Also, how many sq feet have you gotten out of a single part A and part B Armorseal 1000 HS kit on a bare concrete garage floor that was just grinded?

Oh, so what do you use as the base epoxy coat then? And why?

Have you done any videos specifically addressing prepping and painting melamine cabinets? I’ve heard you previously recommend X-I-D UMA primer, but I wasn’t sure if you had any tips or experience to share as far as prep and painting.

Ok so how do I rig this so that it stops falling out when I pick up my cut can???

Oh yea, never mind, just bend it a little and it’s all good. My bad… lol.

Love your videos! Do you have one or more on refinishing oak wood grain to antique finish no wood grain present?

Hi. sir , how are you I hope fine

I have a quiestion  I’m goin to paint a cabinet kitchen

I need a recommendation

centurion water base primer and centurion final coat ?

Or Sherwin William quick dry primer water base - with  Emerald ?

Do you recommend another primer ( oil base? ) or water base ?

Im small company in Houston i always saw your post

Moving into a new (to us) home in a few weeks. Most of the main space is burgundy. Wife wants off white, Kilz 2 primer than at least two coats? Tint the primer? Or go with multiple coats of Behr 1 Coat? Also are any of the online calculators for how much paint actuate? Dont want to buy too little or too much. Cheers from the Jersey Shore.

Hey Chris, enjoy your channel and content! I have a 2 year old built garage on a slab with a 2ft block wall. Efflorescence is present which Ive heard needs to be removed before any paints or sealants can be applied. Im wanting to paint or stain the block interior and exterior. What approach should I take?

No printer going from dark to light? Or is Behr one coat that good?

luckily my wife picked one of those colors. Just saved me a third of the time I was budgeting and of course the cost of the primer. Thanks for all the tips.

Good morning Chris. I started prepping my gerage for paint and was using the air gun to clean the surface. now the paint is peeling of. How far should I go before using triple thick peel stopper?

Okay thank you

Hey Chris, Dan here from Tampa, FL. We are in the moisture control business and we do a lot of work with hot rod painters and a few cabinet shops. I dig your channel. Curious if you ever have moisture issues in your air compressor lines, if so, can you email me back djenkins@steelcamel.com

Hello!! I live in southern AZ and I need to paint my rod iron fence that runs along the back side of my yard. There’s some rust wear the water hose has hit while cleaning pool filters etc. In this heat would an acrylic enamel work best? There’s no continuous water hitting fence. Also, would spray paint that’s a primer/topcoat combo work ok?

Hey, Chris. I have a question. What tip do you recommend me to use when spraying cabinets. Doors and trim

Hi Chris, great channel. My wife and I purchased a house in upstate NY in November.  The house was VERY poorly stained with an oil based stain.  There are significant lap marks and uneven coverage, in addition it is peeling in several areas.  The house has vertical, smooth, cedar lap siding and there is almost zero grain/texture to the wood.  Oil based solid stains are impossible to find these days in NY due to government restrictions. Would you recommend using an oil based primer and then covering with either a solid Benjamin Moore water based stain or paint.  I know you recommend Arborcoat for wood exteriors but is it ALWAYS recommended or are there some instances where BM Aura is the better choice?  We will also be painting windows, soffits, gutters, and drip edge. Many thanks!

Hi Chris. I have a dilemma. I have a 1974 brick ranch-style home and I want to change the brick color. It’s never been painted or stained. I believe your preference is to use stain, not paint, correct? My problem is that I can’t find ANY painter in my area that will even DISCUSS staining my home much less has any experience or knowledge of the process. I’m a retired 62 year-old woman and pretty handy. I’m thinking of getting a crew to do some light repairs/prep (the power washing, caulking, small grout work) and then do the masking and painting myself. Just need someone who could answer questions about the steps as I go along to help me through the process if I get stuck. I DON’T WANT TO GIVE UP ON STAIN just cuz I can’t find a pro in my area. I called Sherwin Williams H&C tech team and was told I should consider the Loxon Solid Color Vertical Concrete Stain. Your thoughts on this 2562sf project. TY!!!

Hey chris… wondering what you would recommend for my lamp posts and mailbox? They need a fresh coat and I’m not sure what would be best. Thank you!

Hi Chris. I have a pine board ceiling that was installed probably in the 80's. The customer would like to make it darker, without painting it. I asked around and I could use a varnish that is a darker colour than the existing one (now it is clear). But I'm being told that I will have a problem with "overlap marks". The ceiling is 13 feet by 25 feet long. I was thinking of doing a few boards at a time, on the entire length, but when I start my new section, chances I will overlap the previously made section. Is there a product that would make it darker (not black) and avoid the overlap marks?

Hi Chris! Recently painted my garage and when I was taking the Frog tape off this happened. How can I fix this? The rest of the garage is fine. This is the only area this happened. Thanks!

