Airless Spray painting a House with rough stucco

[@Xeil]

Pretty quiet on this video, Mike. The audio quality is on point and when I jack the volume up it's crystal.
Appreciate the oldschool tips, i'm in my second year as a business owner as a painter. Willing to always learn new things. I do think i'll stick with the reversable tips simply because the availability is just there, but when I have a few extra bucks i'm going to setup one of my gun only for flat tips.
I'm learning how to be cost efficient. I'm a solo venture most day and hearing your words of encouragement of just losing the masker and touching up with a brush later is something I needed to hear.
When I do price heavy it's usually on things that require a lot of physical man hours, like scraping, sanding, priming and caulking. Which seams to be a lot of houses these day. Figuring out how to keep the price low on that as well, too.

yea the editor showed decent volume but when I uploaded it youtube put the volume down. weird.

Great job, painting a house with that must be really difficult.

As a 40 yr in the game Painter I agree 100% with this.

Hi Mike, long time subscriber here. Is a flat tip good for SW loxon paint? Loxon spec sheet calls for .21 tip. Tys.

[@mikethepainter]

I use 21 flat tips. you can use either. I have sprayed with an 8 21 many times also 8 23

What pressure and tip are you using?

Hi there,Im about to paint a big rough stucco house,the stucco has color but never been painted, planning to use problock from sherwin-williams and Duration flat for finish,would you recommend an elastomeric paint or primer instead? House is in the dessert so there's windy and hot weather conditions

[@mikethepainter]

probably dont need elastomeric. just 100% acrylic. I only use elastomeric on smooth adobe look stuff that has lots of cracks or lots of hairlines in a wall. But never been painted stucco you would need to prime for elastomeric. 100% acrylic no primer necessary on self priming material.

[@mikethepainter]

duration is self priming. On rough stucco no need for problock primer. only duration just like I did in this video. No primer because it is self priming on rough surfaces.

@@mikethepainter THANKYOU!

[@GekoSquirt]

What pressure exterior? Dainty open spray

[@mikethepainter]

I adjust pressure by feel. spray it until there is no fingers but just a small fan edge. Too much pressure and the paint is bouncing back at you.

Staying true to the flat tip eh , they never have any 517 flats at the store and they just laugh when I ask for them

[@mikethepainter]

If you have proper filters. you dont have plug ups so why would you need a reversa tip. It is only for guys who get plug ups becuase they dont have their stuff setup right. and the companies prey on you for that making you spend $30 for a tip that could cost 5.
