I work in a high end retirement community. I paint all day long. Your videos have helped me so much. Everyone always ask me how did you learn to paint so well. They tell me it is very therapeutic watching me paint. I tell them that I’ve been doing it a long time and I have a great teacher on KZbin called Paint Life Tv. I know it takes time to publish these videos. Thank you for the time you spend to teach people the art of painting the correct way. Keep teaching my friend.

[@Idahopainter]

Thanks for sharing Mike

[@deniswatts4574]

It's amazing how trends change, when I was serving my apprenticeship nearly 40 yrs ago, nobody painted, everything was papered, now its mainly painting and maybe paper a feature. I served my time under the best person I've ever seen paper. His name was Paddy Nolan who has long since departed this mortal coil, he was 60 when I was 18 but he made going to work good craic as we say in Ireland, treated me like son. He was great friends with my father, hope they are having a pint up above.

you won’t believe I just came to your 5-years old videos, and now yours 5-days ago. this is dedication. thank you!

Glad to help

[@integrapainters]

I’ve followed you since the days of B&K Painting and I want to thank you for all of the time and effort you’ve put into your videos. You’ve taught me a lot and helped me be confident enough back in the day to start my own business. I still show your videos to new hires and trainees when they have questions.

Great video once again on proper layout and boxing of paint. Great tips. Love your channel. Rock on Chris!

Very informative! God bless you!

[@JCO847]

Thanks Chris - I have watched a lot of your videos and credit you for teaching me many things that have improved my DIY painting (like a cut and roll bucket, cut in technique, etc). I am SURPRISED to see you using Behr paint. I bought Behr as a DIYer but am amazed by the hate on Behr from most pro painters. I will say that Behr can be a little sticky and if I rework it at all it will show lap marks so gotta paint once, lay out once and then move on and hope it doesn't sag haha.

[@cathyjohnb14]

I cannot thank you enough! For 50 years I have not really known how to paint...I watched a few of your videos, especially this one, and I was completely shocked at the end result. One of my biggest issues was that i was a little too frugal on my equipment. I received a box from your online store last week, i had no trouble with the roller separating from my Tiger roller, it was locked in tight. There was no microfiber fuzz on my walls. It was on the second coat when I really found a good rhythm in applying your methods. The end result was a beautiful finish. Thanks again.

Slava Ukraine! Down with russia's war!!

[@jeremyr7147]

Great technical video as usual.. if im doing 1 color I can do all that with roller down to 1/4 inch from floor. If your a 9 inch king like me.. " I 9 inch everything" 😂 (Long as it doesn't have to be perfect with brush strokes on base.) Standard 9 inch fills all the corners no problem thats how I was taught in the 90s.. also ive never used a pan since i went pro..🤷‍♂️

[@deanofdisplacement]

If you end up doing a 2nd coat..... is it necessary to paint the perimeter again? So it's wet when you do the whole wall? (I'm concerned about color changes)

[@jeremyr7147]

In new construction, for say Pulte homes. They want up and down rolling with perfect angle overlap. When completed the houses would be inspected and dotted for any inconsistency in the roller lapping. Its just how it was. But this way your doing is more perfect. Former Union painter in Chicago.

[@jeffdickens7019]

I always sand my walls first if using dark colors I always use floetrol only roller types I use our lambs wool or sheepskin purdy paint brush or Worcester and always good quality paint

[@Idahopainter]

Thanks for your thoughts

[@Uncensored-Updates]

When do u apply primer

[@jeremycagle3890]

So many ppl on tik tok an professionals that don’t know how to roll but you sir know how! Always lay off the paint too to bottom especially on darker colors

[@Idahopainter]

Thanks Jeremy

[@joseesquivel3988]

I'm not a painter but used an airless sprayer for my living room it has smooth walls. I've sprayed it 4 times and still get shiny overlaping marks. Now I want to try using a roller. Would I still have to cut the corners with fresh paint even though it's the same paint I'm going use and is a Speacial roller to get the minimum texture of paint on my smooth walls

[@remy12]

Is it ok to use a 1/2 inch roller instead of 3/8? I prefer to because the roller holds more paint, looks the same and faster.

