paint

. I know, I know, I know it's like, what else could we learn? Listen, throw away the tape. I have secrets that make you

paint

in half the time it takes. We are used to it, so we don't need much to paint well. You need a brush, you know, a roller, a good stick, a cocking gun, some sanding action, so before you get out the brush and roller, there are a few things you need to do. what you need to do to get a professional result number one, remove all the screws and prepare the surface number two, remove all the plates and accessories, you can't bypass these steps, so first of all remove all the plates, okay, yes I had a dollar.

For every time I saw a plate painted on the wall, I'll tell you what bothers me the most. It only takes a couple of seconds. It gives you the opportunity to identify if it is broken. It will probably need to be cleaned. There you have it. it's out of the way, okay, thermostats again, take them off, they're usually installed pretty simply, we don't do anything there, a couple of screws and two plugs in the wall, okay, here we are, boom, here we go, like this that someone came and painted. before now, if you're going to change your color, if you don't clean this up and leave it there, you have to paint everything over two just to hide the old pink color, take the two seconds it takes to get this out. your way, okay, this is a doorbell cover, really nothing except it's been repainted, owner after owner, after owner, they just come off, people just fit by compression, get them out of your way, let paint your plastic accessories, okay, here we go.

I'll take care of it, you can inspect now, make sure all the connections are clean, okay, get rid of the tape my lord, same with the receptacle covers, take them all off and just a tip, if you're worried about losing all the screws you can. Put them all back where they came from. Well now the drywall, sorry, the vacuum covers, are just there with attaching screws. Okay, remove the screws. The secret here is that this is actually hardwired, so it's low voltage, so don't be afraid, but no. I don't want to take this off the wall more than half an inch, okay, there's enough room to move the brush again, let's remove all the old paint from there, okay, leave that one intact there, come on, ready to go now generally.

Speaking, no, I remember the last time I saw a wall that was full of paintings. It had nails. Each nail was missing a stud. Look at this. Hey, we got about a thousand, so once we had our whole wall, you know, set up. We are ready to paint, we have to prepare our wall, remember professional results, it is all in the preparation, so yes, we have removed all the cover plates, we have the paint here, but we have to fill the holes and check for small dents. and imperfections because until we make the surface of the wall perfect there is no point in adding paint, just put lipstick on the pig and if you don't want to paint a pig, fix the wall, here's a secret.

I've seen a lot of different things actually for a lot of different people there we go to the classic damage and I'm just cleaning it by hand tool 501 this is used to clean a brush this is used as a screwdriver this is a scraper this is designed to dent it is Like A little mini hammer, drywall is usually pretty soft so what you do is you press it into the hole and give it a twist like this and you create a big dent and you'll see it because it actually marks the paper. Every time you see a nail hole you want to make a dent like those two things, it creates a void that needs to be filled, which is very easy to do with drywall compound, in most nailing rooms. a nail on the surface explodes a little.

Also, if you just pick up the nail and then clean it or try to fill it, little bumps appear everywhere, that's okay and it doesn't feel good, so give it a little spin if there are four or five of them. Do it four or five times, this is not about speed, this is about perfection. Okay, once you've prepped the surface and done it right the first time, when you paint these walls, they're going to be absolutely beautiful, new. honey now here is my next secret when you are repairing dry wall surfaces there are a lot of products on the market that I like use this to fix your holes most of them are rubbish because they shrink when they dry or they flash when you paint them, which means you put that compound on and you sand it and then you paint two coats and you come back a couple days later and in certain lights you can still see the patch shining through the paint, it's called flashing, no, a little bucket of something pink. that turns white for you, it will work, but you have to add an extra paint step to prime those patches, which is a real frustration if you're trying to do something quickly, the last thing you want is three coats of paint. that has to dry, that's crazy, so what you want to do is take your 45 sheetrock and you can buy it in little mini bags.

I just wanted to point out some sort of large ziploc bag for just a few dollars, okay no one needs it. a lot here I have enough here to probably patch the whole room, but it's easier to work without putting it on your falcon, take your finger, create a volcano, okay, set up and what we're going to do is add a part. water and then three parts powder and this takes a little bit of practice to get it to fit right and this will be like a time lapse video because it takes a couple of minutes basically what's happening here is the water is getting absorbing in everything. the mud around that volcano okay anyway you can do to help speed it up it's just a little bit of steel and spread it like a dressing okay and you're creating your own drywall compound here and the reason why If you want to do it this way and not with the putty they sell in stores, this is the following: when you put them on, these things don't need a primer.

