Don't ever water down yr paint, your taking away the paints natural properties that maintain the paints durability, also makes for more splatter. You always should cut in with a mini roller unless you're not painting the walls, use a brush amd mini roller. Never cut in with the big roller. Also start from a window or light source so you can see the wet line. I've been a painting professional for 25 years.

@@e33d90 The guy who posted makes some very good points, the reason I know this is because I too used to be a professional decorator! You piss the paint out with water only to paint new plaster walls as a 'miss-coat', at a 50/50 water to paint ratio. Otherwise why thin out your paint? You want solid coverage with the best possible opacity

@TheHungryTrollRawrАй бұрын
@@e33d90 mate, he explains the problem in his comment! If you thin paint out, it effects and weakens the durability of the coat. Remember thinning paint out loses the coverage too, sometimes you may have to add an extra coat just because you thinned the previous coat out - I mean that's counter productive, especially when you're trying to earn money! The body of the paint is made so unthinned provides the absolute best coverage possible - aka it looks better. You get two types of decorator remember, theres the ones with really good names and then theres the cowboys! Another tip, I used to work with a lad in the old firm I worked for, who always thinned out the gloss paint, you seriously see the dfference when it's dry compared to another decorator. His finish lost LOADS of the finished shine, as well as his paint looked more see though! I swear to God we worked on expensive new build houses, they sold around £250,000 each and I was 17-18 at the time, I'm 47 now, to give you an idea. The woodwork looked stunning when prepped and painted properly, you would see the thinned out gloss in the ones my mate painted and it really looked weak. Shocking tbh

Always amazes me how much and how often those skills come into play in just about *any* trade. So that's why, kids, knuckle down and pay attention in school during algebra, calculus, and your trig classes. Much more to the trades than manning a jackhammer or doing demo work. There is literally no trade or field where you won't use some aspect of those "impractical" (when you're 15, 16, or 17) math skills. Case in point; the simple planning out of painting a ceiling.
