i like the part when he removed the old wall paint. thanx A LOT!!!
Hahahah
No shit. I came here for easy tips on removing old paint because I have the original 1950s paint under 3-4 coats of paint, and when it peeled off on one section it released a nasty “this old house smell” which I want gone! I think I will just buy the festool drywall sander and do it this way.
Samee
Americans....what a goose
@@Monuments_to_Good_Intentions I have a drywall sander, don't waste your money and time. just do like he did, fill the holes light sand and paint over. I spent hours and got no where with the old paint.
This topped the search list for 'removing wall paint'! Well-done!
I still don’t know how to remove the paint from the wall 😕
Please consider changing the name of this video. I have to agree it is misleading. I want to know how to remove paint, not be told not to do so.
Thanks for the tip. Glad you kept the title of this video, I may not have found it otherwise.👍
Wow. "Well, we could do it the right way, but that might take all day. So lets half-ass it and slap some lipstick on this pig." You're a real contractor man. No really. I believe you.
Sooo the title was meant to read "Removing the Need of Removing Old Wall Paint" ?!. . .
Hahahahaha
Good technique! Thanks
That's ok if the paint is stuck on the walls, if the paint is loose due to plaster dust under the paint, the paint has to be peeled off, then under coated (sealed), then any dents, chips etc, filled and when dry, a light sanding. Cheers
Love the quick, no-nonsense explanation without alot of blabbing. thank guy.
I just move to my new home where the previous owner already paint the wall and it peeled off a little from the side and I was wondering what will happen if people keep coating another paint for every new home owner. Turns out this video is useless.
That's an actual "5min craft" this is genius, my guy!! Thank u so much 🔥🔥🔥🔥 please keep posting amazing content like this
Hi Chris, I am watching in 2022. Thank you!
This is exactly what I needed to know. Thank u!
Just saved me days of headache 😊
How to Remove Old Wall Paint: "You really don't want to remove it."
What if the old paint scratches off super easily? I worry that if I don’t remove all of the old paint that the new paint will scratch off easily as well
Brilliant video been mind bogling ive a entire landing & stairs wall to re paint
You are a life saver!!! I am terrible at DIY and this is soooo helpful xxx
I am really satisfied by being told i don't need to remove all of the paint.
Ya but how do I remove the paint?
At least he said he's not going to actually remove the paint at the beginning.
I like this .. straight to the point. I will just try to figure out how to do it
It took me about 6 hours to scrape a wall about 50% larger than this one in the video with a scraper about 20% the size this guy has 🤪🤣 tomorrow I'm gonna use a primer and paint it. Wish me luck, lol 😁
My boss ordered me to paint the wall. Thanks for the informative ideas
What are the material called? Pls answer i badly need to repaint my walls in my own room by myself and i am only 19 huhu i need someone to guide me
What is the name of that compound he uses to smooth the wall?
No I am not painting over it , I am going to tile it , so the paint needs to come off
what's that "compound?", putty?
Genius
What if it is peeling latex paint over that was painted over oil paint?
Already tried to remove the paint :(
I think you just saved me about 6,000 hours worth of work. can't do this in every room though, the renter idiots put on several coats of extremely dark paint in the bathroom and there's no way I'm going to get a light color again even with three coats of primer so I'm probably going to have to sand the bathroom down to nothing.
This video was very clear...thanks!
t.y....i have a bathroom wall that I painted with a thick paint. I'm a little concerned about painting over it because I'm afraid it's going to peel. what would you suggest I do for that should I peel off all the paint and sand it all down. this is a great video great idea so much easier then peeling off the paint off the wall. Would you advise this instead or should I prime over the old paint
Hello sir, how to remove trocolor paint from the wall, please help me, it's a big problem for me
That was a VERY light sanding.
Yes but I want to tile the wall, this doesn’t help
The last person to live in my house painted over all of the window frames. The old paint is essentially glueing my windows shut. Does anyone know what to do about that?
It was u wasn't it carly
@@robertm7486 lol na. In a new place now. Don’t have that problem anymore
chris bos used to play for the miami heat
Which part he remove the old paint
Helpful thanks!
But what if I have to remove the old paint. This video does not explain this. I need to remove the paint as the previous owner had painted the wall with some texture compound. I now need to do some repairs on the wall and it's impossible to match the texture. So the only option is to remove this texture paint.
Yes, the title is BS. How To Remove Old Wall Paint - Don't. C'Mon Man.
Is compound the same as putty??
