Years ago we used to put our metal paint kettles in very hot water, the gloss paint would naturally thin down with the heat rather than adding thinners, this would maintain the high gloss as thinning with white spirit reduces the gloss the more you add. Hope this helps.
Spot on pal ! We used to put tins on radiators with heating full blast for half hour open windows give it 15mins then blast doors/ frames & skirts with mini roller and lay off or use one of those slow cooker types pots to warm gloss up! No turps needed & like you say doesn't loose any sheen!
In 25 years of decorating, I've never worked for a firm or a developer that would allow that kind of finish on a door. Not saying there aren't any or you're not allowed to, but I've never come across it and I've seen people sent on their way for producing that kind of finish. If you put a neat undercoat on and lay that off with a brush, you can roll your gloss with a decent roller and the gloss will find its levels over the previous brush lines making it look like a brush finish. This just looks like he's gone at it with a roller start to finish. Not for me that one.
Owatrol Oil is what he has added (don't tell any other painters , I used this on new build for many years makes everything high gloss ) you can load the paint on gives mirror like finish
Sanity at last , everyone else trying to work out what he's used and getting it wrong. Owatrol without a doubt . If he had laid it off though it would have left a superb finish.
@@colinskehan 1 or 2 caps per 500ml I found works well, splash or white spirits.... it'll be like glass once your done if you may it off. Spraying with a 1.5mm tip would give a car like finish.
As a former Painter/Decorator, I used to apply 2 full coats of undercoat and gloss straight from the tin, without thinning down; then I would lay off with a brush to a high gloss finish.
Candle man! Would it be possible for you to have a clip on microphone for sound, most of your time is spent in empty echo bouncing rooms on site, and at times difficult to understand what you are saying I am one of your biggest fans and have learnt such a lot from your professional advice, Love the videos.
Neat treacle straight out the tin, fully rolled , with no sign of brush marks but every sign of an overloaded deep pile roller 😂 , I wonder if he rolled the original hinges too and they had to replace them!? 😂 ...another thing that made me laugh was how surprised matey sounded about the sheen on the gloss ....how much white spirit/ turns do you use in yours to flatten the sheen off so much that you're actually surprised how good the gloss can look when the product isn't thinned down ?? 🤣😄🙈
I’d say 2coats of gloss ,and both your doors and his have more orange Pell than an citrus orchard,try 2 thin coats of gloss with a good flat sand between coats ,then you’ll see a real glossy door
I used to fabricate Paving Equipment (in metal), when we painted the equipment we used a brush and paint straight from the tin without thinning, when the 1st coat was still tacky we give it a 2nd coat, this give it a Thick Ultra Shiney Plastic Look. Maybe 2 coats is on the doors and frames too
Before you said sprayed it this was exactly what I was thinking a rub down and primer rub again smooth and spray as I have never been that good with painting gloss I was having this idea myself only of course removing the hinges and taking it somewhere like a garage to do it in sounds like a lot of extra effort just to get with it and paint it
Microfiber finish for sure...rolled one door ..rolled second door..and then back rolled first door and so on..house bashing brother of the brush from Ireland
I dont see how that would work. Lets say after u roll the first door and come back to it in say 2 to 3 minutes later your roller is just going to pull the drying paint off the door and make a mess of it
White spirit always to thin down any oil based. Just makes for better flow, never dulls the paint finish. How the fuck can you gloss a flush door with neat gloss. 🙈
Your video production is very impressive. Doors look like a neat gloss no thinning shine . Probably been while since you used un thinned gloss you forgotten how glossy it can look . Keep up your good work paint n.videos . .
Looks 100% roller with something like Owatrol Oil added to it and laid off badly or maybe not ab all. I done a kitchen unit door in Tikkurila | Miranol gloss warmed up and using a small amount of Owatrol Oil and a cap of white spirits, it was like car paint once dry, like it was brand new, not a roller or brush mark, took 24 to dry tho!. That door has huge amounts of roller stipple, I wouldn't say its a nice gloss like that TBH, but the doors come pre coated with wood grain, would have to fill those and re sand before painting.
