Professional Finish with Spray Cans?! How to Get Airless Sprayer Results from a Can! 

I just was reviewing this video and followed the advise and prepped before using the Turbo Spray Can. It was amazing to use on the door and completed it quickly without using my Air Sprayer. I spent more time setting the prep, but it was well worth it. Glad I came across your video. The 3M hand masker was pretty good, picked it up on sale, so was lucky there. Thanks for providing these videos, they help a lot for us Do it yourself types

So I tried this method and used some of the spraying info you teach in other videos as far as technique like keeping the same distance and never stopping or changing directions on the surface. The results were incredible. I also used the tape and paper gun you recommended, and white turbo spray on a maybe 50 year old steel door. It was chalky and had some light rust spots coming through the paint so I just used a grinder with wire brush head on it. Took down to bare metal in the rusted areas and knocked the chalk off everywhere that way. Sprayed the door and it looks like a brand new white hood on a pickup. It all worked amazingly well.

This channel should be called "Paint Life TV Yo". Great tips... Always learn something new. Thanks for making these!

Hey Chris. I dont know if you've ever thought about using wax and grease removers used by the autobody industry but the stuff is great. Evaporates quickly and cheap as dirt vs buying krud cutter. I also by masking plastic from an autobody supply shop. Savings out the ying yang.

I'm a fan of those Rustoleum spray cans too! I used them to paint 16 shutters and they came out awesome! Here is a tip - always buy one more can than you actually need because on my job, one can tip clogged and I could not free it for the life of me. My local home depot was out of stock, so I drove another half hour away to another Home Depot and bought the can I needed. I also bought the rustoleum rust inhibitor spray cans when I had to sand and repaint some metal sheds. After prepping/sanding/degreasing and then applying the rust inhibitor, I applied 3 coats of hunter green rustoleum spray paint and now the sheds look brand new. Thanks for the content you provide!

I painted a flatbed for a truck with five cans.. got excellent results great coverage.. After time I found the nozzle uncomfortable even with using gloves. and you're right that paint drys real fast...

I always like to see a side reflection of the finish to see how smooth it is.

Prep is everything!

Thanks for sharing this. I just painted my entry door that was in desperate need and it came out great!

Looks like a smaller "John Cena"....

Love the krud cutter. Soak painted hinges overnight and then wipe the paint off. Great video. Long ti e subscriber. Thanks for all the help. Go titans!

THIS IS A VERY UNIQUE, QUICK AND EASY WAY TO PAINT SMALL ITEMS, IT WOULD BE NICE IF THEY WOULD MAKE REFILL CANS IN THAT SAME TIP SIZE. SO THAT IT CAN BE REFILLED IN OTHER SUPPLIERS PAINTS. VERY NICE SPRAY CAN WITH THE TIP! THANK FOR THE GREAT CONTENT CHRIS.

Being a tradesman myself, love to watch a professional do his thang! Awesome professional work brotha keep it up!

Great, video Kris, love how you stress the importance of Preparing (prep) work is before actually painting, excellent results comes from all the preparation and painting techniques. I noticed you decide not to prime that Grey door since you are painting it white? You sprayed five coats, I generally do one or two coats of primer depending on the color I'm covering, and two top coats. I think it be more cost effective since primer is less expensive and that spray can more expensive if you have to multiple doors. Aways enjoy watching another Professional Painter Artisans doing his magic. Thank you.

Interesting, I was just thinking of this. I don't want to purchase an airless spray painter, then I came across Rustoleom's Turbo spray. I then searched on RU-vid for painting trim with spray paint and came across your channel. Excellent review for those of us who are needing to know.

What? There is a real painter on RU-vid? Subscribed.

I used that before, it's fast alright, lays down a lot of paint quick and also empties the can very quickly

I primed a 15 x 10 gable of brand new cedar shakes with the zinnser primer version of that can. Great for being on a ladder! Also great control getting in between the shakes.