This is an industry secret. We use 45 plaster to patch our things because we can patch them and I can. Even if I'm in a hurry I can use warm water. I can add a little salt here because when I add salt to water it changes the compound of the water and increases the rate with the chemical reaction. from the drying process okay if anyone who has ever mixed this stuff in the field with well water will know it has a little extra iron oh my gosh this thing goes from 45 gypsum board to gypsum board in four and a half minutes.

Got it, we'll use it quickly, just add a little more water until it works the way you want it to now. I have a really thick paste here right now that's a little too thick for me so just so you don't mess up just a little bit more water and I'm going to force it in come on now it's loosening up let's get all the powder in there no the more The thicker you do this, the faster it will dry. and it probably has holes in it because it can't really mix very well, so it looks pretty good, let's add a little more water, it just drips in there, that's more of a wet rhythm, that's the last thing I have.

I'm looking for it to be more of a toothpaste-like consistency, you know? If you're not very good with a hawk and then 40 is good, you can always use a paint mixing knife and a bucket to make a little more than you need in that whole bag. 20 kilos of powder and it costs $9. I'm telling you right now, you can afford to throw it in the trash, so you want it to be nice and creamy like toothpastes, that's fine, but it's not going to fall out and make a mess. true, if it's runny, you have too much water, add a little more powder, now the secret is to work a little now.

I always set up my hock when I'm fixing up a room, I have good mud on one side and I have ruins to clean my knife on the other side with all the little bits that may have come off with the paint and then bits of dirt, so look, let's take this to that little hole and that's it, okay, remember? I'm filling in a small dent, so I'm putting in more than I need. We are almost almost perpendicular. The ball is finished. Okay, this will revolutionize your life. So here's the secret. Without sanding, clean your knife on the other side. you think you have paint chips and stuff because you don't drag and mess up the mud and then you just go there and recheck the surface of the wall, there may be other imperfections, there's a little dent down there, okay, little hole there . one there, you would be surprised at the process of living in a house, moving furniture, maybe your corners are not perfect, you want to make them perfect, just run it through the corner of the wall, okay, straighten that, all that will clean your corner for you Looks like someone had one of those wallpaper savers in this corner at one point look at all the mud that filled up their crazy story.

I can't make a really pretty paint war border if I don't have a nice wall to work with, so I'll fix the corner first. Here we went off the side of the knife with a little bit of an angle made in the corner, so now that we've repaired our entire wall, I'm going to go around and do the rest. room by the time I'm done stripping and patching the rest of this room, this will be dry and I can start painting, so remember I'm going to take the whole priming process out of the equation and take a little bit more.

It's time to get it perfect, but I'm not going to stop moving, so I do a full cycle through the arm of the room to the cut and then to the shoot, three hours later and I finish a full living room, that's what treat the paint. so it's time to sand, it's been about 45 minutes, everything is nice, solid and white. I also have some soft edge action on top because you know, I mean, you get a chance to do something sexy, you'd take advantage of it like we do. What we're going to do is just remember that we're painting a wall, so your process for the room is to prepare everything in the room and then you want to sand, paint, sand and paint again, okay, and key and reason I love this 45 tiny mud is because when I apply it I don't have to walk around with a sanding block and say in every little spot, forget it because you're going to get it all over the wall, okay, use your 360 radio , quick stuff, this takes everything away. the extra ridges and dirt that was painted last time and you know it will be because anyone who paints around or the fixtures and their sockets and switches doesn't stay between coats either, you can't be that lazy and get a good job.

There we go now because we did a little extra work in this corner, we're going to use the manual test, just feel for the ridges that you might not see. The outside corners can be a little picky because they usually have that curve and my cent radius. 360 even though you have a sanding sponge sometimes it doesn't do a great job there so keep that handy double check going but now we're ready to go it's time to apply the first coat so without wasting too much time just come on. through the basics, of course, my lingo may be a little different because where I'm from, but we call this a cage, this is called manga in general, for walls.

I like 13-15 mil sleeves, the better painter you are the thicker you can go and on some jobs I'll even go up to 20 depending on the quality of the paint, but that just slides in there. This particular cage is amazing because it has ball bearing construction so it generally has a really nice flow and does an amazing job, try to make sure you wash your sleeves before using them. This is a little known fact, but even packages that say lint-free or make these crazy claims that they won't leave lint on your wall. They are all full of junk, they all have lint problems, so first you need to wash them, put them under running water, use your 5:1 tool and just scrape them a little and quickly, dry them and then they will be ready to use or when you are done After painting today, wash it and save it for next time, then everything will be ready to use.

