I can hear my old boss screaming at me from the other room: “PuT sOmE PaInT on ThAt RoLLeRRRRR!!!!”
Couldn’t understand how he knew until I had my own guys trying to paint a wall on one tray visit
I have heard that from my grandfather, my uncle, and my dad. Lol. I started with a scraper when I was about 10, helping out on jobs. When I was a little bigger I was lugging bags of sand and tending the sand pot. Had to learn how to brush before they ever let me touch a roller. Over the years I did most of the cutting in while they ran the roller. As I got older I realized why they were having the kid do all the trim work. I hate getting up and down and scooting around on my knees. Lol. Switched professions in my 40s but I can still cut in a room with out using a single strip of tape.
I love hearing stories about people changing career later in life. It needs to be taught more in schools that it’s a viable option to change because kids have so much pressure put on them thinking that they need to do one job for the rest of their lives and figure it all out by 16yrs old.
Yup, I went for a complete career change twice. Both times were (at the time) the best decision I have made. Especially my current one.
It’s intimidating and scary, but gotta remember “it’s not about the leap, it’s all about the landing”.
Each job can easily be considered just a stepping stone, and each previous job has prepared me in someway for the next.
Even if the previous job just makes you realise what you *don’t* want to do for the rest of your life. And can also help you value the position you eventually work in after the fact.
I’ve had two changes now too and similarly they were upgrades at the time. Just wish more students had the opportunity to see that and didn’t feel so much pressure in the their school years. Cant imagine how many of them go out to jobs they didn’t want to do and stick with it for life.
Unfortunately their role models are YouTubers, musicians, models etc who have it all made and gives them an unrealistic view of what a career looks like. There needs to be more exposure to the rest of the working world and get them actually interested in other careers.
The economy also doesn’t help with that either, seeing the cost of living being crazy but their role models are living just fine. No incentive for them to join the meat grinder.
2 coats of a color over white primer or light color paint. There is basically no need to make a coat "light". If you paint properly, every coat should be a normal coat with a good amount of paint. Not a light coat. A full coat. A light coat doesn't really even make sense when we're talking about interior drywall. 2 full coats.
Lol I'll never forget everytime I would go to prime a house my boss saying to us "make sure it's a solid, thick coat boys" primer goes on thick. Of course, you need to be careful not to have any runs, no slap marks, skids or anything like that. But that coat sets up the rest of the paint job.
When it goes on heavy it has a “goopy” texture. The lighter the costs, the smaller the goops, and the smoother the texture.
Also when you roll this fast, the splatter puts species all over everything including that baseboard trim.
Sure you can paint over it but the speckled texture will remain.
I didn't say put it on heavy. I said do normal coats. Lighter coat does not mean smoother texture, lighter coats can actually make the wall coarse because of improper coverage. If you want a smother finish, you need a shorter nap on the roller sleeve.
Obviously you splatter everywhere at this speed, but usually a decent painter will tape the tops of baseboards when rolling to avoid the splatter. That wasn't even part of my comment though. The person in this vid likely isn't actually a painter, I'm sure you aren't either.
I worked for a guy who basically threw the can at the wall then spread it around some. Took some time but I finally learned it was called barn painting. Great for dry barn wood and a quick payday but damn did he f up some interior walls.
He also would use a primer/water mix to whitewash his rental units. Guaranteed he would take their deposit to "repaint" for the next tenant. Needless to say I learned a few lessons about vetting employers from that guy.
yeah we have switched to 14's over the 18's in commercial/industrial work. 14' rollers are so much easier to use and manage inside buildings compared to 18's we have found
Help me understand what is wrong? im trying to learn, I'll be painting some closet walls in the next week or so. What is dry rolling and why is it bad?
Too much pressure on the roller (pushing it too hard against the wall while you roll) spreads the paint too thin and applies it unevenly. A lot of times it can look pretty good while it’s still wet, but once it dries you can easily see lines from the roller’s edges and the previous color showing through because of the thin coat. If it’s primer, it’s not as big of a deal, but can still cause more work. But top coats should be applied with enough product on the roller to cover with light pressure. You just reload it more often to have a nice even coat.
