Think you cannot paint? You can!
I created The Idaho Painter an alternative to to big box DIY video shows that have actors who only act like they can paint but really can barely act. My mission is to shatter the barriers of entry into painting and convince people that it can be a lot of fun painting and painting fun little projects on your own without an expensive professional painter. No experience is necessary.

I work for Sherwin-Williams. This is a great video for learning about how to stain a fence. Thank you so much! I'll use what I learned here to help our customers!
Amazing transformation to the fence. When I looked at it for the first time, I never imagined it could look so beautiful. Great job.
Wow. Great job with the fence. Looks great. Good tips too for painting. Didn't know about the benefit of the special tip for the power washer nor the required pressure needed. Cool. Thanks Chris!
Great video. No matter what project I am working on, you always have a video that covers the steps and, more importantly, the precise tools to complete the job. Really top notch. Keep up the good work.
Getting ready to do the same thing to my fence. Good education, sir. Thanks for the tips.
Chris, plus 1 dude! I did the exact method and paint color as you an the owner is very happy! Great video. Thanks again!
Boise! My hometown! Was thrilled to hear that.
Very helpful. Thanks for making and sharing this video.
This was a helpful video. I have this as an up coming project. Thanks for posting.
Chris great video I am a painter myself with 27 years experience if it works it works keep up the good word
fence looks sweet thanks for the tips
Good job man nevermind all these haters IMO your good at what you do buddy and you have actually improved myself as a painter.. Good job
Great job on the video. Very instructive. Nice camera work.
believe it or not liquid chlorine spray through a pump sprayer to kill the mildew 1st really does help with a low pressure wash some high pressure but it doesn't scar nor does it take the wood it really is a great method that I've learned over the years that saves valuable time and even leaves the wood looking fabulous got any scars
An excellent job well done !! Beautiful !!! 😃 👍
what a difference before and after:is very nice the final product
looks beautiful. ..Great job!
nice video you should talk more about paint sprayers and tips for us beginners.
Thank you for all your videos
Great video, feel confident I can do mine today now thank u.
Hey Chris, you always do a heart job, but I will have to agree with the comments that suggest chem washing and rinse. With the right mix and a thorough rinsing ,will be less abrasive with out scoring up the wood. All in all, we are still a fan! Thanks Chris.
excellent. .Josh
you explained so nicely.
Thank you🤙
I love power washer tips man! 3000psi minimum, rotating nozzles and viola! start the job!
You don’t need that much pressure most of the times. I have a power washer with much less pressure and was able to successfully strip off the mildew and it’s lasted for over 8 years and still looks amazing after staining it.
Whar kind of stain did you use? Did you stain and seal?
You're the best of the best!
Excellent work 👍🏻
Thank you for your videos. I bought a rotating nozzle for my 4000psi pw, I like the yellow tip better because the rotating nozzle makes the wood thready. I feel like if I sanded it after then it may look better but I have yet to try that.
thanks for sharing your advice about the priming
You are welcome!
Great video, thank you !
Very good and informative video.
Thank you.
Thanks for watching Victor!
Excellent vid and information. Thank you!
Your welcome🤙
Muchas gracias por compartir tan útiles consejos me pareció muy interesante ,muy bonito trabajo te mando un enorme abrazo desde Chihuahua Chihuahua México 🇲🇽🇲🇽
Thank you for great tips. I'm planning to stain with Behr All-in-One our new fence and not sure if you need to prewash a new pickets (they were washed 2 times by the rain and look very good). Sir, you need to wear respirator, when you spray that stuff (even if you show us a small fragment of your work). That design with different colors for posts and pickets looks very nice.Thank you again.
thanks man! appreciate your effort
preciate the video. looks great at the end~
you don't need 3000 PSI, just did my fence with my little electric Ryobi 2300 PSI and it did a fantastic job. A tad slower than you, but not that much
Super helpful tips! Btw anyone else think he looks like John Cena? LOL I mean that as a compliment. :D
I like the tip on how to prime. Thx.
that looks amazing,,im going to do this to mine.
Good thing I saw watched your video first because I was just going to stain the fence without power washing and I was going to put outdoors paint on the shed... SMH!