Linseed oil and no thinners is my guess but it takes a good while to dry which causes dust problems in new builds. I would have laid off with a three inch brush for an incredible finish and would have only added 5 minutes extra time a door. I know time is money i house bash for a living myself, but it would only work out an extra hour on the plot and would have been a legendary finish. I am afraid as good as my glossing is theres always plenty of thinners used. Site agents seem happy though.
There like my gloss work i don't use white sprits haven't used in years i use Owattol oil most painters in Ireland use it when glossing having seen any english painters use it ,But looks like Owattol oil in his gloss ,its alot slower than white sprits but brilliant finish
@@orbitalforest yes sure is pal, I'm sure there's alot of experience English painters know about it and use it. I'm living in the UK 4 years from Ireland and having seen anyone else use it or even heard about it bud, in Ireland most painters use it for years now, but yiyr dead right brilliant product
How come these doors haven't been laid of with a brush? On the sites we've been on, those doors would get pulled up straight away for the heavy stipple. On the high gloss finish. Perhaps they were using Dulux high gloss and double coating them? By personal experience, you don't seem to get much of a shine with Crown gloss.
I always use a micro fiber 4" roller and use a fine bristle brush to brush the lines/ Orange peel affect out to give you a great glass finish give it ago.
That’s definitely full bore gloss straight out the can with a long pile roller the doors are a bit too orange peely for my personal liking but definitely a cracking high gloss finish all the same,keep us posted all the same candleman if you find out how he did it👍🏻 Cheers bro take care😜
Oil based paint all layed off correctly and wet sanded in between coats using wet or dry sandpaper. Also using a tack rag after sanding before applying coats.
A really good undercoat , hardly any thinners then a coat of neat gloss , how long did it take him , not thinning the gloss means it will take longer .The stipple does spoil the door , pity he didn’t lay it off , it would be like glass.
Purdy do a ultra smooth finish roller it’s in a green highlighted packet they give outstanding finish but have a real deep pile mate you got to get on um there that good you can leave it in roller finish best sleeve I’ve ever used
Looks like he`s rolled em in with a sponge roller with neat gloss and said,"bollocks to laying off..That shit is too thick.. It`ll drag like F@##"! Can`t beat a nice orange peel eh! Frames,architraves,skirting etc?? Mine always looked that good but that was down to the Crown solo.
Amazing intro and film presentation. F.. knows. Probably put two coats on or just used it thicker and heating so they set off fast. Orange peel pretty prominent tho. Can you find out and let us know. ;-)
i don't agree its not a lovely finish its got orange peel all over it, that needs laying off with a brush in my opinion - sometimes the undercoat can go a long way in helping out the gloss finish so my guess is he's using a different u/c
is all that pitting on them doors good? / normal? iv just glossed my door and it looks like the door you showed 3.26 which you said look great but my doors look like that and i think its terrible i expection a totally smooth finish or is that expecting to much?
Two coats of non-drip Or Undercoat 1/2 n1/2 with a very fluffy roller. Suprised it never ran or looked as if it had run behind the coat (you'll know if you're a painter)
I'd say he rolled that on neat with a sponge roller and not laid them off thay maybe even 2 coats definitely should of laid them off they would of been mint
I have a door that is already painted high gloss. I repaired the a small hole and need to paint small area. The problem is I’m not able to touch up the original paint because of the high gloss. I’m using the same exact paint but once I land a brush on the door, it leave brush streak marks. How can I avoid that without painting the entire door?? Thank you .
adding thinners spirits is stupid . Then we have gloss doors.....so fucking albanian disco finish. Eggshell is far classier . Anyway, PREP PREP PREP and use a good tack cloth , and sand down between coats with some super fine paper ONLY in the direction of the "grain ". Use micro fibre rollers . The only thing you should add is floetrol products
Maybe he used Owatrol oil in the gloss ? I use it instead of white spirit ,it thins and conditions the paint just right , gives a lovely finish and goes on much better, less runs , sags etc. They look like they should have been laid off though , bit too much orange peel.
I'm on day 4 of.my kitchen and I've been using semigloss white paint.. this is what I've been trying too achieve, can anyone tell me what I can put over my semigloss white paint to make it this shiny??
