How to paint a skirting board | Professional decorator show you how to paint your skirting boards!

[@martinpoole1451]

No one in the world has ever used paint stripper on pre-painted skirting, just sand and paint!

[@johnnydevenney1252]

Good to see Neil warnock back in work

[@radioactivepotato2068]

Never ceases to amaze me how many professional painters end up in the comments of how to paint videos.

[@helenahayes6150]

Interesting - I wonder why

[@KeithChegwin24]

Really weird how people are attracted to things they do for a living or enjoy.

[@shure46]

I can just imagine this guy working for me ..... I'd be yelling all day "HEY !!! Are you STILL painting that same ole 3 feet of baseboard ??? My god man , it's 2:30 !!!!!!"

[@rogerlatham195]

Lmao

[@rogerlatham195]

Lmao working for you he can fck about

[@iamreallyright]

Good job. I would recommend using masking tape though. Most of us amateur folks with shaky hands will end up with wavy lines on the wall and floor without it.

[@safichii]

Straight to the point, loved this and super useful! 👏✨

[@rogerlatham195]

[@RinzSach]

I didn’t prime mine and now I notice any small knocks like moving Furniture about causes them to peel slightly, plz use a primer or be prepared to do touch ups. Unfortunately I threw my paint can out and lost my receipt no idea what paint it was.

[@mryan4452]

Good advice, I bought a house recently and noticed bits of paint peeled away on skirting. I suspect they never used a primer. I also suspect they painted water based directly on to oil based paint as it's 'blotchy' in parts, so even more reason they should have used primer.

[@RinzSach]

@@mryan4452 Turns out I have a vague idea what paint it was, my plan is paint and decorate another room same colour and if the paint ll touch up. I'm 99% sure but don't know until I do it.

[@robd2184]

Is there any point to sanding the top layer of paint, you then remove with stripper ? I’m not seeing the benefit

[@06howea1]

No it's stupid

[@06howea1]

Maybe the paint stripper liquid can better oentrate the top layer of paint

[@LuminaD2]

If there is multiple layers of paint like he said in the video , it'll help penetrate deeper layers of paint

[@tomheadington1665]

If you give the wood work a better rub down and dust off with actual sandpaper properly better then using paint stripper (Also bad for the environment). That small brush painting will take you hours if you got loads to do. Was cringe from start to finish with that video. Sorry for being honest.

[@jacobshrimpton]

Really Helpful Thanks Paul!

[@juliematt1997]

As a person just learning to.paint I have not learn how to paint a skirting board I learn to strip clean but not how to paint. I have to try another video.

[@phoenixellis5016]

I'd tuck the masking tape down a bit more...make it almost hug the skirting...loving the goggles 😂

@A S You get a grip you fanny. Just because you were dragged up and never taught any manners.

[@regplate2923]

So you do a quick but poor job then?

[@emic9838]

One layer of paint wont come off evenly with paint stripper. You'll end up with a very patchy, rough skirting board with multiple layers of paint exposed.

[@HobNut-r1f]

😂 Spot the flaws video 😂 And the carpet would be a write off (paint stripper! :(, paint) so best get rid of first, and thoroughly clean. (Fairy, sugar soap.) Sort out any lumps, holes, damage? Paint stripper top layer 😂 of two 😂 (Stripper for major damaged paint on expensive / detailed wood work only! (and so much work) and use cheap / old brushes!) . Better to replace ordinary skirting with new if that bad. Use wider paint brush... Also i use oil based and do 'different' directions each coat, fine light sand in between, so perfectly smooth surface forms, no brush marks etc. etc.

[@alisonvaughan9169]

What sandpaper?

[@beanz_29]

I was hoping to see how you do the corner that meets the wall 😔

Cutting with brush

[@billprezioso3677]

Just caulk it and paint it nothing special

[@aerowilly65]

Blimey!They definitely tried to save money In the making of this video -look at the size of that paintbrush!. It's absolutely tiny.

[@billprezioso3677]

Reminds of back in the day when in New York the union told us to use seven inch rollers instead of Ni

[@tim62744]

Cheaper to remove and paint new skirting then install

[@Vlad_Pa]

That’s exactly what I’ve done. Also in old houses many bugs and dump might be found underneath old skirtings. Well cheaper to replace with new ones primed it’s only £7 per 2.4 meters long skirting’s and you’ll get nice fresh skirtings

[@Lll-s6u]

Thank you 😘😘😘

[@simonevannoli4500]

if I was you I would lift up the carpet, use the hot gun for a faster result instead strip paint, then undercoat or equivalent following paint. You save time and the result will be incredible. Good luck fella

[@jackwardley3626]

A heat gun won't work very well with acrylic coatings

[@pureplay7071]

I'd suggest taking the carpet up first but then that's just me.

I came her to watch a professional painter paint a skirting board but never got the information i needed. I wanted to watch a a professional cut in the board and the wall and all i got was nothing....cheers

A damdabil bit of painting

[@vehbifushe-kosove9700]

Dose any one knows between roll and brush it’s stays a white line when it’s painted with colour please let me know if someone knows what is the problem

[@rogerlatham195]

I'm cerprised he hasn't cerjested removing the skirting board stripping it sanding it priming it undercoating it two coats of gloss then refixing it

[@Vlad_Pa]

That paint stripper made it even worse as surface became not nice and flat

[@valhaynes858]

What about filling in the wood? You would take days to do any job.

[@Dizzifizz]

nice

[@BlackRose-vi2yg]

There is no way the carpet would not get dirty doing all this. 🤷🤷

[@helenahayes6150]

That paint stripping seriously looks like a nightmare.

[@jackwardley3626]

yes a lot of paint strippers ain't very good now and 99% are water based which means you have to washed them off after as well on top needing about a coat paint stripper per coat of paint now

[@donlunn792]

Today’s paint stripper is a joke. Might as well just sand it “Properly”

That is not how you paint a skirting board!!!
