  • I'm painting a house from H E double toothpicks....its about 50 degrees F in there in the morning. It's been vacant since 1972 and the wood trim is taking 3 coats and not very nice looking ones at that! I'm using Kilz 2 latex primer and they want ultrawhite semigloss on the trim. Only thing original in house is this time killing trim. I'm thinking of using Original Kilz and a respirator for first coat since it just drinks primer. Any suggestions Green Apple? Help Please!! haha

  • @suarezphilip It sounds like you will have to use an oil based primer for the wood trim. kilz is a great product make sure you open all of your windows and use fans to help get fresh air into the room. The fumes are pretty bad. Good Luck!

  • Thanks for these 2 videos (part 2 also). I am painting a room for my first kid and once we had all the stuff to paint... well let's just say these videos helped a lot.

    Thanks!

  • @MrSweetieJayDub I'm glad I could help!!

  • Great Advice young man! After being in the business for over 30 years and an artists my whole life it's great to see someone giving professional advice. There are a lot of bad How To videos on basic painting on You Tube and I have to say this is the best one I have seen. Art-Faux Designs Inc. Naples Fl

  • @artmorehead Thank you very much! I'm just trying to help. There's a lot of bad information out there!

  • hey I had my room painted but it came out horriable. there was an oil base paint on it and the painter painted over it with waterbase paint. so as time went by the paint started to peel. and its all uneven because there were different layers of paint on the wall. What do I do? :(

  • Why do u choose spackle...???? I prefer paris plaster, or fix all. One time only..... no shrinkage.. I'm not hating.. just asking.. Thanx...

  • Great video great delivery. Cheers fm London

  • @randall ps. i know u did mention flat paint does work as primer, but my question is will my flat paint alone be enough with out have to throw ANOTHER coat of paint?? if the makes any sense??????? lol

  • @oNEwICKEDwILLY HA dumbass stfu and get off of youtube

  • Hey thanks 4 da video! im gonna be painting my appartment, i am using FLAT paint. i already patched up all the holes, now my question is will my flat paint be enough to cover up the patches real good, without me having to PRIMER them first???? and another question imma paint the bedroom which is currently dark PURPLE, BABY BLUE, and its FLAT paint as well, now will that baby blue flat paint be enough to cover up the purple??? or will i have to primer it with white paint first??????????
