Quarantine really got me watching whatever at this point
😭
Lmao dude thats funny
i just got this recommended to me at 12 am for some reason
I got a job this Saturday this could get you big money a thousand dollars for a living room bathroom and regular bedroom
STACKMORE HATELESS shutup idiot
By the time this pandemic is over, I’ll be a professional everything.
hahahahaha me too !
Heck yes good to see people are using this time for positive things and learning. Now if a paint gig comes up you can make a couple extra bucks real quick specially in these hard times gigs like these have helped me and my family so much during this pandemic shutdown and I hope opportunities come up for others that need it.
Agreed
😂
Its been six months what are you a pro at? Lol
I would just like to thank this guy, I’m 17 going threw the worst of my depression and have gotten paint and rollers for my birthday, I watched all your videos and have taken the tips, thank you you really saved me from having a ugly wall
Sometimes when Im down, I look up videos of people who have no limbs and manage to smile everyday and be positive, or I watch 3rd world countries where there are certain patches of places that dont even have running water or proper medicine and schooling. Its amazing how putting into perspective all the things that are around me and available at my disposal including just being able to walk, see, talk, eat when i reflect on that, it shows me all the good things that are here and gets me right out my sadness. If it wasnt for Jesus, dont know where i would be. God bless you young man.
Fuckin hell man you shouldn't be going through depression at your age bro,I hope you all good boss 👍
props to this guy. I've been depressed. don't recall spending a lot of time worrying about the wall color.
I did learn a lot about insurance companies' _suicide clause,_ although I've gotta say, they weren't super eager to help in that endeavour.

I like how he just got straight to it once the intro ended🔥👍
I like how you start applying the roller to the wall sort of a half of a V shape. Will try that and thank you for the tips!! Great video, informative and concise!!!
Hey great video. I am professional mudder/painter and been at it for a while, this guy knows what he is doing.
Time lapse make anyone look good!
Kudos for making an educational video that makes it easy for beginners to follow along. I've been painting just shy of 7 years and I've got to say, you have a very teacheresque way about you. I'm about to start watching your other videos and see if I can pick up an tips and/or tricks.
Not sure why all these "pros" in the comments are watching this video. I'm sure you didn't make it for them. But you made it for folks like me that need it. I've watched many painters on CZcams. You, by far, are the best I have seen so far and enjoyable to listen to. A true professional. Very informative and to the point. I learned a lot. Thank you for the help!
Helpful. Hopefully when I try this it’ll go smoothly. Very informative. Thank you.
Thanks Remi. Great tips.
I needed this tutorial. Thank you.
thanks so much for this easy to follow video. I am going to buy one of them long handle rollers. I use a short one and it hurts my back. Thanks
its an extension handle. same screw as a mop or broom handle most rollers will fit one
Very well done video. I roll almost exactly the same but my downstrokes go straight down. I move my roller over then fade back diagonally a tiny bit, then go down. My video, "That's how I roll" Not half as well done as this video, just me painting to good music.
Thank you! :D Coming from someone who doesn’t paint walls often, this looks really fun. Can’t wait to try it myself!
This was super helpful and gave me a boost of confidence, as I'm about to do a bunch of painting. Thanks!
I painted my room this color a while back. It's called Storm Cloud by Sherwin Williams if anyone is looking for a similar color :)
If I remember correctly I believe the name of this color is called pool house and it's number SW7603
@@ExpressionsPainting i really like this colour
Hi- thanks for all the great videos. I think a lot of people think painting is and obvious DIY, but it really makes a difference in the final look when you do things in the right order.
Thanks :)
I've almost finished my first year of college doing carpentry and joinery level 2, but I haven't enjoyed it so I would love to try the decorating course next year , it looks great!, Thanks for the video bro big help
Thank you! This is very helpful!
Mate, you just turned me into a pro as I was struggling at times with inconsistent sheen.
Thanks again :-)
That makes me happy to hear. :)
And if you really want to learn tons more I have a free training program at Expressions painting university where we go over so much more of this kind of information. Look for the PAINTER Program. The link in on my channel page :)
Actually the link is in the video description too ;)
Awesome work! made my next painting job easier!
:)
Thanks your painting skills are awesome:) love the videos
Have used paint rollers before, but your video shows the correct way to do it. Much quicker and better results....Thanks
Love the precision. Nice work.
