I can't thank you enough either . . . I have literally been stuck for days unable to paint ceiling and trim because of my uneducated sense, but thanks to you I feel a lot less confused and more confident in moving forward. A big Mahalo to you!
I know this is old video but saw you still answer comments. Hopefully you will see this....What is stock for Emerald Urethane Trim? The options I see is Ultra White, Hi Hide White or Deep Base....which one do I go with??? Emerald Matte for the ceiling does come in Extra White. Your videos are solid and very informative.
So the base white for Emerald Urethane is Hi Hide White which is what we use all the time for trim and doors. You would only use a deep base for a dark color. Hope this helps!
Sage advice. I have watched several of your videos they are very well done and my favorite painting videos! You are clear and to the point and highly informative and practical. Thank you for making these!
Thanks for the video you've definitely have helped. It's so hard to pick out paint colors cuz I know I'm going to have to live with it for a while and I'm the one painting so I'm not doing this again. It took me years to decide what color to paint my outside of my house and I ended up going with gray and I'm going to try and incorporate different gray tones in the house that way I can add color around it. I'm just that way.
Do all 'stock' paints from the same company match? So anything 'stock' from SW is going to match? Also, if you were to get the stock paint from say Behr and from SW, would they be the same or different? Thanks for your expertise, sir. Subbed!
Not all stock paints from the same company are the same. The bases for different products are different. The base white in Promar ceiling paint is different than the base white in duration or emerald. Whether or not they “match” is somewhat subjective. We use stock ceiling paint and stock trim paint all the time (the bases are different) and it looks great together. As you may have guessed the base whites from different companies are also different. Thanks for watching!
Emerald Urethane Trim enamel is my current favorite trim paint. You can see our load out right here: My New Paint Load Out // 2023 czcams.com/video/ceynEKT5loc/video.html
My wife and I are painting ceilings, walls, trim, and kitchen cabinets/built ins. If we go stock white for ceiling and trim would you carry the stock white to the cabinets? Wall color is going to be an off white.
I would, but that’s my preference. There’s nothing wrong with picking a different color for your cabinets, but going with the same white as your trim is a solid move. Good luck with your painting!
You mention that just pulling the paint off the shelf without tinting it results in better coverage. This goes against almost everything that I have read and Behr's customer support phone line mentions that you should get your white paint tinted to achieve maximum coverage. That even includes a color like Ultra Pure White. I get being able to return unused paint if you do not get it tinted, but why do you suggest that untinted paint covers better?
The untinted formulations cover better for most lines of paint. That did not use to be the case a few years ago, and most folks would get the base paints tinted out for the reasons that you described. I can speak with more confidence about Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore's line of products. Their stock colors tend to cover the best. That being said, there are so many different lines of paint, even within one particular brand that there may be an advantage to getting a stock base tinted out. I tried covering my butt in the video by saying that the stock formulations covered the best "generally". If Behr is suggesting to tint out their base formulations, then give it a go. I'd still recommend going with the same color on all the ceilings in your house, so that it keeps things simple. Good luck!
Finally what u suggest for celing...in our new home painting is ony ending.....my home titles are black so pls suggest the correct colour to match with tiles
Hi Mariana. Yes that is what we recommend. Most of our clients go with flat for ceilings and semi gloss for trim. It does come down to personal preference and you can do whatever your heart desires. But most people desire same trim and ceiling color w/ flat on ceilings and semi on trim :)
Question? Have a lot of trim in my house and previous owners painted the top lip of the trim with the flat wall paint over gloss trim…can I paint semi gloss over flat or would I need to sand all the top lips of the trim? Or would I need to use primer ?I have been using Sherwin Williams Eminence stock white ceiling paint for years….and they have been totally out of stock for a while now here in Washington state. I had to go with one of their flat stock white paints.Got one coat on throughout kitchen/living room and I can tell it doesn’t look right to not do the pool table room because when you look into that room it looks dingy looking in from living room. Also so many can lights in this house, I pulled all of them down from the ceiling as I believe prep work is everything. Patched, sanded all the settling cracks and covered all the floors w/drop cloths and kitchen cabinets w/plastic. I only mention this is for those first timers that you need to calculate in having some of the items I mentioned as well as painters tape, caulking, primer and a good angle brush for cutting in your walls/ceilings/trim. You can also use card board, paper bags to protect your floors or counter tops. Tip: use plastic bag to wrap your brushes and rollers between your first and second coat, it will save you time instead of having to clean them out. Hope this helps. Happy painting and turn on some good tunes it makes it more enjoyable!
Hi Tina. Yes you can paint semi gloss over flat paint. If there are any imperfections you don't like you can sand them with sand paper before you start painting. We like Sherwin williams Promar ceiling paint for ceilings. Also Super paint flat works as well. Sounds like you have all the right materials and yes we like wrapping our brushes and rollers in plastic, especially Saran wrap. Happy painting!
Outside walls are painted with a bubble finish. Will have to spray them if i want to change the colour yellow that are terrebly dirty and full of dust. Will I need to wapp it clean first? Ceilings also yellow high gloss.
It’s not a bad idea to at least vacuum the walls before you paint them. You might be able to use a thicker nap roller and brush and roll the walls and ceiling. You’d be surprised what you can brush and roll. But if you’re comfortable spraying then let it rip 👍
Hi there. For trim most of our clients will pick the same trim and ceiling color. Most clients go with the stock white color as well. Thats a safe bet. If you want to get crazy you can do whatever color scheme your heart desires. As long as you like it :)
Hi Jan. Yes we typically paint the linen closet doors the same color as the trim. You can pick different colors for the trim and ceiling, but most of our clients pick the same for both. Personal preference tho :)
I need to repaint my bathroom ceilings. Under the initial paint job you can still see the tape used to close the edges. Do you have a suggestion for the type of mud I should used to smooth it out then sand and then paint again?
Hi Anna. Happy to help. Normal spackle is fine. They sell small containers at any hardware store. We like the green label (lid is green) but the blue label (blue lid) is fine). You may need to do multiple coats as well. If there is a shower in the bathroom I would suggest to use a moisture resistant paint, that will make the biggest difference. If you want the gold standard make sure to prime the spackle spots as well. Hope this helps! Good luck
@@SuperVassarBrothers Thank you! I went to Lowes today to get everything I needed for my bathroom makeover and when I asked where the moisture resistant ceiling paint would be for a bathroom the guy told me there was no such thing as ceiling paints are flat and they don’t come in moisture resistant! 🤨 I decided I would come home and watch video again and see which one you recommended.
I would agree with that assessment. I prefer extra white from Sherwin Williams, but that's just me. The base white for a lot of the products we use is Extra White which makes it easy for us to keep it in stock.
Duly noted. I am working on creating content that is more succinct and engaging. Apologies for wasting 4 minutes and 25 seconds of your life. I shall endeavor to do better good sir.
I've heard of that as well. Never tried it out tho. Also you can get stock white paint tinted with more white pigment which gives you more paint, but you can't return it. Done that a few times, but didn't notice much of a difference. Thanks for the comment Daniel!
Can’t thank you enough.. . I tend to over analyze everything and you have made my paint research one and done lol. You need more followers 👍
Happy to help!
Thank you for helping us over analyzers simplify!! I was already overwhelmed with the different shades of “white.”
Thanks for watching our videos Anna. We hope to have a lot more coming soon.
I can't thank you enough either . . . I have literally been stuck for days unable to paint ceiling and trim because of my uneducated sense, but thanks to you I feel a lot less confused and more confident in moving forward. A big Mahalo to you!

