Don't you dare stop doing your thing Eduardo and Zaba Cleaning🤔 😏

[@louisfain]

for our fences, I used a wire brush drill attachment to strip off old paint and rust. it was a lot faster and more thorough than sand paper. but i'm not a professional so take my advice as a grain of salt.

[@Zabacleaning]

That is pretty clever and I'm sure it works. We don't sand by hand anymore though, we use an actual hand held sander now.

[@cfldriven]

No testing for old lead paint?

[@MrAlexGolovin]

Where is your primer?

[@CoolHand24]

what kind of paint did you use?

[@GabrielGonzalez-ge5ki]

If you don’t mind telling, how much did you charge for this job? I have my first paint job and it’s a metal deck on a 2 story house with basement and the deck is about 5x8 with stairs all metal. How much should I charge?

[@Zabacleaning]

We pressure washed it first which was included with the price. I charged a little over $1000

[@rachelbrown7739]

Is there an alternative to this paint? Apparently it can not be shipped to my state

What town or city is this house in?

[@wdontdoxmeplz]

What power tool would you recommend to remove rust and paint on those stairs?

[@Zabacleaning]

A hand held electric sander will do. They're cheap too

[@pokermon303]

Are the steps slick now whenwet?

[@Zabacleaning]

No sir, at least not with the paint we used.

[@billy-santos]

Was this rusted?

[@viewml]

Why didn’t you use a primer or rust protector first?

[@alexandraruiz4064]

He says that at 2:49! 🙂

[@michaelbrown5082]

Yes, he said it, but it didn’t look like he used a primer on the rust.

[@d.Cog420]

@@michaelbrown5082 this is a poor job but I don't want to say it out loud. I'm a painter and he didn't prep anywhere near enough as can be seen when the gloss black is on (particularly the unsanded patches under the handrail). He also charged way too little for a proper job, metal rails and fences are very time consuming. Rust is a pain. It needs to be sanded off completely then a dedicated metal primer with zinc in it is first coat (some people use rust converter products but we have tried them all and the rust comes back in a year or two). Then we use a solvent based metal primer, then when that is dry (8 hours) we use solvent based top coats x 2 (8 hours drying each coat). Rustoleum is good. To do that properly is about a 4k job (hard to tell from a you tube video). There are many old coats that need to be sanded off and it all takes time. They should also be using a proper mask, metal and rust particles aren't the best for your lungs. Eye protection too.

[@binbin6076]

are you supposed to paint the underside of the steps?

[@Zabacleaning]

You can, but this customer didn't want it done.

[@jazzcornertv]

@@Zabacleaning There is a promise made that the underside that is not visible will rust just as good.

[@alexandraruiz4064]

Hi! What grit sandpaper did you use?

[@Zabacleaning]

Hi! We used #320 to give it a smooth finish =)

[@archieletsyouknow5508]

💯 sure you pressure washed it🤔

[@archieletsyouknow5508]

💯🤔 just busting balls if you're going to sand it after it doesn't matter if you power washed it before🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@Zabacleaning]

@@archieletsyouknow5508 Yes we did. But even with a 3800 psi machine, you still have tiny leftover flakes that don't peel off. This hand rail was very old

[@archieletsyouknow5508]

@@Zabacleaning 💯 much love my fellow painter just busting a little balls

[@CarlTempleton77]

Dude… not a spatula… either say a 5 in 1 or painter’s tool, or paint scraper

[@Zabacleaning]

Good point lol

[@lueg-luigi2641]
