Hi Chris, thanks for your videos. You have made me the painter I am today.

Great Tips and I really appreciate the explanation about the gun and tip to use.

You are a great painter Chris thank you for your videos

I was a painting contractor for 20 years. I quit in 2007 but just recently came back to painting, can't believe the freaking price of paint! Anyhow everyone has there own tricks and ways of doing things. But this is how I use to do ceilings also, I found for myself, it provided nice straight lines and I was a pretty good cut in man also, but I still rather mask off the walls even though its a pain. I recently saw a guy spray all of the ceilings first, then came back the next day and sprayed the walls wet 3/4 of the way up and had a guy following the spray back rolling and cutting in. I thought it turned out pretty good, the ceiling lines were pretty straight. He did get a little over spray on the ceilings here and there mainly in the hallways, but he just touched it up. Hey whatever works for you.

Also have emerged myself in the study of airless spraying,from techniques,spray patterns,operation,maintenance,tips,anything I can find,,majority from u,,lol..so more hours in the classroom probably then on site

New at airless spraying. I have bottom of the range wagner 150 control. But after doing a few rooms think will need to upgrade. Ive watch loads of your vids and so many hints and tips learnt. Even purchased your tape belt holder.. awesome!!! Seeing how you mask up the wall. Ingenious. Thanks and keep doing what you do best. Thank you.. 🇬🇧

Any suggestions on how to approach/paint cathedral ceilings? The peak is 15’ - just use a scaffold system and keep moving it around? Thanks!

What do you do with the can lights that don’t have a housing and the blow in insulation is in the hole. How do you keep it from falling down?

nice work

i have question when i paint with my new new hairless spray gun first it makes to lines on the two side second when i stop it get way more paint on the spot that i stop any solution thanks

If I have to prime then paint the ceiling, do i have to mask twice? Once for primer, then for paint?

How much square footage of ceiling could be sprayed with 5 gallons? I'm spraying onto raw sheetrock so 2 coats back to back. any tips on keeping the spray rig on standby while the first coat dries? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

ótimo trabalho...

Do you have to cover the recessed lights or is some overspray okay? You don't have to take off the cans?

hey Chris, percentage wise, how much more paint is used utilizing a sprayer versus rolling the ceilings?

Going to spray paint the exposed basement ceiling. What size tip would you recommend?

Would you spray the ceiling or walls if the home was currently occupied? Or do you just use the sprayer if it's an empty house with no wood floors or carpet?

Hi there! The link pop ups in your videos are not working for me. :)

I've been painting for 30 years and if I ever move to to your area I'd love to work for you.

Have you ever used a sprayer for a thin watery primer such as BIN? If so do you have any tips?

Where is the masking walls video shown towards the end in this video? I dont see it anywhere on your channel.

Hi mate, thanks for these 4 video's. Got a shit load of hoses to do which I'll be spraying. Thought I'll only finish ceilings by spray & roll the walls but now I'll spray the lot. 👍

what's the reason for the line at the end of the spray fan in this video?

I was going to paint ceiling then walls; after watching your video, I'm now strongly considering walls then ceiling. Had not thought it all the way through before watching your video to start spraying (because like I said, was planning on ceiling first). Now it makes logical sense that it would be easier to mask off the walls than the ceiling to make a clean break. Thanks!!!

Hey Chris your spray machine does it operate in fuel or in electric current?

I noticed you had tails on the edge of your spray pattern?. I thought this was a no no?. 3000 psi also seems very high can you explain why these two things are ok for the ceiling but not walls. Thanks

Brilliant, the best bit was the beginning without a shadow of a doubt cool videos mate. Wallingtonfilming, painting decorating, trade secrets England🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Awesome video. I read a Comment about you mentioning to use SW'a Sherscrub to paint a garage. I couldn't find it on their website. Where is it or would you recommend something else or a nice white finish?

About 5:30 and 5:40 I see heavy tails like the pressure is too low or the sprayer is struggling to keep up. Is this a problem or is it OK because you put so much paint on the walls?

You should show how the ceiling looks like after dries. Is this flat finish ? how does it looks with the light reflection ?

Will a 515 tip work for painting a 2500 sqft new house build.

