I worked in a paint and hardware store in the 70's that displayed hardware like that.

The ceilings sprayed were not back rolled and imo looked lousy. Walls were cut in and rolled, and looked good. There were areas on the ceilings that looked like ice cream that was melting. It wasn't my job, I suggested how I would do it, he insisted he sprayed all the time. So be it. I would...

On the piano he blitzed, or the ceilings in the rooms he did? LOL The ceilings should have been back rolled, he didn't want to do that either. He did pay well, but didn't want to listen. So I only say things once to people like that.

Those rollers work well. Masking is a chore, and over spray can be a problem for sure. We did very little residential spray work, too much of a PITA. What a lot of painters don't realize with their liability policy is the verbiage is often worded "per occurrence." So when it comes to spray...

Nice looking dog!! Back in the day we'd call her a Mutt.

I hear ya! We found blood on the floor in bathroom in a hotel we were "going" to stay at in Florida. Blood, not a couple of drips, I'm thinking a small rat bled out. OUT!!! Funny thing was when we went to the front desk to inform them, and let them know we weren't going to stay they weren't too...

Heed that do not use anything alkyd or oil base!!!!! A lot of these products need to breathe, oil creates a vapor barrier and if the house is poorly insulated, or moisture finds its away behind the siding you can have problems. The sun heats the siding, it turns the moisture behind the siding...

That's fine!

True! I always back brushed or back rolled Hardiplank. It always looked great that way. Weathered Aluminum or vinyl siding was another story. Cedar always back brushed or back rolled.

Two wet coats? Interesting, as mentioned earlier that's one coat. Spray application, spray from left to right in one sweep equals one coat, then right to left is another. All done while the paint is still wet. Interesting wording. I always found that spraying paint on the interior or exterior of...

Thanks Buddy! Done!!

Not sure how I missed this! You my friend are going to cost me money! I'm bookmarking this one and might grab one shortly, maybe a July 4 sale?

That will work well. Just make sure the surfaces are clean and dry and no rain is expected for at least 24 hours.

You might possibly be the next Valvoline Restore and Protect success story. Although you might have a few things going on there, some of which Valvoline Restore and Protect might not be able to address. In any event good luck!!! Keep us updated.

Not good imo it looks like an oil burner.
