Great video I love painting still after 20 years of my dad taking my to work with him over the years having him teaching me a trade it put food on are table and now he’s passed I’m doing the same putting food on the table for my family . Rest In Peace dad thanks for all the knowledge.
Your Dad knew what was up. I trained people for years on all aspects of construction. My first gig was from a brother in law. I'm a firm believer that adults should teach younger generations how to make money with their hands. I had my son laying tile at 12. He worked for myself and othe contractors that I knew. He has since moved on but he learned to do all of his maintenance
Painting is apart of what I do, not all I do. Subsequently I always either pick up new skills/tips from people like Chris or refresh what I already know. Thanks Chris for sharing your skills.
I learned to paint with a pro while in high school, that was 1964. I painted several of my homes. I watch your videos because I’m learning better methods. Thank You !
Thank u so much for taking the time in ur busy schedule, to teach all of us how to be a better painters
My pleasure 😊
These videos are helpful in many ways, thanks a million Chris
Hi from East Tennessee!!!
WE LOVE YOU!!!!
THANKS for sharing your KNOWLEDGE!!! You are AMAZING!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks buddy I have to go back to look at your other techniques to be honest it’s helping me make a living thanks
Appreciate your knowledge! I'm doing subcontractor work now and I had no training when I started a year ago, my expertise is culinary. I've watched a bunch of your videos and really do appreciate what you do Chris. God bless brother! ✌️
The Idaho painter is the best, I've been painting and drywalling for over 22 years and I use these methods as well, I actually pull two wires slightly apart on some of my frames and my sleeve fits more snug, I actually have my elbow side of my frame on the dry side and when I'm laying it off in one direction after distributing I gently twist my frame to pick up any line's. When I'm rolling a second coat I intentionally leave a small run as a marker so I'll know what's wet and don't go back and try to lay off paint that's already drying causing flashing and uneven stipple. Of course when I leave the run for my marker I pick it out .
I’ve followed you for some time now and I’m finally brave enough to begin my interior painting process. I have no supplies what so ever, so I’ll check out your online store. Wish me luck!
Your one of the better painters on here. I'm always checking and curious how other painters paint and their techniques.
Excellent tip on the roller rotation! Thanks
Thank you! I have to paint my whole house inside. You are teaching me some amazing painter methods.
awesome
Just painted my daughter accent wall at her spa using your method it turned out beautifully thank you brother
That is awesome!
You learn something new everyday. Nice work!
Good tips. I’m preparing to paint some walls myself. I’m no pro in fact in the past I’ve painted walls and didn’t really do great.
Those 5 gallon paint can curls are working!!! 💪🏻
I love you’re channel brother. Keep up the great content…Well done.
Thanks for the video. Appreciate the tips
Thanks for all your videos. I’m watching everything on rolling, cut in and trim work that I can find. Painting the interior of our house, one room at a time, over the next year. The education I’m getting here is priceless.
Just a helpful hint(s)
I do my ceiling (s).
The walls are easier later.
Also, choose standard interior colors to paint throughout.
Thanks for the great tips.
Perfection!
learned a lot. very useful. thanks
Another awesome video, thanks
Hey man great channel excellent content. These too are really improving my game , so thanks dude.
I only recently found that same method of facing that roller sleeve in the right direction. It definitely does keep it from scooting off the roller handle. I'm glad you mentioned it to your viewers.
Pretty obvious though
His Wooster cage will not lose a sleeve in either direction. Great cage.
If the sleeve is slipping, spread (pull) the bars on the cage to hold it. Feather out with the "coming off" direction, apply in the pushing on direction for best results
You're the man! 👍
Thanks 🙏
Good job Chris 👍
Thanks for the video
Thanks mate!
Thanks for the advice king.
Glad to help
GRASIAS X EL VIDEO
Good video! I don't usually roll out of a tray, so my method tends to be a little different, but the main points remain the same. Spread the paint evenly, maintain a wet edge, don't dry nap, and backroll each section before it starts to tack. Thanks for the great content, keep up the awesome work!
