The BEST Door Spraying System for BEGINNERS and DIYers!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ก.ค. 2024
- Hey Gang! Got a cool one today. We shoot our trim color and it looks absolutely stunning. We also run you through how we clean our X7 with paint thinner, a lot of requests on our last video showing the cleaning process. And finally we showcase a product we found that we believe can really help a DIYer or homeowner get a flawless paint job on things that can be difficult to paint, such as doors and trim. We're not sponsored by StakPack, but not everyone has the spare hundred hours to learn how to master a sprayer and the paint along with it, so we're stoked that there's a first time friendly solution for the rest of the Gang. Thanks for watching and Happy Mother's Day!

You were wrong about walking through the cleaning of the spray system!! I watched and enjoyed every second of it and I learned a few things!! Thank you for taking the time to show us!
💯
Pls explain what he did wrong about cleaning his sprayer
@@tinysand3517 I think you’ve misunderstood! He said at the beginning of the video that they didn’t think the audience would
want to see how they clean the sprayer, and I said he was wrong about that! We enjoyed seeing it!
@@RussWilsonII got you
As a professional painter here are a couple things I would suggest.
First Amazon. They always have the fine finish tips even when the stores don’t.
Second. I would not use an extension for fine finish applications. When you have an extension and you release the trigger the paint in the extension loses pressure to a point where the tip does not atomize it anymore and you get “spitting” big drops of paint on your finished surface. ( they do have valve you can buy that’s screws on the end of the extension behind the housing that closes once the pressure drops to a certain psi but it is heavy and puts strain on your wrist making it very uncomfortable for extended use)
Third. You can wash the filter in the gun instead of replacing it. You only need to replace it once there is a hole or tear in the mesh itself.
Excellent suggestions. I also buy some knee high nylons and use them to filter the paint in the bucket before it goes into the pump.
Great tips!!!
I agree dennis, SW makes a tip that will reduce spitting and it has the added benefit of being articulating, which is cool but what you said holds.
Th only thing I would add is it might be time for them to repack that gun if it's suddenly spitting the needle might not be coming back as fast as it used to, Titan guns have adjustment screws to for this and whenever I get to them they are always cranked down so tight.
Pro painter here Richard's Painting Service Inc Scarsdale NY and I approve this comment 👌 👍 👏
C'mon boys doors have 6 sides!
You are the only one that I found that described how to use the stak rack system measurements and all . I do wish you would of showed how to flip the doors ontop of each other and spacing them out to do so
Happy Mother’s Day to all the Stud Pack mothers!!! 👊 Keep the great videos coming!!!
Cover stain oil base primer from home depot is about $22 a gallon. It is marketed as no sanding necessary. Its oil base, bonds well, and levels really nice. Solution for the stack rack problem would be use washers between door and rack for the shorter doors and bring the racks out to the same point as the tallest door. Those sprayers cannot handle thinners and mineral spirits though.. Flammable liquids will ruin your sprayers internal seals and packings. With the better grade sprayers from Sherwin you can replace the pumps for under $300. Also you shouldn't mix latex paint and oilbase products in same sprayer. You run the risk of some oil based material being stuck in the line or pump coming out with your paint causing fish eye.. where the oil and latex paint separate on your finish product.
Some advice for quick production good quality painting whole homes.. tape all casings and molding. Depending on cure time of trim paint use either the delicate surface yellow frog tape, or regular 3m blue painters tape if its been a few days. Caulk a bead over the edge of tape on trim to seal it. Use a wet rag and wipe the caulk away and only leave the film or a transparent layer over the edge of tape where you can see the tape through the caulk. This will seal all your tape and prevent bleeding. Making cutting everywhere the trim is much faster with the straight lines from the tape. Pull tape while paint is still wet on final coat as it will soften the caulk and help release in a cleaner line. As for painting the cut line on ceiling goes.. I use a medium stiff Purdy xl glide either 2.5 or 3".. swipe ceiling side of brush clean of paint on pale or handy cup.. before starting any lines swipe ceiling side of brush on wall close to your line to clean the excess paint off brush so it doesn't build up or grab the ceiling during the pull. Should be cutting (for right hand, start from left pull right in a more comfortable motion - for left hand start right and pull left) this is a more comfortable motion and will result in cleaner quicker cut lines on ceiling once you get it dialed in. Then smooth out the excess paint on wall with brush. My system goes roll-brush, brush-roll for my 2 coats of painting on walls. After first roll it shows imperfections that can be fixed while cutting in, and being able to 2nd coat the walls while compound dries is nice. For edges of tape wait until you're ready to roll the walls for bigger projects so the paint doesn't dry too fast on the tape and caulking before pulling it. I also use 2" tape to bump tape with roller to bring texture and extra coverage over the excess trim paint. Making covering the walls a quick process. Same process works for any transitions, like the wood beams on ceiling. Tape the beam caulk the edge and pull tape while paint is wet. Should give a nice clean straight line without "touch ups" when done properly.
good tips
Excellent write up,, some great ideas here !
