Best tip I ever got was if you are painting walls and trim, go ahead and paint the trim first and don't worry about getting trim paint on the walls. It's easier and faster to cut in a wall than trim
Still there. So was the drip he had to point out. This guys so over rated. Another non teaching moment. So many other things he could have gone into. Glad he got the two fingers thing in though....there's a hidden gem!
What I have noticed is that all Americans and Canadians using a flat brush instead of a rounded brush. In my country (the Netherlands) most things are always painted with a rounded brush. Can anybody explain this please?
Painting is not difficult. Prep can be very difficult. There are way too many videos showing painters cutting in, and not nearly enough detailed prep videos.
Well for all of you who think that he is a master of painting I have to tell you that the guy is less than average painter who got lucky to be picked up by this old house
@@rickfromthecape3135 my complaint isn’t with him, it’s with how basic this video is. In 2021, there can’t be many people who haven’t already seen these super-basic tips elsewhere on YT

I've been using the two finger technique since high school
lol
Same
Yeah... On your mom.
My wife and I just bought our first home (yes, in this market...), and I am *binging* on these videos. Thank you *SO* much, TOH. You are a goldmine.
I said it a hundred times before, but I’ll say it again: Mauro is the boss when it comes to paint
I like to use a small Wooster 2" stubby angle sash brush when doing the baseboard top edge
Yup, the stubby brushes with the rubber flexible handles are awesome
Learned a lot about the paint brush! This is why I constantly have more paint on my paint brushes. Ty for this video!
Also Mauro forgot to mention that a painter needs to have a small spatula to use it with wet rag.
Is it just me or is that dab he tried to wipe off still there?
it was, but I,m sure u can do better
@@rich52movie I'm sure I can too. But thanks for the vote of confidence. Cheers

@@rickfromthecape3135 he paint you under the table though
Thanks for your advice I love this old house I've been watching them for years much love for you all my friends 🙏
As always good questions and good tips. I'm glad to see there are others who get shaky when painting a small area.
The Godfather of house painting is Mauro hands or two fingers down. Blessings
Can he teach us what type of brush is best for each job
All bout that nylon blend from corona or Wooster for me when I use brush on trim
I go even less than 2 fingers when doing baseboards. I just want paint on tip of brush 👍

Great job 👏
Mauro is an expert. I think doing a professional paint job is probably the hardest thing. Right behind keeping my wife happy.
Expert in what? It's definitely not painting. Lol

Mauro is such a legend, try to find a drop of paint on him or his clothing - won’t happen. I ruin everything I wear after the first coat.
I cut in with a 4” straight brush. Never tape.
The real trick to painting like a pro: do it a lot, a whole lot.
I love the first one 😅💋

Absolutely agree. It's hysterical how the tv audience actually view these "television tradesmen" as crafted professionals. Thanks HGTV.
Mauro is not in enough videos
Imagine how much better that line would be if you used a cut in brush of excellent quality instead of that bushy POC he was using.
I'm sure Mauro is using the best quality brushes when he's on the job. But for a demo, he's using crap he can just toss in the bin.
@@PsycotikMind Which sure doesn't help the viewer.
Not like a pro, crooked line...
Yea not sure why one would paint the the wall first and then the trim. Paint the trim first and cut the wall, so much easier and better line
@@vincentsprung5810 I really don't understand why he's on the show.

He usually paints better after a twelve pack of Tecate.
Eew