Yeah he didn't really mention backrolling, eh? I'll load the roller up then create a "V" shape like 3-4 feet high (in the middle of the wall, and also not much wider than the roller width, and that's when I'll roll onto the wall. Then I'll load up again, repeat, and then back roll those two sections that I just put on the wall. How do u go about it
Thankyou!!!
Most people don’t know how hard it is to be a painter I still learning everything every day
You bet
Thanks
Good job man
Was watching your masking video from a year ago. So helpful. I'm going to try to convince my boss to buy the 3Ms. Thanks for your videos. Can you do a video on how to paint and mask around a deck? Or can you offer some tips? I had a very difficult time painting and reaching the final vinyl that sits just below the deck flooring and at level with the joist
Great idea to rotate roller, I used to use that technique to prevent drips onto floor, before switching over to what I do now. Good video.
I lift the loaded roller over the tray.
With a turn of my wrist I tilt the sleeve over clockwise
And back a turn of the wrist
Return to level and it will hold.
Shift to the wall.
Second speedy method is a careful spin of 1 or 2 revolutions. Then, the shift to the wall
@Johnnyboy
Just about everything.
SonnyBoy
What's your question?
Nice job
How many years have you been painting. I love this channel for good tips.
38 years and I've never seen anyone paint that way.
I can take a sleeve out of a half used five stand it in the tray and plunge a handle in it, for one thing. That's a loaded roller, lol.
I start by cutting in the wall so I can feather roll it out tighly, especially around switches and outlets.
Start near the bottom and roll up the near the full height.
Roll back down half the width of the roller and up again. Flip the sleeve to get a little more filling distance. My personal trick.... you're all welcome....
Develop an even roller with a smooth feather edge (rolling toward the sleeve on side) after filling in the space and carefully roll it out corner to corner. (in the sleeve "coming off' direction). At the end I back paint and finish into the painted end. Check the wall at an angle to be sure it's smooth. Done !
Flat is what I use to seal a patch...which will burn through any Semi Gloss.
Last important tip....
With Semi Gloss...
Don't let the cutting dry before it's rolled, or it will show lines.
I started painting my office a flat navy-blue color. My rolling technique was bad and it showed. Frustrated, I decided to watch one of your videos (different from this) where you talk about loading up the roller with enough paint and making sure to overlap the previous pass by 50%. Then I did the "layout" pass from top to bottom that you recommend with the handle to the right-side. BINGO! That was the instruction that I needed. Not having enough paint on my roller for each pass was my biggest issue, IMO.
Now, my paint job looks professional and I'm no longer intimidated or frustrated by my painting abilities. Thanks!
Nice video Idaho,
Hi Chris, I've been watching you rvideos for a while now and really enjoy how much I learn from them. I would love it if you would do a video about exterior prep and paint on an older home, that has been neglected for a very long time. You know what kind I mean. The ones that have been used as a rental for years and are on their last legs. Can they be saved?
I’ve loved your videos! They’ve been really helpful to me as a DIYer. Question on outlets and covers and light switches - really nice houses I’ve seen have the outlets and covers painted to match the wall. I’ve read this can present a fire hazard. I’ve painted a couple of mine to match walls and they look GREAT. Before I go about doing all of them throughout the house - is there any chance it’s listed as some sort of violation in an inspection when we sell? As for light switches, should I avoid painting the actual switch since they are handled so much?
Great video Chris🤠
Thanks James
Been watching very helpful techniques bro 😊
Glad to help
Absolutely love your videos. I wonder if you could answer a quick question for me. I need to paint a bedroom wall. It had previously wallpaper on which I’ve removed it Come off really clean couldn’t believe how easy it was actually do. I need to prime the walls before I paint them or can I just give a lite sand and paint?
Great video!! Keep it up man!!
Question; Do I got back with a brush to paint the edges?! Thanks!