+Ron Towers Thanks :)
I have been painting for over 30 years and i always roll the cut edges so you dont have a transition line and gives a much better edge....try it
depends on what type of sheen. flat paints are more forgiving but when working with high gloss i find the lines can flash if i dont fade it in. I
If you can feather it out nicely and have the right amount of paint then no need to roll the cut
There’s nothing wrong with rolling out your brush strokes. That’s the difference between someone who takes pride in their work
you could always feather out the lines and not leave such a straight wet edge that way when you roll you its all blends in together
@@dimazanya2568 I guarantee that a lot did, a lot of people are uncomfortable when it comes to bringing it up and challenging the work, if they were clued up they'd probably do it themselves in the first place.
I hate tradies that do lazy work, people pay to get a professional finish not get ripped off because workers feel "they won't notice". I find it common in plasterers too, some* get complacent and do messy work whilst charging thousands.
You are the first professional painter I have seen that cuts in the corners, upper and lower ends of the wall before you roll. I can always tell if a wall has been correctly painted by simply looking across the wall on an angle. A good job looks uniform all the way across the wall.
everyone should do that.
Nice professional videos. Would be nice to see a video painting hard to reach places using the Richard gooseneck flexible paint brush extension! Cheers! Great for priming and painting walls and ceiling one colour! Look forward!
thanks. that was helpful
This is a well described, paint rolling tutorial by a pro. Thank you very much! 😊
Hypokrites you're welcome :)
I’m a DIY buff & watch these videos almost daily. And you sir are actually one of the very few who appears to actually know what you’re talking about. Refreshing change.
Your experience is evident. Bravo. Thanks for sharing what you know!
You make it look so easy and actually got me motivated to start, because you also made it look fun 😁🖌
Yep youtubers make painting look easy!! 🤣
I'm 17 and painting on my own and this helped a lot! thanks xx
Andrea A. Glad to hear :)
+Expressions Painting I thought that pro painters use mostly 18" rollers.
Starsha Thornton not at all.
U! Pwowq0
Lol exactly the same. New chore apparently
Thanks, Keep creating more information for House Painting
Such relaxing job
That yellow stick is called a "Tray Arm". It's designed to help carry the tray around while keeping it balanced. It's also a neat rest for the roller handle while :)
Nice work pal but why did you touch up the filler first if walls getting two coats anyway
Or use a 5 gallon bucket and screen like a pro
Man I need this guy to paint my property's. Thanks for posting.
An old, yet still useful demo. Simple, direct and to the point without "fluff".
love the videos and the channel!!!
This technique is spot on and I dont understand why people thumb it down?
You're explanations are very good too...great work
nice video bud👍👍👍keep it up.
+Dalvinder Singh Thanks :)
Cool I like painting and always look for good tips tks.
Its so relaxing watching This ... Really 😍
I wouldve hit that ceiling like 10 times rolling so close to it. lol
Ditto and I would have made a mess

Lovely Video clip! Sorry for butting in, I would love your thoughts. Have you ever tried - Rozardner Successful Handyman Reality (probably on Google)? It is an awesome one off product for how to start a handyman business minus the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my GF finally got cool results with it.
You related to Pablo?
As long as your holding the pole properly your arm shouldn't extend to the point where it hits.
PLEASE answer the question how do you get so much coverage from one dip in the pan? Someone else asked it also...
Good rollers!!! I bought the one valspar brand and it really do a good cover up
Small wall
Depends on the nap thickness of the roller you are using. Some are for smooth walls, others are for semi textured all the way the to a stuccoed and cement texture. The thinker the roller the better coverage for high texture walls. Less nap thickness is for smooth surfaces walls.
It's a combination of many different factors. Quality of your roller sleeve, experience, paint quality, and pressure of application. The best coverage comes from forcing it into the "pores" followed up by a gentle pressure back roll. Painting can be fun if you take your time and put some pride into your work or it can be very stressful if you're trying to rush through it. Just like most things in live, take your time and do it right and the rewards will far outweigh the negatives. Good luck!
Brilliant vid and I am just about to paint the walls in my lounge, great help, thanks pal.
This was great and most useful-thanks!
Dang, that a lot of wall coverage for just one roller dip. I must be using too much paint.