Actually, I DO want to take the paint off my wall - that's why I clicked on a video that says "Removing Old Wall Paint"
I need to remove the paint, I want a a concrete wall, how about that
I have renters that absolutely ruined my unit they were living in. They painted everything dark blue and a year later did it again. none of this was to my knowledge. it's the worst paint job I've ever seen, it must be a half inch thick. I'm not kidding.
it's going to cost me $50,000 even if I do all the work myself. They ruined absolutely every square inch of the entire place. I put in a brand new floor for them after they ruined the carpeting and didn't even charge them for it. $8,000 down the drain it was ruined in 3 months. I only kicked them out because they weren't paying rent, which was less than what the taxes water sewer and mortgage was on the place... never try to help anybody with a sob story. They bought new cars and ate at restaurants every single day. They have three dogs in that place that I didn't know about and have six people living there. I had no idea why the grass kept dying. They were parking cars on it...wtf. Theres a special place in hell for renters, and I'm sure it's full by now So that's the only thing keeping andrea gayles and her husband there after she passes away.
You are the best !!!!!!
How to not remove old wall paint
Is Spackle okay?
What about a wall that has multiple layers of paint already? for example my bathroom has a tan coat on top of a white coat on top of a blue coat. And the paint is starting to bubble up and come off. As if it wasn't prepped properly before all of those coats. Should I just strip all of the old paint or just do what you just did?
If the paint is loose enough to scrape, scrape it down to the excess. Then sand and put down wall compound.
I will paint a wall that have at least four old coats. The newest one is oil based and is pealing off.
How to remove all these old coats?
What happen?
Yay i can save soo much time!!! thank you!
Fucken legend.
So the secret to removing old paint off a wall, is to not remove the old paint off the wall.
These comments didn’t help 💀
Why even scrape it then?
Why is this called removing paint in wall if he just added caulk 😊
But my is a paint that is peeling off
Guys, don’t do this. If the paints peeling it means it’s not adhering to the wall. So the spot you put compound will mostly stay on, but the rest of the new paint you put on over time will start lifting. Because it’s attached to the old paint that’s lifting and so it will lift too. Also, no disrespect but that wall was not smooth like glass. It takes much more time or coats of sheet rock and different grades of sanding to get it truly smooth.
So I would need to remove all paint? Is there a way to remove it easier or will need to use force?
How not to remove paint?
Thank You that Simple and to the Point! Well Done!
and if you have what looks to be paint that dried in clumps
Like a boss, thanks for the tip
Doesnt help.What about peeling paint off from the wall
Hi Criss I seek your expert advise what if you have a wall that has a dark paint and you want to replace it with a lighter shade paint what is to be done in order to repaint that wall which has a dark pint on it?
Many thanks in advance.
Thulfaqar Abdulla Multiple coats or a thick primer
did instructions apply for cement wall?
Thanks....... :)
Thank you so much This is what I want. Easy to understand n do
Title Should be, how to prep the wall for painting.
I came here to learn how to remove paint from a wall, and was told to not remove paint from a wall.
Uhhhhh what?
This really helped. Thanks!
Thanks Chris!
How to remove old paint: f**k it, paint over it!
What about an outdoor wall with uneven surfaces?
Thanks Chris good video keep it up bro
Wow what comments. Here is the deal, just like your computer when you want it to do something and cannot find the answer. By omission, they are saying it cannot be done. Here is what to do. Lathe and plaster. Use a hammer then new plaster. Dry wall cut it out in large sections and replace. Put the old stuff in plastic bags, take it to the dump. Wear a mask. Drape everything in drop clothes. Seal the room off with plastic, cover the cloths with plastic. Turn off central air heating or cooling. Roll that plastic up and throw it away. Vacuum with a filter. You don't want old dry wall in your nose, asbestos inside sounds rare, lead inside isn't. Through omission the video points out there is no magic, disappointing as it is. Wall paint doesn't strip like metal. The job sucks
Raul Escobar It may seem like a big job. It enters the realm of being far easier to rip and replace rather than stand there screwing around. one can fix a small area but when the entire wall is covered in painted over old wall paper glue and is now a flaking mess you are better off looking at the video How to remove drywall from a wall.
WTF You are treaky, bruh. You're just covering not removing completely.
Some of these comments are so rediculous. There really is no magical method for removing all the old layers of paint from a wall. If you think there is, you really have no experience. If it seems easy, It's most likely going to end up looking very dodgy. Your solution for removing all the old paint from a wall is to remove all of the plaster and to replaster. There really is no skimping out. From someone like me who has the knowledge I've learned from my family being in the renovation/handyman business, you sound silly. The video does exactly what the title says. And I've used this method with success. Don't complain about the video witch is very much on point. Fork out the money and replaster, otherwise stop complaining & put up with your ugly ass walls!
+Jake Maggs I scraped the old paint off my wall, and because I am a begginer in those works I really cant tell which is the plaster. I see a layer that is yellowish that is intact and another layer that is white powder probably the wall right? If the yellowish layer is plaster, can I leave that and plaster the remaining wall where I find holes and rough surface? Will this work? Then I suppose I put the Primer and then the paint right?
😂🤣😄 I love this comment. It made me laugh, but it was also helpful. Thanks Jake. Now I know that my brother needs to replaster the bathroom walls.
Thanks v helpful!
thankyou - top tip
Thumbs down for title
