SPRAY A HOUSE WITH ME! PAINT SPRAYING TIPS & TRICKS

Paint an exterior of this home with me!

I’ll take you through my paint spraying process, from machine setup to laying down two coats on these FC weatherboards. I swear by spray, it doesn’t matter if it is windy, or too small of a job, it can always be sprayed.

This is how I achieved a beautiful, seamless finish on the exterior of this home. I cover how to adjust your Graco CleanShot Shut-Off Valve and more importantly, how I dial in and choose the right spray tip size when spraying these exteriors. Spray pressure is so dependant on so many different factors, such as thickness of the paint, dry time, temperature on the day, length of hose, the size and power of your airless sprayer, and lastly the tip size to achieve the right amount of film build on the surface you’re spraying.

Follow along, let me know if you have any questions in the comments below. I’ve included the gear used in this video. As always, much love for all the support this awesome YouTube family throws my way; it means a tonne to myself and the fam.

hi josh a question ..how do you get the paper or plastic to cover or keep in the top of gutter ? is it just the tape from paper roller or another method .. i struggle getting the paper taping up to adhere to inside top gutter...??? or do you stick it only to very top of gutter ? i cant see the tape on the gutter tops .. on roof appreciate your tip

[stevenmcfarlane]

Hey Josh watched lots of your videos. Very good, informative and enjoyable. Do you rate owning an AAA rig ?. How often you use it over an airless unit and an HVLP ? Cheers from Glasgow Scotland

[PaulJacksonOttawa]

That was great video. I watch all your videos,
all the way through. Usually when I’m cleaning my sprayer after painting all day (fuck’d eh? 🇨🇦) and don’t ever comment and thank you, but I should. So here goes. Thank you for sharing all you do. The experience based knowledge and your way way of talking taking about what a professional painter really gives a fuck about, is awesome. Professional development at its finest and for someone who’s working all day painting and running a business, etc. this videos are gems. What I learn from watching your videos I use on my jobs on daily. Seriously. From masking everything like a crazy person (based on your video) to adding ti all my estimates “I sand before and between coats, ” to buying a #gracoquickshot a couple weeks ago based 100% on your videos and your enthusiastic endorsement. Your videos are full of gems, a great example at 4m 12s in this video. This is the stuff that UNBELIEVABLY VALUABLE. There everywhere and this is just one. That’s enough. Thank you Jacob. Seriously, thanks a lot Man and please keep the videos coming 👍

Josh do you find the clean shot on a gun extension heavy, or am I just getting old

[isabellaurel]

Does someone know how to fix a patchy paint job?
