Lots of good reviews on the Ryobi brad nailer, and cordless/(no air hose) is certainly very appealing.

Pneumatic nailers are still a little smaller than the cordless ones, so a little better for getting into tight corners when doing baseboard (inside corners under cabinet toe kicks, etc).

The pneumatic tools are also just so inexpensive once you have the compressor. I thought I mainly needed a brad nailer, but the 1/4" stapler has been very handy as well. Just replaced the carpeting on the cat tree, and the stapler made it a breeze. The Harbor Freight 2-in-1 nailer/stapler has poor reviews so I'd avoid it, but the separate tools have been great. I had a bad experience with the HF staples, but Dewalt staples in the HF stapler have worked well.

18ga brad nails are fine for most trim, but I feel like they are just barely enough for baseboards. I just got a 16ga nailer and I like them much better for baseboard. I feel like 18ga is perfect for light trim up to 1/4" or 3/8" thick, and 16ga is better for 1/2" or thicker, especially if it is dense like MDF.

I really like Flexzilla air hose; very soft and flexible with no kinking. Also put a swivel connector on the guns.

Pancake compressor will definitely not be enough for an HVLP sprayer. Would work for an airbrush, or possibly a small sprayer like the Critter spray gun.

Compressor can be pretty noisy and annoying indoors. Either look at the quiet ones like California Air Tools or HF's new quiet ones, or just buy 100ft of hose so you can leave the compressor outside while you work inside.

You may want at least 1 new one. You may be able to get life back into those old brushes with mineral spirits but I've never had much luck reviving them to a point where I am confident about the outcome. I would pick up something like this- http://www.amazon.com/Pro-Extra-2-1-Angular-Glide-Brush/dp/B000BQYH3O/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1413396508&sr=1-1&keywords=paint+brushes and take good care of it. That said, if these are the tools they are providing, then a perfect job might not be what they care about. Try cleaning them and see how they work before buying something that isn't necessary. You might find they work well enough for the task at hand.

I have recently purchased my first home with my fiancée, and like all of you, have an enormous list of projects we'd like to do. I am fairly handy and am prepared to tackle any project (with supervision on electrical). All that being said, I have always used other people's tools when working on projects, so I don't have many of my own. I have a budget and would like to purchase all of my tools on Black Friday/Cyber Monday to get the best bang for my buck. I'd like your advice on which tools are the best for my budget.

We are planning on renovating the master bed, bath, and closet, kitchen, mudroom, and the laundry room. I also plan on making a kitchen table, coffee table, cabinets, dresser, etc. The first project is the laundry room and mudroom, which will require tile, built-ins, cabinets, and replacing washer/dryer. I have a tool budget of $5k-7.5k (ideally staying on the lower end) and would like your thoughts on my equipment list.

If you've used any of this below, what did you think? Are there any cheaper or better alternatives I should consider?

I like those brushes because they’re cheap. You can trim them to whatever shape you need and toss them when you’re done. The cleaner is just IPA I think, but it will evaporate out and draw out a lot of moisture in he process. The spray bottle is nice, you can blast out a lot of FOD like that corrosion (before and after brushing) in the process.

Obvious safety would be a very well vented room away from flames, you’ll be spraying a flammable liquid. Be smart about it, read labels on whatever you buy.

Don’t get rough on anything, those pins WILL break if you do. Brush it like you would your kindergartener’s teeth: to clean not scrub with some knuckle.

Depending on your climate, you could do any number of things to make an oven, it just needs to be “warm” by oven standards. I went to YouTube and found more crap than good material... not much help on there. It’s made to go in a car, so keep that in mind.

In Texas it gets plenty warm enough, just keep it out of direct sunlight and park in the sun all day with the sunroof cracked.

I'm considering plasti dipping my entire car as well. Me and a buddy ran the numbers the other night and I can't remember it all, but it seemed really reasonable. I think buying the spray gun will be one of the more expensive parts, but once I have it, I have it. And then if someone else decides they want theirs done, I can do it for them for a slight cost ;)

It does look the same as far as I can tell. From what I read, plasti dip has a little rougher of a finish, where this doesn't. But I can't say for sure because I've never used the plasti dip.