1-2-3 is very popular up here in Canada, I was a bit stubborn and did not transition soon enough for all trim applications. It's cheaper and more reliable than many of the ' professional ' primers at the suppliers. I do sand before using though, old school.
Thanks for posting !!
Fantastic tips Jack! Thanks for posting!
@@wojtek-33 is that my experience with them? No its in the brochure. This doesnt offer "on the job repair". Meaning if the sprayer pump goes out its done for. These sprayers arent designed to be used long term really. Only a 125 gallon/year suggested use. Also this sprayer cannot spray "HOT" Solvent based liquids per the brochure.. yea you can spray random material but will it lead to premature failure of your rig? You bet.. you can tell which sprayers are capable of spraying thinners and "Hot" material by the design of the input hose. All of the lower grade (doesnt mean cheap in terms of $) sprayers have the clear flexible input tube. Which might possible break down in certain solvents. The better grade sprayers have a metal input tube. Not sure why you felt the need to comment before reading the brochure from Grecos website yourself though. These pumps are not made with the same kinds of seals the better grade sprayers have. These are for waterbased products only as anything else will most def lead to deterioration of the seals inside the sprayer. One day he will go to load paint into it and it wont suck anything up because the pump wont be creating a seal. A little bit of research goes a long way lol.
I'm a professional painter who has been using airless sprayers for 27 years.
Mineral spirits isn't a "hot" solvent.
Lacquer thinner on the other hand is "hot".
There's nothing wrong with using this Graco airless with both latex and alkyd based paints.
The important thing is to clean it out properly every single time you use it, and never leave water in it when you are done.
I have used my Graco for the last 15 years and switch between alkyd and latex all the time.
If you spray latex, then clean it out really well with water and once you have clear water coming out of the primer hose and the gun, then relieve the pressure and pull out the pump filter and the gun filter and clean them off with a scrub brush using water.
Reinsert them and run a bit more water through the system and then run mineral spirits through it until all water has been purged.
Then relieve the pressure and you're done.
I always leave mineral spirits in the pump, hose and gun and have never had any problems.
Painting with alkyd is easier to clean out because you just use straight mineral spirits the whole time.
I've never used that pump armor product.
Our dude in the video should have cleaned the gun filter with a scrub brush and he also should have pulled out the pump filter and cleaned it. Otherwise he's good to go.
Two stud pack videos in a week. Must be Christmas. I love you guys videos. You all have the best format on TH-cam of all the contractors in my opinion. I like how you guys focus on a particular project and focus all your tips and tricks on that one subject instead of other guys who just show you what they did that day and they are all over the place and aren’t giving a lot of info. You all should definitely make more videos. Lol
Johnny Bench Krylon Paint. Thanks for the memory!
Excellent instructions! Very well stated and articulate.
Now my take: 51 years of painting. I appreciate all old school techniques but the newer technology is here.
1) After through prep: Urethane Acrylic primers are excellent, but not on some staining issues.
2) Semigloss paint isn’t necessarily enamel. I usually go for something that states”enamel” on the label: example: Benjamin Moore Advance( which is water BORNE alkyd, or a Urethane Acrylic like Cabinet Coat or SWP Emerald that way you can stay with all water soluble materials and…
SEND THAT TRASH THINNER TO NEW JERSEY WHERE IT BELONGS!!!!
You guys are absolutely the best! Learn something new each time I watch an episode. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to the next one!
Thank you for your videos. I love "tips and tricks." I really enjoy how you show how it's wrong then how to fix it. I know nothing about how remodeling is done. Learning a ton from you. Wow 2 videos back to back, loved them, thank you 😊
What a first class move with the flowers and mother's day wishes!
You guys are always killing it! What an improvement in overall production quality as well! Keep it up!
Watching your work and teaching is so refreshing even if I knew nothing about construction. With your expertise and concise step by step explanations it's so 👌 🔥 💯. Love your work. Love and big up from Jamaica 🇯🇲
Thank you so much. I had no idea that there was a filter in the handle! I also found the cleaning process very helpful and not at all boring.
