MASKING the Exterior of a House With The Idaho Painter 

Happy 4th of July. So what is everyone doing on this day?

Hey just wanted to say your a really good teacher, and I really appreciate that you don't spare expense in showing us different ways of doing each task when you could just show one way. Thank you for all your time and hard work. God bless you and your family brother!

You and David Odell concrete are the best, most entertaining, thorough, and informative trades guys out there on yt, there are also a lot of good automotive repair channels

I’ve learned more from you than any college class I’ve taken! Thanks you so much! If it wasn’t for your videos I wouldn’t be where I’m at now, I’ve kept a steady two months out for the past few years and employed a couple couple people due to regurgitating your advice, thanks!

I feel my skill level (or is it confidence) grow just watching you. Many thanks from CA

I've been following your channel for over 8 yrs and thanks you really are the best and you're helping to create great painters around the world and might not know it.

I Love your videos, I feel like I'm at Paint Life School. Learning so much taking notes painting my house on my own and you are taking out the stress factor for me. Thank You!! Catskills, NY

From Texas... I've recently begun painting furniture for multiple designers. I have learned so much from you. thank you.

Thanks from Montreal for this video specifically! There aren't many good videos on RU-vid which talk about masking/taping/prep.

Man, i learn so much from you! Please continue to knowledge us!!! Thank you so much

I am so excited another exterior video... this has made my weekend time for the popcorn

one thing about you chris you ain’t afraid of tackling big jobs by yourself, I remember those days, looks good cuz

Excellent teaching vid. Am doing my entire house, 2000' myself and didn't think of a lot of things you brought to light. Thank you!!! After the exterior is finished….on to the inside. Fun, Fun!!!

The work is in the prep. Awesome video, love your content Chris!!!

Awesome tutorial... Really appreciate you sharing this great information. Definitely getting that hand maker and other supplies.

Your're the best! Just hired painters and they are the opposite of you - overspray everywhere! destroyed screens everywhere. They need to watch your videos.

You should do a video on paints. Great Work. This information is years of hard work and trial and error. This is truly were you shine.

I love your videos! You are genius in masking, painting, talking, explaining - painting guru! So many details and tips! It shows that you love what you do! I feel inspired so will do scraping and caulking today. Already god some of your tools and love them. Your great sense of humor and positive attitude helps! Please keep making more videos! From Russia 🇷🇺with Love!

Everytime he says "paint block technology" take a drink.

Absolutely amazing! I've been following your channel since I first started painting! Honolulu, HI 🤙🏽

you sold me on the titan 410 and loving it dude .You rock

Been in the trade for many years Ave have my company. Truly enjoy your videos.

Been watching your videos for days now. So glad I have, we usually shield from windows but seems like masking will make things go way quicker.

Out of all the trades I’ve done in my 27 years of age, painting was by far the one that was the most pain In the ass for me, to many little details u gotta do, easy and cheaper trade to get into but definitely not for me anymore, I run a concrete business now, more physical work but a lot less headaches

Great video. Thanx for taking the time to show how to mask.

im going to paint my interior and exterior of my home this summer. i am going to learn everything from you. I bought a Graco X17 from Home Depot. I will buy everything else from you as I get going to try to say thank you for the education. I really appreciate you sir

Thanks for another excellent video. I am gonna make tomorrow. After I get him from work today I am gonna power wash our house and then mask tomorrow and start painting Saturday. Hopefully we can finish the house this weekend. I am excited but scared too. I wouldn’t have had the confidence without your help.

Sometimes I hear "tape is expensive and we want to save money" but then i see him overtape almost everything lol Just a little funny to me but I am learning a ton by watching this guy. Thank you.

Love these videos they really helped me prep my house to paint, learned all the techniques of a painter very cool! Thank you!