god bless you man....i spent 3 weeks stressing out about trim/ceiling colors.
Glad we could help Jacob. Their are bigger things in life to stress about than trim and ceiling colors. Like wall colors :)

Most people in the UK go for eggshell or satin on skirting boards (trim).
Thanks Natalie. I now understand the revolutionary war better. Fight was really about trim paint preferences :)

Good video! Quick question, would a half bathroom with a sink and toilet count as a room with a water element?
Hi Jamie. Good question. We would use normal paint for that room. Showers or Tubs we use bathroom specific paints. Have a good one!
@@SuperVassarBrothers that’s what I figured because it doesn’t produce steam. Thanks!!
Finally what u suggest for celing...in our new home painting is ony ending.....my home titles are black so pls suggest the correct colour to match with tiles
I’d just go with the stock white in whatever ceiling paint you decide to go with
So did I understand correctly that we need same colour sealing and trims but different finish if we want to make our lives easier?
Hi Mariana. Yes that is what we recommend. Most of our clients go with flat for ceilings and semi gloss for trim. It does come down to personal preference and you can do whatever your heart desires. But most people desire same trim and ceiling color w/ flat on ceilings and semi on trim :)

For ceiling sure, but how about the trim? Does the trim need to be the same color as the ceiling? I don’t want it to stick out too much either

@@annaharris9826 for the ceiling use a primer like Zinsser bulls eye it has a mold & mildew inhibitor in it
What’s the stock white paint color for Sherman Williams ?
The stock white for most Sherwin Williams paints is Extra White SW 7006.
Is High Reflective White also a SW stock
paint? I’m thinking of these on all trim with SW Pure White on walls
Good morning, what is the best way to contact you? In what state are you located.
We are in Pennsylvania and you can send us an email at thepracticalpainters@gmail.com
Cant decide on pure white vs extra white. dont think i can go wrong with either.
I would agree with that assessment. I prefer extra white from Sherwin Williams, but that's just me. The base white for a lot of the products we use is Extra White which makes it easy for us to keep it in stock.
Hi there, I panted the walls simply white from Valspar, what color will you recomend for the ceilings and trim? Thank you
We usually go with standard white color for ceilings and trim. Good luck!
@@SuperVassarBrothers thank you
damn.. fast forward to 4:25 to actually start hearing about what the title of this video mentions. Sooooo much fluff, goodness.
Duly noted. I am working on creating content that is more succinct and engaging. Apologies for wasting 4 minutes and 25 seconds of your life. I shall endeavor to do better good sir.

Happy to help Mr. Smith
I’ve always heard to put a drop of black in ceiling/trim for better coverage/hide, any truth to that? Sounds like right off the shelf is the way to go
I've heard of that as well. Never tried it out tho. Also you can get stock white paint tinted with more white pigment which gives you more paint, but you can't return it. Done that a few times, but didn't notice much of a difference. Thanks for the comment Daniel!
❤❤❤❤
Appreciate it
Why not Benjamin Moore?
Benjamin Moore is great. We use Sherwin Williams the most, but supplies are low at the moment and we are using Benny Moore much more now.
Can I use your name for my business?
I'm not sure what you mean?
