With a roller you will paint at least 4 times longer to get about the same quality as when you spray. Such a quick painting with a roller, as shown in the video, will only look good on RU-vid, but in reality the quality will be terrible)
Exactly correct sir. Im sure YOU know, but just so others can read: With a roller you WILL need multiple coats of paint. Having to wait hours between coats at the risk peeling off the last layer is a nightmare. What could take 1 quick spray will turn into a multiple day long paint project. (The humidity from each layer delaying the dry time of the next)
Cannot stand when they leave the cases on the outlets and light switches. Small details is what makes the job look good. As soon as the electrician comes in and needs to change everything you're going to see all that outlet and light switch spots messed all up paint peeling and everything way to go guys. some people prefer rolling over spraying anyway. But it does depend on the surface and the job.
Rolling is faster that spraying, It takes way too long to cover up and get spray machine ready. By that time the roller guy is in the next room. But, even if you roll you can definitely make a mess with your roller spray. It's not about how fast you paint, it's about how good it is. Is it smooth to the touch,or rough like the Andis mountains. Prime coat MUST be sanded, if you don't sand ,and many painter's don't ,it WILL BE ROUGH. EVERY coat before finishing must be sanded. I don't see anyone showing this sanding part. SO SAD..... I AM MASTER PLASTERER 😎 63
@nickhealy1745 priming wood brings up the grain so it can be sanded. Same thing with drywall. Priming brings up all the paper fibers and dust in the same way as wood ,and then when the priming is hard, it's sanded smooth for final coating. Have a great day.
@@petekobraoutdoors7324 huh. Makes perfect sense, thanks. I'm a joiner who sprays some of my own furniture but this got me curious. I appreciate the genuine reply!
@@adamada101 dry rolling is when you have somebody roll behind the person spray so you get the roller texture and helps make everything even and constant. You never want to paint a room with just spray. Doesn’t hide small defects, and impossible to repair later.
If a pipe bursts, or you need to do other work in a wall, it is far easier to match roller texture and make it invisible then trying to match sprayed on paint. That patch will stand out like a sore thumb and you will need to patch flawlessly and perfect then repaint the entire wall.
As a professional painter and decorator, 18in rollers are ass 🤣 hate using em the look good in videos like this, but when the paint drys you skippers all over the wall, the spraying, well on drywall and interior walls I really recommend that you back roll the wall as you spray, yeah it takes a lil more time but will give you less headaches in the future
@@marissaduhn back rolling is when after you spray a section you have a roller handle with a paint skin (roller skin) and while the wall is still wet, you roll it out with the roller
@@marissaduhn on a smooth surface like finished drywall or concrete yes. What you are doing is adding some stipple (a really light texture from the roller skin) which will make touch ups and repairs easier down the line. When I say easier I mean less noticable. So like if you mounted a TV to the wall and then decided to change walls or just didn't want it mounted when you patch those holes, if you back rolled, the touch up will be less noticable.
@M8Fitness that makes total sense! I have an old house with very (intentionally) textured walls. I was thinking of getting a sprayer because it seemed like less work to paint my entire house white. If there is already a texture would you still recommend backrolling?
They both work the same but if you want to save time and are going to use it constantly use the sprayer ❤ if not the roller will do the job for cheap and can throw away everything
How do you fix the stop start lines? Every time you stop and start with that roller it’s Going to leave a huge horizontal line right? That’s what I battle. I can do what you’re doing but to make it look good not so much
lol if you walked up to that wall there was going to be mad texture from how he was pressing on that roller-he will have to smooth it all out after that aggressive roller “technique” The spray is more efficient paint wise and area wise for a smooth even coat always. It’s just messy and cumbersome with cleaning and everything.
I remember my first day painting my first job painting front of my got me the job I was like 19 or 20 they showed me The bathroom of the unit cut this in like this by the time I was done painting the bathroom and it was a small bathroom they don’t knock the whole unit out I was hooked after that and I was like damn I’m trying to get fast like that👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 three months later four months later if that I had my own crew my own properties 👍👍👍👍👍👍
The roller is exhausting as a single tool, the spray is effective and much easier (coming from someone currently solo painting an apartment complex of over 100 units)
The idea is to really soak the roller and put the excess as wide as you can on the wall. Then when you pass over that excess, you're redistributing it to cover the wall without going back to dip as often.
I was spraying and I needed five feet more and my sprayer started to crap out. Like the paint was drying too quick and clogged it. I still can’t figure it out. I may have to pull out the roller to finish the last five feet.
Just one little detail, the video doesn't show the 20 min of prep he did cutting all the corners top and bottom and the outlets! And Without mention that the tip his using it's 6 inch and for walls you need to use 12 inch tip, to make the job faster.
You need a second coat with the roller. You wouldn’t if you slowed down and dipped the roller at least once more. I prefer the roller more often than not but a sprayer definitely covers completely the first time. Back roll the spray and call it a day.
My dad is a painter once he heard that sticking sound he would’ve been on me gotta keep that roller wet or it’s just gonna take off what you just put on
You’re supposed to back roll when you spray because spray leaves a fine finish and you’re supposed to leave a stipple. Spraying just gets the paint on there quick and then you have a guy back roll it for the finish.v
Yeah but if you only spray paint the walls going to be so smooth then when you have a patch later you going to see the patch or idont think you goin to spray it just the patch so the walls don’t have imperfections.. real painters we do both sprayed and a men on the back roll it
@@danielsegoviano welk there is a graco quickshot for that, ofrpeople should just be carefull not to damage the wall. Id have to add that where i live there isn’t all to much drywall most room dividing walls in our houses are brick or concrete with a stucco layer so there generally isn’t to much patching. People here either choose to spray the wall which is a job for the stukadoor(plasterer) and they wont be backrolled. Or if they want a stipple they choose to get their walls painter with a roller and the job is done by a painter. (Btw i live in the netherlands and if your interested in how we finish our walls you could searchf or stukwerk knauf on youtube and there will be plenty vids)
Because his technique is wrong. Paint 1-2 stripes at a time, back roll both, then reload your nap w paint. Should not have to use much pressure at all when rolling.
Kids at home. This is exactly what you're not supposed to do. Lol Dry rolling for no reason. And take off your switch plates. This is an example of half fast work.
From the comments I've seen on here so far, not even one of them addressed the issue of the face plates for the electrical and light switches. You should either take them off, or very carefully paint around them. Never spray paint, and never roll paint, on them. It's messy, and totally unprofessional! By the way:I like both methods of painting, but I personally prefer rolling.
Still, sprayer will hit floor - Roller can avoid floor ..so you wouldn't need to paper floor. It's all prep time ,so much prep time w a sprayer you need a crew to come out ahead. I'm pro roller whenever you can use one
Try roller when painting a car 😂😂😂. It’s obvious spray will always be superior, there are only few where roller gets the wanted result and that’s this example but for the most part I always prefer spray painting.
