Pintar el exterior de una casa, consejos de bricolaje de un profesional

[Music] [Applause] So I'm getting ready to do a color match check on this house. The house was previously painted with mounting paint. I want to make sure this is the correct color before I redo any painting because if it isn't, I'm going to have to get the correct color. A little spot there looks a bit light, of course, but it's going to dry. The mounting color, I think it's Blue Byu, so we have [Music] that. Something you have to do nowadays is always strain your paints, and paints nowadays are so dirty. I didn't used to do it. Like 10 years ago, I never had to strain paints. Now you have to strain your paints every time you use them, so I just use five-inch strainers. I put on a pair of plastic gloves so I can wring it out, get all the paint out, and then I take off the [Music] gloves. [Music] Oh [Music] [Applause] Oh [Music] I like to use this strainer. This is the best one I've ever used for When removing the paint, I always give two coats. The first one is a light coat so it dries quickly, and I use masking tape so nothing bleeds under the windows. If I'm doing the windows, it dries very quickly, and I go back and give a second, thicker coat, and I remove the masking tape as soon as I give the second coat. Spraying the bodywork is probably four or five times faster than brushing and rolling it. So we always spray the bodywork. We would brush and roll the trim, the window trim, the dashboard, the door trim. We hand-roll all of that. It looks much better; it has better penetration and adhesion. If you use the [Music] roller, [ Music] ah [ Music] [Applause] when it comes to pulling off your masking. So I'm going to pull off my masking tape now, and I'm not going to throw it aside. What I like to do is, I have wet paint, and I'm going to start rolling all my masking tape in on itself, like this one here. And if you mask it well, it should all come off. You shouldn't have I'm going to use a ladder now. I'm going to get all my tape, make sure all my tape is wrapped inside my plastic. All my wet paint is inside the plastic. Now it's just a ball of plastic. When you put it in the bag, the tape won't stick to the trash bag and it won't get stuck. It's a simple trick of rolling and curling the plastic before putting it in the plastic bag. [Music] I usually take the mask off right after the second coat while the paint is wet on the masking tape. The masking tape pulls off a lot easier. So I'm going to pull off my masking tape. I'm going to get my masking tape wrapped up and wrap the tape all inside. All the wet paint is inside. I pack it all up like this. And now I can put it in my trash bag. And now the tape isn't going to stick to all sides of my trash bag. And if you don't bundle it up, then your trash bag gets stuck like this and almost ruins it completely and makes it unusable. Simple little tip when it comes to pulling your [Music] Now you're stuck. It'll probably get gross. in there pretty fast huh? You forgot to come out, Lisa. You forgot. You wanted to stay there, Lisa. How come you're not [Music] [Applause] [Music] Oh