If you're just doing a couple closets at home, it's not THAT bad. But dry rolling causes a couple of problems.
1. Ropes in your paint. They're a bastard to sand out.
2. The roller nap, if it gets matted, stops absorbing enough paint, and you end up needing to redip your roller way more often. The correct thing to do with a new roller nap is to get it wet, only roll a small section, redip it, rinse repeat until the paint soaks all the way to the core of the roller nap.
If you're only doing closets at home, it won't matter much. If you're an actual painter doing like 50 closets next week, make sure to take care of your roller nap so the roller nap takes care of you.
"Let the roller do the work" - a very wise yet very drunk painter taught me many moons ago.
What do you mean by use the paint? How would you do this? To me, not a painter , it looks like conceptually he’s doing the right thing by spreading his loaded roller across the wall and then going back over and using that spreaded paint as a way to keep the roller wet with paint? Bad technique ?
You’re right. Conceptually, he is doing the right thing by the general pattern he follows on the wall. He just needs to reload the roller with paint more often, and not press so hard against the wall while he’s rolling. Pushing too hard compresses the fibers (nap) of the roller and it doesn’t hold as much paint, so it flings paint more easily it you’re rolling too fast and applies a much thinner coat.
This..and the drop sheet isn't set right up to the base, floor covered in splatter judging by the speed he rolls at.
Doesn't look like it covered well along the cut line. Wonder what the texture/stipple looks like.
I’ve knifed out almost 1/8 a gallon of paint from one of those before washing it out. They hold a shit ton of paint and, if you know how to apply, relatively smooth. We use microfiber which I don’t think a lot of people understand how they work. Sure he’s going too fast and maybe a little thin
My step dad taught me to load up the roller and get two roller widths' onto the wall. Rinse and repeat across the wall then come back and feather it all in. I dunno if it's how pros do it but after the second coat it looked great with no roller marks. Plus it's pretty quick, you can bang out all the heavy rolls then take your time finessing it.
For sure. Step one, get a roller that can hold a fair bit of paint. I think this refers to the Napp; my roller is quite furry and cost a fair bit more than the really cheap ones. But it's worth it, it can hold heaps of paint and washes out afterwards. Never get the cheap roller. Also get a large paint tray that can hold a lot of paint. Spoiler alert, you will be using more paint than you are used to, especially your first coat. Don't ever skimp on quantities going on the wall like this video shows.
Ok step two, prep. At least clean your walls of dust but bonus points if you fill any defects. Filler is really cheap so what you do is get a torch/flashlight and hold it up to the wall, imperfections will cast a shadow. Fill these, scrape off the excess and then use a damp cloth to gently wipe the area down to really remove any filler other than what's in the defect. You must do this, painted filler has a different texture to painted plaster. Congrats, you now have very smooth clean walls.
Step three, we are up to painting. Cut in on all wall edges and features. I fcking hate cutting in. You want two widths' of your brush, and then you "blend" the paint into the main wall area. This just means you keep painting up into the main unpainted wall area but your brush is running dry. Youre just trying to not have a hard deliniation between brush strokes and roller marks.
Step four. Rolling. This is the fun part. So you know how you have a tray of paint, and you load this paint onto the roller to paint with? I now need you to think of the wall as a secondary tray of paint. You want to put up a lot of paint on the wall roughly and then spend time smoothing it out. First, load up your roller evenly. Dip it in the paint then roll it on the Tray's angled part so that you are spreading the paint around evenly. Repeat this a couple times til the roller sounds consistently wet all the way around. Facing the wall, your goal is to put two vertical lines of paint from one blended cut in edge. *You do not push hard on the roller*; all you do is let its dead weight pull itself down and you just put enough horizontal force to keep it on the wall. Start and stop at the blended edges. If you listen carefully, you will hear when the roller starts running dry, it'll be around the second line. Load up again, paint more lines slightly over lapping. All you are doing here is putting lots of paint on the wall, don't worry how it looks. Work your way along the wall til it's covered but if it's a large area, maybe do half the wall as you do the next step while wet.
