We/I use the Graco PC series guns. Top of the line spray guns. Nice, comfortable, easy pull trigger that can be adjusted from a 2 to a 4 finger trigger. They also make a nice compact one for spraying cabinets. I get them for about $200 with 50' of hose. Those work fine but don't have a swivel...

I may take you up on that. I'll give it a few days and see if anything comes up.

I would already have something if I had the room to haul it.

Noticed my wife's front shock is blown on her 03 ltz400. Anybody upgraded and have a set of trx450r or 05+ ltz400 front shocks laying around?

Got my 12 year olds watching it now actually. They are 3 seasons in. Son likes it. Daughter is constantly asking what's going on. Just like her mother.

I'm definitely telling my twins this joke. But not for another 10 years.

Same here. The one that does all their chores without grief gets my change... I also keep $7-$10 of quarters in every vehicle for coin op car washes.

I disagree. Patch a level 5 slick finish wall and try to paint it with a paint and primer in one product. Even a level 1. It will always flash. Every rep will tell you "it's paint and primer in one and you can run it by its self but it's always best to us the correct primer for your...

Depends on what your painting. Tons of scenarios.

Oil Kilz isn't what it used to be. It's barely acceptable as a stain blocker. Some stains it will take 2 coats of it to kill a stain. It's not the do all primer it was 10 years ago.

Some roller tips.. If you do deep six a 9" roller nap in a 5ver. Grab the end of the nap with the end of the frame. Then gently tap the top of the frame to pull it on. It will suck the nap up the frame. Cardboard core naps usually suck. A good plastic core lambs wool nap is the best.

Spin or kick out. Kicking out is hard on them if your not careful.

I'll add to the brushes. Good brush is key. And the right shape for what your doing helps also. We clean our brushes everyday day. Sometimes 3x a day. I use a wire brush, a brush comb and lots of clean water. Spin it out a few times. Before the final rinse and spin I'll comb in some hair...

On some textures (if we are painting the cielings and walls) I'll run a tiny bead of caulk in the corner to cut in to. When I started in commercial painting we didn't tape unless we were spraying. If you couldn't cut a straight line on a metal door frame or ceiling you most likely won't make it...

Just to clarify. Penetrol is for conditioning oil base finish. Penetrol can also be used to seal raw/rusty metal.

We use them on occasion. Mostly on trim work when your looking for nice leveling or if it's hit as hell out and your brushing. Benjamin moore uses the Gen-Ex tint system. They require there special extender/conditioner. Sherwin williams materials we use Flow Trol. A few ounces of water stirred...

"The Cobblers kids go without shoes." Around here.

A good painter should be able to cut a ceiling line faster and better than taping. I have had guys do the tape and caulk or tape and paint to seal the tape on ceiling lines. It's just slow. Although I have had a few guys that could make perfectly straight lines on.door and window casings. We...

Being a professional painter for the last 30 years I'll add to 2FFs tips a bit.. Storage. The trick to left over paint lasting is the amount of paint to air in the can. A half gallon of paint in a gallon can wont last long at all. Sometimes I'll buy a clean quart to pour off into to to make...