Thanks for the info
Awesome video!
Nice,Thanks for video.
Very detailed and thorough video. Appreciate you taking the time to share the entire process; super helpful.
Thank you! :)
Really informative video, Thanks. Wondering what kind of sprayer and the wand you are using in this video and if I can I rent at HD or Lowes?
planning on doing.... when you were using the stain sprayer... do you need an air compressor?
Beautiful job!
Thank you! Cheers!
GOOD JOB GUYS
Love the video and the tips. I never even heard of a rotating nozzle until I saw this video. I like to do things by myself when I can and your videos are definitely a huge help. I want to stain my back yard fence and looked it up on CZcams and your channel was the first to pop up. Keep up the good work, I look forward to exploring more of your channel and wish you the best.
Chris - Thanks for your videos! My husband and I stained the interior of our pine fence with a pecan semitransparent stain. I live in a corner and the exterior of the fence now shows all the knots turned almost black. Looks pretty bad. Will that fade? I don't know how to fix this other than powerwashing and staining the outside, but I can't use the same dark color outside (home association). Will a light stain do anything to hide the darkened knots? If I power wash the outside fence, will I damage the interior? If I stain the outside, will this darken the knots on the inside? Thanks!
This is niiiice..wow awesome stains..
Thanks for watching!
Would you recommend using a white exterior semi gloss on a rough cut fence? Like on white picket fences?
Wow! I'm very impressed! That was a very good job. How long did you wait to stain after power washing?
I just bought a Graco Magnum LTS 15 paint sprayer and plan on re-staining my fence and maybe paint or stain my garden shed as well. Only the trims on the shed are painted the rest is not painted or stained, what would you recommend?
Also on the fence do I have to power wash it b4 I re-stain?
Oh yeah, this will be my first time using a sprayer...
My cedar fence is 1 year old. It does not show signs of mold and very little discoloring. Before a spray cedar transparent sealer on, should I still power wash the fence?
hello what should i do if my fence is just beginning to darken but is still new, i would like to stain ASAP do i have to power wash it all or can i just stain the darker spots
Hey Chris,...would i be able to use a roller and pole for the back-brush" im like 6'6 tall and i have a mile of fence that i have previously presure washed....
Great video! I put up an AC2 Treated fence last spring and was told not to touch it for a year. Will I need to follow the same process? Any additional tips for AC2 Pine? I now wish I would have sprung for cedar, but oh well!
Looks great 👍
Thank you!
Great Video
Good video sir, I might have to hit you up to do my fence.
Great video
hi
can u pls tell what kind of rotating striping nozzle you are using pls
amazing!
very nice job I would hire you if I needed something like this done.
Thanks its helpful.
Does the stain that you put on the fence have a sealant in it? Or do you put a sealant on after you stain the fence?
Great video. Do I need to paint on both sides of a fence?
Amazing job guys, looks great. To anyone wondering what PSI is actually required to strip a fence properly its 2.5Gal/min at 1600 PSI. Ijust stripped my fence, does it take longer? yes. but its doable.
Wondering what kind of machine was used to do the staining?
Same
great video
Great video thanks ! Would this stripping with power washer damage my neighbours side of fence ? They just painted there fence last year.
What happened?
Good video(s). Thanks
Thanks very much. Never thought pressure washer can make an old fence look new like that. Does it really take off a thin layer of wood or just removed dirt and stain?
Do you have any info on re-coating the aluminum framing of a screened porch?
Great info...and demonstration. Will apply to fence..when I get to it...plus wood deck, when I get to it...plus stripping old old paint off houses so I can prime and paint...gotta do that now...b/f they cancel the insurance. Demo and info reveals the 3000 PSI machine will do the job so I"l buy one of those machines (vs. $$s more for 4000 PSI).
Thanks 🙏🏻
i have a 2700PSI /2.4 GPM washer, how close do I need to be to strip the old wood off the fence
Thank you.
Nice job! 👍👍😎 Personally, I'd probably change that red post color for a darker shade of brown.
Same
What did you use besides pressurized water to clean the fence?
