Hey Sarah! I’m glad I could help. So far it has been a great sprayer. Good luck with your business!

Sprayed for a few years love your spray roller technique. Going to try, all new construction. ❤

@robertc.6441 Год назад

Very informative! Straight to the point, with great step by step instructions. I also agree that unless you are going to be doing alot of painting the roller and cutting brush process is the more budget friendly way to go and will get it done! Don't forget the plastic and frog tape! Ribbit Ribbit!

@ckuiper7332 2 года назад

Awesome video (as always!) -- I can see how spraying a ceiling is a lot quicker with less steps. With my particular applications (mostly re-paint and not new construction) I can't go there as mush as I'd like! I completely agree on the two coats plus primer - "it's never a crime to prime!" - and two primer coats never hurts, especially with a once over sanding between! which by far makes the end result awesome! compared to: 'ok - it's done.' In rolling, namely with the 9" rollers, I've always painted two directions - perpendicular to each other while "feathering to carry the wet line." The larger roller and tray is certainly the way to go! Regardless, it's a challenge on the larger open areas of higher ceilings with higher temperatures and faster dry times at the ceiling level; so yeah two coats are always a must. We can also see it's also very true with the "paint toward the light" direction you provided here. Oh Yeah - and the back roll suggestion after spraying is extremely insightful with respect to any further required work -- Si Muy Bueno Mystro!!! 😎

@TheExcellentLaborer 2 года назад

"it's never a crime to prime!" I love this! Yes back rolling takes more time but a much better job is achieved. Sounds like you have a lot of experience with painting. Your input is always welcomed and appreciated. Thanks C Kuiper!

Flat paint is very forgiving when it comes to flashing. When we use anything with a gloss on a ceiling we roll from one end to the other. I like to have my roller loaded up with paint before I start rolling. I started out using a 9 inch roller years ago, and still do. You can use a small 4 inch roller instead of a brush for the edges if you want. We would thin our paint a little if it covered good with one coat! I've painted for over 35 years, and thinning really helps with heavy textured walls, and ceilings. Nice job! I wish I was there to help! LOL

@TheExcellentLaborer 2 года назад

Sounds like you have a lot of experience David! Yeah nothing wrong with using a 9 inch roller. Whatever works for you is what works! Thanks a lot for watching!

@davidregan9872 2 года назад

@@TheExcellentLaborer Thanks for the reply! I really wish we had them years ago. It would of saved a lot of time, and time is money! They are a pain to clean though! My old boss who died last year used to say, " Put it on heavy! Paint is cheap!" A few years later he told me, "Paint is expensive!" LOL

@brianransom4778 4 месяца назад

Questions! I have a whole new build house (mine) to prime and paint. With the primer, is there any need to back roll since there will be finish coats? Is there a reason to back roll the first finish coat or can I save time and only back roll the second finish coat?

@Mowers11 2 года назад

If you use S-W CHB ceiling paint you do not have to back roll the ceiling. Also that tip can leave tracks. Use a green fflp 616 and you are good to go. Done 2-3 hundred this way last 4 years. That ceiling wold be 19 minutes this way.

@AlexKunstar 2 года назад

I stopped back rolling ceilings years ago as well, completely unnecessary with good paint and proper technique and the right tip. CHB sprays nice, and eminence sprays even nicer (and a brighter white). The 616fflp tip is great, even use my 514fflp and 516fflp at times, just depends on which one is cleaner lol. I've knocked out massive 8car garages with 14' ceilings+walls with that setup in 2-3 hours before, from bare drywall to flawless double sprayed nice and heavy. Looked absolutely perfect from every angle.

@TheExcellentLaborer 2 года назад

Very interesting. I’ll have to give it a shot on the next house. I appreciate you watching Brian!

@ricosrealm 8 месяцев назад

Perfect. I've done a a few ceilings and got a green 617 tip to spray with low pressure and less overspray. When I sprayed a quality sealer (acrylic resin, not pva) on as a first coat, I noticed my next coats were very smooth... not using a good sealer caused the primer/paint to look uneven as well.

@christophermaguregui5736 2 месяца назад

Hello would you still back roll a popcorn ceiling after spraying it and I’m assuming you put paint on the roll?

@jasonhutchinson3797 Год назад

Hey There. I know this is for the purposes of presentation but would you still be moving at a pace where you'd be aiming for keeping wet edges?

@TheExcellentLaborer Год назад

Yes keeping the edge wet is important. Hope that helps!

@seanmiller7298 Год назад

ive sprayed and rolled on a sante fe knock down. Sprayed a ceiling and all walls...no roller at all. amazing coverage. Roller alone actually left more small spots that paint didnt get into. Spray was best 100% Also did cieiling with no cutting. overlap onto walls. The tape with paper the ceiling edge. Work down. Very easy and half the time of rolling

@allendelisle8145 2 года назад

Now after you sprayed that ceiling are you also spraying the walls or rolling it if it's the same color????

@TheExcellentLaborer 2 года назад

I always do the walls and ceiling separate. I’ll always start out at the ceiling and do the wall second. Hope that helps!

Do I prime the ceiling first before painting?

@janser305 Год назад

what if there are two windows and a sliding glass door where sunlight enters all of them?

@jaeayala8616 2 года назад

I use a 4 foot extension pole with a swivel and a 625 tip. 515s are used for trim for smooth finish, but I do production work. Back rolling should not be necessary spraying ceilings though to prevent from having roll marks. Cris cross your sprayed ceilings and fog more than actually spraying it at close range.

@terrythomas790 2 года назад

Do you to use more paint spraying vs rolling?

@TheExcellentLaborer 2 года назад

I would say spraying uses more. I hope helps!

@ricosrealm 8 месяцев назад

they can be equal, but you end up losing more when you have to clean the sprayer or if you calibrate the sprayer higher than needed.

@ben3462 2 года назад

What if theres windows on 2 sides of house 🤔🤷‍♂️

@shevinsacrey5862 2 года назад

If you know you will be painting the walls, something you can do is mask around the perimeter of the wall where it meets the ceiling with the paper on your masker, or use the plastic sheeting if you want to completely cover the walls, up to you. And then you can use a regular roller to cut in, just shove it right into the corner and make sure the paint gets right in there. Saves you from having to go around with the brush. If I were doing a room like this that's what I would do. If you're back rolling I don't really see the point of using the sprayer, unless maybe you had two guys, one spraying and one back rolling. If it's just you then why spray and back roll. Just roll it.

@asphyxiator5247 2 года назад

Use a mini roller:whiz roller for perimeter cut ins. You risk damaging the wall with the end of the cage running it the way you suggested. Most of the time you’re fine but why risk it when a whiz roller is faster than trying to ensure the 9” gets the angle

@shevinsacrey5862 2 года назад

@@asphyxiator5247 I meant to add that, use the whiz roller if you want as well. I've never had a problem with it though, I've never damaged any walls and I've done hundreds, you don't have to press it that hard to get in there. Plus you avoid having to use two separate containers and clean both. Nothing wrong with the whiz though. I've done it before it just takes a bit more time. Also if there is areas where the 9 doesn't fit I'll use it.

@antennawilde Год назад

No concern on back-brushing the corners? Not in love with the idea of spraying without back-brushing, at least for the first coat. Man, you need another guy. I hate having to put the sprayer down and pick up the roller all the time, so much faster with two people. Also if you spray the ceilings thick and make sure the back-rolling evens things out, you can get away with one coat.
