PRIMING AND PAINTING WALLS Painting New Construction Sheet Rock Walls. Spraying new drywall 

As a DYI-er I’ve learned a great deal from your videos. Thank you for taking the time to produce them. Also, thank you for the scripture verse, I looked it up and loved it.

The only thing I can say about back rolling is that it will smoosh into the nooks and crannies in the drywall texture where as spraying it’ll stay on top of it may leave a little pinholes you’d have to spray pretty heavy. I’ve done it too late before and showed up spray lines after the finish so I always go heavy and back roll now

Always crunch up paper and cover outlets as well before priming or any spraying

Keep up the good work, your my go to manual for painting, i learned great deal from you videos and appreciate the effort!

As a fellow Idahoan, you have saved me some time and $$ getting my new construction job painted, thanks a ton 😎

Love the white rings around the eyes

This guy is a real professional painter....it is awesome to be able to watch the real deal when it comes to painting.

So you mask twice one before priming walls than off and you remask for finish paint . Thank you Chris!

Wow! That is a lot of lights!

Just a thought, if you back roll the primer you don't have to dust unless its excessive ( i use a 24 inch floor broom). If the primer is too thick i cut the primer 10% with water. I always back roll the primer :) Different strokes for different folks :)

I was starting to think it was just me that insisted on priming walls before any paint goes on! Too many decorators posting on youtube seem to think watered down paint is the same! Great vid.

Very professional! i was a painter for 30 years...by the way, I like the Isaiah quote! I know Jesus was a carpenter by trade, but he would certainly have you fellas's finish off his work! Nicely done.

The lord has truly blessed you you are an inspiration

Love your videos chris have been watching now for couple years thanks

This is a random question but do you or could you shoot a video of your trailer setup? I liked the little we saw in the vid!

Why no back rolling on prime isn’t it new Sheetrock

From your video Christ I become a good spray painter .Thank you

I'm a painter myself I learn alot from your videos

I’ve watched you for other things and wish I had watched you (or got better advice at the home store) for this project. Granted, it’s a garage, but I’m making it a really nice space to hang out & work in. Just wish I had applied the primer before painting. Some spots pulled up where the painters tape was so I’m fixing those the correct way.

you guys just kill these jobs huh ! awesome gj

Yep! Own that movie. Love your vids!

Yep!!! Um...so, you won't believe this, but I've been using a titan 440 impact to do all my priming in a new construction house. Obviously, It's taking a while and I'm overworking my 440. My local SW doesn't stock sprayers so gonna invest and order a bigger unit. lol

your way of masking is really cool and fast gonna try that my boss makes us cut the plastic wit a razor knfe then tape it up its sorta slow glad I seen u doing that gonna try to do ur way looks faster and gonna get a wand extension also we use step ladder love ur videos u the man love the 1140 its the best

chris, i love your videos! Is it necessary to backroll the pva primer on new drywall? I'm a drywall finisher and alot of general contractors insist on us back rolling when we spray the primer on new drywall. Thanks and keep up the great work!

When we do new houses will caulk the inside of trim spackle holes sand and prime everything then we dig corners out and sand everything in house then finish ceilings then caulk against drywall everywhere them spray all trim closets go with trim too unless walk-ins they r concidered rooms

hey Chris. I love graco more. although titans are good. I find I am more comfortable with a graco. I mostly use the ultra max ll 490. your machine would be comparable to a Ulta max ll 695 if I am not mistaken. the bigger the better most of the time. be blessed.

what size filter mesh did you use on the spray gun. keep up the good work on teaching us

God Bless you your family

You've got a white mask like the Lone Ranger!

God bless you God anointed you.amen good video.🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hi Chris, I haven't seen anyone back rolling after you spray. Is this necessary to do, I have always back rolled to get some texture and work in any thick or thin spots. If you have a way around this, I'd love to hear it. Thanks, I really enjoy your videos. You guys are truly top notch!

Started looking like a white smurf there buddy. Hahaha good vid

Thanks brother! Your videos are my "go to" when it comes to paint troubleshooting. Much appreciation and love from Cali. God bless.

At 7:30 you really do look like an Umpa Lumpa lol. Another great video Chris!