Either that or you’re using cheap paint. Good (expensive) paint makes a big difference
Really depends on the texture of the wall and how dry the wall is. I just finished a job where I could only go 2 roller widths before I had to wet the roller.
I notice that roller seems pretty beefy thus holding a good deal of paint without having to reload so soon. What exact roller are you using for these walls in this video?
Lori A should be a 1\2 inch nap
@@bigmike4180 too much texturing from a half inch sleeve imo - we use 3/8ths and two-coat everything and it finishes beautifully. We only ever use a half inch on commercial work for walls.
3/4" roller skin and back roll it after the first pass. Half inch doesn't hold enough paint. I painted commercially professionally for 25 years.
@@everyhumandies not if you know what you're doing. It'll take forever to paint something with the door nap roller. Lay it on heavy and back roll it!
How do you feel about using larger rollers? The 9-inch is standard but I have used the 14 inch and recently bought the 18 inch to use on my next project. Though the roller is more expensive, it puts more paint on the wall at a time, and should result in quicker completion with less effort.
Hi
How many coats we need to apply on wall .. single or double
I love his confidence, going in all white clothing to prove he wont splash once on himself. Damn I always end up a mess.
All professional painters wear white. Most paints being used are on the lighter side so it doesn't stand out as much on the clothing as opposed to say a black shirt or pants.
I'm going to redecorate my room since it was my dad's and now my mom and dad sleep together because I'm older now. My parents asked me to look up a video to help them with painting the walls white since I want my room to be *aesthetic* lol have a nice day w😂😂😂
cialpeachh WTF!!!!!!!! Your mom and dad sleep together now your older. That needs an explanation.
Ha Remi, will this technique work for applying semigloss latex paint to a wall that has a smooth finish? What nap roller do I want to use? Thank you for the well done video. You did a great job.
Thanks for sharing your expertise - very well explained - I learned an important lesson
Learned 40 years ago to cut-in an area and roll the wall in that space while the cut -in paint is still wet. Overlap never shows. Works 100% of the time.
I’m watching this high, and I think I love him 😂
Are you "Up in the Penthouse Suite"? Ho, Ho, Ho,.
😂😂😂
I feel ya man, I enjoy eating paint chips I scraped off off pappys tool shed and huffing Killz out of ugh plastic bag while watching these fantastic paint videos.
Indeed I love it, let me tell ya why why that is. Well for one the paint chips are free, and delicious, they practically fall off into my my mouth. And fur two Waffle House Linda steels the Killz from from from Richard, so it’s free. I mean who doesn’t like ugh free buzz .
That’s a secret, though I can’t recall what it it
Biblical
I'm high too. Im invested in watching him paint. It's so aesthetically pleasing!
This helped me learn fast””the the cutting in and the painting and doing smaller areas, guud stuff bud.
I use a 18" roller. covers 3 to 5 times the wall area than a 9" roller in one dip. and you can prime the prep areas with the same color your painting.
As a Gov't of Ontario ( Canada) Certified painter I am curious where you got your certification. In these parts the program is only offered through union companies, where I got mine many years ago.
I would like to address the bad advice guys below.
To tyvek05 good luck with the wet cut-ins. Today's latex dries in seconds. The thin edge of a cut is stuck before I've moved my ladder. I guess you're working in oil paint you saved from the 80's, the stuff you could backroll. I heard a young thing behind the paint counter give the same advice as yours to an unsuspecting civilian. He was buying AURA, the quickest drying of them all. I didn't correct her but I laughed when the guy had gone and told her she was keeping me in business... Let those cuts dry. You can't stop it anyway and you can't cut a whole wall before it happens, even if you are as fast as me! Today's latex acrylic paint blends right in no problem.
To the guy making 4 by 4 foot " N "s on the wall I would ask why? If the idea is to get the paint up evenly with the least effort why are you making designs on the wall? The guy in the video is doing it the most efficient way. A roller load covers about 3 rollers widths on an 8 foot wall. Put your loaded roller 3/4s of the way up the wall close to where the third width will finish and pull it down to where the first width will start, like he does. This distributes the paint across the width of the pattern quickly and evenly enough for you to now roll away. Anything else is an unprofessional looking waste of effort and would have got you fired pronto where I worked.
dave grier I agree, I roll very much like Remi does, I have a video if your interested, though it's basic raw footage. "That's how I roll, using Pro Mar 200".
