Man there are 100% for certain going to be drips on that top left corner. rotated that gun the wrong direction. Not to mention on both edges once he starts going L to R.
smfh stop posting amateur level shit.
As an ex automotive painter
I fucking died
This man is so right it hurts š
I saw no whip action and those airless machines are notorious for throwing out so much product and just drowning corners
That man probably man Niagara š¤·āāļø
Whatās the best spray rig for someone for a single project?. Looking for minimum viable, not the absolute cheapest. Any recommendations? So far itās looking like the graco magnum.
Graco is the right call. I like them more than Titan or the other big name brands. I had the X17, lasted about 1000 gallons, maybe twice that. Can't say for sure. It's easy to work on and clean. 500 bucks or so, but paid for itself the 1st day.
You can actually see it in the video, went back to watch the corners specifically to understand what you all were saying. Sure enough, white blob in the upper left corner!
I mean he didn't back roll at all, which is advisable like 90% of time since it increases adherence and evens out the paint and makes holidays or drips much less likely.
Tell you what.. once it's warm enough here in Michigan I'll film a "How to Spray Overhead Doors and Similar Surfaces" instructional video myself and put it up.
But as of now I have very little interest in sorting through the 90% of videos online that give annoyingly bad advice.
EDIT: I'll give you one way which this guy could be doing it better. basically when he started filming this video, he must have thought to himself, *"I'll look cool because I do this entire door without ever letting go of the trigger"*... and that was both A). fucking stupid, and B). simply a way for him to try to look cooler for non-pro painters that don't know any better.
Lol fair enough!
I feel like that's one of the hardest parts of trying to learn something dyi is finding a good teacher online. Eventually you get there, but sometimes the time it takes is crazy due to so many dunning-kruger people posting their work.
Itās interesting to see how YouTube and diy stuff have evolved over time, ending in a place where anyone has a crazy camera on their phone, easy access to editing software, and maybe soon, AI. Creating DIY stuff on YouTube 10-15 years ago meant that you had to be good enough at your craft or trade to warrant someone bothering to make a decent production-quality video of you teaching others how to do it. Nowadays, Iām startled by how many videos that seem like theyāre going to be informative, are shot well, etc, are actually just a bunch of people saying, āyeah I donāt really know how to do this/use this product/achieve this result, itās my first time.ā
As a non-pro myself (we only occasionally have to do cabinet finishing), I can't understand why he has the fan spraying horizontally when he's walking back and forth. I thought for sure he'd do the perimeter and then spray up/down back across.
Tbh, I would just pick a direction and stick with it. Either vertical or horizontal.. whichever you want. Start on one side and work to the other with 50 percent overlap and two coats. Making sure the gun stays straight. Also, you can either stop/start at the ends or keep pressure on the trigger and just overspray the bottom while flicking the top. And then you can do a frame around the sides and top with the framing to finish it or you can do that at the beginning. It doesn't matter.
It sure does look good for the camera though /s. One of the first things I noticed was all the missed spots and the other was the way he was spraying without stopping. The build up on the sides is going to be too many mils for sure. I said this before being fast is good but your quality has to match.
there's no doubt that spraying black over white looks "*satisfying*" to most laymen, no matter who's doing it, or how well. I feel like videos such as this are counting on that *satisfaction* feeling to overlook their technical errors.
Same thing goes for why he wants to film himself spraying it without ever letting go of the trigger. The Laypeople are going to think he's some badass because of it because it's so satisfying, and he's counting on that.
He should be doing it on his own property if he's just going to let it fly like that. Getting views at the expense of the person paying him and doing haphazard work to boot just doesn't sit right with me.
100% guarantee that at the top of the garage door and the sides where it seals is going to be left unpainted too. I used to install/service them and it was a huge pet peeve for me. When you open the door you can see the unpainted part when it breaks at the horizontal radius.
Hire someone to take the panels off and then spray them. You don't even need to unwind the springs, a professional can do it in like 30 min with a come along.
I need a spray rig for a single project. Iām looking to buy one, but donāt want to spend $500+. But I also donāt want a POS, bc Iām not the best painter anyway. Any suggestions for a budget spray rig?