I used to hold the masking tape in my mouth to until I noticed my bite marks leave little dips and valleys along the edge of the tape, so it would'nt be as a clear straight line anymore. Then I held it just with lips, but no pressure with teeth, but feel self conscious about ppl looking and wondering "is that painter chewing on tape?" I thinks a brilliant idea for those with small wrists or little hands to hold it on the wrist like a bracelet. I bought the super gaff from your store, which looks really cool and works just as good. I was surprised you didn't use it on a masking video, as I seen you wear the super gaff in other videos. I appreciate your videos, and my dad and I refer to your videos for training. Newman, California.

Thank you for your time. Thank you for educating those who are trying to do DIY. God Bless YOU!

I like masking how you masked in between the garage doors. It’s fast and the cardboard shield way also

You are a great teacher! Have learnt tons from your videos!! Thank you!

There will always be people who are more than happy to critique others,but don't do their own videos. Why? It's easy to point out other people's flaws,but they can't handle being on the recieving end. Your videos teach alot. They help alot of people who are intimidated by stuff like this & need encouragement. I say good work.

Love your advice. Canadian beer and painting! What a combo

Hallo from NZ well explained thanks for making our job easy 💯❤️

What a professional you are. So efficient! Wish you were my neighbor. Thank you. Last time I painted my stucco house here in Ocoee, Fl. I duct taped a tile trowel to the center of a 2 ft. by 4 ft. 1/4 inch (very thin) piece of plywood as a spray shield for my windows. It was light, well balanced and easy to move into place. worked super good, However, I did not use a gun extension like you do, so I imagine it wouldn't work as good for you. cheers!

Hi Chris, shout out from the UK. Just found your channel today and loving it. Subscribed already. Thanks for the great content.

He holds the tape in his mouth. Endearing. lol. I did a SMASH UP job on my daughters room, thanks to what he and Josh have taught me. I'm buying that masker to make shorter work of the masking next time. THanks yall!

Awesome video learned how to tape much easier n faster ...thanks for all the shortcuts....

Excellent video! I learned a lot and feel better about DIY'ing our house. So many ways to mask a window!

Denver , co, Awesome videos. Really got me ready to start my first house Tomorrow.

I just nailed my first exterior painting gig. Super excited to watch these videos and learn from a pro. Thanks and keep em coming!!!

I'm looking to open a business next year I find your videos extremely helpful.

You knocked off the rock in the wall. You got too much muscles!😊

Hi from New Zealand I love watching your videos learning a lot thanks Grant

Brand new diy painter. This was SUPER informative. Excellent teacher, yo! Thanks much.

Love your details and your instructional time. Thanks so much !

Love the videos mate very educational 👌🏼 keep up the good work

Great to see painting skills shared, your a beast. Would love to paint beside you sometime. . . bit more prep, no lap marks, more paint mils.

Great tips helps a lot seeing how you do it.

I get tired just watching this guy work. He is worth whatever her charges.

The optics of this are amazing. Logistically though...idk. Maybe with a big crew. Otherwise id be working that sheild till the cows came home. Lol Good stuff, Chris.

Hi, Andy from the UK, great info on your vids, i hope to get a Graco 695 very soon with a power roller, keep it up man

Thanks this is very helpful. I'm from New Zealand.

How do you get a smooth looking finish on the exterior of your home when you can't sand off all the paint. Would love to see a video that shows techniques and products that are use for these types of repairs.

Thank you for doing all the videos I really appreciate!!! You guys are fantastic

Thanks for doing this for us !!

Norway :) I am new at your channel. Was looking out for some new stuffff on the internet and your channel poped out. Really like your style! I am painter too, running my on my one guy business. Focusing only outside jobs. Tritech, high pressure washer. Nice to see the way your doing the things done. I am already exicted to test some of your tips at my projects. Its funny because I came to similarly same solutions as you, but with `homemade` methods. They dont have such accessories here in the shops in Norway. Would love to show you my work and exchange experiences. Thumbs up!

Thank you for all this information and for sharing your knowledge.

Care is a beautiful sense of humans .

