Painting a Wall with an 18-inch Roller

[@tinog.6806]

This dude is to the point.... unlike the Idaho Painter and his 30 to 50 minute "quick" videos

[@Da-veed]

The longer the video, the more informative. Quick short videos are preferable before a job trying to figure anything out. Longer videos at night to educate yourself.

Boa tarde, mas também, a tinta de lá é diferente daqui do Brasil. No Brasil tem que dar de duas a três demao lá só uma já basta. Mas está de parabéns

[@samtandy8327]

This guy obviously a top painter as can tell he cuts in with brush then rolls over with a 4inch so solid finish. Also no brush marks round the sockets . then rolls the walls out its the way forward

[@markdavis6923]

thanks for the how to. I'm going to be painting a lot of apartment ceilings and just got a 18" roller. I know I'll be more confident after watching your video. Thanks Bro

[@TribblePaintingCompany]

good luck!

I have a living room and hallway and bedroom to do and this will cut my time down thanks for uploading your video 📸

Solid video bro,nice and neat and professionally cleaned

[@TribblePaintingCompany]

Glad you liked it

[@jerseyjim9092]

Are your cut ins still wet when you start rolling with the 18?

[@tonyr8443]

Now that's what I'm talkin about 👍. This is how it's done! I've been seeing painters here rolling using an 18 inch roller on 18- 20 ft stretch of wall just dipping twice, really stretching that paint as far as it will go. I mean really, c'mon..that is just not quality work a homeowner would spend money on. Good job my man!

[@TribblePaintingCompany]

Thanks 👍

[@karlwhite9181]

My point how is this I carnt do that unless the paint is like piss. But so glad u picked up on that it been doin my nut in. 👍👍

[@leroychavez9409]

I use an 18" roller, nice work.

[@wemcal]

Great video and great information

[@TribblePaintingCompany]

Thank you!

[@florenzohopic2832]

hello what paint do you use did you dilute the paint if so with what stuff did you dilute the paint all the paint I use is thick and does not cover as well just like your paint what you use in your video I am from the Netherlands

[@elyeunas]

If you are using latex paint you can use same water if the paint is too thick. It's better with water when the paint is very thick. You roll faster and paint is smoother on wall with water

[@jonimaar__2023]

Very satisfying 😂😂😂😂♥️♥️♥️

4 minutes mark learn a good tip of using trash bag as a liner. Save me the trouble of washing out my pan. Thanks for only paint my rental but every tip helps. Someday I will be rich enough to hire a painter.

Great video! All my walls have orange peel texture. When I use 18 inch roller, with 3/8 nap, I'm noticing lines on the edges where I overlap. Paint is Sherwin Williams Pure White. I saw that you are using 1/2 nap. If I change to 1/2 nap, could this solve the problem? Also, how much pressure/force do you use when applying? I'm trying to eliminate the lines. Thanks!

[@TribblePaintingCompany]

make sure you get your puddy out and sand down the lines as best as you can. don't rely on the paint to cover texture. when using a roller apply just a little bit of pressure to keep the roller actually rolling on the handle. if you see overlaps in your paint just go over it with your roller to even it out. most if not all paint will 'settle' a little bit after putting it on the wall so expect it to smooth out just a little before it dries. when in doubt, come back after 5-ish minutes after doing a coat and see how it looks, should be enough time for it to settle some on the wall, but still wet enough to smooth over with the roller if you need to.

[@marczem]

Thanks for the feedback! Any advantage of using 1/2 nap versus 3/8 nap?

[@billgoforth7426]

Half inch nap

[@bolivershagnasty3851]

what brand roller frame is that

[@elyeunas]

If you have tape on baseboards you cut 1 time with brush and roll down on the tape

[@MarcoLiftz]

Next painting projects I do will be with an 18 inch roller. It’s got to be so much quicker

[@LSUTigerMom]

What do use to paint around the windows (brush? size of brush?) so it blends well when you roll the walls? Thanks!

