Professional Painter Shows The Fastest Way To Paint A Wall

Anthony Pezzotti from Pezzotti Painting is a professional painter. He shows us how to prime a wall and the specific pattern he uses to paint quickly and cleanly. He primes, then paints the perimeter of the wall first. Then he creates a V shape with the roller across the largest surface area. He goes over the whole area again, filling in the holes for a precise and quick paint job.

Professional Painter Shows The Fastest Way To Paint A Wall

[@JT883]

The most important detail most people will miss is that this guy is using a professional roller that is of so much higher quality than the $10 crap most people will buy for a 1 time painting project. That alone will impact the quality of how most at home painting projects will turn out.

[@michaelsorensen7567]

Also having a two foot wide one helps lol

[@JH-pr9sh]

Was going to say I bet that roller cover is worth a bit.

[@savvivixen8490]

Doesn't hurt to get the technique down by practicing with the standard brushes first.

[@ukrarex]

Yup and the quality of paint also goes a long way

[@gasperpantaleo8450]

Lol he uses an epoxy flooring roller 18 inch. No professional would ever use that, true pros use 9 inch. That's why he has to cover the whole room in plastic lol

[@mgurtz]

Remember this is sped way up, friends! Don’t dislocate a shoulder trying to match that pace, take your time. Unnecessary advice for some, life saving for others.

[@HeavenlyBrujo]

If you take your time the paint will dry, so this is a fast technique

[@fernosan]

What they don't tell you: fast pace means a rain of tiny paint droplets. This is not a problem to a professional, as they will SPEND TIME to cover the whole ground. However, as you - amateur painter - try to make sloppy job covering the floor, expect to spend a lot of time scrubbing it afterwards. Or, be a sensible person a go slow.

[@sweetchildofnine6677]

I saw this too late

[@Gratefulleo]

[@teppi5119]

His roller is also bigger than what you can buy in stores.

[@notconvincedgranny6573]

The cutting in is what always gets me; not everyone is that steady with a brush, so my rookie self always relies on painters tape.

[@ESPkenner48]

Amazing how well that translates to spanish, cutting = recortar, painter's tape = cinta de carrocero, somebody did the translation to english in some point bc there is no way that's casual

[@gorehammer1]

I taught myself to cut in by not using any tape.

[@davidgough3512]

@@gorehammer1 yeah just watch a pro, practice on something harmless, load the brush properly, have some faith. It's not so much "talent" as it is slowing down & paying attention to how you position everything, down to your footing.

The brush angle is everything.

[@juantime7816]

@@ESPkenner48 ... 🤨 Que recortar, ni recortar. It's called "corter" (cuts).

Rock solid technique. Notice how he didn't paint the entire wall with a single dip like some other idiots? He is applying a proper coat as thw correct speed and then dipping. I wish the video wasn't sped up because this is absolutely textbook good technique.

[@DJ_Force]

I guess a the video title of "Professional painter shows the last step in a long process of patching holes, removing switches and outlet covers, sanding, more sanding, cutting in the edges, and THEN rolling out the wall" wasn't as click-baity.

[@replicated]

Truth. Cutting in and patching is the hard part and most time intensive. They glossed right over that important detail. This is the easiest part.

yeah the painters my boss (contractor) hires just dropped over $2k on Festool sanders in order to maintain a specific quality..

[@dude988]

I mean they just say 'paint a wall', which he does. For those who struggle with the painting part this might be a helpful video. Personally I like the painting part, but not the 'remove all furniture, tape all borders, clean all the paint stains, repaint certain areas that somehow don't have enough coverage, clean the room again, clean all rollers and brushes, move all furniture back to the room, put all the equipment away' part.

[@waffywaffburg9150]

Been painting for a while too but these techniques are great!

[@ErgonBill]

30 years as a painting contractor confirms this to be the correct technique. If you use cheap roller sleeves, they won't hold as much paint, but it's still the same technique - just slower. Keep your sleeves in good order and be patient. Pros didn't learn in a week.

[@andreabuzzolan9807]

I have a question using a Roller doesn't consume more paint and so you'll be' able to paint less times over years because of the more thickness of the layers? Thanks

[@jjmill5209]

Question, I notice he's going back to the left but would it be prudent to lay it off one more time and work back to the right where the dry edge is?

[@ErgonBill]

@@jjmill5209 I mainly work right to left, but that's only my preference. So, I always lay off into the wet edge that I just completed, overlapping about 300mm/ 1 foot to ensure no roller tracks remain.

[@ErgonBill]

@@andreabuzzolan9807 Using a roller doesn't use more paint necessarily, unless you put too much on - then it will sag and look terrible. Aim for 2 coats of evenly spread paint, then you will generally get good coverage. Thickness alone won't give you added protection as it is only the top coat that gets scuffed and dirty.

[@jjmill5209]

@@ErgonBill thanks, I usually work left to right, lay it on like the video except going left to right and I go back after laying it on and do a final lay off starting back at the left where I just started laying it on, is that proper?

[@galaxonmusic5630]

Finally a video of someone not rolling out a wall in one dip lol ive used the v technique it really does help quite a bit. He def is on par with cutting that wall to the ceiling

[@khaledelarbawy862]

A very wonderful work from an Egyptian artist

[@justax5627]

Yes the diagonal slash works really well but don't slant it to far forward because you will thin the paint coat out too much and sometimes depending on the new color it won't cover the old paint. A regular 15 ft long wall should have a slash every 3 ft (5 slashes) with a 9in roller and every 5ft with an 18in roller(3 slashes). This interval varies depending on the height of the wall.

[@matthewotis3594]

@Karl with a K he uses a half inch nap. That roller cover holds tons of paint. It's also heavy. I use 3/8.

[@matthewotis3594]

@Karl with a K it has EVERYTHING to do with the amount of paint on the roller therefore you don't have to dip in ya bucket so much, which is what you were complaining about.

[@matthewotis3594]

@Karl with a K you obviously paint all the time. 90 percent of the people I've painted with uses a 3/8 nap. I make a living painting. I don't have painters come in because I paint. Genius, maybe go to a real pai t store and talk to some professionals. Most use 3/8, some use 1/4 and some use half. Different ways to do shit man and I can tell you've done none of them. Well, let's go paint for a living now. Work time where I live.

[@mikea1094]

I’ve been a painting contractor for 20 plus years and I’ve never used a roller pan for painting walls. Professional painters use 5 gallon buckets with a metal grid. We also only use lambskin roller covers and Wooster poles and handles with the quick release. Corona chinex brushes for latex and coronal ox hair for oil. The nap on the roller depends on what you are rolling. Smooth walls we use 1/2 inch nap mostly. Corona has some good micro fiber roller covers if you want no texture. 5/8” nap. And we only use 9” roller covers.

We dutifully obliged...with our not-over-loaded tools (rollers & brushes). Didn't seem to make any sort of difference to any of us...& why would the paint need to stick "better" on a set that'd be trashed fairly soon? Ok, Mr. R...& thanks for making fun of students who helped & got paint on themselves.