Yes, I just used a spray can for the rims, I suggest buying one of the contraptions that you put on the can that makes spraying easier though. My fingers went numb 20 minutes into doing it. It's been over 48 hours now and I still have no feeling in either of my index fingers. I'm not exaggerating in the least. http://www.amazon.com/Can-Gun1-2012-Premium-Aerosol-Spray/dp/B002EQEE82 Something like that is what I mean.

I'm thinking it will hold up very well, there's one spot I need to redo. It's where they put the wheel weights on the outside of the rim. One of the wheels didn't take to it well so it peeled a tiny bit. Just going to cut the section out and spray it again, it's only about an inch long.

A friend plasti dipped his motocross rims, apparently sprayed it right over dirt and everything, his has been on there for 3-4 years now and he says it still looks great. So take from that what you will, but it should last a long time if you do it well. Even if you have to touch a few things up after a year, it's cheap and easy to do!

I bought a used Fuji Mini-Mite 3 via CL and it's been an absolute joy to use. I realize that's a little better quality than you're looking for but as long as you're not trying to vaporize super thick latex with a cheap unit most clear woodworking finishes should spray fine with more economical units.

Edit: This Earlex is considered to be pretty good for the price and is a huge step up from a plastic gun.

I use a Grex TG3 with an Aspire Pro compressor. I hear good things about the Badger Krome Renegade if you want a lower priced airbrush but I love the pistol grip for long sessions and the compressor is the best i've ever used and I find it fairly priced for how awesome it is.

I’ve used this spray gun from amazon to do a fence, a shed and a few art projects for Halloween. This thing is amazing. I am by no means a pro, but it did a perfect job, and it’s easy to use, low overspray and super easy to clean.

Meta-hobby! I've only been back into collecting for about 3 months. I have about 60 at the moment.

My washing method (3rd time I posted this today...I should probably just make it a post :) is as follows:

• Tergi-Kleen: http://www.amazon.com/TergiKleen-Alcohol-free-Tergitol-based-Concentrate-Cleaning/dp/B019YI38Z2/
  
• paint edger: http://www.amazon.com/Shur-Line-500-Premium-Paint-Edger/dp/B0001MQI9E/
  
• some large pans (I ended up getting some oil change pans for $2.50 each from WalMart)
  
• rubber pads (large rubber washers work great, as would small squares of rubber)
  
• distilled water
  
• lint free towels
  
  The technique:
  
  Pan 1 has the water, tergikleen (just a few drops) and rubber washers. Pan 2 has clean water for rinsing
  
  I fill pan 1 just deep enough to cover the rubber pads and the top of a record when placed in.
  
  I then place in a record, submerge it, then take the paint pad and do a few laps in one direction, then a few in the other. The rubber pads allow you to wash the record right in the pan without hurting the underside of the record. It also prevents the LP from 'sticking' to the pan due to suction.
  
  Flip the record over, repeat.
  
  Give it a bath in the rinse water.
  
  Dry with the towels.
  
  Prop up on a shelf to finish air drying.
  
  Works great.

Honestly, don't bother with either of those compressors. You REALLY want one with a tank. For precision painting, the tank ensures an even air flow, while the kind that don't have a reserve tank sometimes can't keep up with consistent spray.

I have this one: http://www.amazon.com/AIRBRUSH-COMPRESSOR--Airbrush-Published-Exclusively/dp/B001738DXU/ref=sr_1_1?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1449878332&sr=1-1&keywords=airbrush+compressor+with+tank

YES, it's more expensive, but honestly if you want to do it, I highly suggest you do it right. Had several friends buy those starter kits and they always wound up replacing both the compressor and brush it comes with, thus spending more.

Speaking of brush, those brushes are pretty bad. They aren't precision machined, so they use O-Rings all over the place. Those are hard to clean and a point of failure.

