Having a fully prepped room means you are on the final stage of finish painting. The time goes on prepping (filling, sanding, tapping and etc.) than rolling. The finish depends on how well the walls are prepped.
I hired a painter to do exterior columns on my house!! He spent an hour or two sanding and then painted with inferior paint. I told him to use Benjamin Moore. He did not prime either. The paint bubbled up in less than a year. I painted a year later myself. I spent literally weeks sanding all of his work off. I used primer and paint. That was 8 yrs ago and paint is still holding up!!
All these videos are the same. Don't show the hour it took cutting in , never mind wall prep work. Also , you're splattering paint all over the top of the trim / skirting board.
Seeing as even with a roller, I would often paint really slow, I am thankful for finding this technique. I also noticed the roller is longer and thinner than most paint rollers. So I will try to purchase one like that on my next project. Thanks for sharing. This was very informative, without a word needing to be spoken.
just want to point something out so that you don’t buy the wrong roller, it probably just looks thin because it is longer but he’s probably using a a 14” or maybe even 18” roller with 20mm nap which is why he gets so much coverage… but honestly for any at DIY projects at home I suggest not using this setup as all this really does is allows us professional painters to cover walls faster, I’d stick to the normal 9” roller with 15mm nap cheers!
@@richardward5762, I agree cutting takes time, but obviously not nearly as much as adding taping to that as well. A great cutting brush goes a long way in saving time.
And the part you didn't even mention is that the wall he's painting on has no texture, so he can roll on it lightly. When there is texture, you have to push harder and you may have to go back over it multiple times.
Back in the 80's we used a power roller hooked up to a spay pump. Crew of three. One with the power roller and two coming behind him speading out and rolling off the excess. We would roll out three townhouses a day. Man, how I don't miss those shitty days ! 🤣
AS A PAINTER THAT'S THE EASY PART WE EARN OUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON THE PREP AND CUTTING IN MAINLY ON WALL TO CEILINGS THAT PART NOT ANY BODY CANT JUST DO MOST NONE PAINTERS OVER LAPSE ONTO THE CEILING WITH THE WALL PAINT AND DOESN'T LOOK GOOD OF A JOB MESSY WORK 🙈 MORE TO PAINTING THEN JUST ROLLING😵
Also as a painter.. this guy is not putting a even coat on the walls 🙄 running a dry roller, applying to much pressure on the roller, dragging the paint out.. bet if you look close he will have patches all over them walls once dry.. also he aint fast, he just has the correct size roller for the job..
@@eternity7477 what his doing is called a mist coat, it's when we add water to the paint to thinnen it. normally i would add about 30% water depending on the surface but that's on to fresh plaster. Normally painters do this on to fresh plaster or a new surface etc.. so he is using a 15 inch roller and the sleeve on it is most likely a heavy pile exterior sleeve , that you would use to paint rough exterior walls such as peeble dash etc.. all he has done is dumped aload of paint across the walls and the feathered it out, and due to it being colour paint he looks like his done a great job lol.. and on a wall like that I would probably have to reload paint about 8 times, so gets a nice even coat and saves less work on the second coat 👌 nout worse than having patches or being able to see the cutting lines after 😂 oh the roller sleeve can hold alot of paint compared to a interior sleeve.. that sleeve could prob hold about a litre of paint if fresh 🤔 maybe a bit less..
Great technique, but running the roller so dry only makes stipple (texture) on the wall. The roller is screaming “please use more paint” A roller should glide wet paint on the wall and almost be silent. At the slightest sound add more paint.
I know ow a painter that comes in, smokes about 3 cigarettes. Goes in the house. Complains but still leaves finishing the job in 1 day. I'm looked at him as of he was slow as heck but overall he knocked it out easy. Man can keep his hand steady when cutting the trim
True but painting sells a house and makes it a home, the painters are the last out the door, any imperfections will show through to say your a professional you better do a damn good job too
There is a diffrence between painting and drywal. Just like a dif between hangers and finishers. 3 completely dif aspects to the walls. Oy yeah, theres framing and insulating/vape sealing. But you know what youre talking about😎😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
No professional painter tapes corners out, taping is what makes painting hard. Thats what scares alot of owners off painting their own house. Doing a brush cut is better and faster.
