Is this rent-able equipment? I don't even know what it's called; paint hose. I'd appreciate never painting with a brush ever again!
cre8majic
Michelangelo used more than one color
Ikingg
Be glad he painted anything, being a turtle.
ScionTC2trd
No way this paint looks good up close, he's spraying too close and not counting coats and there's no way the corners are ok.
Stephiloo
Agreed. Needs to be a foot farther back from the wall, at least.
NothingToDoWithBakingBread
He also not pulling or turning away as he ends his arm movements. Which means he's leaving piles and edges of paint. Hope he rolls it soon.
HeadJamistan
Came to say this. Amateur mistake.
barnsandnobel
Yea painting with a shield indoors isnt a stellar idea if you want it to look good. Too much overspray
Elvishasnotleftthebuilding
There's no such thing as a perfectly straight wall. At some point paint will get past the guard.
JohnnyRehab69
I was thinking the same but hopefully 2nd coat with fix things up. Trim will be brushed by hand I assume.
TheRiffTheRaff
How does he do that little corner peice between the door frame and the molding?

This is what I want to know! Maybe by hand?
NotHarry2times4

Yup. And he's not pulling away as he starts or ends he arm movements. Which is where is is leaving heaps of paint. I hope he rolls it soon!

Excellent (the color change to green) is OC.

If you think he was into speedpainting, you may have misunderstood the message of Michelangelo
altho the medium of fresco needs to be done fairly quickly, to apply the charcoal cartoon and then the color to the plaster before it dries

Why did he get rid of the nice white though? :(
BalaclavaBob
He also used more than one colour.

Michaelangelo didn't work with a single color on a small wall with an air tool.
This guy is actually using an airless sprayer. No compressor.

Paint has gotten EXPENSIVE
msenjer
No shit. Easy $50 / gallon for good stuff
Ha. Depending on how you define “good stuff” you’re probably looking closer to $60-$100
BobaFettApproves
Should be cheaper by volume if you buy it in the larger buckets.
By between $1-$3 per gallon, so only about $5-$15 total savings.
It’s enough to get a couple burritos when the job is done. Which is nice.
septembermorn
I’m just trying to figure out how the poor guy can breathe with that mask on.
captainclutch
Probably much longer
TheMershedPerderder
He can breathe because he isn't a lil bitch.
He can’t, that’s why he’s painting so fast.

ChallengerDeep
I've met painters with obvious respiratory problems. Hopefully these respirators can prevent that, if it's work related.
IMayOrMayNotHaveTroubleFindingAndOrChoosingAUsername
Many filters can even filter gasses, so paint droplets (which are much bigger) are easily filtered out. Paint fumes need filtering of course
EndlessArmageddon
Gills
calis
That's not a mask. It's a respirator.
BeautifulSound
Poor thing
pugofstardock
Maybe he's not a weak American?
belortik
Those types of mask you actually do need to train your breathing.
DraxCleveland
???
No seriously have three of them and work with heaver duty ones as well, the hell is this breathing training you're talking about???
valen00
Been using them for various things my entire life never had "training"
spongerX
More like train not yourself not to burp after having lunch. Nearly made myself barf after Chinese when I burped wearing one
OutInLeftField2
There’s no one else in there except him and the camera man and they are properly social distancing, so he does t really need the mask.
HeyLookItsTheVagynaGuy
It's not a coronavirus mask. It's a respirator that painter's and guys that work with sanding drywall use to not breathe in fumes and dust
WoodyOfficial
Ah yes, I too love inhaling fresh paint fumes
idonthaveanyideawhatthehelliamtalkingabout
did you forget /s ?
Yeah. Didn’t think I really needed it but apparently some people are just too dumb to get it.
BlairT1
This stuff is production tract housing kinda shit. Looks good from afar, but far from good.
Syxcfaq
I guarantee this is a shitty paint job.
upsidedownjackrussell
Yep. He better be backrolling that before it dries. I painted a house like that once. It never looked right after that.
persianBull
This good for painting the outside sidings of a house. I really need to rend one and do this at my house
stickywiggit
So many drips, uneven coating, overspray, probably didn't prep or clean the surface so the paint peels off and you have to redo it in 3 yrs
Agreed.
titaniumsnail
There are gonna be so much bleeding and stray paint particles on every surface, especially with such a dark color.
DrBabyDanny

True painters use a roller after a proper sanding

Nice white outline around all the edges.
Jchamberlainhome
Sprayed on paint is never as good as rolled or brushed. Way too thin.
TeeTeeEffEn
Sometimes yep :) that only happens when the sprayer doesn't have a strong air compressor though. Or when using the wrong size of tip.
I will admit my experience is purely through having a house built. I imagine builders prefer a thinner coat of paint.
summershank
Came to say this. From primer to dark with one shitty spray coat. Woof
Snooj
Thanks, I was going to ask what the finished coat looks like. I've seen other stuff like this that looks uneven as hell and terrible.
bobislost
i use one of these to paint elevator shafts and would never use it on an internal surface that i wanted to look at regularly
dafawkudoin
Exactly. There is a huge quality difference between painting fast and painting efficiently.
abacab87
Probably still costs a half million.

