Painting a 40-Foot Shipping Container | Step 5 of Ultimate Chicken Coop Build

Step 5 of our Ultimate Chicken Coop Build brings fresh paint to a 40-foot shipping container! In this video, we prep a 22-year-old Conex container by power washing inside and out, then apply DTM paint for a durable, polished finish. We share our technique for thinning paint for smooth coverage, and feather the first coat before applying a solid second layer. This step is critical for creating a long-lasting, biosecure chicken breeder coop. Whether you’re a homesteader, backyard chicken keeper, or DIY farm enthusiast, you’ll see every detail from prep to finish. ▶️ Start the build from the beginning: 👉 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRGb8rReJdSU8RQXJ7HqVqViP91R2Jrj2 In this video you’ll see: Power washing a shipping container before painting Thinning paint for smooth application Exterior painting techniques for DTM paint Challenges with wind, paint thickness, and coverage How the fresh coats make the coop come to life 📌 Subscribe to follow each step of this groundbreaking shipping container chicken coop build. #ShippingContainerConversion #ChickenCoopBuild #DIYChickenCoop #FarmProjects #ParagonRidgeRanch Make Sure You Check Our Our Friends Channels and Leave them a Comment Telling them THANKS SO MUCH FOR HELPING OUT PARAGON!!! @TheCrockers @thecrockerlife @CoffeeWithTheCrockers 00:00 Painting a Shipping Container Overview 00:45 Power Washing the Container Inside & Out 02:15 Preparing DTM Paint for Smooth Application 03:42 Feathering the First Coat & Avoiding Runs 05:10 Applying the Solid Second Coat 06:30 Exterior Paint Finish & Durability Tips 07:10 Challenges and Lessons Learned 07:45 Preview of Interior Work Coming Next 💎Zirconia Type 27 Flap Discs: https://amzn.to/3PKK3wZ Angle Grider: https://amzn.to/3E3Zlua Reciprocating saw: https://amzn.to/40KDwZD 🔗 Order hatching eggs: https://paragonhatchery.com 🛒🐣 Visit our hatchery page, PARAGON HATCHERY!