I have two airbrushes that I adore: an Iwata Revolution and a Grex (I forget the model)

You have a few different kinds of grips: a pistol grip and a pen grip. I have one of each and use them for different applications, but have found that I mostly prefer the Grex.

I think this is what I have: http://www.amazon.com/Grex-Tritium-TG3-Trigger-Gravity-Airbrush/dp/B002XQ2K5W/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1449878477&sr=8-2&keywords=Grex+Airbrush

Someone can probably recommend a cheaper alternative-

I recommend a gravity feed. Side feed and vacuum feed are both more of a pain to clean, and don't work so well with small amounts of paint for miniature work.

Anyways, just my opinions and observations. YMMV!

I always wash the walls, if they have any gloss you should use a deglosser. Let the walls dry then as others have said you will want to come back with a primer or two and a top coat of whatever color you want.

A few tips...

Wrap blue tape around your roller cover and pull off any lint that could come off in your paint (not really necessary but makes cheap roller covers more like the more expensive ones from purdy).

I just bought one of these, just put the paint on the pad with a brush you will need to get the pad soaked at first then a little dab every few feet or so. Roll the rollers along the ceiling and you will have a nice 2" or so cut line around the room. I just did a small room and had the whole ceiling line done in about 10-15 minutes.

Get yourself a good roller tray and use disposable liners, this makes cleanup easy.

You never know when you'll find buggers in your new paint (I'm looking at you SW Duration) so save yourself the hassle and strain your paint.

Don't use your paint can as a cut bucket. Open it up and pour out what you need then seal it back up. Speaking of such, these work great on latex paint.

Awesome.. thanks for that info, much appreciated. I may try the grille swap myself using this guide.. I have done stuff like this on my old accord and altima but heard its trickier on these cars.

But thanks for the guide, I am going to look it over when I get out of work.

They sell these handles you can put over the plastidip can to give it a more even coating and helps the back and forth motion as well as your finger from pressing on the spray tip.

https://www.amazon.com/Can-Gun1-2012-Premium-Aerosol-Spray/dp/B002EQEE82/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1466530359&sr=8-6&keywords=plastidip

Works really well and can use it for other spray bottles too.

Def keep me updated with pics and thanks again!

A brush that I would highly recommend is the Wooster Shortcut Angle Sash Paintbrush, 2-Inch They're very inexpensive but in my experience are very good quality brushes. I've used it recently for painting throughout my house and it makes cutting into edges along the ceiling a breeze. It has a flexible handle that makes gripping it at weird angles easy and good quality bristles that really make it tricky to spot where the brush was used vs. a roller. Another bonus, they're small enough to fit inside a ziplock bags to store when you want to hit a stopping point for the day and come back later to finish painting without cleaning the brush!

I'd skip all the brushes and rollers and get a simple HVLP sprayer. I used the Wagner HVLP MAX with excellent results. Used it for both primer and finish coats. I highly recommend a Waterbourne Alkyd paint, such as BM Advanced.

A cheap solution to the paint pyramids are some 2x4s with a few finish nails sticking out.. you prob already have this stuff laying around.

I see you already ordered new hinges, but pending what year your cabinets are, going to a Euro hinges, really helps modernize the look.. tho it can be a matter of opinion. Good luck!

I have a Wagner that’s very similar to the one you’re looking at and actually really like it a lot. I’m just a weekend warrior, so it works very well for me. If you plan on using this thing daily, then you can’t go cheap. Get a better sprayer. But for quick, smooth, and easy painting at a good price, you can’t beat these sprayers.

As far as clean up, I use hot water immediately after I’m done and have never had issues. You’ll need to take it apart and use a toothbrush too. You may need to clean it with diluted paint thinner every now and then, so keep some handy. And learn how to thin paints. It makes a world of a difference once you start using the correct viscosity for the paint/stain/finish you’re using.