That’s great in a house, but I have 250 unit, brand new apartment homes in fla. ceiling is one color, duck white, walls are anew gray. Trying to find the easiest way to do it. Started with ceilings first, then cut and roll walls. A bit time consuming and hard to find painters who can cut a straight line. Any ideas?

Got a dumb question probably!! Starting a new paint/ handyman biz. If just 1-2 guy outfit with all that taping to spray is that still faster then roll an brush cut in? Thanks I like your videos

The Idaho Painter one more thing sir! On a interior paint when u spray, will you spray with furniture n the rooms/house? Or is that best to just roll it on? Thanks

Do you use that same method with Popcorn Ceilings?

how can that fan be fixed?

Why didn’t you caulk with the primer and why was it ok to let the primer dry on the masking instead of removing it wet like you did with the paint

Can you spray a stomped ceiling this way?

Yup.. the speed at which you move and the distance you shoot from are all related to the size of tip orfice and fan combined with pressure from the machine. Takes a little bit to nail it down.. I'm still transitioning to a sprayer and just had a mishap in a room with some fresh start primer lol. I'm gonna need to do a little sanding and skim cost the runny areas lol. It was pretty bad. Pressure dialed way up. Was not moving fast enough and another mistake was not having ample lighting. I sprayed the ceiling. Sprayed the walls. The pulled my light up and everything looked really wet.. then about 10 minutes later I started noticing the runs haha... oh boy.. Basically the overlap shot from ceiling to wall was hit a little too much... haha. I bought some better tips FF LP with a smaller orfice and went ahead and primed the rest of the house with sprayer dialed up just enough to eliminate the tails on the sides of the spray fan and tried to move a little more. Worked out well. Lots of factors. You make it look easy in these videos haha... so really only one bad area in the house that I'll be working backwards in. Lesson learned.

I noticed there was a trail line at the end of the fan spray, what causes this? I been having problems with it,tried several tips and pressure

Dirty gun or tip or gun front end

Is it less likely that a second coat will be needed if a sprayer is used? I ask because I usually have to give at least two coats, letting it dry between coats, which would not allow me to remove masking while wet.

If you spray all walls and ceilings for new construction, how do you handle touch ups from other trades on the walls as the work on the house progresses? Spray finish will show brush or roller touch-up even in flat finishes.

I only backroll when spraying new walls. primer and paint. if it's just a repaint then no need to back roll

thumbs up.

I've been paying for a week and a half and I would always think that you would do the ceilings first and then cut in the walls and save a lot of time that way, what is your what is your opinion on that

I sprayed some ceilings in the past few months. All of them were textured and I would backroll them and they turned out awesome! What about smooth ceilings? Should I still backroll it or will it dry out good? I would think that on a smooth ceiling it would smear the sprayed paint more than anything.

You should back roll it

You spray in two directions?

What tape do you use to mask the freshly painted walls? Do you have any peeling when you remove it? Lastly, seems like you would have done the ceiling first and worked downward. Why is that? Sorry. Just trying to learn for an upcoming refurb project

Can't see the type of masking tape, probably Frog Tape. There are no solid flakes because the new paint hasn't cured. He painted the wall yellow, then masked the wall, then painted the ceiling.

Did you caulk around the masking first to prevent paint bleed onto the walls?

@EncyclopediaX

No need to caulk the tape. U dont spray directly on the edge. He did go kinna backwards though. I personally spray crown mouldings and all trim first. Next day I mask off the crown an spray the ceilings . Walls are done last with a brush and roller.

Do you back roll the ceilings? If you spray walls do you back roll those?

All walls will be the same color, all ceilings will be white. If I spray everything, should I do the walls or the ceiling first?

Before painting the sealer and topcoat on the walls make sure any spots that will have tape applied, like at the ceiling line and around doors/trim, have been sanded well and dusted with a damp rag. Especially when square stopping plaster is involved. You want no dust in that corner at all.

are you saying just in the ceilings you will see spray lines if you use a satin or would you also see them on the walls because im going to be painting my house to sell and wanted to do ceiling and walls with the same sheen to avoid taping thanks bud!

Where we are in Australia we back roll everything because of pigment flotation... If you dont and have a spray only finish the ceilings and walls cant be touched up after other trades eg electricians putting back the pot lights... doing it our way is almost as quick and any minor touch ups can be done with a tiny med roller
