  • That's okay for people who do have a steady hand, but not everyone does. We used the tape before primer and I was very glad we did. Not everyone is an experienced painter or steady with the paintbrush. Some of us need the tape for the first few painting experiences until we get the hang of it. Better safe than sorry.

  • great job buddy loved the video, and you make it look soo easy.

  • You need to speak up and stop mumbling! 

  • @chrisbc29 when did i insult you?

  • @urHOTyup28

    how about you don't go shouting insults at me first of all.

    Second of all "everyone" who doesn't know how to paint tapes off, that's about it. If you have to tape off around trim when you cut in, you are an amateur painter,, that is DIY stuff.

  • @chrisbc29 stfu everyone has to tape off

  • wow, anyone who is going to paint for money should not be taping off, a pro will cut in without taping, leaves a much better cut line than with tape.

    I wouldn't pay this guy to paint, he's not that great at it. I'm sure he's a nice guy though.

  • @ExpertRealEstateTips Thank You!

  • question : should I tape some newspapers or something on the edge of the floor so that the paint doesn't drip down and stain the wood?