Thanks for that tutorial on cleaning your spray equipment, very helpful. Can’t wait to see the finished product. As my old shop teacher would say, you do good work, not much but good. 😁 just kidding, you guys are real pros. Wish you were in Georgia. Please pass on to your good lady, happy mother’s day.
Man, every video is solid. Jordan, awesome editing and production schedule you’re on man, I know it’s lots of work. It’s much appreciated.
Thank You guys for a Mother's Day Video!! Keep Up The Good Work!!
Thanks for showing and explaining the sprayer cleaning process. It is helpful to learn how pros do the mundane stuff!
Happy Mothers Day to Ms Stud Packs ... Thx for posting ...
Great work and great video. Y'all are getting so good. Can't wait for what's in store for us subscribers
Greatest joy in life, a stud pack video 😍😍
Love the editing in this one. Been watching you guys since the beginning. Y'all are both phenomenal and getting better! 🤘
Gentlemen - Great Channel. Really excited about your build/remodel coming up soon. I'm a retired contractor (five years) and really miss the work. Unfortunately fighting Parkinson's in addition to other more normal "old age" ailments so my working days are behind me. Ten years ago I would have loaded up some tools and headed down to give you guys a hand. We did it all but framing was one of my favorite elements. Please keep your channel as it is - great information for weekend warriors and trades too. Best of Luck - sounds like a beautiful project!
You guys are THE BEST!
Thank you for your videos!
I’m always smashing the like button.
Please keep the videos coming.
I second the Swiss Coffee recommendation. Good looking job guys
No runs, drip, or errors -- Johnny Bench for Rustoleum. Speaking of Mothers' Day, I hope your mom is well and enjoying her new bathroom. From your CENLA follower: very nice work!
I have the same sprayer and have used it to paint several houses over the years and today I just learned from your video that there is a filter in the sprayer handle!
I used the screw method as demoed by this channel. Worked great, thanks!
I found running paint thinner was hard on internals on my sprayers so i had one machine for oil base products and one for latex it stopped the replacement of packing s and rebuilds seemed like every 6 months i had my machines in getting rebuilt. You guy's are doing professional grade work. Great video
Awesome job guys and nice touch with the flowers on mom’s day Ching Ching !
Hey, a new guy here! I just finished watching your old videos from 2020 and I have to say, you seems to be a lot more comfortable in front of the camera, than you were two years ago 8) I'm learning a lot of interesting stuff from your vids and I'm getting excited, anytime a new one pops out. Keep doing what you're doing and stay awesome! 8D
Great video guys! Thank for showing that clean up. Very simple.
Great job, love Swiss Coffee! Looking forward to watching you do the ceilings & walls too!
Happy mother's day to the stud pack designer!
Another excellent video guys!! Thank you for sharing. 👍❤️👍
Happy mother's day 💕!, great job !, one tip I used was a product called flo-trol that is a paint additive that helps keep the paint from starting to set up in the airless sprayer and also helps the paint self level and flow evenly on any surface, also it helps with making it easier to clean up the tips, hose, and pump on your sprayer, add about 16 ounces to 5 gallon of paint!, also Swiss coffee is a great trim and closet color!!
Happy Mother's Day to Mrs. Stud Pack!
With the extension wand on, you may a larger tip to get latex to spray through it. A 311 tip is a bit small for latex and primers, I use that mostly for stains and sealers. I would probably move to a 315 to keep the same size fan pattern but have a larger diameter. A 415 would be about perfect though, because you'd be a little closer to the surface so the wider fan pattern will help distribute the paint a bit better. Sometimes those extension wands require the larger tip, or just cranking up the pressure a bit more will push the paint through the tip.
I always use the extension wand 😉
I used those Stack Rack for my door painting! Worked great.
Great video guys! I just painted a place and am glad I am finally finished! 😂
Looks great!
Father and son, we wish you the best! Thanks!
Another great video! Great work, please keep making such great content!
ive tried a bunch of stacking systems for doors. but like you say it may not work great with different sized doors so i now just take em off and paint the spine of the door while im doing the frame then put it back on a finish the door later. its just less hassle. super video thanks.
great video
love all tips and tricks, ill be giving some tips myself soon
Happy mothers day to all
God Bless have a wonderful day
Killer setup for racking trim package! I Tweaked the stack rack and doubled capacity
Once the paint is out of the unit I remove the gun and manifold filter, clean them at the same time, when using thinner based, use old thinners and cycle it for about 5 minutes, it'll clean faster when you put in fresh thinner and uses less, you explaining is do clear and easy to understand, love those triangles
Great video, I love the coverage you get with that 311.
