Join me as I repaint my bathroom! It's definitely not the most exciting project in the world, but it needed to be done and it's a great excuse for me to share all of the tips I've learned from more experienced painters over the years. I'm definitely not the best painter in the world, but I've shadowed some very skilled painters and pestered them with a lot of questions.

Best video I’ve found!! 1 thing I would add.. you could take off the tank of the toilet rather than the entire thing. Or at least makes it lighter if you are working by yourself and cannot lift it on your own 👍🏻

@jenns5922 3 года назад

Wow, I would hire this guy in an instant. I've never seen such attention to detail in painting and I've seen a lot of painting jobs. Well done

@ZacBuilds 3 года назад

Thank you Jenn! In my line of work the details are what make the difference so I always try to keep an eye on them :)

There might be other painting videos, but I appreciate your take! This was super helpful. Thank you for sharing! 🙌

@anim8r79 3 года назад

Dude... this was very impressive. Yes, there are a lot of videos on painting available on RU-vid, but yours is extremely well put together, helpful, and easy to watch. Tons of great ideas, and very professionally assembled. I will definitely be checking your channel out for more home tips. I'd write more, but I have a bathroom to go and paint... :-)

@AdamThayer 2 года назад

My wife thought I was crazy for wanting to take the toilet out before painting, so THANK YOU for proving me right! Or at least being crazy with me...

@ZacBuilds 2 года назад

Haha you just need to ask her if she could live with a big bare spot behind the toilet. That's always my arguement 😂

@gordiebrooks 3 года назад

I’ve found that between coats to wrap the brush and pail in gladwrap and put in the fridge. You can to the same with the roller.

@davidthompson5240 2 года назад

Thanks so much for this video. I was "sort of a Boy Scout" and followed all the steps and tips. (I especially loved the high speed demo on how to mix plaster to patch defects.) My newly repainted bathroom looks way better than I expected, and I could not have done it without your excellent and detailed guidance.

Been a fan of the channel recently, so when I was looking for a video on some painting I'm going to do, I was thrilled you had one that covered it perfectly!

@GODLOVERBAM 3 года назад

Another great video! I love that you removed the toilet. Sooooo many people don't because they're afraid of it. It makes things so much easier, and faster! Not too mention, a good excuse to clean part that you normally don't.

@ZacBuilds 3 года назад

Thanks Braden! And you're so right, my bathroom got a deep clean like it's never gotten when I was doing this video, it was a great excuse to clean out every little corner of the space haha. It always surprises me to see how few people remove the toilet when they paint. I've been inside many multi-million dollar new homes that have bare drywall patches behind the toilet!

Wow--this was super handy and you managed to make it interesting too! My eyes usually glaze over during DIY videos while I wait for the useful info but you jumped right into it so THANK YOU!! I'm debating the toilet removal for my own project. I really want to pay attention to detail and I often notice that unpainted area but I'm afraid that I will screw that up and water will be everywhere!

@vassybaby16 2 года назад

Getting ready to paint our bathroom blue with no experience lol wish me luck! My only fear is that the paint will dry with the brush strokes showing through in the corners Hopefully a good brush doesn’t show them

@ZacBuilds 2 года назад

Good luck! A good brush helps and so does a good paint. A good paint will self level as it dries. You'll see brush strokes at first but come back 15 minutes later and they should be gone. You always want to roll as close into the corners as you possibly can. You've got this!

Not only keeping the paint brush.. Also keep the tray by using blastic bag and insert the tray inside and pour the paint over the plastic and keep the tray clean 😁😁.. Dont waste money

@leventkarademir2069 2 года назад

Great video with a lot of useful tips! One question - I dont believe you used a primer, was there a reason for that? Or was the paint you used a "primer and paint in one" type? Thanks!

@ZacBuilds 2 года назад

Great question Levent. So the paint I was using is also a primer, and I think you'll find that these days it's tough to find a paint that isn't a paint and primer. But additionally, when you're applying a latex paint over the top of another latex paint you can generally get away without using a primer. Primers are more for when you're going from an oil based paint to a later OR youre applying to bare drywall (in which case it's really more of a sealer)

@sarahcole1450 2 года назад

Some good tips. But would have been really useful to show a scenario where you had newly plastered walls so you can detail the paint prep, the mist coat etc as this is what seems to be the most complicated (people doing it different ways).

Nothing overly aggressive a nice 120 or 150 should do you well, but 80 or 220 would work in a pinch.

You get little baggies of stuff to throw in the toilet bowl, it gels the water quickly, so nothing can drip when you loft it out.

So how do American or Canadian toilets fill with water?

@theicedevil 11 месяцев назад

So I was watching another video made by a professional paint, and he recommended using Frogtape for masking tape because it's the only painters tape that doesn't leave unnatural harsh lines like the standard blue painters tape does. He said that Frogtape doesn't bleed on the edges making the edges lazer precise.

@naimaA23 3 года назад

Do I need a separate ceiling paint? Or can I use the same paint on my ceiling as I do on the walls?

@ZacBuilds 3 года назад

You can use the same paint as the walls. Often people will differentiate their ceilings by using an extremely flat finish, because it hides imperfections better, but thats more of a stylistic choice than anything else.

Absolutely do not disconnect the toilet water line at the valve. Do it at the tank.

@Daniel-dp5gi 5 месяцев назад

@ibugu215 Год назад

Nice job but I don't think it's really necessary to remove the toilet. Reinstalling it may require replacing the wax ring at the base.

@Pupkiwi 3 года назад

Painters tape or masking tape is great for straight lines. IDK why you didn't just use that

@ZacBuilds 3 года назад

I dont like the hard edges you get when using painters tape. When you cut freehand with a brush you get much softer edges that look more natural