Do you have to sand the primer coat? Also do you wipe down the walls after sanding them? Thanks for the help

What exactly is back rolling and is it done after I spray? Do you do 2 coats of primer and if so how long do you waiting between coats? How much does rainy weather play into dry time for primer? Do I need to do multiple coats of paint in doing multiple coats of primer?

Umpa lumpa umpadee doo I have a priming tip for you ....🐶 Thank Bro !

so I read some of the comments about back rolling so I thought I would put in my 2 cents from being a painter almost 20 years... yes you can just spray the primer, yes you can just spray the paint finish too, but.... primer won't seal as good just sprayed also depending on your primer it might flash spray strokes.. same with paint gonna look real 'sprayee' if you just spray the finish not to mention in most cases it will touch up like crap. some flats will touch up fine but anytime you take a roller to a sprayed finish to touch up your pretty much gonna see it. He's using a pva so those usually are very dead flat & will not flash at all. He's also doing high production work & a lot of painters will just spray everything on new construction, primer, then flat on all the walls & ceilings. Why because it's quick & you have to make $ & sometimes there's multiple homes after one another but its not the best way to apply. If you spray & backroll all your primer in it will feel like a job well done & be noticeably more solid I can guarantee that, then spray & back roll your finish paint & you'll be looking like a real painter that cares more about quality then $. That's just my experience with it

Chris are you able to spray the topcoat without back rolling or do you roll the final coat? I just primed drywall (sprayed) and sprayed the first coat eggshell and it looked a little streaki so I just rolled the final coat eggshell and it is way better finish streak wise at least ... but still not perfect or is that just the way it is that you can’t get glossy paints to be streak free? Is there always a little bit of a unevenness ?

We had a home built for us, we close next week. The home is complete. We are going to re-paint over the "contractor grade paint". We were told it stains very easily. My question is, Do we need to prime the walls before re-painting and if so, can we use a paint and primer all-in-one type paint?

Hey thanks for the video which Pva brand primer do you recommend now?

Yep loved that movie!!!

Amén brother! Love the the Bible verse

Feeling cute. Might go Gnarfle the Garthok later!

I know you said this was a textured wall but would you back roll over raw sheetrock with no texture or is your method the same? Thanks and love your videos

Painting looks slick and professional. I am a painting pro of,13 years. Are you hiring and do you have work year round? I can make it happen!

When you say spray a light coat, what are we looking for? What are the signs it's on too light or too heavy? Thanks much

great painter

that's how we do drywall works well use pva it works well do u have a problem with ur paint fingering out of the sprayer? I used to I mix some water with the paint and it stopped fingering

Bravooo majstore ti si moj idol!!!!

would you back roll if it was a spray knock down texture? maybe with that big tip it over comes it?

Never mind, just read a previous reply to the same question... Great vids

Titan 440 517 tip for new construction priming.. thoughts. Haven't seen a 12/21 tip in my suppliers store for ever. Never tried it. Thoughts ?

Hello Mr. Chris! Awesome videos! I just bought a titan 440 and I wanted to know what psi you set for pva primer. Thanks in advance!

مرحبا كريس عندي استفسار هل يمكن استخدام الاله للمواد المذيبه والمواد الزيتي ام الاله خاصه للمواد البلاستيك وشكرا جزيلا

You face!!!! 😂 this is my face every day

If I have a partner with me, then one of us would backroll (good idea when spraying drywall like that), otherwise I just do what you did. Spray it and call it a day. Even though it is a dirty job, I actually enjoy doing it. You can be very productive in a very short time.

You don't back roll while primping?

Getting ready to paint one of our bedrooms at our house. The ceiling paint was peeling so we stripped it bare, down to the plaster. What kind/type of primer and paint do you recommend so this does not happen again. I'm also gonna put texture on the ceiling and the walls, do i put the texture on before or after primer? We also stripped wallpaper off the walls with a product called "Worlds Best Wallpaper Stripper" from Home Depot. Is there anything else I should do to the walls. I purchased a Graco airless with a 515 to primer/paint and bought a Hopper Gun as well to do the job (never used either before, but from watching your video's I think I'll be okay using them). Been watching your video's for tips, they are excellent!! Thanks!!

Can i do this with a graco magnum x7?

Should I back roll after spraying primer and paint over a heavy orange peel? Some of my walls are new drywall and some are existing paint

love that movie

How did you end up with white owl eyes? Looks like you wee in the sun with shades on and got a serious tan.

now I see no trim is in.....would you come back later after trim is installed, mask around the walls, and put drop clothes to cover the floors? Then prime the the trim, then top coat with the sprayer?