I bought my sprayer used……. I didn’t know it had a filter, it was baadddddddddd badddddddddd like cake cake 🤣🤣 thank you for the tips! Life saver
Looks fantastic guys.
Great job Guys.
Thank you for this video. You guys rock!!!
Awesome job guys looks great 👍
That paint has a nice sheen to it. Good job.
Looks great! PPG is good paint, I've used it for customers in the past with good results. I'm just so used to Sherwin Williams that I can't change. It's kinda like a Chevy or Ford loyalty.
I just painted a house with Swiss Coffee. Not sure if it ever went out of style, but it was the go-to white 30 years ago, superceding Navajo.
Looks like your liking those new sanders😄
💯% correct about Swiss Coffee. Most trim here in Arizona is SWISS COFFEE 👍🏻
great work
but the inline air gun was the best thing I saw.. never knew it existed but it's awesome
As always a great video and so very well done. Awesome
You guys are killing it! The mother of my children just sat through an entire episode on her day because she apparently likes your content too. You obviously are doing something right. Thanks for all the great content guys!
I used to get my ex-husband to watch SP with me. hehe
Great video once again.
Great video and if you save the paint thinner in a large bucket and let it set for a week or two all the paint will sink to the bottom of the bucket and just pour it slowly in another bucket and like new. Continue to use it for another cleaning next time. Thanks for the video and great work.
Our new house over here are basic, scotia/cornice and ceiling all one colour in flat/matt ceiling paint, trims in water based enamel, all sprayed, then mask off skirting boards and brush n roll walls in low sheen water based paint
Swiss Coffee. I have heard of that paint color multiple times. I'm pretty sure we used it as well.
Going to have to look at the stacking system. As a homeowner, not a pro, rolling/brushing a 6 panel door and waiting to flip just is a waste of time (and drying out paint)
Happy mother's day to all the mothers!
Y’all are great Thank you!
I love this channel! I wish I found it sooner. Hey Stud Pack, I just painted all my doors and trim with Chantilly Lace. It's ultra white. In hindsight, I wish I would have gone with a warmer white color. Hopefully it looks okay when I add the wall color which is a bit warm.
Currently looking at a graco prox17, so this came at a good time!
Thanks for showing the cleaning process. I have bought the smaller version of this sprayer after watching your videos as I'm looking to paint my whole house; trim, walls, ceiling, and thing this will help a lot. I feel a lot better about cleaning the sprayer having watched this video. Also good to know about leaving the tip in a bucket of water if your going to spray more the following day. However, what about the rest of the system?
Good. Afternon. Great video ty
Also thanks for giving me an idea of what to 3D print.
as a pro ill say this get a graco 390 pc or titan 440. you can get one for about $800 at your local sherwin williams instead of the magnum. they cost $100-$150 more but the quality of sprayer is huge! even for diy but especially if your planning on doing this as a side hustle or pro. for a diy. the resale value will hold up great on a graco 390 or titan 440.
Looks great
Good job men !😎
13:30 Paul, Harbor Freight on Sherwood Forrest had plenty of the Avanti tips in stock this past weekend. They're decent quality and work fine in the Grace sprayers.
I love your videos. The drywall taping helped me a great deal.
I need to spray some doors inside my house because it’s cold right now where I live. Do you have a video on setting up some type of spray paint room? Thanks
hey stud pack! good stuff on practising proper maintenance and care for your paint sprayer, i happen to clean these and service many other tools and the only thing i'd add is to run water through the machine first before paint thinner. apart from that keeping the airless system from drying out overnight is a great idea and i even do it for my work when i cant service the tool right away. the only thing i'd say is to have both the gun and paint drawing tube submersed in water to keep the paint inside from drying.
no one runs water into a line full of oil based material.
All the way over here in Arizona? Swiss coffee? Yep, that’s the one!
When painting over your head, especially with a sprayer, it’s a good idea to wear a cap of some sort (in addition to eye protection and respiratory protection).
Your cleanout is very similar to mine. I have folks that think you waste a lot of paint in the spray hose, however I have found you only lose about 3-4oz total. I have never had luck with a spray extension. There is always the after dribble (pressure stops at the gun and the tube has paint in it the pressure decreases in the extension tube)
Swift coffee. Great job bud!
