Apply Primer to Flat Panels with a Roller

work compared to just brushing and rolling it. If you get a good quality paint, you know? You can get very good results. You're brushing and rolling it and using a good quality paint and a high quality brush and roller. So I 'm just applying it today, you know? Using a brush and roller will be much faster and more efficient. I'm applying it with a microfiber roller. I'm applying it with a roller to speed things up, and then I'm spreading it with a Hampton Premier. It's a dupon nylon filament brush, so it spreads the paint. Very good. Less likely to leave marks. So it's the nylon version of DuPont. Timex came up with it, so every time I paint moldings I use Premier Hampton. So it spreads very well, the paint we 're using today is Vera Dynasty and it brushes on very well. It dries quickly, so you definitely have to work with it. You don't want to overwork it, apply it, put it on quickly, brush it on, spread it, move around. If you have any runs or anything, you can go back and sand them. Don't try to brush them. If it's already starting to dry, once it starts to dry and coagulate, you'll really mark it a lot. So just apply it, move fast. That's why I like to apply it. If you apply it first with a roller, it applies faster. Then you can spread it with your brush. The tools you use are what will really help you succeed. So I'm brushing it up here underneath. If you use a product that tends to run, and your entire line is in an upward motion, it is less likely to run because the paint is moving upwards. Instead of pushing it down, right here where you have to push it down to get it underneath, that's where you're most likely to have a run. So you want to check that, you'll be back. Before it starts to dry. If you start having a run, you know? Brush it. They start to dry there. So one of the secrets to removing runs without sanding is simply to use denatured alcohol. So once this first coat dries, if I have any runs anywhere, you can simply rub it with denatured alcohol and then repaint right on top. This is a vinyl panel, so it's paintable vinyl, very smooth, so it's not going to absorb paint, so it 's more likely to run than primed wood, which would actually absorb the paint.