Love from pakistan GOD bless you
Thanks Maqsood
Trying to find out what I should use on a ceiling that is fiber tile
I’m going to paint exactly like you are should wing everyone. Big snow snow
Nice
When you backed rolled the leading edge of the roller was on the right side. Can you also back roll with the leading edge on the left side, starting from top to bottom?
Thanks again I love your video man. I love seeing true passion.
Chris, you keep showing everyone all these tips and tricks and soon we’ll be out of business :) painters are already undervalued as it is, compared to other trades.
That's what I always think of these videos. I've studied painting in trade school for three years before I applied for a job as a painter in Europe. That's how the system works there. Now I'm a Wisconsin Painter. It was 26 years ago, and now people might just get inspired, learn the tricks of the trade for free and skip the painters. Well, that's what youtube is about. Making money with the content. Everyone is making and saving except the painters. Sort of like revealing all the tricks of the magician, until no one shows up at the shows :) Chris and others also reveal how to tape properly, make perfect lines, etc. Now anyone can do a decent job. The only thing left for good painters is a good routine that helps us to be faster, more efficient, so if it takes 4 days for a diy er to paint a bedroom, they might think... you know what, I'm not saving much money if I pay myself $4 an hour to save the $450 that the painter would've charged. I guess I'm trying to be positive about this. :D
@@kutykutyka I totally agree with you my brother. I’m originally from Europe myself. I’m a painter in California right now.
It's great that Chris takes the time and effort to post very helpful videos to help out the amateur painter. However, CZcams videos done by professional painters make any job look easy. If someone has very little experience, painting for them can be difficult and takes a lot longer than you may think. There's much more involved than picking up a roller or a brush and slapping paint on a wall. Preparing the walls or trim goes a long way in getting a nice finish Really good painters are underappreciated these days.
Sometimes, being a good painter means being a good un-painter. Don't find out the hard way, what side you should be on.
One ruined article of clothes, a gallon gets bumped over onto carpeting or down the side of a house, can wreck your whole day......lol
I brush, roll, spray, stain, varnish, hang vinyl, match colors, drywall and plaster...
Great video, and appreciate the tips. Do you continue the same method above the window? I’ve never been able to find any information regarding rolling/laying out your paint above door casings/windows. Any tips would be great. I’ve enjoyed your tips and tricks videos for the last few years and have found them very helpful. Thank you.
I do
Okay, my friend wants us to paint her room but she just had the floors refinished, beautiful hardwood. What do you use to protect them. Would I clean then roll frog tape around edge then roll out a protectors to that?
Purdy makes a frame that holds the roller on both ends, and is adjustable from 12" to 18". If you paint a few projects a year, it's worth the $25 investment.
Wooster makes better products
Thank you so much for that verse in the Bible where Jesus Christ bless you and your family let’s get ready since Jesus Christ is coming soon for his people ❤️
we call that back rolling here in NC ! I prefer to cut in trim first then roll walls. Seems to be faster because you can paint fast on the trim then cut the wall into the trim.
I back paint the trim on doors and windows, but just the sides with trim paint (semi)
Then I cut in the walls (flat)
Easier to cut the wall straight, than a 1/2 inch trim.
All same paint....same
cut sides and fill the rest of the frames after the walls are done. Paint the door(s) last.
Will you cut in before the second coat? I've done it both ways
1/4th bottom of the walls are patched up with the cement. So if I choose any shade of green on one wall then what oil primer distemper I have to use to even the whole wall.
Can anyone tell me how to start painting on seepage affect ted wall. I have done with cement patching now I have to my room myself. Please guide the cheapest way to to do.
Hi there! I just found your channel and have been learning a lot. I was wondering if I could pick your brain about which airless sprayer to buy. I'm not a painter; just an ordinary DIY homeowner. I want to paint my house which is a 1600sqft ranch that has some additions as well as stain my cedar fence once every few years. We have about 400ft of the fence, so it's quite a bit. I guess I want something that's going to deliver a good product but also not going to break the bank.