Thank you for walking thru the oil based cleaning. I have a pro17x and have only used latex, which takes forever to clean. I’m scared to death to run oil base paint thru it. You gave us some good pointers. 👍👍
3 machines two latex for two colors and one for oil
@@stich1960 I don’t understand what you’re saying.
I love this tool!
My recommendation, immediately upgrade to 2.5” #10 screws for anything heavier than hollow core.
I have a bunch of Stack Raks and I agree! The supplied screws are a little weak for solid core, especially 36".
Appreciate very much your videos.
I'm building a J&J bathroom for my grandkids. I'm using pocket doors for the toilet/shower area dividers. I just spent most of today painting two 36" slab doors with two coats of paint with a paintbrush. Ugh!! Wish I'd seen this last week. :-) Oh well, live and learn.
Don't feel bad. sprayers are too much work for 2 doors. Short nap 4" roller, Floetrol in the paint and your good.
Love it!!!
I was wondering why you did not paint the top and bottom of the doors. Thanks for helping us do it better!

@Studpack Hey guys love your channel, I have been using the Stak Racks for a while now. When you have doors of different heights, just rip a scrap off of a 2x4 the thickness of your difference in height and tack to the shorter door with a couple screws or 23 gauge nails easy to pull back off after spraying doors. (I like to make mine 1" wide so paint can get around the edges of door and attach to top of doors as no one ever sees the top of a door.
I use the StakRacks as well, but I have a word of caution if you are painting the doors in a different location. I transported 6 doors stacked up in the back of my truck and got within 1 block of my destination before the entire stack toppled over, even though it was tied down with straps. It marred the doors and was very frustrating. Great system as long as you don't have a need to paint them in your shop and transport them to the worksite.
@@northernlightsrenovations1710 when I have to transport I use vertical 2x4’s and screw then in next to the stack racks and one horizontal between the two vertical ( H Shape) to prevent toppling in transport and between the stakracks and 2x4’s it’s solid. And the horizontal 2x4s are perfect for carrying a stack all at once.
You can see the top of doors from a second floor or loft or stairs etc. and the first floor door is open.
@@WalkerHomestead That's a brilliant idea! It's one of those head slapper ideas.... why didn't I think of that!
great stuff
I'm a 15 yr painter I just cut 12in 1×4 and screw them on the bottom of door and that way you can stand them up and spray them without moving or touching them spray without stopping
One of the tips I've picked up from this channel is to measure from the centerline, not from the edge. Seems like that would've solved one of the alignment problems with those Stack Racks (re: different door widths).
I had the same thought, just need to be somewhat careful as one of the features of the stack racks is the ability to 'roll' the door from one side to the other while one pair of feet can stay stationary. If the pivot point is too far in from the edge of the door you might limit or lose that ability
Gotta love Paul saying noob. Jordan must be influencing his vocabulary.
I don’t mean to rain on your parade, youngster, but we GenX kids used “noob” back in our day, too.
When paintng walls try using 1" yellow frog tape on the top edge of your base trim. It will save you time and knee pain. It will also protect from any overspray from your roller. You can also tape the sides of door and window casing but that depends on cut in skills. Cost of tape vs time saved. 👍🇺🇸
7:16 wow, great coverage
After pumping thinner through the pump, hose and gun it is necessary to pump denatured alcohol through the pump, hose and gun to clean the thinner out preventing the thinner residue from drying out all the rubber seals inside the pump and then flush with water. Also important to spray paint thinner through the tip to ensure no clogs in the tip. Final thought to reduce clogging of interior filters put the draw tube in a strainer net before putting draw tube in the paint
if you transfer the paint thinner to some tall thin containers, the particulates seem to perk down into a smaller "pile" much faster, making skimming off the clean thinner easier. i am sure that you use coffee filters or some thing like that to get every last drop, lol.
Wish I had this video last year when I painted a room full of doors and every door ended up with severe runs. That was a painful lesson. :D
Swiss Coffee has been the go to color for trim since back in the early 90's when I grew up painting.... god that color is EVERYWHERE!!!
And if you are matching an old trim and it is like an offwhite, there is a 90% chance it is Swiss Coffee...
Magnificent!!!
The baby dinosaur in the background didn’t even distract you. Amazing
Great idea to spray the trim! If you painted that by hand with a 3 inch angled brush it would literally take you 10 to 20 times the amount of time! Awesome buddy
Ha ha Vaseline comment! I’m not going there! LOL
