How To Paint A Fence / Make An Ugly Fence Look New

[Music] this Krissy Idaho painter here on home improvement tattoos today we're going to show you how we go about staining a fence and controlling overspray you get a lot of questions how we control overspray and keeping it off the neighbors houses and the neighbors plants so we're going to show you that process we got an airless sprayer setup you're gonna run the pressure really low we're gonna be spraying a solid color stain and back brushing it we're gonna be using some simple tools like a cardboard craft a cardboard shield photos are made by craft do hold a cardboard shield over the top to control overspray we're using it at the bottom we're also gonna be spraying with a 30-inch gun extension of 515 tip always want to use a really new tip to help control overspray so we're going to show you some little tips and tricks and we're gonna show them to you right now so stay tuned so one of the most important tools when it comes to controlling overspray when spraying offence is this tool right here this is a craft cardboard shield holder and these are cardboard shields that we've just purchased to go along with this tool very important tool you can find this thing on my tool store it's a number one selling item I have on my tool store right here and what we do with this thing I like it cuz it easily adjust without any tools without any wing nuts or anything so just moves easily I'm gonna be using it right here then this is going to control the overspray from going on the other side of the fence there and then we also use it down on the ground to keep the overspray for getting on the dirt rocks or grass so you got to have this tool here's a couple more tips when it comes to controlling it overspray doing the fence we always use a hand master to mask wherever the fence will butt up to a house or anything else that we don't want to get overspray on we use a lot of used cardboard shields you just lay along the ground or lay low it rocks or concrete to control the overspray and here's another really good tip and this is using the titan high offensive high efficiency airless tips and these things will run down to a thousand psi so they're gonna run at way lower pressures which will give you way less overspray okay now that we showed you some of the tools that we use to help control overspray we've got everything set up over here we're gonna be staying in this fence now we're going to show you the staining and back brushing process we spray it on with an airless sprayer so we can get it on fast and we can stain these fences fast but then we back brush so our stains gonna look like a professional dinner and it's gonna last a long time so let's head on down here and see what John's doing and help him out so we're gonna keep working on these fence panels and so I'm gonna show you how I guard everything with my cardboard shield I'll go around the bottom real quick and I'll shield it as close as I can a little bits gonna get on the dirt and a little bits okay we just don't want to make a big mess with that I mean it's all gonna go away with the next rinse of the sprinklers or rain up top what we're gonna do is we're gonna take the shield we're gonna stick it behind but you don't want to touch the backside of the the fence with the cardboard shield or you're gonna get all the stain that's on there on the back of your fence so you just hold it about an inch or two away and try to keep it steady as you move across so here we go always wear your respirator it's really important if you go against the grain while you're working on a fence like this we got to do this you didn't up stain on those boards but you got to make sure if you're gonna do that that you backed rocks right behind it so you don't have lap marks sort of built up going the other way you'll end up seeing those after it all dry so I see John you're like stain and really close to this fence over here or I'm not the fence I'm this shed this is a storage shed I mean that's probably only what two feet away are you concerned about getting overspray on that no I you know it's our pressure especially with this Titan HEA tip that's down really low so we've already got way less pressure than we even normally have and way less overspray than we normally have but that that overspray isn't going to float back and hit that shop unless you've got a tip that's just massive and blown out and you're putting out way more product than you need to put out you choose the right tip size and keep things at the right pressure you're gonna you're gonna get a greater transfer rate you're going to get less bounce off and and coming back and hit in that shed or whatever else you're trying to protect but Jonathan tieu you're using one of those tightened high-efficiency airless tips aren't you so I'm so far I definitely I can see from the video not as much overspray what do you think way way way less overspray so I think Titan says up to 50% more I think it's even more than that so usually I wouldn't use as big of a tip light as this this is a 517 usually use a 515 and try to have less this still has I guess about 60% less overspray than a grey coat 515 would these I can see a back brush in there why don't you tell us what the importance of back question is in your own opinion so it looks better and last longer look like Popeye huge so there
