      You're missing out bruh. Because food with paint in it is simply the best. I feel bad for you. You better start putting paint in your food to really experience the vibrant nutrients that are locked inside of the food, and inside of the paint. It's really delicious.

  • @kevinward8652
    @kevinward8652 6 місяців тому +19

    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.

    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.

  • @iamthemiracle81
    @iamthemiracle81 3 роки тому +40

    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!

    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.
