Why Prime walls before you paint ? 

Thank you very much for the kind comment, much appreciated

@@TheCanadianHomePainter can you tell me how long does red oxide primer last once Opened?

Haha thanks , I sometimes think I'm going too slow I appreciate the comment, thanks for watching!

I'm glad you found it helpful. I try to make a new video every couple weeks to offer my tips

Thanks for commenting! I'm always glad to hear when someone found my videos helpful and it's always good to save some money too 👍🏻

May I ask what products you recommend in terms of like rollers and primers. Our walls are a dark beige with brown trim and accent walls. I’ll be painting either white duck or shoji.

@@HappilyeverHart I use a few different products, I like bennett for rollers and brushes , and I like to use sico or Benjamin Moore for paint and primers

I'm glad to hear that. It's always nice to know my videos are helpful 😌

I'm glad you found it helpful

Did you go back and prime and painted?

Thanks ! I appreciate the comment

You are very welcome, thanks for watching and for thr comment

I've watch many videos too, I think everyone has the ways they like and in the end it's all pretty much the same result. I can roll the ceiling and walls in any direction and it's great when done. Thanks for watching and for the comment I always like the feedback and questions

You're welcome, I'm glad you found it helpful 😊

You're welcome, thanks for watching and for the comment

Thanks 😊

Thanks !

Your welcome! Thanks for watching I use a few different ones, but a great primer for many different purposes has to be Bullseye 123

I have been using this brand called Bennett for many years they have many different paint products

PS watching from Australia, just did a room with primer and wondering if I need two coats (or even three) because I can see through my primer

Hi , yes the poles work great. I think the primer I would have used here is called Bullseye 123, it's great for anytime of priming the company is zinsser Hope this helps

@@TheCanadianHomePainter Thank you!

Hi there, yes I use the same primer on walls and ceilings doors and trim. I use a few different brands of paint, the best paint on the market in Canada is definitely Benjamin Moore. If you go to the store they should be able to help you with all your needs, well I guess you will have to call them first and make sure they are open and doing curbside pickup if you are in Ontario. Hope this helps

Hi, I did the corners after, the most important part is to make sure you roll the whole wall, sometimes you can see through thr paint after and see the primer, so that's why you need to roll the whole surface

Hi there, thanks for watching and for the comment and question. I have used all kinds of brushes and all sizes, a number of years ago i found the perfect brush for me and what i do, mostly interior house painting, and that was the 1.5 inch angled Bennett proffesional series brush. I do like to wash them first a couple times before using because it will open up the brush a bit wider and thicker. Which I find is just right for me to get crisp straight lines. Bennett is a Canadian company and the products are made here in Canada. If you are in the states you might want to check with your local paint store to see if they carry them. Perhaps a home depot would as well. Glad you enjoy my videos 😊👍🏻 I try to keep creating contend on this channel as much as I can

@@TheCanadianHomePainter Thank you! The closest thing we would have is the Wooster brand so I'll go take a look at HD. Also, did you water down the paint at all? It goes on so smooth, like butter? Is that the brush doing that? I just never thought I'd be able to use a much smaller brush because my husband always buys the 3-4" angled brushes and they're huge and hard to work with.

@@suzanx I dont water down the paint, I will only use a couple brands of paint though, Here in Canada Benjamin Moore is number one, but a close second is Sico which is now a PPG product. And those 2 give me the best results, they aren't cheap but well worth the money. As for the brush, I have to male sure the wash and dry them a couple time which will expand them to about 2 " give or take. Right out of the package they aren't what I like. Wooster is a great brand as well , very popular here too, try out the inch and a half and see what you think

That carpet was being replaced so I didn't need to worry about it

They could be taking out the carpet after

Hey, yes I would prime, I like using just white primer then if there is paint on ceiling or trim i cover it with the white primer, then start with a new fresh line cut. After that i always put on 2 coats of the paint. Hope this helps, thanks for watching and for the comment

Hi, yes that's right

@@TheCanadianHomePainter After 10 hours on RU-vid i just realized I'm not a painter...I'm hiring a painter. Thanks bro 👍

@@devinmoran59 that might not be a bad idea, it does take some time to get good at painting. Make sure you hire a company that someone you know has used the services before and were very happy. It's best if you can go and check out the finished product on a job they did. That's my only advice when hiring.

You can , I have sanded before I paint, but I have also not sanded and it was fine. Thanks for watching !

I use a roller sleeve by a Canadian company called Bennet, I have used them for years. I typically use the 10 mm thick sleeves.

Hi there, in the case of this video the reason was for covering the drywall repairs. If I don't prime I see where the repairs were behind the paint, the primer works to conceal those areas. If you don't have repairs and you are painting latex paint over previous painted latex then you should be fine. Hope this helps

You should have a fairly steady hand, I would use a 1.5 inch brush which will help with control. I have a few videos demonstrating how I do the edging or cutting around ceiling and trim

@TinaRussell-e6e to be honest I am a bit confused too So I'll just tell you what I do I use bullseye 123 primer om the new drywall, then I go over that when it's dry with 2 coats of latex paint I don't use a mask ( probably should have over the last 20 years of doing this lol) also I don't wear gloves again maybe I should have Also yes I did have a client once change her mind about painting because she has birds too and was worry about the smell vocs etc So I am not sure if this info will help you out let me know if this clears thi is up or if I have now made you more confused lol Thanks for the question

@@TheCanadianHomePainter haha thank you for replying! I guess I need to return the Fast prime 2 for this other kind?`You said she changed her mind though, is that because the Zinsser smelled too bad?

@TinaRussell-e6e no because she was really worried about her birds , I didn't know that they are so sensitive to odors I don't know much about that just from what she told me

It had nothing to do with what primer or paint, she did some research online and just didn't want anything to happen to her birds

Good question, the reason being if light shines in on the wall , you will most likely see the primer through the paint. I know from my experience that can happen and it doesn't look good, if you prime the entire surface you won't see where you primed

@@TheCanadianHomePainterso it’s better just the prime the entire room?

Not really lol

that's what she said

You need to make sure you put on wallpaper sizing, ask for it at the store and they will know what it is

Well I always make sure to do the whole surface, I find with spot priming in certain light I can still see the repair, but when I prime it just seems to cover.

But everyone has to find what works best for them

Hey! Wow all the way from the Philippines 😊 The Primer wont look as good as the paint, if you are worried about it there is no harm in giving it a light second coat. Thanks for watching and for the comment

Usually yes but that old carpet was being replaced

I do the corners too, sometimes I do it before I roll and sometimes after, with priming it really doesn't matter in what order

Yes I do to , but sometimes I use the same can of primer on the ceiling and trim too, so that why it's better for that to just not tint it

Thanks , sorry your project didn't turn out the way you wanted. I have been doing this for over 15 years so I guess that's why i make it look easy. Thanks for watching the video and for the comment

Its water based

Open ya ears then mate cause you’ll be the only one that can’t