Up until 1:20 he made the walls sound like they were breathing. He was bringing those walls to life! Nice vid. Edit: made them breathe the whole way. Like giving CPR. Brought them walls to life.
@@ahmadalwan9085 a couple of hours to do cutting in ? Bro, you better quit Painting Room like that I will do all cutting in without need for masking in around 10 minutes
@@zdenek7210 obviously you sound like you never held a paint brush in your hand ever. It's not like grabbing a pencil plus you have move your ladder over a hundred times. You have to make sure the two colors from the edge don't emerge and the line is straight. Good luck with your ten minutes.
Awesome painting but the key is the prep. The sanding, cleaning, taping and cutting, that takes the most time. Once done, then the painting won't take long especially for a professional. The nicer the prep, the nicer the wall will look. If I was going to do my own place, best thing to do, is do the prep for all the rooms you want to paint, and then paint it. Get a nice roller, don't cheap out or you can hire a professional like this guy
I get that cutting takes a lot of time... but seriously, how does he get so much coverage in a single 'dip' in the tray? I started painting homes a couple of weeks ago as a side hack and just averaging 2 to 2 1/2 rows per dip on an 8 foot ceiling to wall coat. Is it as simple as loading up the roller a bit more? Eager to learn here. Thank you.
If you are eager to learn the right way....go visit the Idaho Painter's channel. He'll teach you how to roll walls the right way with no lap marks. My diy paint work is definitely better than most because of his tutorials. Lol
By only painting 1 wall at a time, paint the wall before your cut in dries, then move on to next wall. Also using quality paint or adding Floetrol or another paint extender to your material about 3-4 Oz. Per gallon of paint
@@stoyannikolov1017 ah, okay. I really don't know too much about painting. I put some paint on a roller and painted my living room and kitchen. I didn't dilute, but I'm going to look more into that.
You don't connect rolling lines zig zag, especially with latex paint. Roll straight and keep the edges wet for next line then blend. This method will slow your pace but guarantee a better finishing
Why’s everyone keep talking about prep work. If you’ve painted even once you would know that. I’m more interested in the equipment he got. What roller is that (nap) and what size is that roller? What type of sheen you are working with?
@sask 306 When painting it's a good idea to cut in small areas first and roll immediately after so the edges don't dry and cause an area of overlap that can look darker than the rest.
I think, for a novice, hes showing why he painted in a zigzag motion to get rid of the excess paint. If he showed how to paint the edges first you would have complained about why he showed how he took to long to actually paint the wall.
So, the trick is to have a strong man use an 18 inch roller. Gee, thanks How long did it take to prep & cut out the walls, to prep for rolling? All of that counts in time to paint a room, & rolling always goes much faster.
whenever you trimming the WHOLE room first and then start rolling, you will always see the lines of the trim, you trim 1 wall and then roll it right away
I work with a bunch of paintera and they told me of you cut and leave it for too long it can actually show over paint so it's not recommended to cut everything first is that true ?
I find the pre work is more tedious ie) pre clean, pre fill/repair holes, sand, edges etc. the rolling is the best part. Just wondering why they always do a zig zag across the wall first.
How is the finish on that? That roller must be nappy as hell to fill up with that much paint. Close up the wall looks like it has cellulite. Use an airless sprayer, same speed, good finish
2 rows dip 2 rows dip 2 rows 2 rows then back roll... best 8' coverage.. Or 12' with 18" roller. If he did the same pattern with a topcoat I'm guess some might be able to point it out? The w.. hmm.. On another point, definitely confident and skilled at the top with the (rit.)..