Location matters. You can buy a 4 bed 2 bath around here for 120K but we are an hours and a half drive from the closest big city.
jpunkin
Can’t do that around Seattle
ThreeDogeMoon69
Sure but where are you? I'm not looking to move to the south, where it is still 1960.
Hendlton
A while ago I was looking at house prices in Phoenix, AZ and you could buy a decent house for that. That's a pretty big city.
I just looked again, and the prices have apparently gone way up. You can still find a livable place for that money though.
I noticed that as long as you live an hour away from phoenix, the prices are cheap.
xVVitch
Pretty sure my house is 30-40k less than that with the ssme amount of rooms & bathrooms.
MrHerpertDerpington
Yeah, I talked to a professional painter about this. The time you save painting is spend taping off EVERYTHING that's not gonna be painted.
Otherwise everything will have droplets on it.
Yep. Pro painter here. Tape & masking takes forever. That's why I only spray new builds: unfinished floors & trim not yet installed ?
zeiji
hope it's actually a thin layer of filler to be sanded, not that spraying is that common but happens. cus for paint hes doing a shit job
manesero
And that's why we all hate new builds. They paint before they do flooring, which means the baseboards always go on before the tile. Sucks.
streptovsky
Why would the baseboards go on before the tile? Wouldn't be paint, floor, baseboards?
I wish. All the new builds in Arizona are wall, baseboards paint, flooring. It lets the painters not care about their over spray.
mischiefforidlehandstodo
I never understood tape. The time it takes to put it on and take it off you could cut in both coats and be done in half the time.
SterlingArcherSecretAgent
It bothers me that he sprays over the outlets.
chefsoda
Ha! I'm in the middle of a renovation, and that was my first thought!
battleofhastings1066
The outlets and switches haven't been installed yet.
sailorparkboy
the outlet is the box he's sprayed over. switches and plugs are devices.
Topi41
Me too - would have taped it for sure.
Indeed - takes just a few minutes and gives a much cleaner result.
I have a tenant who painted her bedroom once. She rolled right over the whole switch plate. This is why I don't let tenants paint.
NauticalDisaster
Bothers me too. He clearly paints for a living, why not fab up a few parts to pop into different size boxes. Hate screws and wires covered..
...2. With paint. Same type of person paints walls and doors without removing switch plates and hardware...
Or paint highway lines without removing roadkill
Other than the switches though nice work
GrandHofTarkin
The outlet isnt installed yet...
The outlet isnt but the electrical box and wires will be though
KeylessChuck
I spent 6 years wiring highrise condos. Paint on the wires wasn't a big deal. Drywallers filling the outlet with mud was much worse.
Very true. I know paint on the wires wont hurt them. I just dont like it
nonsequitur
They are not wired yet. A little paint on the unstripped wires or the inside of the box will do no harm.
JollyRogarrgh
Electrician or painter should've put masking tape over the hole.
It still bothers me.
JoschiGray
I can relate
anonamos
Plastic boxes are only fire-resistant. Spraying inside them adds fuel, possibly enough for a fire to escape the box instead of be contained.
jonhamsandwich11
No, but dealing with painted screws is a pain in the ass
He’s not painting any screws. The outlet hasn’t been installed yet
PeeterGrant
He is filling the screw holes in the box with paint though.
the box is the outlet. he's not painting screws, but he's filling screw holes in the outlet.
The screws that hold the switches and plugs to the box are on the box.
Screws come with the device.
marklayden9
No they are not, they are hanging in the switches and outlets still, with little tiny washers.

I spent 6 years wiring highrise condos. Paint on the wires wasn't a big deal. Drywallers filling the outlet with mud was much worse.
NauticalDisaster
Very true. I know paint on the wires wont hurt them. I just dont like it
nonsequitur
They are not wired yet. A little paint on the unstripped wires or the inside of the box will do no harm.

Electrician or painter should've put masking tape over the hole.

Plastic boxes are only fire-resistant. Spraying inside them adds fuel, possibly enough for a fire to escape the box instead of be contained.

No, but dealing with painted screws is a pain in the ass

He’s not painting any screws. The outlet hasn’t been installed yet
PeeterGrant
He is filling the screw holes in the box with paint though.
sailorparkboy
the box is the outlet. he's not painting screws, but he's filling screw holes in the outlet.

The screws that hold the switches and plugs to the box are on the box.
KeylessChuck
Screws come with the device.

No they are not, they are hanging in the switches and outlets still, with little tiny washers.
