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

[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 !!

please tell me this retard is not priming a wall your a idiot give it 2 coats you idiot iv been painting for 6 years and never used his way of painting and no one else should there crap and as for the guy below me who uses a bucket and a small roller tray use a roller bucket not a round bucket ment for filler thats why you spill it you idiot

[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.

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.
