Hi Rick, nice video but a question for you, is it best to use a light grey basecoat for reds, blues, greens etc,. and light brown basecoat for yellows and oranges? as it can take up to 4 coats to give a perfect finish.

Quick question. I started priming a room, sadly before I watched your video, and needless to say, its clearly not a good job. Some areas of the primer are much darker than others. Since this is the primer, does it matter much? Can I move on to painting or do I need to try to make the primer more even looking?

Thank you for this excellent instructional video! I did learn a lot by just watching at the end. I noticed that you do about 6-9 "up-downs" per dip. I know there is no magic number, but this will be helpful as I learn what the roller feels like when it needs more paint. Too bad I did not see your video this morning before I rolled my first coat of paint in my 18x20 living room. I was not happy with coverage, suspected I wasn't using enough paint and found your video on KZread. The extension pole is an excellent suggestion for a newbie like me, and it's really saved my neck/back/shoulders while priming the living room. The DIY cable shows do not show people using extension poles, only the roller frame & making W's on the wall. I thought that's how it's done and about killed myself priming and painting my bathroom. Keep up the good work, Rick! I'll keep checking back for new content!

+Kikpong91 S Thanks for all the nice compliments. I think the biggest issue with painting, is, everyone thinks it's so easy. It takes years in fact. Those 'W's' and 'Z's' that are so prevalent on all the make over programs are the wrong information for newbies but somehow it's caught on. And no extension pole! Glad you like my videos and all the best on your painting projects.

+Invincible Painting Basics Hi, Rick! Ok, I finished applying the "real coat" of paint after posting yesterday (remember the 1st coat was too thin & didn't cover well). As I look at it today, I can see that I did not use enough paint when I cut in near the ceiling, so now there is a 1-inch line all around where the roller couldn't reach without touching the ceiling. *sigh* My question: will I ever be able to apply enough paint to even this out? I was going to just do the cut in work again before I did another coat of paint (the "real 2nd coat" since the first was too thin) but I wanted to check in here first. Thank you!

+Kikpong91 S Without being there, it's hard to tell you where the problem lies. Sounds like it's just not covering. Another coat or two might be your answer. So many jobs I do require at least 2 coats to cover. The other thing I can tell you, if you've used an acrylic undercoat, (internal gyprock walls) you will have more problems covering.

+Invincible Painting Basics Thank you for the quick reply. Before painting, I did 2 coats of Zinsser Bull's Eye 1-2-3 "water based primer for all surfaces." Yes, I understand the difficulty of giving advice without actually seeing the problem. I had already planned to do 2 coats, and am willing to put as much paint on the wall as is required. I am just wondering: will I ever be able to apply enough paint so that both these areas will even out or will I be doomed to always have that lighter area near the ceiling no matter how many coats are on there? If I am doomed, I guess I could just tell my friends and family that I'm following a new trend from the DIY shows! Thanks again.

Hi Rick, great videos! Can you let the cutins completely dry on final coat before rolling the walls, without getting picture framing? Finding it hard to keep a wet edge with cutins.

@RickBushell1958

9 жыл бұрын

Logan Griffen It depends largly on the quality of paint you are using. But it's much better to sometimes for a diy'er to just cut in maybe one wall at a time then roll, cut in the next wall and roll and so on. I've never really had that problem except when using enamels sometimes. If you are using flat paint, you should easily be able to let dry and roll afterwards. Any paint with a sheen on it will get a bit trickier. Glad you like my videos. More coming up in a few months. Good luck

Excellent tutorial, thank you so much for posting this! I'm a newbie in the process of painting a room and struggling a bit with Behr Premium semi-gloss paint leaving streaks.

This is the best! THANK YOU! I guess you're right, it's not that hard, but to DO have to know some stuff to get it done right. I'm pretty good around the house but have never painted. I ended up with a really impressive job! We made a 1/3 payment to a "painter" who did such a terrible job, and wasn't interested in fixing it, that we had to tell him to walk away; runoff lines all over, (apparently no outside pressure on the pole!), snot or something in the paint that left obvious defects, etc. Having been burned once, I didn't want to do THAT again and figured that I could better than what he had done... I spent quite a few hours prepping the walls to start over again. Then, I watched your fantastic video quite a few times and went for it, knowing what my technique should be: - Home Depot didn't have Lamb's Wool in 3/8" so I got their ones marked BEST. This will probably make you unhappy, but I used one roller per coat and tossed out the used one when done. (I was paranoid about leaving my own defects in the painted wall.) - I used a lint roller for pets to remove any loose material that might be on the roller cover - I strained the paint through the filter nets available from Sherwin Williams because I don't know if his "snots" were from dried paint clumps IN the paint, if he picked up junk on the roller from the floor, or what was going on. Again, THANK YOU! I wish that I had found this video and done it myself in the first place...

Btw, your hired painter, wasn't a painter, so many just like him, scary stuff for sure.

@RickBushell1958

Jane Burke sorry, nothing on hanging or removing wallpapers. The steamer is useless and very time consuming. First check to see if your paper is really paper or vinyl. If it’s vinyl, you can very simply pull the entire sheets off leaving the backing paper on the wall. It’s then about removing the backing paper. Wet the paper, the water will permeate the paper and into the glue. It will now be very easy to remove the backing paper. If it’s really paper on your wall, most papers can be removed by keeping it continually wet. We did this using a roller and a bucket of water. You have to keep going over the wall many times and the paper should start to bubble off the wall. And no matter if you’ve removed paper or vinyl, the entire wall will have to be washed to remove the glue. Otherwise you will have sever problems if you paint over the glue.

Hi Rick. I have to do my stairway that leads to a u turn hallway. Both the stairs and the hall are narrow and along the hallway is a three foot parapet which allows access to the high areas of the stairwell with a short pole. Looks like I will have to do the walls-low- medium- high instead of the full run from top to bottom and vice versa like you recommend. I would like to watch a videos on how you roll stairwells and narrow hallways. Thanks for the informative channel. Jim Reading, PA USA

@@Aussieuke We painted tons of kitchen door and drawer fronts many years ago. And it was always with enamel. We would draw a plan of each wall of cabinets and letter or number them. That letter or number would them be put on the bottom or to edge of the corresponding doors/drawers as you take them off. This rids any confusion, particularly if there are numourous doors of the same size. Most of the cabinets we painted had a clear on them and the client wanted them painted. Remove the hardware, sand smooth with 150/180 grit paper, 1 coat all purpose (or general purpose undercoat (oil base, not water)) sand smooth again with nothing less than 18o grit. And then 1 or 2 coats of enamel to finish. If you are putting on 2 finish coats, make sure you sand between coats of enamel and allow plenty of time to dry. The longer the better. And we always used a roller (mohair) and then finished with a brush. The roller simply allows you to put the material on faster, tho not necessary. Good luck and take your time. :)

I did use a micro fibre some time ago, and although I didn't care for them much, they did work with less splatter than the synthetic rollers. but didn't hold as much paint as the sheep skins. I wouldn't be too concerned as I don't think you would see the difference in performance as it's not your day job. They should do just fine for you. Happy painting Donna. :) Let me know how you go?
