BRICK Makeover --- Simple Steps Painting Brick & Stone

What happens here

Before application, ensure proper masking is in place to protect adjacent surfaces from overspray. The hosts demonstrate using a 1.5-inch masking tape, which is preferred for brick surfaces due to its superior adhesive properties compared to 1-inch tape, ensuring better sticking on textured surfaces. The equipment setup involves an airless paint sprayer, specifically mentioned is a Titan 440 (or similar small pump) fitted with a 30-inch extension and a regular 515 spray tip. The pressure of the sprayer is intentionally dropped down to around 1100-1200 PSI to optimize stain penetration and minimize overspray, rather than the higher pressures typically used for paint.

it no so we're going to show you the process so stay tuned right here watch as we spray we got to spray it right there don't we right got a 30-in extension 30-in extension we are uh running a pretty small pump because of some of our power situations today so we're just running a Titan 440 uh we do have the pressure drop down low so with this we don't need to to run it at that 1,800 2000 PSI Mark uh we're running it more about 11 or 1200 PSI and then we're just running a regular 515 tip we're running uh in our pump using a solid color stain not thinning it out with anything it's just straight and you can tin it any color you want we are masking doing all our masking right here so we don't get overspray on anything and you know one of the things to that I'll just kind of a a tip when we're working with brick we always use inch and a half tape because it has a bit more adhesive it's a bit easier sticking than if we were just using a 1in tape so this is kind of one of the few circumstances where uh we use inch and a half pretty much on everything that we're masking so here we go we're going to show you what it looks like to spray and change the color with some brick and when we're done we're even rolling the fascia so we're doing the brick here and then we're just hand doing the fascia which is wood yep check