I recommend the Titan 440 or 410 for a good sprayer Paintlifesupply.com 👍
👍👍
Planning to paint my interior and wondering if a power roller is best or just mimic the manual version I’m seeing here? Power seems like it would be convenient so I don’t have to keep going back to the tray for more paint.
Nah just buy a paint trough or something and use plastic bags as a liner, they hold a few gallons at a time
Do you paint single story exterior homes in Meridian I have 1800 ft house that I need to get painted this spring /summer
Solid! Nice and concise. but lead with the frame where the most pressure is. It’s 2022 and we are struggling to pull paint rollers off of frames over here.
It matters because anyone with less experience in painting that doesn’t fully understand the importance of backrolling or how to do it properly will leave at least 20 lap marks on the wall your painting. For example, I have a guy named Jonny, after two years of painting with me; I can’t trust him for an amazing even finish because he doesn’t lead with the frame anymore. The extra pressure from that part of the roller is enough to create noticeable lap marks and flashing.
Jonny needs retraining.
Just use an 18 inch roller with a frame that attaches on both ends. Twice as fast and problem solved
@@gshick true but 9” Wooster frame with a Wooster gt stick is so reliable and maneuverable. Add a 1/2” corona roller and Behr marquee… your talking only 50-65% of the speed of an 18”. Easier cleanup too with a jet hose.
after painting smooth sheetrock with semigloss for 3 years straight doing comercial jobs i learned real quick to put it on evenly almost like halflapping when you spray but with a roller otherwise you look down the side of the wall in the light and youll see every single line. smooth walls and semi gloss is one of the hardest things to make look good. that and brush and rolling steel fire doors with oil paint with a moe hair. i dont miss comercial painting one bit lol nothing but steel doors, doorframes and smooth wall semigloss lol and endless conduit which sucks too
@@swere1240
I hate conduits...
Pipes, Ductwork, Blocks...
And 44' ladders.
Thank you for the tutorial. Very helpful. Can you tell me the color of the paint you are using?
I cannot remember
Do you sand the wall after each coat?
Why wouldn't you cut in first so you can eliminate brush strokes with the roller as much as possible and have a more uniform texture? I don't know a single professional painter who rolls before they cut in. Also, 18 inch rollers all the way.
I was confused by the speed. Wouldn't it take forever to load up each pass?
What is the most popular white used on kitchen cabinets? Thanks
Alabaster
Good tips thanks. only you didn't show how you get the paint from the paint tray. looks like you were just rolling back and forth. my way is roll into about a inch or two lift and keep repeating over and over so the whole cover has a even amount of paint on it.
😉👍🏾
Hello Idaho painter , I have a request for you . Can you please tell more about the tools you used ?
Thank you very much in advance .
Sure I will
Where can I get those pants in Canada? I must have those lol
When I go to load the roller, I dunno if I have a low quality roller, but it rather slides on the tray instead of rolling
A plastic tray like Simms with deep ribs helps. Typically you can allow several layers of paint to build up and then peel it clean. No liners, just a second tray. Quality roller cage like his Wooster is essential. Slimy drywall primer is sometimes a challenge and a cheap plastic grid floating on top will help.
Do you recommend sanding between every coat?
Not always
What's your favorite paints for interior walls, ceiling, doors, and trim if cost isn't a factor? Appreciate your response and videos!!
Walls BM SureScrub
So, I’ve only painted a half dozen houses or so, but I am 100% positive that if I loaded my roller for each strip I would have an entire wall worth of drips! Let alone load each strip and use a 50% overlap! I know you know what you’re doing and others who post videos but stuff like this baffles me. I will load once every 2 or 3 9” strips or even three sometimes and I’ll come back half an hour later and find drips. I once went a bit heavy on a wall, but nowhere even close to what you’re doing and when I came back there were no drips but the whole wall looked kind of globby or saggy.
Do I do the ceiling and trim edging before or after? Does it matter?
Do all your brushwork and edges before you roll, rolling is the easiest and fastest section, all the hard work is the cutting in and brush work
@@alexsallery Okay. Thank you!