One of these things. I will usually do thousands and thousands of square feet of wall if you take care of it for a long time. time so it may be worth the seven or eight dollar investment, then you need the paint stick, now mine has obviously been used a bit but I love it because it has a locking system so I don't always have to be sitting here with the compression to tighten it it also has a locking pin it's adaptable with this handle so when I'm rolling I don't have my handle and my cage falling apart and getting all kinds of crooked lines and causing drips so it's fabulous work with a lot of control the next thing you need is a plane now I'm going to teach you today it's a three inch angle plane it's not square it has an angle this is the one I like to use I'm going to teach this technique today so you can cut very quickly and you can cut like a pro when I'm done showing this and the way we do it is simple put some paint in your tray take some paint in an empty can put about an inch of paint in there,okay, how about it worked now?

The reason I'm going to suggest that is because you can't paint. I would have a full paint can if you try to brush out that full paint can you're going to get paint everywhere your brush will have too much paint your floor will have too much paint just stop getting an empty can it's like three dollars always work with a can empty is fine, this brush is the three inch brush that I bought at the Dulux Store, they are incredible, okay, they cost like 13 or 15 dollars. You can go to the hardware store and buy a brush if you want, but you're going to pay too much for it, so go to the pro store and ask them. a regular three inch angled brush pay decent money for it you'll get great results what I do is I push it all the way in okay and now you can see it's full of paint okay that's a brush if you try to paint with he.

It can make a big mess, so scrape all four sides. Well, now my brush is clean and still full of paint. You can see this. I want to paint with the paint from the inside of the brush so as not to cause any other problems. There's so much paint here it's not even funny. Well, I mean, I can paint probably 15 or 20 linear feet of line with this brush and when you're painting, you basically want to start, there's so much paint in there that you have to spread it around. okay here I'm just going to take this off for the road here we're going to go without heat for the next few minutes gentlemen but most survive for the greater good here we go alright and that's why you wanna get all the stuff . of the wall so you can have some control and not leave big drops everywhere, let's recap a little because when you're painting you want to cut and then go over the first coat and the second coat, you can back up on the first coat, but it's better to have a process because you can cut and roll when you are done in the room where you are ready to apply the next layer.

Remember to sand between coats, but here we go. We're going to fill our brush, we're going to clean our brush. Now this roof is still drying and I don't care because I'm not going to cut directly on the edge of the roof. I'm just going to put the base of the brush. Push the bristles down and then run my brush about an eighth of an inch from the ceiling, that's the first cut, okay, and then I'm going to smooth it all out, so that's going to be cut 101 on the second pass or the second coat. so I'm going to go straight to the ceiling now here max.

I'll do this again, we'll press the heel, push the bristles and look at the paint line, the paint isn't pushing up as far as the bristles, see that? the bristles touch the ceiling, but the paint comes from the inside of the brush, so it's about that, it's an eighth of an inch or a sixteenth of an inch away and that, and as soon as I get that snowplow effect, you see that small ridge that I move away. I clean the brush and then go back and pick up the extra paint. I don't want the extra paint to be there, okay, that extra paint right now is your enemy, not your friend.

There you go, boom, now, the second time you come here, they. It's going to be really easy to get that brush over because this is a nice freshly painted surface and you're just going to push the bristles into the ceiling like this and then pull it out to demonstrate later. Well, that was the top edge inside the corner. two types, if you're doing an accent wall, then you want to cut the inside corner the same way, put your heel here, push the tip of the brush into the corner and then go down and leave just a little bit of edge, okay? first layer, second layer, you can get a lot closer, but for now we're just trying to get really close, even if you go beyond the line, if you get too aggressive, you're going to go over the line, oh, now you have to come back with the other one paint, blah, blah, blah, so you don't want to do that, here we go, every time we do this, I'm going to push the paint, I'm going to clean the brush, if you're doing the whole room, it's a lot. simplest, you just run up and down both sides, okay, and you're looking for a piece that's about two inches wide here, when you're rolling the walls, you don't have to roll right into the corner and the reason why don't want This is because when you are rolling here, the roller side of the cage will rub here and one side of the other will be damaged, it will make a furry mess, so get used to brushing the inside. the corners don't rely on the roller to do that job for you now the next technique you're going to want to have is brushing the outside corner now in this situation we were going to have two different colors okay that's why I want to show this here because it always If you're doing two different colors, the last thing you want to do is use the roller on the outside edge because those bristle marks are always going to curl and you're going to get a little fuzzy lines, so where you get a nice, crisp line, use that 45 compound. minutes that we talked about and run against the edge, make sure you fill in all the little dings and nicks and scratches, and then what you do is you just set the heel of your brush back up, okay, and you go down like you're cutting through the ceiling, let that sixteenth of an inch line or that eighth of an inch, okay on your first layer and wait until you have it there now, now we're going to do the zooming out and we're going to brush that paint up to that edge, the secret here is that the heel of the parish can't extend beyond the corner or the bristles will detach and shoot, this way the bristles actually stand up at the edge and that keeps your corner nice and straight when you're done with the lighter color paint two layers I'll do one more layer in the darker color paint and I'll do the same thing and run along the edge and what will end up happening is this paint will create a nice straight line and you'll be able to show all your friends how straight your lines are with that technique .

