Thanks Braden! And you're so right, my bathroom got a deep clean like it's never gotten when I was doing this video, it was a great excuse to clean out every little corner of the space haha. It always surprises me to see how few people remove the toilet when they paint. I've been inside many multi-million dollar new homes that have bare drywall patches behind the toilet!

@ZacBuilds2 жыл бұрын
Good luck! A good brush helps and so does a good paint. A good paint will self level as it dries. You'll see brush strokes at first but come back 15 minutes later and they should be gone. You always want to roll as close into the corners as you possibly can. You've got this!

Great video with a lot of useful tips! One question - I dont believe you used a primer, was there a reason for that? Or was the paint you used a "primer and paint in one" type? Thanks!
@ZacBuilds3 жыл бұрын
Great question Levent. So the paint I was using is also a primer, and I think you'll find that these days it's tough to find a paint that isn't a paint and primer. But additionally, when you're applying a latex paint over the top of another latex paint you can generally get away without using a primer. Primers are more for when you're going from an oil based paint to a later OR youre applying to bare drywall (in which case it's really more of a sealer)

He said that Frogtape doesn't bleed on the edges making the edges lazer precise.

You can use the same paint as the walls. Often people will differentiate their ceilings by using an extremely flat finish, because it hides imperfections better, but thats more of a stylistic choice than anything else.
