Think you cannot paint? You can!

I created The Idaho Painter an alternative to to big box DIY video shows that have actors who only act like they can paint but really can barely act. My mission is to shatter the barriers of entry into painting and convince people that it can be a lot of fun painting and painting fun little projects on your own without an expensive professional painter. No experience is necessary.

I am also a painting contractor. When I'm painting doors. I like to paint the side of the door, where the hinges screw in. The hinge side I paint the outside door color, and the inside edge where the handle striker goes i paint the inside door color.

What is your PSI for your sprayer and what is your distance? Thanks.

Nice job. It got windy all of the sudden. Was that the cow from Twister @5:19? :)

DTM primer is used even on a door that’s already painted? Is this a bonding primer to just ensure adhesion to the previous paint?

[tylerdavidson]

Dude just take the door handle and deadbolt off. Then the homeowner can change the handle in the future and won’t have lines

Hey Chris. Do you replace the weather stripping with new stuff when your done?

[David-btuk]

Hi mate hope your well, was just wondering why sometimes paint the doors on and sometimes they take them off? What’s the reason is there certain doors that need to be taken off

So with the edge that was still red (the inside that you see when the door is open) do you just brush that black later on or leave it red??

Black must be a popular color in Idaho for front doors. They look surprisingly great. Here in Austin TX everyone is wanting loud crazy bright colors for the front doors. They say it looks more inviting or something. Personally I wouldnt want my front door inviting lol. Maybe I should try black for our door. Ive done all kinds of colors like school bus yellow. Safety orange. Fire truck red. And a lot of blue greens like seafoam and aquas.

What about masking th vinyl door jamb on the front . Or do you just wipe the paint. Aren't you worried about over spray on the vinyl siding

That hinge edge should be the exterior color. Door swings in. That's the edge you'll see when you open the door from the outside. Should match the exterior color no? Just my 2 cents.

be careful putting your 5 in 1 on your side pant leg pocket sticking up. my stepdad used to keep his there until he slit the top of his hand on the blade and had to get like 12 stitches. your videos are great btw.

Sprayed the first door standing up with duration with 440 and 312 tip and Rx 80 gun. Only problem was I had to clear the gun 3 or 4 times. Then sprayed the next door with Solo. Again had to clear the gun several times but I also had too much paint on the door and had to roll it right away. My question is why is the gun needing to be cleared. ( I did have to turn the pressure all the way up) Filters were new. Secondly why did the solo run? Do I need to wait 15 to 20 minutes after doing the edges and angles ? Is it the type of paint duration vs solo or am I not moving the gun fast enough. The second doors with solo were in the shade but temperatures were 90 degrees

Hey chris justin here from cleveland ohio. Is it best to spray the body then go back and do trim or vice versa.

[miketwocoat]

Do you spray your front doors first and then back mask or do you paint it last?

[carlcox]

Is that exterior paint your using a water based paint?

[clevername]

So that stones song is about you Chris?

[superchaos]

I have a door to paint that did have a nice paint job but got washed with bleach and water that faded it. If it was painted with oil based do i have to primer again or can i just give it another coat to fix it? Not sure if its latex or oil based yet.