I fought with several sprayers, and kept paying more and more with no luck. Then bought this cheap piece o' crap to spray some stain on a fence (figure it'd be single us) - and it's amazing. Love using it, cheap, simple to use and clean. Most important, sprays great. https://www.amazon.com/HomeRight-C800766-C900076-Painting-Projects/dp/B003VKFDEO/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?keywords=paint+sprayer&qid=1572931296&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExVDRTQjUwOEVEQU0wJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMjUxNDUwMzI2M0tIQU4yME5ORSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwOTU3MTQ1MVVKTTlQNjNDOURQNyZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

>They usually keep a pretty thorough record of everything you buy if you need to re-order another can later on and the goddamn label got covered up with paint before you thought to take a picture of it.

Pro-tip: spend the $3 on a lid and this paint on the side is a non-issue. For the longest time I thought it was just another gimmick but they totally work and are super easy to clean.

I wrote up this big to-do about how I clean my records, and not sure many people saw it. Pasting it below because I think this hands-down, THE BEST way to clean records.



***



I've cleaned over a thousand of records with this. Highly recommend!!

http://cratedigging.co/13/9832/product_review__squeaky_clean_mark_iii_record_cleaning_machine

One pass to suck up loose dirt/dust
Second pass with distilled water + solution
Third pass distilled water only
Flip record and repeat
Solution is the same that the library of congress uses to clean their records. 20 drops per gallon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019YI38Z2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_7WtMAbSQYZ36W

The included brush with the Mark III wears out quickly. Buy these at Home Depot and cut them in half. I use one for the solution, another for water.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00004Z4H2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_MYtMAbMG8T3MW

Solution and water can be applied with these squeeze bottles. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E0CZPNA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_L2tMAbRS7PV87

This cleaning works fantastic for 99%of my records. I can clean a record in 3 minutes. For dirtier records I let them sit in the solution for 5-10 minutes. Stubborn dirt is spot treated with a soft toothbrush.

I put the whole shebang on a storage tub lid (upside down) so liquid that falls off collects in the plastic lid. And when it pools up from lots of cleaning, use a turkey baster to suck up the excess liquid. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H9M6Q46/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_V.tMAbHB8KGDE




My vacuum https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003M2F7NI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_NeuMAb188RH6K

Painting contractor here.

100% do this task yourself. Ive been on another thread talking about the Wagner sprayer with some very unhappy customers. I would advise against it. You will 100% want to spray your fence. Just labor alone you'll be so thankful you did. If you choose to brush and roll, assuming your fence is decent sized, it will be a long task and you'll be miserable 1/2 the way through.

My advice...2 options

1. Rent a sprayer from Home Depot. Spray your fence with that big sprayer you rented in the late morning and be enjoying lemonade by late afternoon.
   
2. Purchase a modest priced Graco sprayer. Graco is a leading industry brand. They make homeowner quality sprayers in the $200-$300 price range. These sprayers aren't designed to be used heavily, like by a contractor. General life span is 30-100 gallons depending on if you keep it cleaned and filled with pump solution between uses and how thick of products you are running through it. For many homeowners that is long enough to last them 5-20 years however. I'd recommend this one for a homeowner in the market for a sprayer.

   Prior to any painting, look up Paint Life TV on Youtube. He is formerly known as "The Idaho Painter". This guy is the #1 painting channel on youtube and has 600+ videos. He has plenty of videos on spraying. Watch a few of his videos before you get started. How to prime the sprayer, how to clean after use. How to actually spray properly. Get a bit comfortable watching exactly what you're about to do before you get the sprayer in your yard that morning and things will run smooth for you.
   
   Hope this helps.

I painted 4 dozen mason jars. I used chalk board spray paint it worked great. 2 coats was best. Also one of these things helps a lot.

50/50 mix of Acetone and ATF beats damn near anything. If it's really stuck, hit it with a torch first and let it sit for about 15 mins.

ATF is filled with all kinds of detergents and dispersants. The Acetone thins it down to let it flow better and help it wick into the threads. I keep it in a spray can like this and use it all the time. It's cheap as all get out too.

After that there are a lot of things to try, In no particular order.

6 point wrench and a sharp strike, like with a hammer.

6 point wrench and strong constant force.

try tightening it first, sometimes you can break the bond that way

heat the nut with a torch, and cool the bolt rapidly. I've used a can of dust off turned upside down to cool.

strike the head with a hammer.