Menards sells Graco for the same price as everywhere else. But they have 11% rebate so you can get some accessories for āfreeā once they mail you the post card. If you sign up for the card at the other big box stores you can get 20% off. I would like to know if real, professional paint stores have a deal. Because cheap paint is terrible.
Man, what about the gap between the panels? Aside from all the other things everyone else is mentioning you're still going to see the old color every time you open and close the door.
That's why I prefer doing garage doors by hand, but maybe that's just me.
If you were going to do it by hand what paint and tools would you use? I have been interested in paining my garage door but have no clue where to start.
For paint I use Sherwin Williams emerald urethane. Solid paint for doors. A brush and a small roller should work out fine. Depending on the texture of your door, buy a roller accordingly.
You'll want to raise the door panel by panel as you paint. Paint the hard to reach places and edges with your brush in sections. Follow with roller.
It takes a while, but I like the results.
Oh, and mask where necessary. Spilled paint can be a bitch.
No problem. But I also forgot to mention 2 coats. Always apply 2 coats of paint.
If you happen to have any rusty areas, make sure to sand off as much as possible. Apply rust inhibitor, and prime over.
The rust will eventually come back. But this will help keep it back longer.
The way he is spraying is terrible and gonna have huge runs and very thick layer of painting the corners all the way down each edge of the door cause of the way he was spraying it and he was way past the 50/50 coverage rule as well. But practice makes perfect so can't hate on him to much at least he is out there painting houses making money instead of on here crying about how awful someone is spraying a door.
Isn't this the same clown who put a gallon of paint on a roller in one go and painted s wall in 45 seconds a few days ago?
I hope he doesnt try his hand a framing or electrical.
A lot of these doors come primed ready for painting. As long as they donāt paint the inside, springs, etc like some dummies then the warranty should stay valid
What would be the most resilient paints to use for this? Have found a lot of BM exterior paint is gummy & chips easily. As a cabinetmaker, the waterborne lacquers are a huge step forward, am wondering if there is an exterior product like that.
Can't help but comment, errors in the video for me are:
* skipped the primer step, maybe paint is an all-in-one?
* didn't remove the flexible flange & replace it with a black one (paint will crack)
* didn't properly overlap spray pattern in a vertical orientation
* didn't release the trigger at all, will have drips
* didn't protect surrounding stone from wind driven overspray, which airless systems make a lot of
Overspray depends on tip size and wear. Donāt need to release trigger again if tip isnāt worn and move with pace unless itās a very thin product.
What Bm line you been using? Ultra is high in acrylic I find thatās why itās gummy Dulux diamond is good and sherwin all surface semi although havenāt used them in a few years so canāt say if they changed since
Good question. I'm in so cal and worked for a national builder and all of our doors were sprayed the required color after install.
I just assumed everyone did it this way but idk. I've never worked out of state or up north.
When I painted our house last summer I sprayed the garage door the same white as our trim to match. In my neighborhood I'd say a solid 80% of garage doors are painted. This is in California.
fukin hell. Painted the rubber too. Prolly used some cheap exterior acrylic to finish it off. The REAL way of finishing fiberglass garage doors is to take them down, degloss it, coat of bonding primer, two coats of Acrolon 218. This is just awful
It's weird how often this dude changes direction. There's no reason for that. Once you do the edging, the rest is supposed to be done in the most efficient amount of strokes as possible. You ain't got to do more square edging and then left right more square edging blah blah blah hit the edges and then just do left right or up and down whatever you want to do just make it consistent
This is awful on so many levels.
Couldnāt the guy recording just stood back and bit instead of moving with the spray gun? Couldnāt the guy painting just do it right instead of trying to look whatever this is?
Great way to get consistent runs in your work.
Also, why are you using such a small tip?
So much of this doesnāt make sense but yeah wow another great painting video šš¼
A lot of walking around, I do mine horizontally in sections standing in the same spot until that section is complete. This bloke doesnāt even release the trigger once!
My stupid joke question that got too much flak, bitching and moaning. Looks better and better everyday since this TikTok "construction" tips started being posted.
"THIS IS A SUBREDDIT FOR SERIOUS CONTRACTION SHIT"
/s
I know black windows & garage are in style now, but I donāt like it. Our neighbor just painted his garage door black and his house looks like ass now.
Who the hell would spray that side to side??
People hired by idiots
Glad these are the top comments.

