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?

Hey chris have a question on armorseal rexthane...and the application I'm trying out with it is out of the ordinary. But if you have time to talk would be great won't take long but just wanted to get your thoughts. Great videos and educational videos on everything by the way!

Hey Chris, big fan. I see your truck running around valley county and wish I would have reached out earlier. Hoping you might be able to help? Hired a contractor to paint the exterior of a house off of W. Mountain in Donnelly that I put my heart and soul into building. To say the job was an absolute disaster is an understatement. Curious if you happen to know any contractors in the area that you’d trust to fix the job? Appreciate it!

Hey Chris Mike here from vivid painting. I’m new to the painting industry as a business owner, but I painted for multiple companies. Any advice for someone starting new as a business owner in this industry

Hi Chris. I’ve got white vinyl windows that I want to paint. I will be getting white siding so I wanted to paint the windows black. Well, I spoke to my local SW store and they said I can NOT paint black as it will warp. What is the closest (vinyl safe) color to black that I can use that won’t warp my windows?

Taking a shot here you might have a suggestion. I just built some cabinets/bookshelves. I spray primed them to prep for spraying the finish paint.

While I was spraying one side, I got air in the line and it shot the paint out in a big streak. I waited till it was dry and used my orbital and sanded it all smooth with 120. The streak is unrecognizable and blended in with the rest of the primer.

My issue is the primer on that side that i sanded is super smooth now. Almost glass like. I think the orbital sanded it and almost buffed it with the dust on there.

I’m worried it’s too smooth for my topcoat now. I think I should just scratch sand it by hand with a 120 grit sponge or something.

What do you think? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!

Hi Chris - I am painting a fireplace surround/mantel that is made of raw MDF material. What type of primer you would recommend for a latex topcoat? Thank you for your time!

Chris, hope all is well. I have been supporting you for years, and still do. Hopefully, you review the NEW Gooseneck brushes for your approval to a 5 Star. You gave the Gooseneck in the past a 4?, because of the metal ferrule? We as professional painters don't look at this. We look at the filaments. I think you made a mistake. We all do Would you agree as you are a professional. Your reviews show 4.8 all 5 stars? so, I think in all fairness you shoul give the Goosenecks a 5 Star. It is a win, win situation for everyone. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me at 1-613-294-9933 Don Sincennes Thank you for your time. Cheers! The Gooseneck Guy!

Chris, their has not been one negative comment of the metal ferrule Goosenecks since it's existence. I have always supported you! I wait to see your decision, Thank you! Amazon has it 4.8 and will reach a 5 soon! One review is being questioned. Go see Gooseneck 80832. Don Sincennes

Chris, you mentioned this on your video, metal ferrule with over 80,000 views. Comments were all positive and NO ONE mentioned anything about the metal ferrule?

Look at all Gooseneck reviews on your site! All thumbs up! There must be in total 100 comments. All positive! I will wait patently for your approval Goosenecks 5 Stars!. Kind regards! Don Sincennes

Actually, I would prefer to speak to you on the phone! Don

My question is I just had the popcorn removed and had the entire ceiling skimmed and sanded and there’s 2 coats of primer/surfacer there are a lot of shadows when the lights aren’t on if I have a true level 4 ceiling if I spray USG Tuff Hide primer/ceiling would this level out the ceiling ? how do I remedy this. When the lights are on the ceiling looks great.

Hi Chris! We just bought a new home, abt 3k sq feet. The entire thing needs to be painted. We are going to do it ourselves and wondering if you thought spraying the whole thing or part of it would be superior in finish and save time vs rolling/brushing? We will be doing it ourselves. Thx!