@@alexsallery in another video he puts down a light coat before doing cut ins. Is this necessary?
How much pressure against the wall or gently
light
How long would you use the same roller pad on a job
After using and washing them about 10-15 times the nap starts to get a little stiff, that's when I save those sleeves for oil primer, basement floor rolling, etc. when I use them one last time. I hate wasting so I wash them out meticulously until water comes out clean, but after they dry you can tell when the nap gets stiff, and starts to deteriorate and won't hold as much paint or won't do a nice even finish. On rough walls they're still ok even then.
Thank you so much for your response, we appreciate your channel.@@kutykutyka
Been painting 20 year's I don't face my frame backwards like you... in those 20 year's I've only had a nap come off my frame maybe 1 or 2 times if it was not tight enough put a bit of frog tape around the inside of your roller...
You giving away all the tricks of the trade but as others have said they may be able to think the can achieve a finish like a pro but its not as easy as it looks unless you been doing it all ur life like us in the trade and people it is a trade. Upsets me how undervalued we are some times just saying
Final coat to avoid roller marks and lines?
If the first coat is not strong enough. Add a second coat for strength. A third coat and your work should be well done. There should be no marks or lines left after any coat. Take a look from different angles. Or improve the application tool/ technique.
Just curious why don’t you use an 18 inch frame? It’s superior in every way possible to an L shaped frame
Amazon everyone acts like a. W is absolute gospel when painting
How do you keep the roller on the frame? Every time I use roller while applying the paint the roller starts to come off?
You h. Answered thank you
Use a Blue Tiger from paintlifesupply.com
I know keeping a wet edge is important but is half the roller in overlap really necessary? Seems like overkill but also makes sense mathematically for applying the paint evenly.
It keeps the wall from having misses, resulting from being stretched?
Called holidays....
50/50 overlap not nessasary at all rolling spraying yes rolling no
did you stop using the sims trays with the tray arms?
No
I hired a paint contractor but now several walls have bubbles. Never seen this before and this after hiring painters and painting myself in the past. Why did this happen? Do you have a video addressing this issue?
I have on a couple occasions had bubbles develop mysteriously that recurred no matter how I tried to seal the surface. There is much on the internet about this grievous problem. :)
@@jeffreylittlewood6237 thank you! Seeking the highest level of experience and support via the Idaho Painter mostly. 😏
Saponification
A reaction to soap or something that has otherwise contaminated the surface.
Try washing substrates with Tri-Sodium Phosphate. Available in any real paint store.
Why do painters wear white? I’ve always wondered
Wow, is this the home owner class?? Roller frame should be facing the way your rolling, so your frame should be pointing left in this with slight pressure towards, ( strict your wrist left) to avoid marks
So you roll your wall before you cut?
That was my question - Ive seen other videos where he always does the cut-ins first, so thats what I do..otherwise, its too hard to blend..
Is there any difference when rolling with a 9”or 18” roller?
Speed
@@paintpaintpaintco.6039 I guess I’m wondering about technique
@@alliewilcox8622 Same technique.
Double the trouble, lol...?
Never used one, but they sure spell production...
Is your term "laying out" also known as backrolling?
Where do you get those pants with built in knee pads
Dickies makes them
Excellent advice. Too bad 95% of painters don't do it the proper way like this guy is explaining. Instead, they will try and get away with using as little paint as possible, quick roll job, grab the customer's check, and bounce hoping they can get to the end of the block before the customer sees the finished product. We write our own scope of work proposals now for our painters, we don't specify # of coats anymore, we say "full coverage of all painted surfaces". It's just a shame what this industry as devolved into, I wish there were more painters like this guy but it just comes with the trade I guess.
less talk, more painting.
I like to put three strips of paint on the wall then roll it out
Nice
I do that too, on the larger scale....👷
We'll be in the 50's to the 60's this weekend. Without bringing in heaters, what's the lowest temp I can paint a room without it drying funny?
For me 60