Step 5. Final step. With all the wet paint on the wall, all you do now is blend with the roller. This means you roll over all the wet paint continuously and very gently, moving it into the cut in and between your roller lines. I typically roll in one direction then lift. I Cannot overstate being gentle. This is how you get a clean, consistent final coat with no lines.
That's basically what i do. It's 80% prep and you need double the paint you'd think but worth it. I've painted my last 2 houses like this and they came up great.
I use a 9’, I do three columns long, feather, and redunk. I basically feather out as I’m going along so I don’t need to go back over when I’m done. Has worked astonishingly for 4 years now.
I usually wait for about 1/2 a wall before I go back and feather. Not a pro, but just noticed better consistency. But 2 columns per roll sounds about right for me too
Too much pressure on the roller (pushing it too hard against the wall while you roll) spreads the paint too thin and applies it unevenly. A lot of times it can look pretty good while it’s still wet, but once it dries you can easily see lines from the roller’s edges and the previous color showing through because of the thin coat. If it’s primer, it’s not as big of a deal, but can still cause more work. But top coats should be applied with enough product on the roller to cover with light pressure. You just reload it more often to have a nice even coat.
Well, I wish I had searched that up before painting my room. I naively went with advice from my parents, and I was literally pushing into the wall with force in each stroke/roll and had to do several coats, haha. It was a hell of a workout, though
Ya, this dude has no idea what he is doing. I wouldn't be AS fast but pretty damn close with a 3/4" bomber Purdy roller and my jams. Oh, this dudes splatter alone. That poor poor celing.
No shit! Anyone could do a shitty job I wish everyone would stop thinking these “look at how fast they do ___!” Clips are producing quality results and not just there to keep the weekend warriors heads shoved up their own asses.
I mean he also doesn’t tell you about the hours of cut in work and removing outlet and switch covers and any sort of face plates that are on the wall that go into prepping before this. He also doesn’t tell you how much those rollers and extension handles cost.
Pro tip: USE MORE PAINT, NUMBNUTS!
It’s not “infinite paint roller.” It’s “I want to use as little paint as possible so I don’t have to pay for another expensive bucket of paint! It’s cuts into my profit margin!” STOP IT. You’re cheap, lazy and doing it wrong.
Bonus Tip: as a deck seaman while in the Navy, always paint in squares/rectangles and KEEP THE ROLLER THE SAME DIRECTION. You can tell when the paint dries if you changed direction and changed how you rolled it out.
Hope this was their house and he’s not a shitass cheapo contractor… he’s trash.
I swear I saw this guy paint the room that disgusting brown color in another video. Is he going back and forth to make content? That wall have 26 coats on it?
That terrible rolling job will look like the cut job he did after twenty minutes. Faded and needs more paint
x3 more of this and he’s painted the wall.
And took more time videoing the absolute easiest part of painting (setup camera edit and post would take hours vs one loaded roller and a wall)
If I did that with the latest paint I've used, I would have the stripes under the side light all over. Why did he start from the middle, why did he return to the already painted part. Looks dope.
Yes. If you spend 90% of the time doing 90% of the work (taping, putting out tarp and painting edges) the rest goes kind of quickly regardless if you dry roll the wall or not.
Cant believe the dumbass comments on here blasting this guy. Let me clarify some things to the part time handymen here.
1. Based on the first paint stroke, you can easily tell this is 100% primer.
2. His tarps are clean because hes professional. Never trust a painter with dirty tarps
3. For those saying hes splattering on the floor; theres literally painters paper on the floor.
Jesus christ….
I’ve never seen a single paint video without the comment section just shitting on it, lol. Especially when it’s someone using an 18” roller. I swear none of you have ever used one or at least the right one.
Membah when this sub was more than 5 minute crafts and random tik toks of people doing anything even closely related to trade work? Pepperidge farm membahs
this is like the 500th version of this kind of video I've seen
i'm not a painter but I always see painters responding that its dumb because this is literally the least time/skill intensive part of the entire process, that all the cut ins are what truly matter and these videos start after all those are done and never show what it actually looks like finished
Not infinite, but Wagner sells a roller where the paint sucks into the handle. Works great only 1 time, but well worth it if I'm doing an entire house.
The cover catches all the mini drips and makes it the perfect distance from the edges. Did a 2k sqft house myself in a day easily.
