    From an 82 year old great grandmother, who through her whole life chose shades of beige for whatever needed painting, I congratulate you. It is definitely vintage because that blue is seen on vintage travel trailers of that era. I so enjoy your family and your videos. You make me smile!

Through your hard work and perseverance, this home is going to have a new life and be useful for many years to come. The paint job is terrific and you are all doing a fantastic job.

If mobile homes could preen, she'd be doing it, and she's the star of the neighborhood now! Don't know if you're planning a porch for the front door, but a covered porch with natural-stained wood and hefty posts would really set this old girl off!! Great choice of color, and great job done!

    Black paint on metal in Florida summer 🌞. I think maybe you are over estimating the whole insulation r value and effectiveness of a radiant "barrier". It's gonna be an oven. That's why they paint trailers light colors.

    • @diyfferent
      @diyfferent  Před 16 dny +1

      I think you may be under-estimating the effectiveness of a good radiant barrier and modern insulation. We used radiant barriers and they work. They effectively block over 95% of radiant heat.
      Speaking of ovens, they only have a thin layer of insulation separating you from the 400 degree heat inside and that insulation does its job pretty well. Don't worry too much. These systems are tried and true.

  • @metamud8686
    @metamud8686 Před 16 dny +5

    Black exterior paint absorbs about 70-90% more heat (than white paint which reflects sun light much better), then transfers that heat to the inside of your home, so I'm always impressed when people own up and still decide to paint their house black, living in a hot climate. Insulation and barrier will help a bit, so I guess we'll see ("feel") how this turns out, once all is said and done. Can't wait for the results. Theory vs practice!

    • @diyfferent
      @diyfferent  Před 16 dny +3

      The reflectix heat barrier we'll be installing blocks over 95% of radiant heat, so it's like the black isn't even there. It won't be a problem. We've used radiant barriers and they are a great product.

    The painting brought back memories. The first video of yours I saw made me a huge fan. You guys were painting a red section on a white mobile home. Then it rains and the red runs and you just moved on and fixed it, no drama, just moved forward. I have so much respect for your take on life.

    I couldn't agree more about the blue accent - it's like a delightful pop of color that brings the whole space to life! Mid-century modern interior - it's the perfect blend of classic/vintage and contemporary.

  • @anisebutler5220

    I thought the black was a bad idea because of how black soaks up heat. Sounds like you have that covered and I’ve learned to trust your design ideas. The white trailer you trimmed in red taught me that.

    Of all the major projects you've undertaken on this house and property so far, this is, after all the easiest to undo, should it turn out these colors weren't ideal. Or, to retouch, should they fade over time.
    Personally, I think it fits this mobile home perfectly, and I'm impressed by how well the white, blue and black work together.

    Black makes everything look smaller. Trailers are already small. Dust shows up bad on black cars. I had to wipe mine down every other day in rural FL. If I didn't, it would be brown in a week. The heat in FL is horrible. I cant even stand to look at black in the summer.

  • @karenholmes6565
    @karenholmes6565 Před 16 dny +4

    The color is pretty, but I would not have went that direction because Florida is hot. My house was dark brown the first summer I lived here and it would bake in the California summer sun (I live in Redding, really hot here, we're talking triple digits all summer long). I decided to get bright white paint for my entire exterior. I painted everthing white, and my roof is also a light sage green. I love it. It reflects so much heat, and that is what I am going for. Considering it is mobile home with limited insulation that could be s problem without shade trees. It does look really sharp, though. But if anyone else is reading this comment, you might want to consider the region you live in and sun exposure before making such a bold choice. Congrats on the beautiful job you're doing

    • @diyfferent
      @diyfferent  Před 16 dny

      The reflectix bubble radiant barrier we'll be using blocks at least 95% of the radiant heat, so it won't be a problem. We've used it in various spots at our main house and it made a huge difference. It's a wonderful product.

  • @donhuffer5167
    @donhuffer5167 Před 17 dny +4

    You will have more success with the paint if you maintain a 90 angle to the wall. Spray in longer strokes. Don’t tilt the gun too much up or down. You should also overlap by 50%. A light cover as it is will show spotty after it starts to degrade in the Florida sun and rain. Try to think of it like you’re painting a car. Not as forgiving as painting inside.

    I would call this color scheme mid century modern. That said, I live in the deep south and have never seen a black house. Most people are too concerned about the heat transfer to the inside. Many deep south homes will even paint their roofs white to reflect the heat. As the old saying goes, "whatever blows your dress up".
