Truly a master of his art! Definitely one of the best Christopher Walken impressions I've seen!
Gee I wished I had watched this video before doing my hallway walls! I couldn't figure out why I could see my lines! Now I know!
Thank you Spencer!!!!
I must have watched over 20 videos on this topic this one is easily the best. Precise, clear, to the point.
I concur. Best explanation and demonstration I've seen. The demo at the start of the video of how not to do it is exactly how I've been doing it for years and getting disappointing results as shown. Thanks for sharing your experience 😊
Exactly this!!
Surprisingly each time I watch one of your videos i come away with some golden nugget of information. Thx again 👍
great tips, don't be tempted as the roller runs low on paint to push harder...you'll just squish paint out of the ends...steady pressure always...and don't cut in the whole room, just a section at a time so you are going over wet paint !
Thank you so much for your wonderful tutorial. Yesterday I painted my hallway wall - the wrong way! So frustrating. After watching your lesson I will go for it again today like a pro. Much appreciated.
Thank you for this! I was starting to become demoralized! I've tried several techniques for rolling on some dark green paint in my bathroom, with each time getting closer to streak free, but still not there yet! I see some of the errors of my ways now and I think I'll now be able to solve my painting problems!!!
Life saver, extremely good tutorial for a very frustrating issue, thank you very much!
your instructions are very clear!!!
3 stages to applying finishes. 1. get the liquid on the wall. 2. spread it out evenly . 3. make it pretty. Always remember what stage you are on.
Best video covering this. Thank you.
Thank you soooo much. I was finally able to paint my walls and save some money. ❤
After painting my sons bedroom and getting lines watching this im off back to re paint 😂 ive never had the problem before but using the same technique every time
It worked perfectly and just finished my daughters room which again is another re plastered room which as worked great
Great tips 👍 Thank you
Great video thank you. Can at a good time as I'm just about to finish my office.
great video, I rolled my ceiling with this method and it came out beautifully! Thank you
So glad to hear!!!
Thanks for the teaching
This is very helpful 🙏
Hey Spencer - have you tried a Sherlock pole & roller cage? These were a game changer for me yrs ago. Good vid for those new to the painting game.
Very helpful, thank you! Do you do the horizontal roller cutting on the bottom of the wall or just the top?
Should comment on roller as especially in Tampa with textured walls the roller sleeve used makes a big difference.
Bravo Spencer.
Excellent tutoring,and execution. Details,details,details
I use 6""whizroll after cutting .My maximum cut range is about 2 ft at a time .
👍👏🎖🎖🙋♂️
Thank you so much for sharing this information of your expertise with me
Great points!… very appre🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍
Oof I made pretty much all of these mistakes and need to redo it. Thanks for the vid.
You have heard the saying when using a hand saw, let the weight of the saw do the work. The same is true for a paint roller. It takes skill and practice to master this but you will never leave a roller track again.
Thank you. Genius🎉🎉🎉🎉
Wish I saw this video before I started my second coat with Behr Dynasty paints...I have a horrendous mess from my patch-up work because I was using up my leftover paint and applied it like an artist would to a painting, just like your first example. It's very hard as an artist to remember that wall painting is not the same as doing canvas painting, especially with the ingredients and gloss type being involved heavily in the final product of a DIY job. 😅
It's like watching paint dry😁 however very good tips and somewhat common sense. Buy good quality paint that won't splatter and will cover in one coat if the previous paint is a light color. The long handle certainly reduces stress on your arms and you can get better pressure.
This is right. Always use a quality sleeve but don’t apply too much pressure or you will create edges of paint and crush the nap of the roller.
Nice camerawork to catch the unevenness of the paint at the start of the video! Why don't you spray? And is sanding the only remedy for getting rid of marks on previously painted walls? Thanks.
Excellent video, very helpful. The roller I use whilst being 9 inch wide has a plastic paint shield underneath it and consequently the pole fixes to it in the niddle of the paint shield. Is this device OK or would you recomend I change it to the type you are using in the video?
Please change it. That’s a gimmick sir. Thank you!!
What kind of roller did you use? What's the nap thickness?
If I want my ceiling to be the same color as the walls, can I use the same kind of paint?
Good video🎉
Thanks for the visit
Very good video. I wonder if you need to do sanding on the wall after the 1st coat? Or can you use the technique shown in this video whitout any sanding before the 2nd coat? I want to get rid of the roller marks shown on my wall after 2 coats, and wonder if it will help to do sanding before the 3rd coat.
I have the same dilema right now, so what did you did?
When applying your first coat (or mist coat), would it be acceptable to go in any direction just to get paint on the wall? Following up with the correct procedure on the second coat.
Strictly speaking, it doesn’t matter too much, unless you’re heavy-handed; however, you should go in the same direction on the first coat as the second, so that you don’t make ridges sideways and horizontally; it is a natural to repeat in anyway other than vertically, and therefore you will likely causes ridges
This looks like a high end job.. Spencer I was wondering your thoughts and potential video on the subject of wall finishing. I have a lot of “decorator friends” who scoff at me for - slightly thinning down thick gloopy paint, straining it, and applying it with medium or thin nap rollers. Especially for the finish coat. These are non negotiable things on high end finish jobs in my opinion and can’t see how anyone wouldn’t do that. Apparently painting thick contaminated paint with long nap rollers straight on to prepped walls is the professional way 🤦♂️🤦♂️ please help Spencer tell me I’m not crazy
You are NOT crazy. You sound like the consummate professional
Good video. Do you cut all around, bottom, top, both sides of a wall, all in one go before applying the coat? Do you let the cut dry before putting on the coat?
I'd like an answer too
A good rule of thumb I use is to cut in a wall, roll it, then cut in the next wall, roll it… That way you are rolling into a wet edge.
Beautiful!
What paint, color and sheen was this?
Matte finish emerald. Sherwin Williams. Usa
Painting stucco with a roller is much easier and more forgiving than interior drywall.
Why is it with some paint you are lucky to get two complete runs on a wall with 3/8” roller?
Cheap paint?
Too much pressure?
When you're cutting top just take a rad roller then you won't have to go up twice.
I get your advice, but you didn’t show the long wall results from the wall you painted in the video. You showed the same finished wall from the start. Like how do we know it works?
I'm always surprised by how much paint can be applied in one roll. If I have the roller so wet that i can do even one full roll top to bottom, then it's dripping with paint. This guy is doing two or more rolls, and there is consistent uniform paint application. Is it better paint, better rollers??
Someone had an accident 🤣 12:18
@@spencercolgan nope not what I was saying at all. I saw the paint on the drop cloth 🤣👍🏻 I don’t criticise you Spencer you’re a top guy 👌🏻
@@rickmorty7170 lol!!!!!!!!
I did have an accident on their brand-new dropcloth, and I forget what happened, when was Day one !!! Lol
lol. I’m still laughing at your comment. How have you been brother ?
@@spencercolgan bro it’s been a while how are you. Haven’t seen one of your videos in a long minute.
No need to get on a ladder. You have a roller on a stick. Just roll the wall.
How to to make an easy job complicated.
I mean you can do it the simple way but everyone who knows is gonna tell you it looks like 💩