Breaker bar with a length of pipe slid over the handle. anyway to increase your leverage.

So just in case you are looking to try this I actually bought this at my local Sherwin-Williams thinking it would be a great alternative to spraying and it's just OK. Like others have said it had the same limitations as most spray paint with the advantage of being able to use custom colors. If you have any specific questions let me know

latex paint works best with an airless sprayer, but those will run you $300+.

I picked up a wagner https://www.amazon.com/Wagner-0518080-Control-Spray-Sprayer/dp/B003PGQI48/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1469559938&sr=8-3&keywords=paint+sprayer

works ok for such things. it cant quite vaporize the paint, even after thinning with some floetrol and water. But it works better than a brush.

Its certainly faster, but it does waste a fair amount of paint.

Still, I hate painting, Ive gotten my money's worth IMO. Though with the amount Ive used it, I wish i had gotten an airless sprayer.

seems to me one of these would make life easier as well. not sure if this specific model will fit on the can you choose but it looks like you'd make nicer passes with this than the can by itself.

Hello!!! [This] (http://www.amazon.com/Shur-Line-500-Premium-Paint-Edger/dp/B0001MQI9E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1369052429&sr=8-1&keywords=paint+corner) is the BEST thing I bought when I was painting. If you're going to do a lot of painting... I highly recommend!

Good question, and it pains me a bit that I have a small box of unused tools that were purchased when I began. I'm sure I missed a few things, but here you go:

• Lamp I love this thing, and it's silly how much it improved my craft.
  
• Utility knife (Stanley) with many replacement blades. I flip then toss these frequently.
  
• Shovel knife
  
• Beveler
  
• Burnishers
  
• Microfiber clothes
  
• Granite block
  
• Stitching pony (handmade and based upon http://www.instructables.com/id/3rd-Hand-Leather-Stitching-Clamp/)
  
• Awl
  
• Diamond Awl
  
• Wing Divider
  
• Pliers
  
• Craft scissors
  
• Thread snips
  
• Bone folder
  
• Mallet
  
• Cobbler hammer
  
• Ruler
  
• Cutting mat
  
• Detail brushes
  
• Needles
  
• Tokonole
  
• Glue
  
• Glue brushes
  
• 50/50 neatsfoot oil and beeswax (double-boiled)
  
• Heat gun
  
• Ritza Tiger thread
  
• Chisels I use these as pricking irons because they leave a massive hole
  
• Dremel
  
• Bulldog clips
  
  If links weren't provided then I already had the item.

I have this sprayer and absolutely love it. Its sprays very evenly, painted the exterior of my house with it. Taping up is the hardest part when dealing with sprayers! My only complaint is that the hose is very stiff and is a bit short but I put the sprayer in my yard cart and pulled it with me around the house. Cleaning is really easy as well, just attach the garden hose to it (mine came with the adapter) and run it for a few minutes.

This would be a handy add-on!

I loved this article. It was definitely bizarre and the picture is adorable. Somehow a baby anteater was born even though there was no male in the enclosure.

How bizarre

Have a great day!

I LOVE mine (imposter model apparently). a fabricator buddy turned me onto them. We both keep acetone in them for cleaning. So nice, so, so nice. And a decent price for them too, not out of reach for an amateur

YES. I know that I'm going to get downvoted to hell because everyone on here says not to do it. And I don't have any experience using a professional sprayer.

BUT, I do have this Wagner sprayer with it's own mini-compressor (not attached to the gun, this is important) and it's awesome! I've used it to paint my whole house (interior). I've had very minimal (if any) overspray. I just tape off the molding and lay some paper down where the wall meets the floor and go to town. I actually bought one of those trim tools someone else suggested and add some Floetrol or water to make it easier to spray.

For 100 bucks, it's been a worthwhile investment. Taping off takes the most time...I find that I can paint a room in about 30min. It really makes up time in the cutting in, rolling, rolling, rolling, dipping the roller back in the pan, rolling some more. You just move your arm and spray until the container is empty.