Chris I have a question for you. I brushed the trims with oil base paint and the oil base passed a little bit to the walls. Do you apply oil base primer to the edge of the walls before painting them with latex? I really appreciate it.

In terms of spraying with an airless, do you find it necessary to back roll any of the coats, either primer or topcoat?

So what type of primer would you recommend before texture even goes on the wall?

Great video. How many coats of primer do you need?

Maybe you could leave a link in the description to your next video on my iPhone I can’t click the next video in line every time that would be very helpful thank you

are you taking the masking off after spraying the primer on the walls? Nice job Chris!

What PVA primers do you use or recommend for new construction?

Noob question: is there no need to cover roughed-in electrical boxes before spraying primer?

Hey my man. How are you? Do you back roll the PVA or just spray?

Hi, where can I find the other videos in the series. The embedded video doesn't work. also how do you deal with a situation in a remodel when you have one section of the house with all new drywall ceiling and the walls are old painted drywall, can I use the PVA primer on the old drywall?

what is the labor costs for painting a room or house..?

How expensive are those spray painting machines and which do you recommend best? Are they just as efficient as rolling?

So the paint they sell in stores that already has primer in the paint wouldnt be good enough is it better to use straight primer then use the paint?

Can you make a video on doing a mill-pack? Bondoing, priming, caulking, top coating

we have some existing walls that got all new knock down texture to match the all new sheetrock on the other floors. Would it be ok to install all trim/baseboard, and Spray PVA primer those walls with some pva overspray on the trim (not mask new trim). then later, spray all the trim. then mask trim and roll ceiling an walls? how would you do this?

Do you wear eye pro? What about the paint in the air

Should the PVA primer be semi transparent? Should you be able to see where the mud is after its primed? I'm using Kilz PVA not thinned with a 18" roller.

Do yo u backroll pva or only your paint?

8:02 "apply top coat over same day" 2 coats of primer? Or is the actual paint the "top coat"?

is “KILZ 2 Latex” good for newly plastered walls that are smooth like glass?

PVA is a bonding agent to prevent suction. if you dont use it the wall with suck up your paint.

Can the pva rolled if it's got new texture or just spray it

Yep!

do u guys put masking paper in those ceiling light cans

Chris is it really necessarily to back roll when your spraying 1)PVA? 2)Finish? 3)Stucco? Sometimes I do sometimes I don't just depends on the feel and look I have if I think it's absorbing well and looks smooth I don't bother back roll is this a misteak?

YUP !!!

Bout to start painting company and can only afford one spraye right now shoul I go with a titan 440 impact or what would Chris do?

aludos amigo eres el mejor

Do you Back roll when Spray your Primer !

Good video, thanks for posting it. I am wondering about the value in rolling the paint after spraying, would that be better for rolling any remaining dust into the paint?

Please give me advice on this: A contractor spray painted (one coat of Paint/primer in one EasyCare brand ultra premium) on my new construction drywall ceiling without cleaning the dust and he left without a trace. I am now trying to finish the paint job. I'm afraid without cleaning the dust and not apply a PVA primer the way that you show here, the paint will not bond properly. Please recommend what I should do next? Thank you.

Chris here in KY homeowners like textured ceilings when building new homes. I'm about to paint a new home with exactly that, textured ceilings. I want to prime the walls while spraying. Obviously at this point of the process no carpet, trim or hardwood floors are down, so no worries getting any over spray on them. However, I have to ensure the ceilings do NOT get any paint on them when spraying the walls with primer. What process/procedure do you use to ensure the ceilings are not affected? Do you simply use 9" paper with 3" tape to catch any potential paint over over spray from getting on the ceilings?

When you released trigger it 100% shuted out on wall and left the marks 🤔😉

Why do you use pva and not just a thin coat of paint? We don't use pva on the walls here in the UK. Is it hot where you are? I'm finding your videos really interesting Chris. You do things so differently to how we do. I've already picked a few interesting tips up. You never know it all, eh?

I have a question? When you guys prime the walls ( spray or roll ) you guys prime it in white color or you guys mix it with the final color?

Que esprayadora me recomiendas para pintar por afuera y que aguante