I've seen other videos where they explain the N or W pattern avoids lines one the wall left by the repeating pattern of the roller. I used the technique in the video and it seemed to work ok but in this case I was painting a satin wall the same colour but in egg shell. I just hate seeing roller marks and want them avoided, but this does seem to avoid them in this case.
Thanks for providing this detailed rebuttal of the false-information in the comment section. Very much appreciated.
Where did he buy that Roller? seems to hold a lot of paint.....
tony england i think the guy just knows what he’s doing 👀
It seems to be a Microfiber Roller. The microfiber holds the paint really good.
thanks for the advice wil be using it tomorrow in my living room new duck egg is the colour cheers
Great tips me and my dad just finished painting and entire house in about 3 days and these tips were helpful for me since I’m a beginner
@Moon Pie Can just imagine what it looks like lmfao
Moon Pie not really, I painted walls as a summer job because my father is a professional and he taught me similar techniques as in the video. I managed to paint entire rooms in less than 2 hours and I started my day off early so by the end I probably painted 3 whole rooms.
Good Job!
Painting since I was a kid. For the people commenting on the use of a tray and 5er. We dont use that as its usually a good way of contaminating your paint with dirt. Shit always gets in it off the roller. So unless you dont pay for paint or plan on using the whole fiver at once I wouldnt suggest it. Pour off small amounts into a secondary container. Use only what you need and never pour unused portions back into your main fiver. If you do. You just cross contaminated... Enjoy straining paint through cheese cloth or pantyhose next time you want to paint with that fiver....... walls dont look so good with shit dried in the paint stuck to em.... just sayin...
lol u dont use a whole fiver its like half way at most and if u are out of a full its not like it takes 10 hours. unless your doing cuts if you cant roll out 5 before its contaminated (unless there some conditions bad enough where you shouldnt be painting anyway) you shouldnt be painting
You are a beast! Good job!
What mill rollers, I always absolutely flatten mine
Seems effortless... yes I've just done it, and I'm 1/10 as good... Applause!
You must be using a low quality paint I never have an issue with marks where the roller and the brush meet.
Great tutorial!
dude, you make it look soooooo easy!!
Omg that’s so fast I really need to watch & learn ,I’m so slow 🙈
Damn it, wrong video. Any one got links on how to roll down a hill really fast?
Edit: the video now renamed.. my comment now makes no sense 😕
What a speed! What a talent!
When feathering in the cutting in with the roller, should we be using less pressure so that the roller produces a lighter/diff texture or just normal? Thanks
3 swipes and he paints half the wall!? This guy paints! I'm like 4 coats to get it that covered haha! Also, I'm here to figure out best method to paint my plastered wall... Don't you need a mist coat? Can you just go right in full strength?!
If water softens your plaster you need turpentine based primer to start with then when it's dry you can use water base top coat if you like.
Paint tray gotta go. 5 gallon bucket, no grid.
That’s how it’s done for the most part but I always use a 5 gallon bucket and grid to roll out of. Roller covers make a big difference also. I almost always use a 1/2” nap in the Wooster brand for eggshell finishes. Sherwins synthetic rollers seem to spray way too much. Wooster 50/50 blends work pretty well to. As for brushes, Wooster all the way.
Masking tape tip most people blow it on is dust off the baseboard before you tape and when you have a few feet taped run your putty knife over the tape to help press it down.
Cut in the baseboard last. Roll the walls and when you’re finished you can probably pull the tape. Use a damp rag to wipe off any paint creep on the baseboard.
Too many people leave the tape on for hours or overnight and end up with a mess.
Merci Rémi. Très bonne indices!
1) Tape off all trim, cover doors, fixtures, windows and floors.
2) Open paint can in middle of room
3) Insert M80 into paint can
4) Light fuse and run
You're welcome
@Rasmusb I just watched it for the first time.
Same exact joke only he did it much better. Wrapping the fruit was golden.
No where did I see a cooler filled with ice and a couple of 6 packs. I don't get it ! My recommendation is a 6 of Heineken and a 6 of Sam Adams. A happy painter is a productive painter.