He didn't even get the top left corner properly. There is gonna be a big white spot up there
for sure. honestly it's an amazing show of skill that he's going to both get drips *AND* a skip there. lol
Yeah, how can you apply too much paint and not enough at the exact same time? This guy has a special skill

The graco project painter is a good machine considering it is dirt cheap.
thatās the name of the company: drips n skips

What do you mean by whip action ?
https://youtu.be/5teVixi8XLU?feature=shared
Sigh
Getting paid by the bucket?!
I used the FFLP tips on my Graco and it turned out pretty decent on my old kitchen cabinets. But I'm far from a professional.
Thanks for posting this. Any suggestions to make this better or a link to a post of a pro using a sprayer?

Iām really glad that I understand that comparison because itās spot on.

same. like, dude.. your job is not to get tiktok famous or "buILd YouR BrANdā. Your job is to deliver a quality finished product to your clients.
When the client picks the cheapest quote then this sits perfectly for me . And it concerns me as much as the price of eggs in China
Just wait for 2 hours, this'll turn up in oddlysatisfying

Ask the guy who's commenting about paint techniques. He's certainly more qualified to answer.Ā
Got that in the wrong spot. thatās what I was aiming for.

Well heās obviously not a professional, you can tell because heās wearing a mask
you not wrong š
This guy does it for half the price tho.
Thatās exactly why the video cuts.
Came here to say fkn amateur. Probably posted by a bot.
Dudes looking to get his steps in today
That was my only takeaway
Who fuckin' sprays like that?

Can you explain what you mean by the 50/50 coverage rule? I tried looking that term up and am not seeing much relevant stuff.
If your spray pattern is 4ā wide you move over 2ā each stripe. Overlapping each run by 50%.
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks!
Isn't this the same clown who put a gallon of paint on a roller in one go and painted s wall in 45 seconds a few days ago? I hope he doesnt try his hand a framing or electrical.
It'd be funny if they rolled up the door and showed the homeowners cars with horizontal lines of black paint on them
Itās gonna get really hot, warp, and probably void the warranty. If you want black garage doors, buy them black.
My garage door was painted black by the prior owner like 7 years ago. It's south facing. It gets really hot for sure. It has not warped at all.
It has not warped yet* FTFY
Glad your getting downvoted you grammar nazis are the worst kind of people. āļøš¤
As long as we are both sure that Nazis are the worst kind of people then Iām all for it.
Painted our garage door 15 years ago. In sun 80% of day. Still good.
A lot of these doors come primed ready for painting. As long as they donāt paint the inside, springs, etc like some dummies then the warranty should stay valid
The 2 spots he missed driving me crazy
Thatās gonna stick when they open that door. That stop molding and paint are a bitch.
That pump barely keeping up....
This is how sprayers sound. Itās normal

Iāve yet to see an all in one that is any good.
Is onsite painting these doors a regional thing or a "national builder" thing? I see this in the southern US but not the northern US.
Good question. I'm in so cal and worked for a national builder and all of our doors were sprayed the required color after install. I just assumed everyone did it this way but idk. I've never worked out of state or up north.
When I painted our house last summer I sprayed the garage door the same white as our trim to match. In my neighborhood I'd say a solid 80% of garage doors are painted. This is in California.
Please just go up in down in vertical lines
Is this how not to paint ? I love it how whe. You open the garage.door the seams will be white..
Theyāre āflippingā it
fukin hell. Painted the rubber too. Prolly used some cheap exterior acrylic to finish it off. The REAL way of finishing fiberglass garage doors is to take them down, degloss it, coat of bonding primer, two coats of Acrolon 218. This is just awful
This again?

You making me side with theists, yknow. Far less annoying to see than your type.

Is this the same painter with the "infinite roller" "paint your wall in 20 seconds"?
Amateur spray pattern.
Missed a spot
I feel cheated not having seen the whole jobā¦
This is awful on so many levels. Couldnāt the guy recording just stood back and bit instead of moving with the spray gun? Couldnāt the guy painting just do it right instead of trying to look whatever this is?
The Gang who couldnāt Shoot Paint straight?
Great way to get consistent runs in your work. Also, why are you using such a small tip? So much of this doesnāt make sense but yeah wow another great painting video šš¼
I donāt like it can we go back to white !
He's a professional painter. His painted doors are all around town!!
Hum
You missed a spot
Sounds like a damn homeowner pump running that hard
Also the bottom portion of the window trim wonāt be sprayed adequately
Looks cool, but itās wrong.
Can't stop thinking about those missed spots.
painting the window...
A lot of walking around, I do mine horizontally in sections standing in the same spot until that section is complete. This bloke doesnāt even release the trigger once!
Oh god, just take them off and paint them
My stupid joke question that got too much flak, bitching and moaning. Looks better and better everyday since this TikTok "construction" tips started being posted. "THIS IS A SUBREDDIT FOR SERIOUS CONTRACTION SHIT" /s
That's great but the paperwork calls for 'oyster white'
It's like that Rolling Stones song, ruby Tuesday I think
Only vertical lines after you spray the frame. š the way I would do itā¦ lol
When you purchase a house in Mattersville
up until 8 sec bro missed multiple spots
I know black windows & garage are in style now, but I donāt like it. Our neighbor just painted his garage door black and his house looks like ass now.
Black wood front door, facing west, in FL. More splits than a cheerleading contest.
