Painting Pipe Fence
Hi everyone, I have a question about painting pipe fence. I am going to bid painting a fence that has 10' post center's, has a pipe top rail & every
90 ft it has a ten ft long 4 rail section. So in other words between the 90'&100' mark there 4 pipe rails. it is like this the whole fence length. The fence is about 1 mile long he say's? Please give me help bidding this job. |

Re: Painting Pipe Fence
I would seriously look into renting an electrostatic paint sprayer. I have never used one but I bid a metal fencing job in the past with the idea of using this technology. Simply explained: the paint is blown through an electrostatic field at high speed. The droplets forming the spray cloud are carrying the electrostatic charge and looking for a place to land. The target surface must be grounded to have magnetic attraction. Check it out on line.
A mile of fencing using an airless or even pressure pot is i.m.o. just throwing fistfulls of money into the air. frank |

Re: Painting Pipe Fence
The PROPER way to paint fencing is to use mitts.

Re: Painting Pipe Fence

Re: Painting Pipe Fence
hey there was no debate Ms. Pink but your recent responses just proves how much of moron you really are. Come on who puts up a picture of a snowplow with construction management up as your trade and then stumbles around on a painting contractor's site but yet obviously knows very little about painting? You have the grammer and spelling of a 5 yr.old and talk like a girly boy and so it is also difficult to take you seriously and not laugh at you. Also the word frog is not a derogatory insult to an English Canadian but if I had the good fortune to be a french Canadian I would still recognize you as an idiot. This is my last response goofess, I had enough of you
