How to Paint a Room : Priming Walls Before Painting

[matrixmaster79]

Why would I buy and apply a primer when Home depot sells paint with primer already in it? Is'nt that a waste of time?

[deluxe77777]

I don't spot prime because it has potential to be seen. Why do i do things right the first time? So I don't have to do it again...

this guys is a joke

If he used Pollyfilla Trade he wouldn't need to do that as it won't bleed through the Emulsion like Tetrion ... He's just wasted a day !! Quick tip ... Fillers that bleed through ?? Tetrion Interior , Red Devil Minute Fillers .. Most resin based Fillers and Fillers that contain Silica or Cement !! Best primers for those ?? Zinzer Shellac based primers/Stain Block ... Dries in 40 minutes.. Great for water stains , Knots , Nicotine and smoke damage !!

wat does primer do?? inbox me thnks

@vc95Tom

Primer does a couple of things.

1. It can be used to Kill the color if it's a strong one,

2. It can also Neutralize the surface you are getting ready to paint,

3. And it can also be used as a barrier to keep Paint from penetrating into your new drywall or new wood as they are both very porous.

I just moved in to a new house and i wanna paint one of the rooms from a medium toned blue to a tan-ish/brown kinda color. Should i prime the whole room before i put on the new paint??

[dellgriff82]

painting out of buckets is the only way to go.A 5 gallon or 2 gallon bucket.And Always with a roller poll.Not holding a roller frame and using a little plastic tray to roll out of.

[jerseynick67]

@dellgriff82 I agree with the bucket technique, use it all the time there is no better way to do big jobs. But I do use a rigid metal tray for painting doors with semi-gloss using a whiz roller. you fill the tray with a quart or so of semi and it;s easy to carry around with you. again. using a tray for ceilings and walls is not a good idea because it wastes time re-loading every 5 minutes. And theres a chance you will have spillage or an accidental tip-over.

if you showed up on one of my jobs looking like that I would tell you to start sweeping the floor!

i smoked crack with this guy 5 minutes before this.This is just a house we broke into to smoke.We saw a camera and supplies and got busy.

[whinnymom1]

hey i have a whole room to primer then paint how would i go about that?

[flourishjoe]

drop cloths are there for when u roll and to keep all your stuff on so it doesnt scratch the floor :) he doesnt even notice the paint he drips its very unpro u cant walk into peoples homes saying your a painter and them watching u do ignorant things like that i can guarantee he stepped in those drips and walked around just like when i train noobs LOL

[flourishjoe]

i cant believe some painters prefer painting out of buckets like that eww. oh and apocalypse real painters i mean the real deal dont really spill paint i can paint 10 hours a day i wont have paint anywhere on me or the handle of my brush or my hands especially nothing on the floor :) it comes with time

[partyongarth420]

who cares where he gets the paint from... u can paint all day and not get any on u.. i think your completley full of shit either that or u just paint slow

[flourishjoe]

i paint at a very efficient speed i can promise you i do not get paint on my hands nor do i spill paint im very neat when i work and i dont lean by brush on the inside of my can nor do i slap my brush around in my can like im having a seizure the only time i get paint on my hands is when other people use my tools they get it messy not me. its not that hard to stay clean have a rag on you to wipe not your hands

[apocalypsmeow]

ya'll are seriously questioning his skill because he spilled (more like dripped) a little paint? I'm going to guess you've never spilled paint and probably paint in dockers and a polo.

[basstard440]

Hey no disrespect but are you sure you are a painter? I found flaws in everything you showed "how to". When you swipe off the stick and the can (not a brush) you spilled paint. You didn't strain it and when you rolled it on you didn't feather it out.

[BrittyB514]

I wanted to know if someone could help me.... I've never painted a room befor and I'm moving in two weeks, I have the color picked out and its a dark purple plumb color. The room that I'm painting has brand new walls, that have never been painted... Is there anything special I need to do or can I just start painting? To I need to put primer on it first? Or buy extra coats cause its a new wall? If someone could respond I'd REALLY appreciate it. Thanks. :D

[GANGSTUHchiq]

you would need to put primer on it first. im moving into my first house in about a month and i've done alot of research on it. you can also go to lowes or a paint store and ask for more information on it!

[youtalkiname]

Sloppiest painter I've ever seen. Drop cloth the whole room before you do anything. With all those spots of primer on the wall, you might as well prime the whole wall. You'll get a more even uniform look. "time is money"