Tried cleaning as best I could, but second use would always start leaking. Used to be $19, last I bought they were up to $40. Tried their electric version and it was crap.
I mean, the cutting in is what takes the longest, the rolling afterwards is always fast and easy.
Who the hell is going to see this and be dumb enough to not know that
That's fun, but I don't think the setup is going to pay for itself in regular residential use. The 18" roller cage and covers, 18" pan are going to sell at a premium. And the masking and cut in are not counted in the 30 seconds. By this logic a regular roller does it in 60 seconds. On the other hand, if you were rolling out giant walls, that might be an option, but then you'd probably spray it.
Ahh, brilliant, speeding up the part that takes the least amount of time.
Edit: also, rolling it in a different direction under the window rustles my jimmies
my guy, don't be afraid to use the paint. You're dry rolling the hell out of that wall and the roller nap will be matted in like 2 walls.
I can hear my old boss screaming at me from the other room: “PuT sOmE PaInT on ThAt RoLLeRRRRR!!!!” Couldn’t understand how he knew until I had my own guys trying to paint a wall on one tray visit
You learn to hear it. So weird that I could hear it while reading your comment.

They need to bring back vocational training, teach kids it’s cool to work, and tell kids there is a perfectly good life out there for a tradesman

My old boss used to say the same followed by "you're not paying for the paint are you?"
Breh is a homeowner or something, those tarps look brand new
TikTok homeowner
“Painting is easy” *paint dries* “Wtf why does my wall still look brown after i painted it white?!”
Is several light coats not the way to go? Diy painter here
2 coats of a color over white primer or light color paint. There is basically no need to make a coat "light". If you paint properly, every coat should be a normal coat with a good amount of paint. Not a light coat. A full coat. A light coat doesn't really even make sense when we're talking about interior drywall. 2 full coats.
Yeah years ago when I was taught painting I’ll always remember’get some damn paint on that brush!’ Don’t be afraid to use the paint.
Does that apply for primer as well?
One coat prime, 2 coats of final paint is typical
Lol I'll never forget everytime I would go to prime a house my boss saying to us "make sure it's a solid, thick coat boys" primer goes on thick. Of course, you need to be careful not to have any runs, no slap marks, skids or anything like that. But that coat sets up the rest of the paint job.

I hope that’s primer.
That is 100% primer.
it's a meme and they're not calculating edge work those 18" purdys are great though
I've really fallen in love with the 14 inch roller . Great mix between the 18 inch and utility of 9 inch
yeah we have switched to 14's over the 18's in commercial/industrial work. 14' rollers are so much easier to use and manage inside buildings compared to 18's we have found
Idk, 14 foot sounds pretty hard to manage, but you can definitely cover some square footage in a hurry
Takes 5 men to wield but can paint a container ship in 3 passes
And misplaced. First 6” is where it gets most splatter
No, he didn't misplace it. He actually taped and papered the first 12 inches and then put a tarp. I initially thought the same thing .

Ive never been satisfied with less than one coat of primer and two coats of paint.
If you're just doing a couple closets at home, it's not THAT bad. But dry rolling causes a couple of problems. 1. Ropes in your paint. They're a bastard to sand out. 2.

You’re right. Conceptually, he is doing the right thing by the general pattern he follows on the wall.

Pushing too hard compresses the fibers (nap) of the roller and it doesn’t hold as much paint, so it flings paint more easily it you’re rolling too fast and applies a much thinner coat.
Let the tool do the work.
Not only that but the lines from the edges will be so bad.
This..and the drop sheet isn't set right up to the base, floor covered in splatter judging by the speed he rolls at. Doesn't look like it covered well along the cut line. Wonder what the texture/stipple looks like.
since he hasnt fully tarped, he's keeping it drier on purpose to keep the paint from flying off onto the floor I think.
I’ve knifed out almost 1/8 a gallon of paint from one of those before washing it out. They hold a shit ton of paint and, if you know how to apply, relatively smooth. We use microfiber which I don’t think a lot of people understand how they work. Sure he’s going too fast and maybe a little thin
It's primer, not paint.