I love your helpful videos and tips! I pay attention to all your prep tips! I taught my 80 years old mom todo it too! Making in a wind is so hard! All my taping got undone fast. No prep - the mess will be I possible to clean. I hired some “professionals” and spent more time and money cleaning after them. Since then I paint myself!

Had trouble with bursting and clogging but found soaking them in a bucket of hot water for a minute or two got rid of that and made them spray way better

I must be learning tricks of the trade. 🤣 I had a brainstorm to spray primer oil based Cover All on my kitchen cabinets instead of cleaning my air sprayer. Glad I found this vid. Confirms my idea of deciding to use spray cans is okay and not being lazy..

Chris, Good video. For rinsing the lifted chalk, and gunk, when you don’t have a power washer, try using your little hand held airless, along with a wet sponge or abrasive pad.

You did a dang good job spraying that door for using a can of paint. Good job

Very detailed step by step prep and process, plenty of tips.

I literally learn something from every video I watch. Thanks Chris, keep doing what you're doing.

As soon as I saw you doing what I need to do in a couple of weeks and saw you using the spray can. I immediately subscribed. Great video

I might use this on my old kitchen table. Need to give it a fresh look.

I have done blends with a spray can and it turned out beautiful

Cool video Chris and awesome job as always. Thanks for making these for everyone. You’re the man! Rock on.

I used those turbo cans to paint my car and it turned out great! High gloss black was the color I used.

Your price is great on this paint.. Home depot wants 46 dollars a can. I painted my trailer with one can and loved the way it came out.

Looks good, I'll have to try that product sometime

Awesome video. Your videos are top notch quality and thanks for showing all of the steps in detail.

I-da-pimp painter. Thank you for the informative videos. You have definitely changed the way I paint for the better and are truely a pro. Very inspiring.

Little tip Chris. Lose the crud cutter and give that door a good slathering of laquer thinner to clean. Will easily wipe out the chalking and you’ll never have a fish eye again. Also dries instantly. I have done that on all metal and fiberglass doors for yrs with zero issues. Also helps tape stick to problem areas like glass with greasy fingerprints.

This is really interesting material. I appreciate the effort you put into providing it. Many thanks!

Just a quick tip Chris I put my tac tape on my wrist that way you dont have to look for it 👍

"Prep work is always important"

Great video and great product as well I would had not heard of that product as I am in the uk but it dose look good if there was a way I could get my hands on it and try it on my day to day jobs that be great fist time watching your videos have to say you good man keep up your great work love the vibe that you got Thank you

Im heading to beach (shore) in nj for the day and my girlfriend missed our exit. I made fun of her bc she 0-3 with driving mistakes this morning. She tried to blame me bc she zoned out bc I wasn't talking to her. I was like well im watching Chris spray paint a door lol. She rolled her eyes.. I told her I wish we had painters like you around us. Would hire you guys in a heart beat. Love the videos ans tips.

Make a “painters tool belt” video, or a “painters tool bag” or what’s in your truck? Do you have a shed full of supplies or something? I’m sure you could spend hours talking about it and I’d definitely listen.

I can't believe it took this long for a product like this to be available

Thank you for the details instructions. I will spray paint my garage door. I will definitely look for this product! I use coconut oil to clean the paint off of my hands and face.

Next time spray door ******VERTICAL****** First. You have more paint in the can when tilted on it's side. Then finish with horizontal strokes so can is in the upright position when running low in paint can. Nice job tho Man.

Hopefully people that want to paint a door like this can see how much time is dedicated to it. It's just one door; however, when you quote to paint a door like this here in California, people get scare of the price. I say "Good Work is no cheap and cheap work is not good".

Wow! 1Peter 4:16 in your video description. It was the verse I needed! Amazing how the Lord used a paint video to confirm to my prayer.... Thanks......valuable product information and video too btw... "But if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed but let him glorify God in having that name." 1 Peter 4:16

The prep work makes everyone run the other way when painting

What’s the going rate to a client for that job? Materials used, 2 cans, travel time, opportunity costs of a bigger alternative job. I’m curious what you or even viewers think is appropriate.