Yoooooo just saying I appreciate you bro ! I’m buying all my painting stuff from your website! Giving free game out to better my game !

Love these tutorials. Prepping my house for paint in Kalispell, MT

Great video 👍 keep it the good work !

Amazing video!! I learn so munch in 40 min

I am a DIY-er. I always seem to have a problem when masking with the tape bowing and not making a straight line. I wonder if you are familiar with this "phenomenon" and if yes how do you deal with it. BTW, your videos are excellent, the job you are doing is very professional and very helpful to all of us, the DIY-ers. Thank you!

I did my first house exterior (for pay). It’s previously painted brick. I had a hard time keeping the overspray off the vinyl soffits, particularly the J-channel next to the brick. I used a 36” aluminum shield, though. Extra work for me to touch that up. Suggestions other than masking?

Many thanks from New Zealand...

Thank You Chris. I enjoyed your video.

Awesome video ,,,,tip use aluminum foil to wrap water taps just squeeze it on no tape

Hey Chris, Great video!

Good job! Greetings from Poland :)

Hot Tip! Try to do your masking in the morning. The winds are calmer & the paper & plastic don't flap around. It's frustrating when the wind gets under the masking material & it starts fighting with you.

Great video on masking 👍

I'm watching your video learning more tricks to the trade

Hello I been watching. Your videos learning the trade Hopely to start my own business.in the near future. My question is on a 2-story house built in 1915 which is my own house. How many feet should i buy an extension latter? My goal is to paint my own home it looks like a barn home out in Green Bay Wisconsin.

Flex glue sealant re attaches those faux stones permanently. I had a couple come loose.

Just a tip I hold my tape on my wrist like a bracelet, maybe you could possibly do that also to help you out

Do you have different cutting blades on the two masker's? ie is one for paper and the other for plastic? Thanks for the videos

I just bought the Wagner Flexio 3000. First project will be painting old cabinets. How much overspray can I expect? Do I need to completely seal off the kitchen from the rest of the house. I heard that the paint will float through the air and speckle into the living room and any nearby furniture. Thanks.

Hey man I’ve got some real questions. I’ve got my first paint job and it’s part brick home. Can I just paint over the old latex paint or do I need to get all the old paint off

Happy 4th of July coming from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

Awesome tips, thanks!

Watching all the way from agua dulce California. I have been learning a lot I just have a question do you use an undercoat primer that is tinted at 60% to 80 % and then you spray out your second finish coat 100% and did you use a deeglazer.

Good series of vids. Why do u always use a pole? Is is to save ur back? Do you deal with a lot of spitting? R u a Frogtape rep?😝

That method of masking windows to spray body leaves hard paint lines on your trim

So you ran out of the airless starter kit? Thanks from HI

Awesome advices!! 👏👏👏👍👍👍

God bless you brother

Awesome video. Thank you 👍👍

Hey Chris, great video! You kind of mentioned it, but why don't you run your masking to the outside edge of the trim? How do you avoid bleed through of the darker siding color on your lighter color trim? Thanks!

Great vid man! Painting my brothers house, not quite the expert but would you recommend the gutters to be painted before exterior walls or after? Thanks

How do charge for painting on exterior painting and interior. Do you have specific method?

What do you think about the liquid window mask layer?

Is there a video on masking windows with security bars?

I dont understand how you keep spray lines off some of your trim with some techniques

How do you deal with wind blowing constantly while trying to mask plastic?

I'm starting to spray exteriors, what is the best way to prep off soffits/gutters when you are only painting the body? I have a home where I need to spray the soffits and gutters white (they are aluminum), and the body is a vinyl siding that will be sprayed a different color. What would the most efficient way to prep these be? I've been a brush & roll painter only for the last 10 years. So I am somewhat new to the spray prepping area. I can prep it out, but I'd like to learn the most efficient way. Thanks for any tips!

Great tips 👍

Do you think i should stick to interior painting?