Wow, that's smooth by the way. I look quite sexy, if you like it, you can watch our video on how to make a smooth edge on the ceiling. Okay, now here we are at the base, this is the four sides of the wall that we have to paint. We're cutting and you have two options here if your baseboards are in fabulous condition and the reason we do the latter is because you always want to see your cut line if your paint baseboards have a rough shape like this and they're going to need another coat, then just brush them off if your color is a light color like this just go ahead and paint the whole damn thing who cares do it quick make a nice line there make sure the caulk is covered with that wet paint and then when you're done, we can go back to the baseboard paint and we can cut a nice line because you're your view, you're sitting right on top of it, it's perfect, but if you want to keep it and not go through the extra work. and don't cover it with tape treat it the same but you have to crouch well, you have to be under your brush I can't start with the heel get to anything it's like the first layer on top and the reason you can get This is because that generally today paint is made with so many components of your chemistry set that you get great coverage, in many cases with just one coat, we still paint two coats just to ensure our texture and we don't have any flashing. primers and stains a little dull but in most cases one coat is enough now, the second coat can be applied later and you can get a nice tight look and draw that perfect straight line when the reason we can draw a straight line is because your paint from inside the brush remember you push the bristles right up to the point where you want to draw a line and you pull and the paint comes out from the inside of the brush and the outside of the brush is now your guide so wherever you push The bristles will be the guide and you simply draw a straight line from the inside of the brush.

Well, that's the secret. If you practice this for a few minutes, you will never use tape to cut anything again. You know the cut like a pro, so when we're. loading our roller, really what we're doing is loading the roller, you want to fill it with paint and you want to just run it like this and get the excess out of the tub, that's what the container is designed for. to wipe excess paint off the top of the roller, okay, I personally like to paint from floor to ceiling. I've seen so many pictures and diagrams that even professional painting companies in the pictures always have someone holding the roller in their hand and You're sweating, that's a workout, if you were sitting here holding your roller in your hand, you wouldn't even be able to get through the whole thing. the room, take a break, do one of these bad boys, move away from your wall, comfortable, we should be able to do it here. hit the ceiling and the floor you shouldn't have to bend over you shouldn't have to bend you shouldn't have to strain three what you do is you start about a foot from the top because there was a lot of paint on that roller and you just let it roll gently down the wall no pressure, that's fine and then you start with a little pressure to go back up, you're going to use wide rollers, the first layer draw a straight line and then continue back, you're going to pick up all the extra paint from the first pass, push it into the corner, go to the boot, there's about an inch and because you have all this control with a locking system with the cage on the handle, you can go extremely fast, so here we go. load this up, let's clean it up a little bit, don't be too aggressive here, you can throw paint all over the room, but again step back where you feel comfortable, start from about a foot down, okay, look at that space, add a little slowly. of pressure now move your roller back and forth until they overlap well, now we're using a little bit of pressure, but since it's two hands, the pressure is convenient.

I'm not going to hit the ceiling because I'm stretching here with my back straight I'm stretching here with my back straight okay, you see the movement of the body here, this is an ergonomic painting, this will not fatigue you, you will get a perfect roll, no drips, coverage perfect, no back pain, well, painting can be a It's a really difficult job that can require a lot of energy or it can be a lot of fun. Now you will notice that when I am rolling I go from right to left it is because the cage is pointing in that direction.

It's okay, wherever the metal is. The rod goes into your sleeve which should be at your leading edge when you are applying pressure, the pressure is greatest here and reduces through the sleeve because that is the first point of contact outside the fulcrum, so when you approach these accessories, turn them around. Roll it up gently because it's going to drip a little bit, okay? staff to texture that paint because you want to get the right eggshell finish, don't rely on the texture being the brush, use your roller and then you can load up and finish nice now we only have one pass here so I don't. put too much paint.

