Thanks much! Good info

Great short guide thank you!

You do a skim coat on all of the dry wall? Or you can just prime then paint the dry wall?

Excellent video! This is exactly the info I needed; thanks a lot!

Isn't there a techniques to save paint?

I prefer the US way than UK..plasters just leave crap everywhere.

Ma dumbass putting hella pressure on the roller to get the paint to stick best in the pores lol

Great video! Good insight. ✊🏽

Guess we aren't going to talk about that traffic light you taped over...

There will always be some texture from a roller. If yoi want the wall to look as smooth as paper, you have to use spray.

i was taught get a full roller of paint start quarter the way up the wall roll 3/4s the way up the wall then 3/4s the way down and then all the way up the wall without hitting the ceiling then all the way down to the botom in a straight line then feather off edge the the direction ur going then half lap each line as you go and i always lay it off 5 again rolling the same direction from top to bottom every 5 feet i go. doing it this way puts the paint on evenly and when painting with semigloss or other finishes of paint can be very important to put it on evenly otherwise you get lines and other imperfections. if your using eggshell paint on textured drywall then this isnt really neccesarry cuz that paint is very forgiving with texture but on smooth walls with semigloss paint its easy to mess up and make look terrible

This guy is awesome

Definitely not a union trained painter.

Looks like someone threw sand in his eyes.

Rubbish

This helped me! Thanks 😊 these other comments 😔

Y'all see that tape bubble

You said to "prime the wall before painting" But then you did not tell use who and using what to prime the wall. Do I use dray wall mud or paint primer to prime the wall?

Who would be responsible between a finisher and a painter in sanding the rough spots after priming. It's like the finisher had sanded the Brown on the drywall with electric sandet that made the rough areas. Does the painter always sand after priming. This question determines if I get paid for the time of sanding. Can any one help me.

this is an amateur job. if you want a smooth finish you need to prime your walls with high-build primer, sand it out like there is no tomorrow until its super smooth to the touch, then paint it with a high quality, self-leveling paint and a microfiber roller. sand the first coat and do the second one, spreading the paint out quiet nicely, because if you do what this guy did, its gonna give you orange peel texture. if you dont already know it, just hire a professional painter who comes highly recommended, not a handy man

What do you mean by "soft colour" paint. I thought you would mean nothing too dark, but then you put on a relatively dark grey. I'm not criticizing, I just don't know the terminology.

Thin the paint down so it can sink in on first coat. Then thin it Down again for next to coats and roll an area about 8- 10m2 then with the exhausted roller go back over it and it takes the stipple (orange peel) effect out of the surface

what type of roller did you use in this video?

Looks like shity Behr paint.

Guy looks like Action Bronson wow

i agree they disappeared after a bit
