A paint-together at the Shop

[Off Road SHO]

Hey guys, I need some help painting the shop. I've had the southern and western patios enclosed and stucco'd. Now I need to paint it and the pros want more than I can afford.

Who all would be willing to help? It would be over a saturday and sunday since I have to put on two coats, and we could provide a tasty, though probably unhealthy lunch both days.

I hate asking for help but it will take me days and days to do by myself.

Thanks.

Tom

Just let me know when I'll be there. its the least i can do for all the help you've givin us.

 

[SHOmethewayhome]

ditto and then some. plus you and Mitzi always put on a spread.

just let us know a date. i'll drag jesse along too if he aint working.

 

[F-22 Raptor SHO]

Let me know and I'm there. As you know I won't be back till the 11th.

Hey dude... just do it like they way a "pro" would do it... I would imagine you can rent the equipment at Home Depot or something. A few hours of masking, and you could spray the thing fast... you'd be really suprised.

Just a thought... I mean I do electrical work and watch them spray stucco all the time. The front of a big building is about a days work for them. And by big, I mean like a 600' long building.

I'm in. My possibly-future-brother-in-law left his spray rig over here and I have a medium duty Wagner one I'll bring over too. Let's just try to schedule it before the the twins are born in late August/early September.

I can help, and I have a heavy duty airless sprayer I can borrow that would make quick work of those walls

 

[Eric VerValin]

Ha ha.. scratch the rent part... This forum never sceases to amaze me.. I like seeing people come together on things. If it wasn't 1500-2000 miles out there.. I'd even help ya out. Good stuff guys!

I've got a nice airless spray rig still in the box but we can only use it to spray the primer on the wood part. The stucco is getting two rolled coats of Elastomeric paint that shouldn't be thinned for spraying.

I'm thinking the weekend of the 16th of July?

I'll paint something here that weekend in your honour! Hope all goes well.

 

[Off Road SHO]

Alrighty then. I'll see everybody early Saturday morning, 7 AM would keep us out of the hot afternoon sun. I'll have the airless ready to go and masking tape and drop cloths and brushes and rollers, and, and, and...Thanks a bunch guys. This will really help me out.