I want to be a little careful. Now remember that when you get to the outside corner, it's the corner of the drywall, so the corner stud will be a little curved, so flip it over and place the pressure point on the flat part. from the wall because this would be much more forgiving for you and you will be much less likely to create a drift when you approach the edge. Well, again, you want to put texture on it and you want to have everything. that control zooms in to within a half inch or so of the corner just to texture the paint before it dries, there we go and then I'll zoom in on the props here and there, so we're for the purpose of our video. here today we are not going to paint the whole room, we are just doing a demonstration, in fact the owner of the house is here in the corner watching us do this, she is learning her tips and tricks, it is her job to paint the house, so just let's give her the demonstration let's go have a coffee now every time you're taking a break charge your brush okay put it in your can okay same thing with the roller if you load it up and fill it with moisture and go to Okay go and take a break, you might even want to take it off so you don't have an accident.

Okay, we'll be back in about 20 minutes. This paint will be dry enough to sand on. Second coat, I know it sounds really quick, but again it's a 100 percent acrylic paint. These things dry very quickly. You'll notice there's a little dark spot here where we filled in the holes with 45 minutes, but after this layer. is dry, that will be the end of the flashing, so we didn't have to apply primer. This is a super quick way to paint your house. Okay, so yeah, the first few coats dry take about 20 minutes. Now we are going to apply the second layer just before.

I start I want to tell you if it's new drywall or your approach to the painted wall it's the same process that's why I love this technique because you don't have to reinvent the wheel if it's new drywall the reason We stopped dead is because you want to have a layer of paint there to slide the brush over and have all that control to draw your line later and if it's a previously painted surface it doesn't change your technique, you don't have to reinvent. The wheel is fine, so here we go, ah,no pressure, draw a straight line, drop the heel in there, okay, paint from the inside and now you're going to push the bristles towards the ceiling and you're going to paint from inside the brush and I'm just going to just bristle brush against the ceiling as your guide, it's okay, go back and pick that up, here we go, so Max was telling me that his house, when he was painting, he painted near the ceiling and the corners started peeling.

I took off the drywall tape and I laughed and said what I guess around '82, he's like yeah, actually, like I said, well, it goes back to 1982, our leading drywall compounding company in the area that supplies most stores. a huge lot failed in mud and they didn't find out until about ten years later, so there are thousands of houses built in the early 80's that had all the paper tape removed from drywall with a little bit of moisture, like this that if you don't have air conditioning or if you suddenly decide to paint your whole house and you add all that humidity to the room, boop, all the tape falls off, what a mess, that's a very good reason to know how to do it. to install the wreath and you can see it in one of our wreath videos so now I have an imperfect ball on a new imperfect smooth edge but it's painted perfectly and it looks phenomenal so you'll find that with the second coat you just push lift the bristles and pull when you get good at this you can pull a really nice long section and at the same time you should be able to paint about three or four feet with a full brush and I'm finding that one touch is usually enough. getting the type of paint I want there, my biggest problem here is that I'm finding that there's a little bit of the old green showing up in a mess.

I'm going to touch up that smooth edge a little bit later and add some mud and cover that old paint and same thing here for those quarters make sure your brush is dry and the heel is on the right side just paint a big circle get it all out brush paint before you start painting your detail cut line around your accessories is well finished with nice big swirls so paint doesn't build up and bubble up, don't get those lines, the biggest enemy of the brush is using too much paint and then you leave the lines on the wall The funny thing is, I learned how to paint when I first moved to Ottawa, 15 years ago, and I thought I knew how to paint, so I went looking for a job and the guy said to me: do you know how to cut?

Listen, I know how to paint. I don't know if I can make you money, but I know how to paint. He says that's the most honest answer he's ever heard in my life, so he let me join the team in about After 15 minutes of watching this guy paint a wall, I realized he had no idea what he was doing. was doing, they put me on the roller and he would just start cutting and oh my god he was so fast with that brush it was just embarrassing. I couldn't roll the wall as fast as he could cut it and that became my job to catch up.

He was taking breaks and I was still rolling the room and it took me about three months to get fast enough with the roller to keep up with him, it took me about another five or six months probably before they let me touch a paintbrush. and remembering that I knew how to paint, yeah, if I had a dollar for everyone every time someone said I can paint, painting is Now it's as much about speed as it is about precision, if you're painting your house, speed really isn't your concern. , but at the same time you don't want to take all day to paint your house, so find a technique that works. really good for you in a short period of time is worth its weight in gold, okay, now that the second cut is over, it's time for the second roll.

