is this true or not? I'm using the Sherwin-Williams good primer that you use is one coat enough and do I have to sand after priming before finish paint? By the way I am rolling not spraying. Thanks and take care!

@Idahopainter

7 жыл бұрын

It depends on how rough the wall is whether or not you need to sand

No offense, but I can prime a 4 story townhome ceilings and walls (and backrolled) in 4 and a half hours. 2 guys. We do a light mist of pva on the ceilings and closets, then prime the walls with a good coat and backroll, then after that's just about dry, we spray the ceilings and closets with their desired color. Graco 1090 at full pressure using a 517 tip. This method you're doing is functional, but lacks production....In new residential construction of course. I've been doing NC for years, I've learned to find the fastest and most productive ways that deliver results. Up your speed and use a bigger tip. Let the machine do the work. and backroll! use a 14 inch roller. Spray the roller with material on the wall and get it nice and primed before backrolling.

That's cool, but why not just wait to do the ceiling closets and walls all at once. You're making yourself an extra pump cleaning step.

what is the labor costs for painting a room or house..?

You don't back roll while primping?

Here's a question...Stripping wallcovering that refuses to let go of the wall ( walls not primed ) I.e. not good at all, major headache. Customer are seniors and requests no solvent based primers. Do you have a go to water based primer to apply over wallcovering? Need help, answers A.S.A.P.!!!

Can you prime a wall/door that has latex paint over it already or do you have to start from scratch?

@ssl3546

well a door probably has gloss or semi-gloss paint (or worse, oil) so you should scuff and prime before painting.

Should the PVA primer be semi transparent? Should you be able to see where the mud is after its primed? I'm using Kilz PVA not thinned with a 18" roller.

PVA is typically white.

When we do new houses will caulk the inside of trim spackle holes sand and prime everything then we dig corners out and sand everything in house then finish ceilings then caulk against drywall everywhere them spray all trim closets go with trim too unless walk-ins they r concidered rooms

Chris is it really necessarily to back roll when your spraying 1)PVA? 2)Finish? 3)Stucco? Sometimes I do sometimes I don't just depends on the feel and look I have if I think it's absorbing well and looks smooth I don't bother back roll is this a misteak?

Usually people don’t want to spend that much money on paint so they aren’t looking for something like a heavy done coat but of course you want to hit everything and not leave it light enough when you can see the difference color between the paint and drywall

Do you put any tint in your primers or white? I've heard of some painters using some black for extra hide.
