  • Thank you that was very professionally done and learned a lot 🙂

  • Hello Leah. Thank you for all the wonderful and informative videos you have made. I have learnt a lot from your videos. Just a quick question. I have an airless spray gun. Would you say the same principles would apply as one using compressor air spray gun. If not then would really appreciate it if you would make a video on airless spray guns.

  • This is just awesome you're great at explaining things

  • Hi Leah. Your channel is awesome!!! Thank you for the great DIY videos! I love how you communicate slowly and clearly on a basic level, yet add in technical and scientific details that explain what is going on. Perfect combination of information for me at my novice level of tool use. Where can I find a BFF like you??? lol

  • I really appreciate your tutorial.
    Just a note, though. That's Teflon tape, not plumber's tape. Plumber's tape is metal and used for tying pipes to support.

  • For paiting a car what is the better presion I can use a 6 Gallon Pancake Air Compressor. Very good video I am watching now 01/2022.

  • Hi. Has anyone ever used a portable CO2 tank for painting (with spray gun extention)? Instead of an air compressor.

  • I donot know how much respect ,I have for you, just an amazing women, God bless you abundantly.

  • also use a spray gun air filter if you want a glossy finish.

  • Thanks for the very clear explanation. Now let’s give it a try.

  • One tip I recommend is don’t try to spray your “project” all in one go , it should take u about 2-3 coats for your “project” to be finished

  • Thank you for your clear, direct explanation that does not assume any prior knowledge, which helps me because I don’t have any prior knowledge. I especially appreciate your encouragement that I can do this and your suggestion that I begin by practicing with a “low stakes” process like spraying water.
    I spent years being fearful and am so happy now to actually begin to do things that I had been told most of my life there was “no way” I could do.

  • Thank you so much for filling the gaps which were not in the instructions of my new spray gun!!! U da best!!

  • This is the best instruction I have seen on YouTube. You explain the entire process from start to finish with every detail included. After watching hours and hours of video on painting with a spray gun it’s nice to have a little maternal guidance.
    I know many of the other instructors mean well, but most seem like they just drank a case of Red Bull with glass of testosterone as a chaser!
    Thanks

  • Thank you for an easy-to-understand explanation. You also have a great teaching voice!

  • Awesome tutorial Leah! Well explained, clear and concise. I can now start my spay painting project with confidence. Thanks Quebec City, Canada. ❤️

  • You are such a good teacher and you takes time to explain everything in details. Well done Leah 👍🏻👍🏻
