How to Paint a Room - Basic Painting Tips 

I came here to paint my house this lady out here got me doing maths

these videos are def helpful if you've never painted before. as a painter, all I can say is be sure to prep the surfaces for best results. God speed

Paint trim first. Much easier to cut walls to trim than visa versa. When painting trim first it doesn’t matter if you get some on walls as will be covered with wall paint. Much easier and faster. Added benefit is the trim paint that overlaps on to the walls will provide a nice base for the wall paint and usually means that on the second cut you don’t need to get the brush and wall paint less than 1/8 th of an inch to trim.

I thought I knew how to paint a room. I really didn’t want to mess this one up so I decided to take five minutes to watch a tutorial, and I am so glad I did. Thank you for all of these little tips that will make my room look less sloppy than how my last painting attempt looked.

My dad was a professional painter for 25 years and we never put the paint in the fridge next to the food.

I swear to god @Lowe’s if my mom sees me put the roller of paint next to the food she kicking me out.

This will help many people! Thanks for sharing! ❤🔥

Whew chile i don't think I'm ready lol

Ceiling, trim then finish coat.....also use a rolling tray and not a 5 gal bucket then you don't have the mess. And you don't have to put the roller or brush in the fridge if you need to use it again after wrapping.

Why am I watching this I don’t even need to paint anything I just have a test due in half an hour

When you finish rolling, scrape the roller into the paint can, not down the drown. Use your paint stick to scrape it.

When decorating, 75% of the job is moving/tripping over the furniture.

This was actually pretty helpful and comprehensive.

Paint in this order - ceiling, trim, walls. Agree that you have to freehand the wall-to-ceiling trim. You can't tape that. I've never even heard of that actually! I also find that if you want a clean tape line on your baseboards, don't depend on the tape to not bleed through after you're done painting the walls. Paint your baseboard, or at least the top of your baseboard, the color you want it (typically white), THEN tape it, paint the baseboard color again over top of the tape where it meets the wall, let it dry, and then finish with your main wall color over that. Because your main wall color can't bleed through, you'll find the baseboard trim lines will be absolutely crisp with no bleed through when you take the tape off.

imagine leaving your roller and brushes in your customers fridge 😂

Wow, this advice is very contrary to what another video on Home Renovision DIY's channel said. They said never be tempted to turn the roller in a different direction, that the texture will be slightly different and that you should just do shorter strokes if you need to (like below windows), but stay in the same direction. I kind of agree with that.

Been a while since I've seen a video with no ads. Thank you

As a painter i can say he’s speed is like anyone’s else and important thing when you paint…don’t rush and try ALWAYS to have paint on roller.

I love the smell of math in the morning.

The best painter ever

Thank you

I like these tips. I never can get those rollers clean though. I talked to a painter once and he told me he always throws his paint rollers after a job because it's too much work to clean them.

I truly appreciate you taking time out to postthis video. Often times, there isn’t enough detail in the video to get you going. I really look forward to seeing more on it soon. Once again, thanks for sharing it.

Pro tip, do the ceiling first, then trim and baseboards, then colour last. Saves time!

Umm.... so prepping the walls isn't necessary? Got it 🙄 1. Wash the walls with TSP 2. Rough sand (grit size will vary) and patch any holes with compound/spackle 3. Sand patches and irregularities with a finer grit (I like 1500) to smooth out walls 4. Wipe walls with sponge and clean water to remove dust and let dry 5. Watch this video and follow the steps. Oh and don't be a dodohead and put your rollers in the fridge. Wet a paper towel and squeeze water out so its damp enough but not dripping and wrap around rollers and brush. Will be good for the next day. Lol, prep is key and will make all the difference. ;) Cheers!

you don't put a paint roller or brush in the fridge...NEVER

High info density video. Nice.

This’s video is very very useful and inspire me to do for my bedroom next weekend! Thanks for easy tips.

A nice coat of paint can complement as well as add a lot of curb appeal to a home too

V. useful vid., i'd strongly recommend using a face shield tho, AND head covering also.

Thank u ma'am for ur basic steps which is very useful

Great! Now i can finally paint my brown retreiver gold!!!

Thanks. Very well done video. Straight and to the point.

Scott Steiner can help you out with figuring out the square footage. Make sure you add Kurt Angle into the mix.

great

Thank u so very much , this helped me more than any other video

Literally the best painting video on youtube. Thanks fam.

Thank you for being CONCISE! ❤

Pity we have to use imperial measuring. Metric is just so much easier.

Okay this is to many steps I just printed my room today and all I had to do was get paint on a roller and paint the majority of the walls and take a 1inch brush and go over the edges and the spots that the roller can't get and call it done. Doing that it took me about 3 hours where as doing what's on the video would take me double the time

Lets be real You want a new room but no one can paint it cuz we are in quarantine edit: i got a new room lmao

Pros don't tape ;) they cut using high quality brushes. I'm pretty good at it now and it saves me so much time. I can paint a 12x12 room in 50-60 mins.

Thanks! Very informative and helping.

Shouldn’t you paint the trim first since it’s easier to tape off??

Nice demonstration 😊

I like this video

2:37 Great tip!

Step 6: now call a professional painter to fix up your mess.

Seems easy enough. Can’t wait to paint my living room.

Thank you this video helps me a lot

Today, I'm gonna have a Blue Paint Burger

Geezes all I want to do is just repaint my walls, this video gonna give me a aneurism with all this stuff

I really need to repaint my room. It hasn't been painted since before I was born. It's been 20 years now.

Thank you for the useful input.

Great ! Thanks.

When are you supposed to use primer

omg thanks for the tips

In contrast with the previous tranquil woodland garden

i have a problem with edges. When we use the brush for the edges its shows a difference shade of the paint. Any advice on that?

You can also put the roll in the water to use it...

How long should it take for you to paint a 10 feet x 10 feet wall?

Thanks for the info.

*Peace & Love*

Happy Christmas 🐧🐧

Thank you.

Wall putty or wall primery which one will be better

So nice mam ..i was finding your video ...

I like the way you paint.you are a very good painter. I am indian painter , can I get a job.

Watching this right after I opened the paint bucket. 😅

You don't need to use tape.Use a small brush e.g. 1 inch brush to cut in.

Thank You ! ❤

Thanks

1. Watch this video. 2. Follow video instructions. 3. Buy everything you will need before starting. 4. Work slowly 5. Screw it up. 6. Live on the streets.

Awesome video!! Hopefully Home Depot has all the stuff I need 😃

What a good program

The 5in1 tool cleans paint rollers?! 3:25

3:27 How bow dah?!

Getting a lot of vocabulary words from here for a client, thanks

I have been a painter and decorator for 35 years I don't think she's held a brush for longer than 35 minutes.

Put in the fridge. Wtf.

Painting makes room net and clean

I personally don’t like to clean rollers, paint brushes, etc in the home sink. I have been told that

Cool thanks!
