Ok, I am going to try this again. I don't want any one tearing my pics apart, your I will have this post removed like I did with the last one. Also I don't want any name calling.:no:

I am painting a Barn with 6 dormers, 2 cupolas, and 2 barn doors (not pictured)

I am scrapping, power washing, 1 coat of primer and 1 coat of Berh deep base exterior paint.

Since the last post I had removed, I have finished one dormer and started priming the other dormer.

Customer is happy so far and complimenting on the work.

Once I am finished with one side I will post the completed pics.

I am sorry but I just didn't like it the first time and got very offended by it.

Good job Sev! I love the look of that finished dormer. Beautiful! .... just wished I didn't know it was Behr.... ughh.... :no:

I take you hate behr paint. I normally don't use behr. I usually use SW paint.

 

[tsunamicontract]

Sev, why are you using Behr and Behr deep base for a white color? and since its Behr it needs at least 2 coats of top. But looks like you got those roof jacks figured out to paint the peaks, thats a start. But seriously Sev, no one is going to stop ripping on you if you are not in whites. they are cheap, SW will probably give you a shirt. Wait sorry, you shop at HD.

 

[seversonspainting]

really whats purpose of whites. Blue jeans work just as well. Don't worry I have thought about getting a pair.

2 top coats, na, one is good enough, looks good, plus I am priming so this why only need one.

I also have a charge account at SW.

its not about how well they cover your a$$. Whites are the uniform of a painter. You wouldn't don't see the people checking you out at Home Depot wearing police uniforms do you? They have to wear certain cloths with their HD apron.

 

[seversonspainting]

OK, I am going out now to buy whites

 

[tsunamicontract]

on second thought though, maybe dont, it might give the impression that you are a real painter.

Sev,

yeah... Behr isn't really any good. And another thing, even though you put on a coat of primer, you still need two coats of paint and that is for most paint products, not just behr. Read the label on the can for the specs you need in order to validate the warranty of the paint most require two coats.

As for painters whites... that is just another tale of a story. I hate whites and Behr paint but yet I am a professional painter like the rest around here. Don't let Tsunami pull your leg so hard... :thumbsup: Painters whites are for hard core old schoolers (generally)... As long as you enjoy what you wear and you can make money at the same time, who really cares!

Have you ever seen a pic on this site that I posted with me wearing whites? Nope. You will never see it either. I enjoy my bluejean shorts and a nice Old Navy Polo or the green Nike polo that SW sells.

You do business the way you want to and we will do business the way we want to. You'll serve the people we won't or can't and we'll serve the people you won't or can't. Enjoy your job, learn from others and by your own mistakes, keep your head up, work the field when the harvest is ripe and do the best you can in every situation. :thumbsup:

Your a champ Sev, and that comes from all the BS you have had to put up with on this site (lack of professionalism by it's members). Sad, I know, but thanks for sticking it out. BTW. I like your work on that barn. Good job! I'm looking forward to more pics :thumbup:

He is a real painter. Just because he starts his business differently than anyone else doesn't make him less a painter than the rest. Quit bust-n his chops for pete sake.... Give him some room to grow and experience his techniques and skills. Help him out instead of put him down. Helping him out doesn't mean you need to kick him in the nards so hard that he can't get up.... Help the kid out! :thumbsup: He's here because he wants help in a trade he doesn't know much about.... that's obvious. So, lets help him.