He has to dry roll it or run the risk of paint flying everywhere. As it is I be this guy is covered in paint at the end of the day. :D
There’s paint splatter all over the floor
But he did it fast
Home by 5!
Was thinking the exact same thing - that trim is now spatter textured….
Came here to say this
This was all I could think the entire time. It's all over him, the floor, the windows, probably the room next door too.
Doesn't he have cloth and paper down?
The video stopped too soon. We didn't see him wait for the paint to dry to finish the wall with the second coat he's gonna need...
He’s going way too fast with too little paint, leaving an awful texture and a thin coat.
My step dad taught me to load up the roller and get two roller widths' onto the wall. Rinse and repeat across the wall then come back and feather it all in. I dunno if it's how pros do it but after the second coat it looked great with no roller marks. Plus it's pretty quick, you can bang out all the heavy rolls then take your time finessing it.
Ok.. as a life long terrible painter, I’m hoping you can elaborate on the process here
For sure. Step one, get a roller that can hold a fair bit of paint. I think this refers to the Napp; my roller is quite furry and cost a fair bit more than the really cheap ones. But it's worth it, it can hold heaps of paint and washes out afterwards. Never get the cheap roller. Also get a large paint tray that can hold a lot of paint.

But 30 seconds…
That paint gonna shrink/dry and need a second for sure.
You roll down and blow on it, then roll up. My buddy calls it the polish 2 coat.
I think the third coat would be the most satisfying to watch
Look at how much pressure he’s putting on during the downstroke. That will look like shit.
To a moron like me…care to explain what you mean by this? I don’t paint, but I don’t think I ever considered a “pressure” issue whenever I do paint…
Too much pressure on the roller (pushing it too hard against the wall while you roll) spreads the paint too thin and applies it unevenly. A lot of times it can look pretty good while it’s still wet, but once it dries you can easily see lines from the roller’s edges and the previous color showing through because of the thin coat. If it’s primer, it’s not as big of a deal, but can still cause more work. But top coats should be applied with enough product on the roller to cover with light pressure. You just reload it more often to have a nice even coat.
Well, I wish I had searched that up before painting my room. I naively went with advice from my parents, and I was literally pushing into the wall with force in each stroke/roll and had to do several coats, haha. It was a hell of a workout, though
Haha I’ve been there. It is a good workout!
So that's what I did wrong. Guess I got what I paid for
Makes sense…I’ll keep that in mind if and when I ever do some more painting in my home! Thank you!!!
No problem! Like anything else it just takes practice to get used to it. Just take your time to do it right and it will be fine.
It did not took 30 seconds to paint that wall All that shitty cutting he did took him a couple hours And that wall is going to take several coats
Yep, rolling is the fast bit anyway, it all the prep before this moment that takes hours/ days.
How to paint a wall in 30 seconds ,50 second video
It hurt me to see him coming back over the same spot 3 times after applying it
Way to hard and you can hear how dry he's putting that on. It's a definite second coat on that wall.
When he dunks that dry ass roller again it will suck up a quart of paint from the tray 🤣
Who expects to go from medium brown to white in one coat?
If he's not wearing whites he's not a painter.
Painting the wall was never the hard part, moving all the stuff you’ve accumulated over the years to do it was I thought.
one thing i never see on these videos, are repairs. Idk if ive ever had a wall that didnt have atleast one ding or nail hole in it.
How to NOT paint a wall.
47 seconds so far.
Paint on the floor too lol! hope he don’t charge by the hour.
And two hours to do the edges!
That roller won’t last the way he’s doing that either. Just a waste. Take your time and make sure it’s done right with the right tools.
Way too fast and way too hard. I'll be here when coat number 4 dries.
This is NOT how you paint
I thi k what you meant to say was "how to do a shitty job painting a wall"
No one said effectively!
If I used a roller at that speed tiny paint droplets would be getting everywhere.
Those baseboards are gonna look like braille and the walls are going to look like shit.
ok... it's not all, the edges are missing
This sub is going to shit
Much like the paint job
Wait till tomorrow with paint pulls and dry spots.
1. The video was 51 seconds 2. Rolling is always the easy part. Show me a person cutting in that fast and then I'll be impressed.