[@Idahopainter]

Depends on the finish you are after

[@rcarioca]

I once saw someone use a wide roller and use the strangest technique to paint the ceiling corners. He would very strongly roll and ram the roller into the corner and rely on the heavy pile squishing paint out to both sides of the corner so he wouldn.t have to brush

[@Fabulousprofound168]

If backrolling did not get an even finish after it has dried, can it be painted over again or do I have to sand the entire wall down and start over?

[@Idahopainter]

You need to sand

[@chrisdubs121]

Is anyone else asking why you put a quarter gallon on that wall is it just the one coat cover or do you just dip your roller that much? I usually get 2 rollers wide on each dip never had a problem flashing

[@Idahopainter]

No one

[@chrisdubs121]

@Paint Life TV hey man, I respect and learn a lot from your channel. I'm just asking if that's normal. I've been painting 15 years is the reason because of the 1 coat cover or because of the dark hue

[@1988josip]

We spend 500 euros on black color and thing was leaving marks , i was like ether i don t know how to point or something is with color(i did q4 quality and i am painting for 15 years), then we switched to Caparol CAPADIN and that thing covered it beautifully in 1 shot, sometimes colors are bad ,in our case something was wrong with pigments.

[@masonhershman5168]

I am painting my house. I am watching this after the second coat and realized I was doing everything WRONG. It looks sloppy!! How can I make up for the errors. Will just doing a 3rd coat like you’ve shown fix it all? Also I haven’t done my cut ins yet I’ve only rolled first. Thanks!

[@shanekavanagh7763]

😂😂

[@dbash2004]

The wall I’m painting is uneven from a bad plastering job is there anything you can do to fix it? Or is it a lost cause?

[@Idahopainter]

Skim coat it

[@SLICK-GLN]

Dynasty paint is good paint

[@Idahopainter]

Probably the best interior paint I have ever used

[@SLICK-GLN]

@@Idahopainter coming from you thats impressive .I have to agree it is one of the best interior paints i have used also.

[@indyfosho5458]

Its nice to see someone paint a wall without doing it with loading the roller once....😂

[@jeremycagle3890]

Do you not use woven anymore?

[@Idahopainter]

I like Premier Woven Pro from paintlifesupply.com

@@Idahopainter thanks for posting all your bad ass videos. I’m pretty sure I’ve watched 90% of them.

[@integrapainters]

Why not just spray it and back roll the walls/ceiling?

[@chriscolameco6850]

It’s not worth breaking the sprayer out for that small of a job. I only use one if I’m remodeling a whole house and I’m painting before installing new floors

[@blindenergy6694]

Then it would take time to mask evetything off and time to set up pump and then clean it for one wall? Plus you would be spraying and backrolling by yoyrself

[@jeffdickens7019]

The wall that you are painting right now not covering with one coat been painting for 40 years there is no such thing as one-coat coverage paint if you're going back to the same color yes one coat will be fine

[@Idahopainter]

OK

I hate those buckets tho

[@Idahopainter]

Not me

[@SLICK-GLN]

@@Idahopainter dont mind the spout but if you open it and get paint around the lip its hard to seal back.

[@dbash2004]

If the edge of the wall isn’t straight can you use masking tape to use as a guide to paint a straight edge?

[@SLICK-GLN]

@dbash2004 not sure what you mean but masking tape can be used to create a straight line pretty much anywhere

[@shanekavanagh7763]

That brush technique is pretty bad, man. Also, use a 100mm roller immediately after brushing, so you hide those thick, wavy brush strokes you've left everywhere.

[@the360lifeshow]

Is this a joke?

[@Idahopainter]

Yeah

[@vanaltenapaintingdesign]

No paint is a one coat paint, especially a dark color over a white wall

[@Idahopainter]

OK dont agree though

[@vanaltenapaintingdesign]

@@Idahopainter going over the same color sure, going white to dark blue never

[@jasonwong6596]

@@vanaltenapaintingdesign Behr has been notorious for having paint that is truly 1 coat coverage. It started with their Behr ultra paint and primer line which did relatively good for darker colors, but they greatly improved it even more with the Dynasty line and their nano technology. I think you should try it before you rule it out because it's evident you haven't tried it (provided its not on fresh textured wall or something). If you said a vibrant red, I would probably agree though.

[@sharongilchrist5879]

I used to think this, but have found some true one-coat wonders. Seems a new development in paint products. Clare paint is a great one-coat paint. Goes on thick. Feels good going on and looks amazing when dry. You can tell it's higher quality than even some very good paint brand that have been around a while.