You are mad accurate while driving that roller at 90 mph. Props!
what would the best drop cloth be
I own a painting company and this is just painful to watch. I can see these tips being helpful to people who have never rolled a wall but as a professional myself I can say this IS NOT the most effective way to get a good finish. I use a brush to cut in the wall to ceiling and a 4 inch 1/2 inch nap mini roller or "weenie roller" to blend in the brush strokes and also use the mini roller around the corners and base. Then use an 18 INCH ROLLER to make painting twice as fast and the finish looks much better. It looks like you're spreading that paint WAY to thin as well. You want to roll about half as much as he did per dip to ensure proper adhesion and an even look.
I do the same thing. I use a 6inch mini roller though.
You’re making it too complicated. Paint is so advanced nowadays anyone can get a good finish.
@@kevinbeazy
Even with the best paint you will see a difference in sheen from certain angles and light showing the different layers of how the paint was applied. It's much better and easier now for sure though.
LMAO you do all that work per coat per wall ? paaaaleeeassee, bud if your doing all that and saying you get a nice coat you have no idea period, mini roller on edges ? really dude you can't use a standard roller to get those edges ? .. riding cowboy !
@@ausreefguy5362 yep, I've painted professionally and side jobs for over 25 years and just cut and roll the damn wall. It's not rocket science. Weinie rollers are for going into tight spaces or behind toilets. Period. Lol! I like how people make it sound like it's building a nuclear bomb. Cut and roll and get out to the next job!😎
i think its alot easier and faster to use a 5 gallon bucket
I use both, but a tray is better because you can access it with a roller while standing 3 feet or more feet away from it.
I use a bucket made by Wooster. Holds 3 gallons easily. And I damn sure don't dip like he does
Make a video and show us what you mean
@@CinematicTouchProductions make a video and show how much splatter is on that white base without taping off.
Thanks. I heard having a 5 gallon bucket and using a paint grill and roller was better than using trays is this the case?
"Better" depends on the type of project and personal preference. For instance, at Expressions Painting we only do Interior Repaint projects which means we are working around furniture. For us working with a tray and yellow tray arm makes it tremendously easier to move around the furniture and keeps things very clean. Perhaps try both options and see what you prefer :)
excellent video. my dad was union journeyman painter... been gone 10 years he would be 82. To watch you blaze that roller is somethin. smooth as glass.....you have a good day
Ignorance can be so daring. Every so called "professional" painter has '30 years experience". There is "cattle" painting which is to go from job to job painting warehouses or rough type of finish. For this, time is money. Just like cutting lawn at a community: $45 a pop so you have only 5 minutes per house. In a high end market, painting is like a manicure so time is not money but the finish is what matters. Money is greater in high end markets and less houses than cattle painting.
There is a place for the trays. It all depends on the job to do and colors to be mixed in a room. There is a place for buckets and grills but for big 30' walls. What if David is painting a 30' wall with a tray? Yes!! I will fire you!! It all depends on the job. Leave the trays alone.
Trays have no place on the job..no matter what.
whats wrong with using a tray lol when its almost finished top it up again in fact have 1 tray down for each foot then you just move from tray to tray xD
What if your only painting two gallons
@@vince6056. Then you go to Lowe's, get yourself a five gallon bucket and a screen. Pour your 2 gallons of paint in, mix well, and get to work. When you're done, pour all unused paint back into a gallon bucket. Let the screen and the bucket dry. When dry, peel dry paint from the bucket...
@@TNEKJA so I'm stuck with 2 gallons of paint just so I don't have to use a paint tray?
Yo only need to watch the first 5 seconds to get the drift cheers 🎅
In your opinion what is a good roller as in the nap thickness of the roll er ( thin nap or thicker nap , as in the wool) for gereral rolling ?
Awesome, this technique looks like it will same me a load of time! Cheers mate!
we have a saying in the UK if you can piss you can paint lol
LOL it def saves you money wake up my fellow Americans...
Richard Miller No, I've seen first hand where people can not paint.
I like using a wizzy (4inch roller) as I cut. That allows the paint I roll to gel with the paint I cut in with.
From my experience there are a lot of people who’s bladders are so full that they are going to burst then!!
Thomas LaFleur I am one of those people lol
Can't be the only one looking up how to paint a wall because they are about to paint one.
