  • Blue tape does not work.....next shot....using blue tape.

    Great video though, thanks for the help!

  • @chevyman95 I know, but it's not the generic blue tape and I only use it over freshly painted surfaces. Glad you liked it though!!

  • Do i have to primer a wall if im using Flat paint then, And a much darker color, sorry for the Noob question.. Thanks in advance!

  • @Mr93z32 If you're painting flat you usually don't have to prime, I always paint two coats, so unless you're doing a bright red or orange you probably won't need to prime. Ask the paint retailer if that specific color needs a primer. 

  • Hey so how come my paint doesn't go on as smooth as yours? I'm using a 1/2" nap roller cover by purdy. However when i applied paint on it didn't go on fully. Its only a pint for color sample, i didn't know whether to use a brush or roller, i figured roller would go on easier, but i ran out of paint for a second coat, even though i was supposed to have enough for a second coat, I painted an 4x4 ft area, however when i cleaned my roller sooo much paint came off, it filled half a pint can. so idk

  • @champ3660 if you're only painting a 4'x4' area a whizzee roller would be the best tool to use. Usually if the paint isn't going on smoothly you don't have enough paint on the roller. It sounds like, by the time your roller had enough paint you were out of paint.

  • Randall!!! Thank god man! Thank god there is finally a video posted on youtube by a REAL Professional painter!

    I thought i was losing my mind looking at all the "Pro's" giving out horrific advice. Your technique is absolutely flawless. From the patching/spot priming, to knifing down the tape with your 5in1, to fanning out the paint and starting slightly off the edges, properly using a roller tray.

    This is exactly how an actual pro paints! I 100% approve every detail. Good Job!

see all

  • The paint hes talking about, high quality, is easy to spot. Basically it costs more.

  • Could you comment on paint quality please. I am guessing that paint found at Home Depot, Lowe's, etc, is not a good quality paint. Would you say Benjamin Moore is? Give us some recommendations on other brands.

  • @champ3660 Get a 5 in 1 tool when cleaning those rollers too. It will keep you from wasting all of that paint.

  • "I don't know a painter alive that uses the w pattern" thats a funny line yet so true, your video is one of the best that Ive seen and shows me the same procedures we use here in Ottawa Canada, "keep the wet side out"

  • LOL Amen! @ 7:28 regarding the "W" pattern!

  • @ruel68ify if your using the same color just paint right over it only prime if your going from a light to dark or oil to water

  • @frank0067 the best place is somewhere where you or anyone else wont trip over it and wherever it feels most comfortible for you i personaly place it too my left and just push it with my foot as i move now granted i only fill it 1/4 of the way as not to spill any

  • @mypinkkconverse what i would do is re paint it using the same color but mix some brown or black into it and test it and keep mixing and testing till you get the desired look

  • @9809mikeC all pro painters ive worked with do trim first cause of the small edge

  • @SILVERADO06SS1 haha same and i am a painter by trade i always do the top to bottom with a 25%overlap to lay off rollermarks
