      Ok so don’t get an angled brush and if you tape everything you don’t need a brush that small either it also doesn’t matter how you hold it unless you are cutting your own straight line then you should hold it like a pencil. Use a roller pole and don’t hand roll it from the ground like these idiots hahaha

    Love these videos! HELPFUL TIP: I always cut the strip of the paper paint swatch with the name and sheen of the paint color of the room. Then I tape it to the inside of the light switch cover. That way if I don’t have the paint can for the room in my garage, I can take the light switch cover off and see exactly what I used in the room if I need to touch it up.

Now I’m going to the store and buy the bucket and practically everything. When you are painting with the brush it is clear that you know what you are doing. Love it.

    Awesome video! I saw all the blue tape that was used around the room. The paint brush that I would suggest is the 2 1/2 Richard gooseneck flexible paint brush extension. What is so unique about this paint brush is you can bend it and put it on the end of your extension pole. You won’t need to go up and down a ladder as much! You can purchase this unique paint brush at Lowe’s. Cheers!

    About ten years ago, or maybe longer, I painted our whole teeny, tiny condo. There was this one wall, that I had to paint like 5 times as it kept soaking it all up!! Then when we went to sell, the real estate lady that came to assess the place said the paint looked terrible and we should paint the whole thing. I had others come over and say it looked great!

  • @pauld9847
    @pauld9847 5 років тому +29

    Paint your trim first. It is so much easier to cut into your trim compared to cutting to your wall.
    Even more so if you're going to tape everything anyways. That way you only need to tape once.

      @@diyenlightmentpath6102 I use to paint for a company and pretty much everybody used a different method variation even down to cleaning your brushes and containers. I learned a lot and did it for two summers while in college. I do prefer this method because you only have to tape once. After half a summer I was just using a cardboard box piece with a straight edge and not taping because it was faster but it also stopped the paint from getting on the trim or the wall.
