    The bit at 1:01 is how I traditionally paint a deck.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    My Mrs is a Trade rep for Resene. Can ask her for you If you want.
    I wouldn't water blast it, you will water log the wood which can take weeks to dry out properly and the paint will fail to stick and will mostlikely bubble after the first heat wave. Only time I have ever seen a water blaster used to remove paint is off the hulls of ships.

    It would take forever! whereas a big old bucket of paint with a four or six inch brush you'd be done in no time

    The FUCKWITS that painted my house (the PROFESSIONALS who I PAID to do it) waterblasted the house then two days later masked and spraypainted using the Resene Hibuild paint they use to paint chillibin houses. Can't remember the name.

    About six months later I noticed that while the paint film is fine, nice and thick, it had started to bubble, particularly on the south side of the house (concrete block). It looks like zits. Got the Resene rep round "no issue with our paint man" Got the painter back "Nah mate, not our problem the paint's fine" FUCKERS. I am fairly sure it is residual water leaching out of the porous concrete block.

    I am waiting for summer to start then I am going to attack it with a wire brush on a drill, then use the sealer shit they sell, then repaint the motherfucker myself. FUCKERS. And dont get me started about the half arsed job they did on the fucking roof. FUCK

    Not that I'm angry at all.

    Calm yourself Chap,

    Yeah my mrs gets alot of complaints from idiots on the shore which go and spend thousands on paint (its expensive for a reason) thinking they can just brush it right over the top of the old stuff without any issues. After a matter of weeks its flaking off. NO REFUNDZ G, YOU FUCKED UP, is generally the response they get.

    I got a little state house which has seen its fair share of bad paintjobs. Just can't be bothered doing it myself, the same painters come in every 5 years to fix up there mistakes....

    soft broom is def a good option, even better if its a stain job. 20 years ago i used to roofs with a soft corrugated broom...until i could buy an airless
    broom did quite a fine finish, and three times faster and tidyer that roof roller

    Yeah you could ask the 17yr old store clerk with the ring in his lip and those stupid big ear lobe stretchers hanging from the side of his head for advice...

    Far out I'd be making someone pay/sort that out! That is ridiculous. The painter did the job so he needs to fix it up, if it's a problem with the paint, he needs to sort it out. Regardless, if its peeling, it clearly isn't fine and therefore should be fixed! I made the painter who did our bathroom come back and re-do the ceiling when it started peeling 6 months later - I think he hadn't let it dry enough (or maybe poor prep) before he did the sealer coat as the whole lot was cracking off in various bits.

    The relatives of the home owner did some of the first coat over the weekend. I'm questioning how well it was done as it seems like they didn't take their time to do it properly, but if the paint on that area peels off then I know who to blame. They neglected to even cut some of the plants growing directly over parts of the deck, and now the plants and deck are the same colour.

    The home owner provided the paint. I'll ask where she got it.

    That's a good point actually.

    A broom would be good.

    Mate.

    If they supplied the paint then it's a simple case of - either the paint's fucked, or the application was fucked. if they refuse to fix it..

    If they are master painters, then they offer a 5 year guarantee so go to MP.
    Otherwise, disputes tribunal.

    Painting. So simple anyone can do it.

    That is why you pay proper trained professionals.
    preparation takes the majority of the time. Applying paint is the MINORITY of the time.