My favorite channel now for sure Love it Thank you sir

I have a 2 stage turbine hvlp unit that I used to use for jobs like this. The clean up on the gun is very minimal, and it does a really superior job.

I see it sells in gloss white and gloss black can you custom order any other shade in gloss?

You are a really good painter

I noticed he sprayed 5 coats but does look good paint as many as you need to make it look Good!

Love watching him. He looks like Bruce Willis

Great work Chris as always.

Another great instructional video learning a lot from you thanks

I was wondering about that one, glad you put out a video explaining it

Wow, this can can fly and. Spray itself 👏

Chris. Few people work as hard as we do !

the prep is what everyone need to pay attention to ,,jus sayin

Prep prep prep.. Nice job.

Very articulate presentation and honest , GOD bless hard working Americans.

Just what I was looking for. Thank you. LMAO That door made the brick walls look like S***.

Have you done or ever thought about doing a video on your workout routine? Even better, how you manage to get your workout in with a busy schedule like running your business. Usually by the time I get home I'm beat.

Just curious, would it be better to hold the nozzle down the whole time instead of stopping/starting at the edges? Did you get any spitting from stop starts? Obviously you are the expert and are doing it this way for a reason.

Ive used this method a few times and i quickly realized that the paint takes 7 days (depending on conditions) to completely cure and have to be extremely careful with contact until full cure.

Good work, buddy. Stay blessed !

I In light of al that masking effort and material I have to wonder if a small roller and trim brush wouldn't be time and money saving.

Your origami side hustle is evident!

Yeh the first time I used this it blew my mind holy crap this thing is a paint slinger get ya some of that

That was great for video purposes, but as a fellow painter I would have had it finished with a brush and roller by the time you had it masked up.😁

Nice work Brother!

Wish we could have seen the finished product up close at the end.

Great video!

Thanks for the great video. I noticed that you sprayed on 4 coats to get the surface covered fairly well and then, after it set for 10 minutes or so, and it became tacky, then you sprayed a final coat. Is this better than waiting for the coats to dry? Is there ever off-gassing problems from this procedure. I could save a lot of time doing it this way. Does it ever cause problems?

Thats crazy how long that took to mask and tape, I could have cut that in around the door handle then brush and rolled it with a hot dog roller in about 20 minutes tops. Wouldn't have to tape anything off 30 yr pro here, just my opinion otherwise this guy is solid.

Chris. What type of mic are you using please? Thank you

I often use spray cans on bifold doors...take them off & spray them outside.

looks like average cost is $11.00 not bad huge savings in a set up time for a small Job like that, awesome

Hi Chris! God bless 👍🏻

That was impressive, thanks!

Nice! what kind of mask is that

Nice job!! 2 camera shoot....Hollywood

Nice, I see it works really well, after putting 4 coat's on how much was left and would it be suitable for interior doors? Thanks.

What John Cena will look like when he gets older 🤣

One thing! I don’t like how the spray can is so long! When the manufacturer could have made it less shorter? Anyways not to worry! Great video Chris ! 👍🏻

Going to buy this product for sure!!

I would have been fired if it took me this long to paint one door.

Super informative! Thanks for sharing!

Do u get the typical orange peal effect w a can sprayer compared to airless spray. Thinking about doing my front door. I don’t have a large gallon sit tank to meet the air sprayer volume thanks Tim

Great job budd

Hey Man I have a Wagner twin stoke 9170 it turns on but there is no suction. What’s going on with it??

This 0i!✊is for you rudie

ALWAYS GREAT WORK SIR

Why not use your HVLP sprayer, wouldn't it be easier to set up and clean?

Would you recommend this for a garage door and a metal security door? Thank you for your videos.

Love your videos and info thank you so much!

Prep prep prep.... My customers always comment about how fast I am. I always tell them that part of it is experience and the other part is the prep work. A good prep jobs allows you to move faster and with confidence.

Great video, Thanks

The people giving this a thumbs down have a sour soul.
