How to Paint a Room : Using a Roller to Paint Ceiling

[videoequipped]

Why didnt i think of a roller, just spent 8 hours doing my hall with a 2" brush !!

[fairhillnorrie]

painting ceilings dose my head in..... always seems patchy or i leave streaks or lines...

[SheilaBeela87]

I like ceiling paint that goes on light pink and drys white! Makes things SO much eaiser!

[richnjeanie]

As a professional painter, I would always recommend hiring an experienced, clean painter. But if you want to do it yourself, because painting is fun and i would never deny anyone that, there is a ceiling paint that goes on tinted and dries white, because it is so easy to lose your place on a ceiling, because it dries fast, a less experienced painter will instinctivly want to re-roll dry spots thinking they missed a spot (holidays) so at least with the tinted color you will know where you are.

i would def agree with you hire a pro if you can? since we cant im having fun painting what a bucket loads of fun grrrrr.

forgot to men shin lighting ,always roll parallel with your window lighting you will avoid roller marks and if possible roll from one side of the room to the other in one motion dont brake in the middle ,use a clean roller 20mm and saturate it 10 minutes before use ,cut at the same time with a zoomer flat paints are tricky must work fast no longer than 15 minutes for average room try and do it in 1 coat you will avoid cracking or other problems .more paint less painting and you will be ok

SOME TIMES I JERK OFF IN THE PAINT. IT GIVES A COOL LOOK AND ALSO FUN

[umashu]

@MalCoonX1 TMI?

[TheDoritosfan1]

@MalCoonX1 ROFL!!!

[clutchisgood]

This guy should have prepped this ceiling better. I noticed lines in the ceiling even after the roller applied the paint. Most of the work in painting a ceiling is the prep. The painting is the last step before clean up.

[LigerZer077]

You didnt lay it off. Dont you end up with roller marks if its not layed off??

[MrSigmaVideo]

Thanks for the tip, Decorating my first home so was poking around to see how to paint a celing, This gave me pointers on how to do it myself.

[brettv8]

Jeez listen to the painters argue, why not just have a paint off see who's got the best technique?

[kalel38]

@ninjafatballz Hold on while i laugh at your comment hahaahahahaha you would be nothing but a farmer using a bucket to paint with who would be nothing but a laughing stock at my jobs. Question it must take you a week to clean your pig trough after using it not to mention the streak marks all over the wall from your roller...Go back to the Flintstones or the farm you came from

[ninjafatballz]

@kalel38 what?? why would there be streak marks all over the walls from using a bucket and roller grid? youre on crack. do you think you just stick a roller in a bucket of paint? there are roller grids..which are wayy better and cleaner than rolling your nap around the bottom of a tray. I spray most of my jobs anyway so I mainly use my roller for backrolling...if you even know what that is... have you ever even seen a spraypump?

[likeitmatters2009]

cos thats not the way u stand when rolling a ceiling

[easyonetwothree]

@TheCptBlake why should he start from the center?? Elaborate while criticising man

[foxgguy2001]

@geterpaintd get a laugh because "stupit asses" like you feel the need to share your opinion, and make your "dam" selves look like "moroon[s]" in the process. I hope you paint better than you write, well I'm sure you paint better than you write, but that's not saying much...

[TheWaqarpk]

poor camra men

[kalel38]

Ever heard of a roller tray dude!!! man thats a sloppy way of doing it using a bucket common!! Those are used for horses

[ninjafatballz]

@kalel38 painters dont use trays because we would be filling them up about 20 times a day haha not to mention house full of people it will be knocked over, or stepped on... bucket with roller grid is how 99.9% of us do it ;) trays are for homeowners who feel the need to try and paint....

[kalel38]

@ninjafatballz I`ve used a tray for over 18yrs and they have done a great job for me instead i see jokers use`ng something a pig would eat out of..So old fashioned living in the Flintstones era

[DEK981967]

I cut edge of cieling first, and then roll with wooster 50/ 50 1 inch roller cover. Yes even for smooth cielings its allright! Just add a little floetrol or water so paint flows out on cieling! Sometimes all even use a 1 1/4 inch nap! This guy is pretty sloppy! I always tape my basebords with 2" tape before I paint walls, even if Im going to paint the trim! Yes Im a pro! Do not do what this guy does!

[otto5656]

I really think that "expert village" is a joke made for youtube. Every video I have ever seen them they doing things completely screwed up.

[TheCptBlake]

what a joke

[cokedick1]

you should never start rolling in the corner of the ceiling or wall like this guy, u'll get a lip. he is not a painter.

[easyonetwothree]

@cokedick1 why?

[jerseynick67]

plus when you paint a ceiling, do not use a stop & go motion, do one row at a time all the way across, I bet this ceiling looks like crap when he's done!

[takutacarter]

For $40.00 an hour i will give u drip-less paint . dont waist time on covering the floor .

[Spartacus217]

I can't stomach religious fanaticism.

[angelyperro]

a este wey cuando le sobra una manta se hace una camisa o un pantalon

[irich62]

what if the customer doesn't want a white ceiling? can i paint it another color or does the inspector want white?

[Yorleman1]

jees, by the time he finishes talking, i wud of had the ceiling finished, also, way too much clutter in the way

[cj3315]

why arent you using an 18 in.?

[dulitz01]

if u are a painter...

FUCK MATE.. QUIT NOW

you dont know how to even hold a roller. and you dont go front back front back.. you go side to side. more coverage

[skateking69]

delineate. Good word! I might get a painting job. And your my teacher;]

[kiddzion]

So what about if my roller dosen't have that fitting for the inspection roller? It's really $#!tty doing this with a 6x2 'thin' roller.... May I borrow yours please????

[TimTim930104]

you might be the worse painter that i have ever seen in my life you

[quakechamp666]

do you have to paint all one way or can you criss cross

[flourishjoe]

youll get way to messy painting ceilings like that. start from a corner and walk backwards this way your walking away from the spay not into it

[2Ryled]

Great tutorial. I was wondering if you could do one on how to paint a really high ceiling like in a hallway of a 2 story. We are using a extended long painting handle but it hits the walls, and we still cant get the corners of the ceiling very well. We even tried one of those bendable ladders. We need help. I cant find a vid on painting that. Thank you.

[HollowIchigoBankai29]

Thanks, you helped me with my job, I just painted the bathroom ceiling.

[gagootz1]

get some training dude. You do not need 2 coats.