Edit: All of you guys are pussies. There are a bunch of stay at home mommy bloggers who use paint sprayers and do just fine.

Really, you get what you pay for, but in the end I'd still recommend doing it yourself. I feel that in this day and age we rely so heavily on others to do things for us (paid or unpaid) that we end up losing basic knowledge of simple things. I do home remodeling and handyman work for a living and though I'm getting paid to do the work, sometimes it just amazes me to get paid for doing some of the most simple of tasks. And when it come to painting, cutting lines, double (or more) coats and making sure you don't get paint on the floors is really the only issues. That can be solved by patience and careful planning. And personally, I use the edger plus to cut the lines. Follow the instructions and maybe do two coats, you'll be fine.

Guitar manufacturers typically use full-on professional spray equipment (such as HVLP) to do bursts, not airbrushes. For the home builder, an airbrush (like a Badger, Paasche or something) will work fine though. You can do hand-wiped bursts with dyes and stains, but not opaque paints; those must be done by spraying.

Which one is "better" just depends on what you want to do. Any method can be used by home builders and modders, but if you've never done it before it would be wise to practice on scrap wood first. Note that if you don't have a professional spray booth or even an airbrush and compressor, you can use PreVal sprayers, which are basically spray cans that you screw a jar onto the bottom of; the jar contains your paint of choice. PreVals can get kind of expensive (about $9 each, and you'll need a few for one guitar), so they're better for one-off projects; if you plan on doing a lot of painting, you'd be much better off investing in an air compressor and sprayer of some sort.

here is my HLVP...the reviews are probably better than I can do. I like it.

whether or not its worth it???? YES.....spraying the corners and fronts was sooooo much easier than using a brush....in fact, I cant imagine using brushes for this

• keep your car tires properly inflated
  
• use a wand to blow out your computer
  
• use a wand to clean out the filters from your vacuum cleaners
  
• get a simple spray kit and use it to apply paint, or other finishes rather than buying cans of spray paint, etc.
  
• air nailers are great if you are doing any sort of wood working, or interior trim installation.
  
  

These: http://www.amazon.com/Shur-Line-01500C-Handi-Painter/dp/B00004Z4H2

They sell them in tons of different shapes and sizes, but they are all sorta the same thing. It's a foam base with fuzzyness to it.

A wad of wool works really well too, like a polishing pad for your car.

I'm mainly interested in the image with all of the labeled components.

He also mentions an alternate source for the pole outside of the photogrammetry industry. I'm assuming that he's using a "painter's pole" style handle with a telescoping design like this one and then adding a 1/4-20 thread to 3/4-5 ACME adapter like this one

If you are serious about clean brushes, this tool will do the job:

https://www.amazon.com/Purdy-140755200-Cleaning-Roller-Spinner/dp/B00F29A7Y8

It does a great job of stripping the paint off each of the bristles.

You can use one of these, very helpful. I wait for it to start kicking and then I run squeegee over it to saturate with some new fresh resin. That keep threads straight and gets the coverage you are looking for.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007VQRHJS/ref=pd_aw_fbt_86_img_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=158KPRH5M2NKRBZAGBWK

More about preparation. If you're truly going to replace the floors than don't even bother with drop cloths. All you'll really need to do sponge your walls down with a damp sponge and some TSP cleaner.

First thing first - take off all your electric faceplates, vent covers, light fixtures, everything. Don't think you can paint around them or over them. It will come out looking bad if you don't.

I'm not one to use painters tape. I find it takes longer and I'm often disappointed with the results.

Get 5 gallon buckets of primer and ceiling paint. It would probably be more efficient to do all the priming first, then all the ceilings, then the walls, then the trim, then the touch up. But you're probably less likely to burn out and it will be more rewarding taking it a room at a time.

First room you'll learn a lot of the tricks. So pick a room you're not going to be in often. Slap primer on your walls - go crazy. Hit the ceiling, it's no big deal. While that's drying roll on your ceilings. You can be a little reckless here too. Hit the walls with the roller, you'll clean those up later.