Now remember on the second roll we have our paint here, which is dry in all the little patches that turn out. the primer sealer for those patches the technology in the paint is what we're going to rely on here so that our second coat doesn't have any more flashes we also don't need a lot of paint so where I used to use wide rollers now I'm going to go to three, like this So what this does is force my sleeve that's in the cage to actually put texture on the wall. I'm nowhere on this wall. I have too much paint and I can't get a good texture. a nice bristle that lifts the paint off the surface here now and that's where my texture will come from and then when you're done everyone follow the backward motion of the cage all the way to the beginning which will be a smooth sexy finish so when you're done , you want to remove the sleeve from the cage and this is the important thing: the cage, if it is placed on the roller, if you keep it like this at the bottom of the tray, your cage will eventually be filled with pain and you will not be able to get it out of there, It will affect this performance and even worse, it will develop a squealing noise around the ball bearings that will drive you crazy, so when you're done, grab the handle and that will separate the sleeve. from the cage it's nice and controlled and you don't have to cover yourself in paint, there you go, just leave it and you'll wash this off, okay here we go, they just left these to wait about 20 more minutes when this layer is dry, we'll come back, we'll cut the baseboard for you and we'll show you how to draw a beautiful line with trim paint without using masking tape, so the last step is to paint the molding on the baseboard now, oddly enough.

In this video I didn't show you when I'm painting my trim. My step process for a room is to paint the door and window frame first and paint the baseboard last and that's because it's easier to cut through the wall. against the window and door trim and then do the walls because here you want the trim to be last, for this reason my eyes have to see what I'm doing so I don't want to crawl under my brush trying to do this. I'm painting that wall, that's what I do: I'm going to place this on my wire around the same thing that we're going to paint from the inside of the brush and we're going to draw our line about 1/8 3/16 of an inch from the bottom of that molding. , don't pay attention to the floor, just draw a line with the brush on the edge of that molding and that's why we do it this way instead of trying to paint the entire piece. of the trim, gravity will have an effect on this paint and before it has a chance to dry, it will probably pull a little further down on the trim.

If you are standing looking at the molding, you will never see that it is simply painted. a little shy of that floor not in a million years, okay, so don't be too hard on yourself in judging your work when you're crawling across the floor, so let's do this, he'll place your brush, he'll place the bristles in that crack and pull painting that edge from inside the brush I start to see you run away come back and pull again that's it don't do it over and over again you'll end up creating a snowplow effect wash the heel go in and draw your line okay one pull and that's it, and the better you do it, the more brush you can put in contact with that space, the longer the stroke will be, the idea is to draw that line with the bristles, pull it and that's it, okay, then come. back to the middle and fill the rest of your base, okay, when you're doing with the outside corners, once you've done that there, go around the corner from the back and just pick up any drip edge now on this particular painting.

Customers who bought it find it to be extremely humid. I like my semi-gloss, a little bit thicker control, but at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what paint or what brush you're using, it's all about painting from the inside of the brush and then you can draw a line. no duct tape needed and you might be saying Oh Jeff, yeah, but you've been practicing for years. You have a firm hand like a surgeon's. I can't paint like this, ready for this, backwards, left-handed, not because I'm good, because of the technique. It works, put the bristles where they need to go, pull, it's all about the technique, not the painter, just to try it out.

I'll do the last one with a lot of movement in my hand, still in a straight line, because the bristles are not painting. It's from the inside of the brush, okay, if you don't believe me, try it yourself, you will be surprised that painting from the inside of the brush and not the outside will make anyone paint like a pro, okay, there's my system for painting like a professional, pull the tape well paint from the inside of the brush spend three dollars on a can when you're done pour the paint back into its original container and clean it so you're ready for next time, but this system allows you to get a perfect line from the start finally without tape remember when you record when you don't know what you have a problem until you remove the tape well you are supposed to be finished and then not to patch again and prime and start again for touch-ups, this system allows you to apply two coats in one room plus your trim, all in about two and a half to three hours, which includes removing and reinstalling all the tiles and doing all the touch-ups. fixes repairing your holes I tell you that you can do two rooms a day on the weekend you can paint most of your house in one weekend using this technique and you won't have to work too hard to do it right I hope this helps you if you have Any questions write in the comments section below.