Thought about staining mine by spraying, just concerns me about the overspray
Unbelievable transformation. Great video. Was this a pine fence?
Have you ever tried using 12.5 % SH with an xJET SYTEM to help with making it a faster process? Just a thought? You guys are great, keep up with the great work!
Quick question: I just finished pressure washing my pine fence and want to use an oil based stain. How long do I need to wait for the wood to dry before staining? I live in MN and we have been having a lot of rain as well.
Bone dry get a moisture meter to check
Use chems. Rotating nozzle will damage the wood. Proper chems and minimum amount of pressure
Josh Mallett what chemicals do you use on a fence?
Sorry for the late reply. I use sodium percarbonate. Followed by oxalic acid. Around 1800-2000 psi. A little more is fine but be cautious
@@123joshmallett im curious why follow with oxacilic acid I use percarbonaye spray on with sprayer or strong downstream then scrub with brush?
@@123joshmallett i do agree guy in video will end up with a ugly furry fence and a pissed clie t
The oxalic acid is a brightening agent. And will bring the wood back to a more natural look. Which then allows for a more natural stain product. (If using a solid stain this isn’t a necessary step)
nice job fellows!
sure will. Thanks.
Excellent!!! Based upon your experience, how long will the stain "last"?
How long are you waiting in-between pressure washing and staining?
I have watched many of your videos Chris and after watching this video I wanted to comment and let you know that I have been in the Deck Restoration business for many years with 25 years of experience washing, stripping, sealing & staining wood fences/decks. As a professional within the industry, I would never use the rotating tip in this video to restore a fence or deck! There is a product that Benjamin Moore makes called "Wood Restore" which should be applied to the gray wood before washing to loosen up the old gray wood fibers for it to be easily washed with a low-pressure tip to get better end results.
Hello my friend. Can you give me some tips for all cares of my fence. Because im ñiving in mexico and here nobody makes thins kind of jobs. And i want to do it by myself
Thank you.
How do you apply the Wood Restore product?
Hey The Idaho Painter! I have a few questions about this. 1. Do I just use water through my pressure washer to wash my fence or should i use a chemical mix? 2. Do i need to sand down my fence before or after wash because it is a little rough, or will the power wash make it smooth?
Will this method remove stain from wood fence
How much do you charge for a 6'x200' long fence ??? Do you calculate the inside and outside separately ???
Did he wait for the fence to dry did I miss it ? Is it safe to stain it right after ?
where can i buy that rotating nozzle from,Home Depot, im in Portland,OR? Thanks
I'm using an electric power washer that puts out 2030 PSI. It works pretty good, not as fast obviously, but for $142 it makes my fence look like brand new. Don't forget to rinse and re-rinse the opposite sides, because that stuff gets everywhere and its sticky enough not to just brush off with a broom later.
Yes, thanks for sharing Robert!
Chris, where did you purchase that rotating nozzle?
Do you ever have bleed over to the other side of the fence with your stain sprayer?
What is the price tag on a job like this?
Great vid! Scanned to send my buddy a tutorial since he has a project and is to far away. Im sending this one and only watched a few minutes. Gotta get em estimates!
Since we're not close enough to be competitors... Just thought you might want to try a 512 since when there botched it turns into a 515-7 in general. As well as using a bad interior roller locked down by a screw/synched tape... to double team to one spraying while another back dragging. Third generation house painter and love swapping ideas with other companies. - Cheers man and Brandon says thanks in advance
Yup, your productive. Way to be on top of things. - Cheers
Excellent Job, you're a good!. I have a couple of questions: How long did you have to wait to paint that fence after power washing it? and How long would you wait after installing a new pine fence to paint it? Thank you.
A.C. Slater? We wrestled together at Bayside.
Thanks for the helpful video. Two questions (1) For a painted fence, before powerwashing, should you lay down something (e.g., a tarp, plastic) to catch all the old paint / waste? (2) What if your fence is surrounded by large, heavy bushes and you don't have much room to work, is it okay to powerwash at an angle, going up and down the pickets?
Laquita Jenkins yes
Can the equipment you used to prep and stain the fence be rented somewhere by non-professionals?