Now that the ceiling is done you should see if primer on walls is dried. If so then you can start painting your walls. I like to roll on first and then come back and cut in with a brush. A good brush for cutting in makes all the difference. http://www.amazon.com/Wooster-Brush-Q3211-2-Shortcut-Paintbrush/dp/B002YC06T2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1463669852&sr=8-1&keywords=rubber+handle+paint+brush

Since you're painting everything anyways you should freshen up your trim work. Use the good brush to do that.

After everything dries you can go back in for touchups.

When I painted my entire house I would do 1 room a day. More than that and I started to burn out. By the time you're finished you'll be a pro and will see all your mistakes in the early rooms. But don't worry you'll be the only one that notices them, and you'll never feel like painting again. :)

> Also if anyone has tips on how to make an alcohol based dye more consistent overall I'd love to hear them.

I've primarily used Fiebing's oil-based die, but with that I've found using a Preval sprayer has given fantastic even colour without splotches or visible gradients.

Yellow Frog tape is meant for delicate surfaces, like uncured paint. They still recommend a minimum of 24 hours before applying tape.

I've never used one, but I used to sell tons of these:
https://www.amazon.com/Shur-Line-2000874-Premium-Paint-Edger/dp/B0001MQI9E

You'll still want to wait as long as possible for the first color to dry before running this tool up against it. If they work as well as people tell me you won't need tape.

For soldering preparation, I typically use alcohol with q-tips for cleaning the contacts, and alcohol with tissue for wiping the wires and the solder.

For clean-up, I use acid brushes with the bristles trimmed down to 1/4 to 1/2 in or so dipped in alcohol. It works absolute wonders and takes care of flux like nothing else. https://www.amazon.com/RAM-PRO-Flexible-Horsehair-Bristle-Tubular/dp/B01LXNQW9W/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_sspa?keywords=acid+brush&qid=1562073005&s=gateway&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1

http://www.bombingscience.com/graffiti-shop.htm

I had ordered a grab bag of tips from them awhile back on a kick to try my hand at painting with spray cans. When I went to dip I just found one that fit and sprayed fat.

Buy that. I have one and it's awesome. Use that with lacquer from Sherwin Williams. It was a total game changer for me. I may never brush on a finish again.

I painted my stairwell this weekend and used this. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0001MQI9E. worked great.

Edit: I also used a 10 or 12 ft extension.

I have found that getting a spray can trigger makes a huge difference for me. It changes the angle at which I hold the can to something more natural for me and the trigger makes pressing the spray button smoother and more consistent.

So like this with this and one of these ?!

I recently bought and used this to build some cabinets for my utility room. It worked pretty well once I figured out the settings/paint consistency.

Ultimately, you are buying a $100 paint gun, more likely than not it will not work perfectly. I will say I was pleased with my purchase though.

Thank you much for this advice. I am reading him all these comments. I hadn't known about skin injection. That doesn't not sound good.

Hey, would skin injection be a problem with a sprayer like this? This isn't a high pressure sprayer right?

I have this one and it has not only been easy to use, but has payed for itself in labor, and time savings after just a couple uses. I highly recommend it.

save yourself some money and replace the bulb with an LED model, or get one of these light bulb kits and a very long fiberglass pole.

We've done a bunch of furniture with latex paint with this guy. I think I also add some Floetrol the paint to help it go on smoothly. And you need an air compressor.

If you can't get an airbrush anytime soon, something like this can improve your use of a spray can.

Spin them clean with one of these

This tool helped a lot for edging in our house. We didn't even have to tape for it. Just kept a damp rag on hand for quickly wiping up mistakes.

It does need an actual hard edge to work well though. If your baseboards end in a soft curvy finish, you'll probably still want to tape them.

https://www.amazon.com/Purdy-140755200-Roller-Spinner-Cleaning/dp/B00F29A7Y8
this is the one I own, makes quick work of clean up.

Instead of PB Blaster, try ATF mixed with acetone. I used that while doing mine and it made the work much easier than PB Blaster did.