[@TribblePaintingCompany]

2.5" Carona paint brushes and in this video it looks like they used our 4" jonny rollers as well

[@napville2000]

[@davidfrank2824]

You absolutely suck. You make it look so easy and fast to paint a wall so you took all my excuses away. So now I got to go out and break my leg so my wife doesn't ask me to paint today. Seriously you did an excellent job and so fast. I never knew about that size roller until they close friend of mine had one in his garage. You really do make it look easy. I most definitely gave you a thumbs up and I hit the subscribe button. I honestly think that I going to stop at Home Depot today and pick up a roller and pan and get some work done.

Can't beat an 18" , my weapon of choice too . What brand of sleeve are you using ?

[@TribblePaintingCompany]

Hey Orbital! We tend to use 3/4 nap Wooster super/fab for flat paint for rough surfaces. We like the Whizz microlon 1/2 nap for most of the premium Benjamin Moore & Sherwin Williams wall paints that we use.

[@karlwhite9181]

What nap is that ur using is it a medium..??? Please reply

[@TribblePaintingCompany]

Hi Karl, We typically use a 3/4" nap. If someone doesn't have a lot of experience painting, we typically recommend a 1/2" nap.

[@karlwhite9181]

@@TribblePaintingCompany thanks for replying. Am self tought in painting and decorating but still need a little nolage on naps ect. I have a good idea. As customers are happy the finish is good and am always willing to put mistakes rite for the customer. But sometimes when a watch a painting tutorial I notice thay get a mad amount of coverige with the roller thay do a ten 12 foot wall in minutes . And only loaded roller twice why is this if thay only use a medium nap I carnt get my paint to spread like that..???? 🤔Also been painting for about 7 years properly I mean for customers.

[@rickymahoney6664]

You make it look so easy lol. Last night i primed my bedroom room and now trying to decide on a color but when rolling the primer it would take the paint off when i rolled over it to try and make it even. Even after 2 coats it looks like shit. Maybe its the rollers i bought? Now i gotta look up a video on rollers🤬. This isn’t going as smooth as i thought it would 🤷🏻

[@TribblePaintingCompany]

Ricky was this on drywall or plaster walls where the paint was coming off as you rolled?

[@wayneposey2591]

​@@TribblePaintingCompany I think he's saying that the roller was soaking up the wet paint from the wall...

@@letsride525 Hey Anthony! We love the microfiber rollers when we are looking for less splatter with a solid roller for the price. Specific rollers we use for our various projects are almost always Wooster or Whizz.

[@AlexKunstar]

I love my 18" roller... But I love not using it even more. I like the quick setup of a 9" roller with regular trays or the small Wooster buckets. I like jamming it into the corner eliminating 90% of my corner cuts, I love getting super close to the ceilings with the 9, siderolling above door frames and getting much more consistent overall coverage. 18" roller is such a hassle, I use it as a last resort, just prepping thst space to make it 18" friendly I could have finished the whole room. You'll stop using it one day too, and your shoulders will thank you for it.

[@TribblePaintingCompany]

Like all of our videos you'll find, we always stress the most important part of painting - finding what works for you!

[@lonnywalker7649]

Nice video. But imo, that's a lot of brushwork and must have taken significant time. I roll up closer and not have all that brush work. Jmo

[@faisal-ca]

Looks close to Surrogates (2009).

[@yassinepeintures2418]

Where do you find roller please

[@TribblePaintingCompany]

you can find 18-inch rollers at pretty much any local painting or home improvement store - I bet there is a good chance you can order just about any brush or roller online. What are you looking to have painted?

[@MrLuridan]

Am i the only one who cuts in after I've rolled the walls?

[@gr8deadfan75]

Yes. The proper way to do it is to cut in first, roll second. No professional would ever do it the other way around.

[@jackwardley3626]

7 inch brush is best

[@farukatasever2933]

7 inch roller is not good for this large walls.Takes longer to paint.

[@orbitalforest]

Yeah right , big 5 bedroom house , 18" roller or a 7" brush . Only one winner there.

[@jackwardley3626]

@@orbitalforest not necessary in rooms once you take away all the extra gear you need and clean up plus you can get better coverage with a brush and a better finish
