Thank you!

3 pieces of advice from a 30+ year pro... Wand extension, and back roll the finish. And its better to put 2 coats than to try to force one heavy coat to cover.

EXCELLENT VIDEO
I have been "Flipping" Houses for 50 Years (I am 69 years old)
I have painted Stucco Houses here in New Mexico (US) a few times... but I don't know if it is my AGE or the fact this Stucco House I'm Painting has really THICK Stucco and it is Eating up my Rollers... and their expensive... So NOW... after all these years... I feel the need for speed... I mean a Paint Sprayer...
I deserve it... LOL
Thank YOU so much for for sharing this great video

"Theres nothing more satisfying than taking everything off..and revealing the beauty". 🤣😉👍🏼

[johnschnetzler]

as a pro painter, I would have back-rolled the sprayed on paint for a more even drip and sag free finish but nonetheless, a great vid for beginners. Good job FTH!

[houdennyhoudenny]

I tell ya....I have to agree with previous comments. I've watched ALL the other vids with respect towards this product and you captured it PROFESSIONALLY.
Hands down partner!
Even your p.o.v. moves and guiding our eyes were spot on. Thank you.
You tore it up perfectly 👌

Thank you! I love real life videos. The wind added more real life! Thanks!

I sprayed a rental property from top to bottom with this same sprayer. It worked good but inside tight areas like closets were tough. I had several areas than ran (I wonder if back rolling would have solved that problem) understanding when pressure should be high vs low was huge, keeping your wrist straight for 1800 sq ft of painting was HARD, and keeping your speed consistent when the trigger is pulled wasn’t easy but overall it came out decent (had to do a second coat the next day due to missing my 50% overlap in a few areas and not back rolling. This is a good starter video!!! Thanks

Thanks for this demo FTH. I'm a lime putty plasterer who uses an electric sprayer to apply lime paint (lime wash) for all my internal and external paint jobs because not only do so when shopping in my local Lidl supermarket, near the fish and dairy in their tool section there was a Parkside airless spraying system for £120 ( $162.59) and had to have it.

I've commented on many YouTube films, to ask if it's OK for lime wash but nobody's responded back, your film is the first that's even mentioned water based paints, I like spraying, it gets to parts other beers cannot reach and is so much better than painting because you leave no brush marks or bristles and with care and consistency you cover the surface evenly and better and faster.


For internal coloured paint jobs I'll used a water based emulsion, the cheaper the better, and never use any pig fat in the final coat, there's no point because you want a breathable paint and any fat will make it non-porous.

I also noticed that you just spayed it once, and after spending so long taping and masking area's, why not add at least 2 more, it would look even better and when you asked what people thought, I think you need 2 more and you should have filled/caulked along the wall top at 7:31.
The rest of your house looks fine and there is no better feeling than coming home to your loved one and watching a good box-set in front of a log fire on a cold winters night in your own domain.

At the 800 year old Torre Abbey in Devon I worked on doing the lime putty, rough-cast finish as part of a £32 million project in about 2006 I just did the plastering, inside and out and some other contractors did the painting but inside one of the courtyards you could see the 200 year old (or older) lime paint and I counted 4 to 5 layers, this is because the old lime paint had a thickener like casein added to it up whereas with normal lime wash, if painted on too thickly it will later crack and peel off. Been working with lime since about 2001 and worked on many old castles, churches and stately homes, seen many strange things but never a ghost (that's another story) and lots of old bodge jobs by the ancients as werll as some of the most amazing things like embossed leather wallpaper.

I only work with putty mortars and plasters, no hydraulic, hydrated or cement and make my own mixes after slaking the quicklime, it's such a versatile material and helps to better protect your background walls and surfaces, acting as the sacrificial coat for the main surface as well as absorbing moisture like our breath and CO2. Another bonus is that you get better acoustics in the finished room.

Lastly with all the waste water and sludge I keep it and use it to make more mortar or paint for the next job because lime putty will keep for hundreds of years and the older it becomes, the stickier and better it gets.

Live long and prosper, all the best from a hillside in England.

I have a airless paint sprayer I bought years ago. By watching you get your sprayer to run, will guide me to get mine working again, as I have to paint fresh wood on my 24 Ft. by 24 Ft garage.

[legionlonge]

it takes more of the preping than the painting, nice vid thanks mate.

[qlku]

Thank you. My first video, she was going over the instructions..I can do that, the next guy talked for 10 minutes, the other guy painted and gave a tip, but no set up..this is what I was looking for.

72 in Colorado today! Painting House with Gnarly Airless Excellent Advice for today my friend Thanks 😊

[whatfreedom]

I’ve never used a home paint sprayer before. I borrowed one of these from a friend and had great results and was easy to use. I do feel like it wasted quite a bit of paint vs rolling but the painted was way faster. Clean up was a little messy and slow but otherwise everything went well. No issues with runs or anything. I was impressed and may buy myself one in the future.

[JK]

Thank you very much for getting back to me! Much appreciated!

[eyemary]

You did an excellent job (better than most) showing how to use this sprayer. The cleaning of the sprayer after the painting was skimmed over, and not done in great detail. I will still have to watch other videos to fill confident enough to use the sprayer.

[bernsfindsandmore]

Mine has been sitting new in the box in my garage. You got me amped to get to get it going and finally doing my house as well.

[Theyralltakenfu]

Thanks, I have this sprayer and haven't used it yet, but watching your video, it seems that most of what you have to do right is, prep work.

I also bought a hardwood dolly and I’m going to build a stand for the sprayer unit and a 5 gallon bucket so I can pull it along as I spray large rooms. Dolly is 18x30 inches and I figured I make it so I can place a one gallon bucket of paint or 5 gallons on the cart to provide stability and I’ll have storage under the spray unit for hoses and supplies.
