Tip, when cutting in, ;eave about a half of an inch gap between the edge and your paint line. The reason for that is once the paint dries a bit you go back and do the final cut in, the paint brush will move over the painted surface much smoother and much easer to control those fine motor skills and you will get a much better cut in without making the occasional mistake and getting paint on the ceiling or baseboard.

Helpful video! But I have always been confused - by cutting in with a thick or semi-thick coat and then rolling another 1-2 coats of paint over that then doesn't the cutting in portion end up getting the equivalent of 4 coats of paint vs the wall getting 2 coats? I have done that in the past and it ends up looking like a ring of extra paint, especially around the ceiling/wall intersection. How do I avoid this?
@mrsashleyfrench3 күн бұрын
So I don't roll over the cut-in portion. I only roll up to the cut-in portion and just barely overlap it where the two areas meet. If you are using a quality paint, it won't matter if you do get some of the rolled paint onto the cut-in portion because after 2 coats of quality paint, the paint is as dark or pigmented as it will be (whether you layer 2 coats or 4). Now, if you are using a lower quality paint (like the cheapest one on the shelf), then it may actually take 3-4 coats of paint to reach the full depth of the color and in that case you may be able to see a difference in darkness between the cut-in area and the rest of the wall. Also, I had a friend paint with me once and she would put barely any paint on her roller and when she rolled the wall the layer of paint she was applying was so thin. If you do this, then your walls will take more than 2 coats to reach the full depth of the color and you would be able to see a difference between the cut-in and the rolled area. Make sure you have an adequate amount of paint on the roller and when the paint starts to roll thin, add more paint to the roller. :)

I always do a thick coat for the cutting-in so that I don't have to go back and do a second coat.

Doing a nice thick coat with a brush is equivalent to doing two coats. :)

The sheen doesn't have to be different but I will say that semi-gloss paint is much easier to wipe clean so most people use semi-gloss on the baseboards and trim. Since this was my office and my son doesn't come in this room much, I just used the same matte sheen in here since I don't think the trim will get dirty. Plus the darker color does help to hide fingerprints so I don't think I'll need to wipe the trim or baseboards much.

No, the walls were pretty much dried when I applied the second coat. If you are using a good quality paint (not the cheapest brand in the hardware store), you typically don't need to use a primer. Most quality paints are now a paint+primer in one. The only time I have seen a primer needed is if the current wall color is a shade of red or burgundy and you want to paint it white. Otherwise, two coats of a good quality paint is usually all you need to cover an old color.

@mrsashleyfrench21 күн бұрын
I always recommend peeling off wallpaper if possible. I would use a spray bottle, spray the wallpaper, let it sit for a few minutes and peel it off starting in the corner. You can also use a clothes steamer to steam the wallpaper first and then peel it off (steam in sections at a time). You can't really sand wallpaper, it will start tearing and shedding if you sand it. As an absolute last resort, if the wallpaper was become permanently stuck to the wall, you can seal it and paint over.

The paint cans usually say they will cover 350sqft of surface space which is roughly a 12ftx12ftx8ft height room with 4 walls. But I am usually able to get two full coats out of a one gallon can (especially if the room has a window, door, and closet since those openings take away from the total square footage of the paint surface). If you are painting an average bedroom, one gallon should do.

A lot of people will tell you not to clean your brushes out in your sinks inside your home but if that is your only option, that is fine. Just use a lot of water and let it run for a good bit so the water really dilutes the paint going down into your pipes and prevents any build-up from the paint.

I only do one semi-thick coat when I cut-in. I don't do two coats. I do try to roll the wall immediately after cutting in that wall so technically the edges of the paint are still wet but I do not think its matters if the cut-in has already dried. I also try to remove the tape when the paint is still wet but that's because I've been burned in the past with paint peeling off that I let dry on the tape for a few days. I have found that FrogTape brand tape is my fave and doesn't peel the dry paint off like some other brands.

The whole W pattern is the perfect example of a terrible idea that gets passed around over and over and over again because people saw a video on it. Granted, most people are not an anal retentive nut bag like me, but I demand perfection from myself when painting. I mostly paint with 18 inch rollers because painting an entire room with a 9 inch roller is to time consuming in my opinion. I apply paint to the roller and start applying it to the wall exactly between the floor and ceiling. I go up to the ceiling and down to the floor in one smooth motion and repeat four times. I go back to my pan and reapply paint to my roller and then overlap the next roll about 2 inches into the previous roll, start in the middle of the wall and hit the up down, up down four times and repeat. Why I do it this way is that you are GUARANTEED to not have a single roller mark on the wall. The paint will be applied in a consistent manner from top to bottom. If you don't believe me, lay your head up against a wall and look down its length, if the painter is an amateur you will see roller marks ALL OVER the wall. If they are a pro, you will see nothing. Using the W and rolling is a bunch of different directions to fill it in is going to ALWAYS leave roller marks all over the wall as well as inconsistent paint thickness on the wall which will come out in the right light. When I was a painter full time I could roll out a two story three bedroom, two bathroom, living and dining room and kitchen in a single day with it coming out perfect.

I'm not sure if I understand what is happening but It sounds like you have too much paint on your roller. Try putting less paint in your paint tray, then lightly roll your roller into the paint in the tray, then roll your roller in the paint tray on the slanted surface of the tray (where there is no paint) to get a lot of the excess paint off your roller. Then when you roll your roller on the wall, you shouldn't get any kind of blob or anything.

This is an ok way to do things but there are better and faster ways to cut straight lines and roll without leaving roller lines. Hold the brush like a pencil and press it into the wall to spread out the bristles as you move it. Start out a little away from the corner you are painting your line in and move into it as you go. With the bristles sufficiently fanned out they will find the corner you are painting your line in and you can quickly paint straight lines. When you roll, once you’ve got some paint spread out on the wall, you want to finish by rolling all the way up and down the wall, putting slightly more pressure on the leading edge of the roller as you go. That’s how you avoid roller lines and stop/start lines in the middle of the wall.

Why not just buy the liner? No need for the bucket
@mrsashleyfrench13 күн бұрын
Do you mean use a liner only and no paint tray?

Damn it’s hard to focus on the tips when the instructor is just so beautiful 😍 if your single, which I doubt since you can have any pick of the litter, but I’d love to take you out. Just so I’m not just some internet stranger I’ll tell u about myself. I am 6’3 nerd with kind of athletic/thin build, work in humanitarian aid because I’m a trust fund baby and since I don’t have to worry financially I decided to spend my time helping people less fortunate. I inherited a 11 bedroom, 8 bathroom home with a pool house that has another 2 bedroom/2bath that I sadly live in by myself at the moment (hopefully that changes lol). So just reply back if interested. Take your time too, I’m sure you’re busy getting prepared for miss universe

What lines? My cutting-in? They looked great when I was done with this room :)

Not a very environmental way of painting using plastic liners, once covered in paint, they are not recyclable

Can you suggest some better alternatives? I am always open to a more environmentally friendly option.