Thank you so much

Have you ever had to us sherwin williams acrolon 218 hs it's more of a industrial style paint I've been struggling using an airless sprayer to spray it but it's kinda been working just wondering if you may have any advice or secrets to spraying this

When you are re-painting Stucco that hasn’t been painted since it was originally painted 13 years ago. Do you have to prime or can you just paint? Thanks

Hi, I recently purchased a Graco Ultra QuickShot paint sprayer to paint small jobs around my house. One of the things I want to paint is a a wrought iron fence and I want to use Rustoleum paint with a “1” (2 inch spray pattern) fflp tip. They come in an 06 and 08 orifice. Questions: Can I spray Rustoleum with an fflp sprayer like this? Can I use a 106 or 108 and which one should I use? Do I need to thin the paint and how much should I thin it? On a side note, I would like to see you review this machine.

I’m painting the 4 rail around our property and pastures. I have an older Wagner 505, that works perfectly well. I’m having a hard time finding the proper tips got the gun. The tips have a narrow barrel. A black 413 had come with the gun and red nozzle. The paint mfg. recommends a 017 or 023. I’m looking for 417, 423, 517, etc. the tips I have procured are,too fat to fit in the nozzle. I would entertain a reasonable newer gun, if the tips I require are not available. Please advise. Best regards.

Chris: I am a cabinet maker primarily, but I am also an inventor. I heard you say in one of your product reviews ( Titan 1100 airless) that you dislike accessories like tool boxes, etc on airless rigs. My question is, have you ever seen a gadget that allows an airless to connect all its lines to a 5 gallon bucket lid?

Hi Chris, I'm going to be painting my house and was looking for an insecticide additive for paint. I noticed you made a video 10 yrs ago about bug juice and stating you use it 95% of your jobs. Do you still use it and do you recommend it? Thanks

I recently refinished a cedar deck.

The deck had previously been sealed with a water based clear product. Maybe Behr. I was told that the previous painters had done a poor job and had come back and put a second coat on. Half of the deck and the stairs are uncovered. The previous product was at 90% failure and peeling where ever the deck was uncovered.

For prep, I had lightly pressure washed the deck with a mild detergent. I let the deck dry for a week and then I sanded 40, 60, 80, 100 grit. After sanding (before staining) I noticed that the deck floor was picking up my shoe prints. The day that I stained (Clear Wood Stain and Sealer), I spot sanded where the foot prints were, blew off the deck, and then shop vac’d the deck. I applied the stain with a stain pad and wiped any excess product off. The customer did not step on the deck for 72 hours. Her shoes have been leaving prints. It’s not on every board or on every part of the deck. One thing I noticed that it is most prominent on the steps of the deck. And where the deck is covered. Which doesn’t make sense to me as they receive very different weather conditions as the stairs are getting full sun through out the day.

Obviously this is not a product issue as it was happening before any stain had been applied.

I am just looking for any advice or insight as to what could be causing this as I have never encountered it before and have not been able to find any answers online. Thank you so much for your time and consideration.

I'm painting with roller and brush on Hardi that was new and painted 6 to 8 years ago. I'm using Behr Dynasty and am doing 2 coats. Doing a Raven black on top of yellow. I'm done with 1st coat and realize the Hardi butt joints are not caulked. What caulk would work best to do just one final coat over? Or should I double coat the newly caulked joints anyways? Thank you.

Looking at painting a home with smooth synthetic stucco. Does it require primer or would two coats of acrylic work best? Also, does it need to be backrolled?

Hi Chris, been watching your videos for a few months now. I've been painting for almost 24 years and have learned a few things from you. Just made my first order from your store. Excited to try out your whips. Thanks.

Chris, when prepping the wall to be painted do you feel that it should be dry wiped down and then a damp wipe down? Also I wanted to thank you for your content and the scripture verses that you have on your videos! Praise the Lord!

What is the best way to solve this checking in my cabinet paint?

Hi Chris, I just purchased your cabinet training videos, i am very interested in opening my own buissness but just to be a cabinet professional. I am new to all this and my first project will be my own kitchen cabinets . I just need some advice as to how to start i have purchase graco sprayer gun festool sander most of the stuff to get started just need some advice on how to launch a buissness and eventually leave my 9-5 job.

So I painted a playground slide (green) to pink. I pressure washed, sanded, washed down with acetone. Used our sprayer and painted it pink with a waterproof exterior paint and sealed it. We didn’t even hang it back up and it’s already chipping. What can I do differently because I’m thinking of pressure washing it right off and re doing it to last longer. I saw the pool slide and was wondering if I should do that?

My husband wants to kill me bc he said it was a bad idea in the first place 🥴

What product do you recommend ? I have another slide to so I can try it out

Hello, i'm a fairly new painter and i've only done interiors so far with good success. But now i've got a job painting 8 FRP columns on exterior. I was wondering the best paint brand and sheen and your fav white column color that you would use. Also what size nap roller sleeve should i use ? Thank you in advance for the advice....

Hello, we purchased a home that had a fireplace on a large brick wall. It has already been painted, only on the brick not on the grout. (it's rather hideous). I'm guessing we cannot stain it now. We have already purchased the paint via a friends advice. Now we are trying to decide if we want to brush and roll the paint. (We have large nap roller), but we also have access to our friends paint sprayer.

Hi Chris, I’m starting some on-site kitchen spray finishing in the future. I’ll be using a make-shift spray booth from paint line/zip wall to spray the cabinet doors. Just wondering, which explosion-proof exhaust fan would you suggest? Thanks for all that you do!

I use Renner wood coatings, which is water based. Does that still require an explosion proof fan?