So do recommend me using the USG Sheetrock Tuff Hide primer/surfacer ? Your should Cross Hatch Benjamin Moore Waterbourne ceiling paint 508 ? Do you think it would be overkill if I used the USG Tuff Hide first and then top coated it with the Benjamin Moore Waterborne ? When I pull the blinds in my condo I have water views from the lake so there’s lots of natural light so I get that Glancing effect at certain times of day. The shadows are driving me nuts

HEA 619 I have a 500 sq ft ceiling. Thanks for all your help

Could you please advise the best primer and pint to paint Formica cabinets . My GFs dad was a cabinet maker and he made them from Formica

Hi I took a painting cabinet job and I’m going to do it for the first time starting today. Do you have any videos teaching how to do it using your technique? Best spray machine for painting cabinets and any other info on the job? Thank you so much God bless! 🙏🏼

Hey Chris,
I'm planning on painting the exterior of my home which is stucco, the previous owners painted it, less than 5 years ago and I don't see any cracks or peeling. It is kind of an orange color. Would you recommend priming (after cleaning and prepping) it before we spray? We are looking at going with a light grey color

Great! I will check out the paint. would sherwin williams duration work as well? my wifes company gets a discount from them.

CABINET ORANGE PEEL HELP. I am painting my kitchen cabinets. (First time using a sprayer) I am using a graco 360 variable speed. I have orange peel on my test cabinet. I used the narrow tip at lowest speed. Spraying SW extreme bond primer. Any tips on fixing it before spraying my 2 coats of emerald urethane?

Also thank in advance!

Hey Chris. My Florida house flooded out in Hurricane Helene. All new drywall is hung and I’m going to spray the primer with Graco X17. Looking for a primer recommendation. Mildew resistant and good from a sprayer. Ps I stayed up way too late last night watching your channel

Dear Chris, I hope you are well. Thank you for your past videos and instruction, which were very helpful re. doing my wall painting and semi gloss oil trim/ doors etc. I am about to continue with some more, but have a question for you on another topic. Can you recommend or suggest a Youtube instructor for the laying of stone floor tiles? Regards Newell

Interesting, what would you suggest as a primer? That’s what everyone else has suggested to including SW.

Hi Chris, is it best to paint the walls first or do the trimmings/skirting boards?

Hi Chris. I'm loving your Online Epoxy (garage floor) Course. I'm a multiple home-owner, but not in the paint/construction business (I work in healthcare IT). For consumers like me, can you please recommend consumer-equivalent products to the Rust-o-leum products that you mentioned in your course and use for your garage floors? I'm having trouble finding the pro products you mentioned:
- Epoxy-shell 500 (550?) (Primer)

- Epoxy-Shell 1000 (1st coat)

- Poly-shell 8000 2nd Coat (clear poly-aspartic)
Or if you could point me to a rep, that would be great. Thanks! -Jay.

I love using your caulking trick to paint a straight line, but if you have to do two coats, do you just retape again or can you leave the tape on long enough for the wall to dry then add the second coat and remove the tape question

I’m looking to have my ceiling painted sprayed I’m think about using Benjamin Moore Waterbourne 508 have you used this product if so what do you think. I’m looking for a dead flat can you recommend a product. Thanks

Hey Chris—-

Do people apply German shemear to Ext stone in Idaho?

Love your Chanel. Chris we have recently purchaed a home with a red metal roof. Finding colors to paint the house has been excruciating . Pulling my hair out trying to decide. Do you have any suggestions before I am completely BALD?

Good morning! My wife wants to paint the interior of the garage door since we turned our garage into a playroom for the kids. How do I paint it all black without ruining the functionality of the door?

Hi Chris! Asking you as a pro that uses the Control Max…I have the small Control Max 1650 backpack sprayers. Would you recommend/use the Wagner HEA inline filter on the Control Max spray gun? I see from your videos you have your hose or whip directly connected to the HEA spray gun without any filter attachment.

Hi Chris, thanks for all you do for the painting world. Do you have a step-by-step process for starting your own painting company?

With the Premier brush, do I need to pre-wet it before painting?

Also, this is my first time painting a door. Do you have any tips or tricks for painting a door with window panes? I’ll be using both a brush and a roller.
