painting louvered shutters sucks....:(

[rnch]

the 3 or 4 of ya'll here who actually follow my threads may recall i am painting the front of the bywater money pit, a circa 1880's side hall double parlor victorian home in one of what's left of new orleans historic home districts.

today's mental challenge is painting at least one set of the 6 louvered 8 foot tall cypress shutters that cover the entrance door and 2 floor to (almost) ceiling windows of the front parlor.

i am doing both sides, (at least) 2 coats as i am changing the color from basic black to french quarter green.

ALL THOSE LOUVERS! ARRRRGH!

i dunno how people can paint houses for 8 hours a day, day in, day out....after about 3 hours i am ready to hurl the paint brush down the street.

Do you have a real job?

 

[jestro]

Your not painting with a brush are you?
My dad made me paint a house with rollers and brushes when I was a kid. Screw all that! Much better with a sprayer.

This seems to be the concensus.

[jestro]

Painting with a brush is the way to do it. Don't corrupt him.

 

[slat1]

You can't use a compressor on a high end property.
First they do not provide the proper cover for it.
Second the paint will float in the air until it hits something... windows, the neighbors car etc.
If you see a professional using a sprayer they are cutting corners.
Shutters suck to paint no matter what.

 

[rnch]

i counted 'em while i was painting....SIXTY (60) louvers per set of shutters, 3 sets of shutters....