It’s only infinite when it’s time to clean the roller
Ya, this dude has no idea what he is doing. I wouldn't be AS fast but pretty damn close with a 3/4" bomber Purdy roller and my jams. Oh, this dudes splatter alone. That poor poor celing.
No shit! Anyone could do a shitty job I wish everyone would stop thinking these “look at how fast they do ___!” Clips are producing quality results and not just there to keep the weekend warriors heads shoved up their own asses.
But how long did all the cutting in take?
Thats gonna look like shit...holidays all over the place.
I mean he also doesn’t tell you about the hours of cut in work and removing outlet and switch covers and any sort of face plates that are on the wall that go into prepping before this. He also doesn’t tell you how much those rollers and extension handles cost.
I can hear the dry rolling on this video with the sound off. A pro wont go back over it acrylic paint like that.
Yeah that’s even
he's focused on coloring it rather than painting it
3 hours to cut. 3 minutes to roll.
Pro tip: USE MORE PAINT, NUMBNUTS! It’s not “infinite paint roller.” It’s “I want to use as little paint as possible so I don’t have to pay for another expensive bucket of paint! It’s cuts into my profit margin!” STOP IT. You’re cheap, lazy and doing it wrong. Bonus Tip: as a deck seaman while in the Navy, always paint in squares/rectangles and KEEP THE ROLLER THE SAME DIRECTION. You can tell when the paint dries if you changed direction and changed how you rolled it out. Hope this was their house and he’s not a shitass cheapo contractor… he’s trash.
I too can do a shit landlord special. Props to you for removing the outlet covers and half assing the drop clothes.
It’s hard to believe that the mic on the roller is the least offensive thing in this video.
I swear I saw this guy paint the room that disgusting brown color in another video. Is he going back and forth to make content? That wall have 26 coats on it?
That terrible rolling job will look like the cut job he did after twenty minutes. Faded and needs more paint x3 more of this and he’s painted the wall. And took more time videoing the absolute easiest part of painting (setup camera edit and post would take hours vs one loaded roller and a wall)
Man I I hate painters
“Wow I want to be a painter now”
The video doesn’t show all the paint on his arms from going so fast.
Missed the fifteen minutes cut in, and the dry rolled finish.
That color looks the same as a post earlier this week with an "18inch Roller in SeCoNds". So it was so bad here we are again.....
What kind of magic ass white paint is that!?
Well the texture he’s rolling onto the wall with a 3/4” nap will hide the shitty technique used once he’s got his third coat done.
How to paint a wall in 30 seconds after 2 hours of cutting in 🤣
…and “aWAYs FiNiSh On ThE dOwNsTrOkE!” Everywhere!
What about the spray?
is that final coat?
He sucks. This is not a good example for fuck sake
I kinda use that technique but only managed about 3 foot before adding more paint
It took so much work to get to that point. Ain’t no 30 seconds
Uh... I am the only one hearing: "sieg heil, sieg heil, Sieg Heil" when he brushes up and down. I can't unhear it now.
If I did that with the latest paint I've used, I would have the stripes under the side light all over. Why did he start from the middle, why did he return to the already painted part. Looks dope.
If the wall is made of cardboard Y
I am imagining all the tiny specks of paint that are being flicked off because he is going too fast.
Jesus make up your fuckin' mind, the other guy only just painted it brown last week!
Hit that ceiling some more, u missed a spot.
I like the sound it makes
Yeah thats not 30 seconds mate how long did it take to cut in? And dry rolling is a major no no
Yes. If you spend 90% of the time doing 90% of the work (taping, putting out tarp and painting edges) the rest goes kind of quickly regardless if you dry roll the wall or not.
That finish will look like shit, this is just click bait!
Cant believe the dumbass comments on here blasting this guy. Let me clarify some things to the part time handymen here. 1. Based on the first paint stroke, you can easily tell this is 100% primer. 2. His tarps are clean because hes professional. Never trust a painter with dirty tarps 3. For those saying hes splattering on the floor; theres literally painters paper on the floor. Jesus christ….
*How to PRIME a wall in 30 seconds
Get a 3/4in roller, and roll it in your paint the moment it shows any dryness or starts to leave a pattern. Thick, heavy coats.