I just pour the mix in [This] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0035FH906/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and shake before I spray. It really helps with really tight and stuck on bolts.

I've got the Earlex HV5500. It's a bit on the loud side compared to more expensive setups, but it works well. Completely unscientific measurement -- it's not as loud as my shop vac, but it's not quiet.

I primed it first did two coats and sanded in between coats then did two coats of paint. I used a spray gun. HomeRight C800971.A Super Finish... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071X9FZ7R?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

We used to order it in the 55 gallon drums at my old shop.

Pump some in to a SureShot container, pressurize it with the air chuck and you're good to go!

I was curious too, I think it might be this one: http://www.amazon.com/Wagner-0518080-Control-Spray-Sprayer/dp/B003PGQI48

No glossifer, just 6 cans of color. One can per wheel, and 2 for mudflaps.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00E975LQ8?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Though I did purchase the spray gun, and I highly recommend that. It worked amazingly well!

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002EQEE82?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

I've used Critter sprayers for over a decade. Hard to beat those things for reliability and ease of use.

I got it from Amazon — MR LONGARM 6618 6-Feet to 18-Feet Alumi Glass Extension Pole https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000C0144E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_xHpAQ51hYcLoZ

I was looking at this one. any thoughts?

Same item, but desktop site:
Shur-Line 500 Premium Paint Edger

Yup, OP needs one of these and one of these.

Or you could buy one of these for half the price and use a 5 gallon bucket. Hell of a lot easier to clean than that thing is, and fewer moving (and plastic) parts to break

I second cutting in sans tape. Get one or two of these and you'll never have to tape again. I found them locally at Ace Hardware. For some reason the rubber handle lets your wrist stay incredibly steady.

Hi guys,

I want to do some painting. Lots of painting.

In my house:

• most of the ceilings
  
  
• the living room
  
  
• kitchen
  
  
• both bathrooms
  
  
• two bedrooms
  
  
• a long hallway
  
  
• a few interior doors
  
  
• rear den/man-cave
  
  Outside:
  
  
• a short stucco wall that separates my neighbors' property and my own.
  
  I want to use a paint sprayer and hopefully use Behr Ultra Premium Plus (undiluted) where at all possible. My choices are the following sprayers:
  
  
• Wagner 0529010 Flexio 590 Indoor/Outdoor Hand-held Sprayer Kit
  
  
• Wagner 0518080 Control Spray Max HVLP Sprayer
  
  
• Wagner 0529029 Flexio 990 Direct Feed Sprayer
  
  
• Wagner 0529021 Flexio 890 HVLP Paint Sprayer Station
  
  
• Wagner 0529017 PaintReady Station Hvlp Paint Sprayer 0529017 PaintReady Station Hvlp Paint Sprayer
  
  Paint for ceiling(s):
  
  
• KILZ Color-Change Stainblocking Interior Ceiling Paint, White, 1-gallon
  
  Which should I get, given the scope of the work? I may choose to roll the ceilings (I hate rolling and I suck at it), but I want to spray everything else.

Why not get something like this and then use mason jars?

Everything is stored in glass and seals, plus you can use it to spray.

Pretty standard tools if you do a lot of painting. I bought one of these guys when I had to repaint a couple house interiors. There's more work in the setup (taping off, preventing overspray), but man...once you get going it's damn fast.

She's outside, not worried about overspray, and can go really quick.

One day I'll bite the bullet and upgrade! Right now I'm using this little guy: https://www.amazon.com/Critter-Spray-Products-22032-Siphon/dp/B00006FRPJ

Which works decent enough but adjusting the pressure takes some patience.

Tip - you can write it as [item](URL) and it will come out like this - Cheap piece of crap. No more ugly URLs to look at.

> Most importantly you should invest in a spray handle because your hand is going to get tired without one and you risk bad coats.

Can't recommend this highly enough. Just dipped my rims this past weekend, and two days later, my finger is still completely numb from spraying all that plastidip.

Planning to redip at least one of the rims (probably two), and ordered this sprayer from Amazon for the next time (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002EQEE82/), after my hands have recovered!