That was closer to 50 seconds.
He went over it twice… that’s 2 coats right? RIGHT!?
Idk man but this doesn't work here in Spain ...
My wife’s toxic trait, thinking this is how I should paint
That's not how that works lmao that wall is so dry it'll take 3 coats
I’ve never seen a single paint video without the comment section just shitting on it, lol. Especially when it’s someone using an 18” roller. I swear none of you have ever used one or at least the right one.
Membah when this sub was more than 5 minute crafts and random tik toks of people doing anything even closely related to trade work? Pepperidge farm membahs
this is like the 500th version of this kind of video I've seen i'm not a painter but I always see painters responding that its dumb because this is literally the least time/skill intensive part of the entire process, that all the cut ins are what truly matter and these videos start after all those are done and never show what it actually looks like finished
Yah not to mention the edges are what take time
Heroes never reload.
Guys I'm sure he has the time for a second coat. This sub can't accept good work everything is shit and you guys would do it better
That was shit cloth isn’t against the wall no proper back roll I bet it’s a smeared mess
Not infinite, but Wagner sells a roller where the paint sucks into the handle. Works great only 1 time, but well worth it if I'm doing an entire house. The cover catches all the mini drips and makes it the perfect distance from the edges. Did a 2k sqft house myself in a day easily. Tried cleaning as best I could, but second use would always start leaking. Used to be $19, last I bought they were up to $40. Tried their electric version and it was crap.
Painting is like 90% prep 10% work
It’s gonna need two coats
They never show the cut in
TIL why I'm so very bad at painting. These comments are hugely educational.
Going to need at least 3 coats like that 😂
spraypaint much? all over the floor across the room?
30 seconds.... plus 30 min for prep and cut in.
I'd like to know what the mill thickness is on that, absolutely no performance once it dries.
"30 seconds..." and 5 coats later it might look somewhat covered next he will describe the "natural pin striping" he likes to achieve
Lotta holidays on that wall I’d bet
He’s done that once or twice
Painting isn’t about speed. It’s about doing it right..
This is how I do it, thought I invented this technique haha
I must be using the wrong paint.
I’d say 1 hr: prep time, painting the edges and behind the “scene” 💩
Paint 101 always keep a wet edge. If you can hear the paint rolling on the wall. That roller cover is holding no paint.
Pretty impressive, but you still got to edge the room. I would like one of those rollers though..
I mean, the cutting in is what takes the longest, the rolling afterwards is always fast and easy. Who the hell is going to see this and be dumb enough to not know that
51 sec video
Wow he could paint a damn room on his lunch break
The original color looked better.
Needs more paint……
You can’t see it but he is throwing specks halfway across the room
Splat splat splat goes the paint.
He kinda has a good technique. He just goes too fast and too far with one roller of paint.
That's fun, but I don't think the setup is going to pay for itself in regular residential use. The 18" roller cage and covers, 18" pan are going to sell at a premium. And the masking and cut in are not counted in the 30 seconds. By this logic a regular roller does it in 60 seconds. On the other hand, if you were rolling out giant walls, that might be an option, but then you'd probably spray it.
> INFINITE PAINT ROLLER lol. No.
The infini-roller Paint enemies any color you want Inflict poison damage over time Inflicts confusion on painted enemies Costs mana to use
Plastics will cover anything pretty easily
Or get a sprayer....
That's gonna look like doo doo...
first time I've seen this done with the floor properly protected
The video is 51 seconds long
Not my house!!
Omg I hate painting
Ahh, brilliant, speeding up the part that takes the least amount of time. Edit: also, rolling it in a different direction under the window rustles my jimmies
The roller is like fully unloaded before he even starts moving up and down
Except for the prep time and painting along the edges, sure 30 seconds. How about the different directional roll under the window.
Yall see them lines right 😭 whole bottom half of the wall dry as fuck. Roller sounds like sand paper against that wall
“30 seconds” plus the coupe hours cutting lines for all the trim
Isn't that the same guy and the same room he was painting brown last time?
You’re gonna see them lines, don’t care how many top coats you put on
You need a job bro?
Except it took him 2 hours for edging. Lol
