Hand Brushing Trim To Get Sprayed Results | Brush & Rolling Tips

so today I'm applying the first coated of paint on our Wayne's coating beadboard WS coating and chair rail here and you know there's many options to apply it you know from typically All trim we would be spraying All trim for this project it's just a really small project the amount of masking cleaning up of a sprayer the dust that the sprayer is going to create you'll it'll take just more work versus just brushing and rolling it now if you get a good quality paint you know you could get um have really good R results you're brushing and rolling it and using a good quality paint and using a high quality uh paint brush and roller so I'm just today just applying it you know with a brush and roller just going to be a lot faster U more efficient I'm taking applying it with a microfiber roller to get it on faster and then I'm laying it out with a premier Hampton it's a all Dupont nylon filament brush so it's lays out the paint really nice um less likely to leave roping so um it's DuPont's version of nylon they came up with is tyx so anytime I'm painting trim I use premier's Hampton LS it out super nice the paint we're using today is a bare Dynasty and brushes really well uh dries pretty fast so definitely got to you don't want to work you'll overwork it apply it on get it on quickly brush laid out move on if you have any any runs or anything you can come back and sand them don't try to brush them out if it's if it um already is starting to dry once it starts to dry and coagulate you'll really rope it really bad so just get it on move quickly I like to get it on if you get it on with a roller first um it gets it on faster then you can lay it out with your brush the tools tools you're using are what's going to really help you have success so I'm and I'm getting it up here underneath brushing it if you're using a product that has a tendency to run if all your layout is in an upward motion it's less likely to run you're pulling the paint up instead of pushing it down right here where you've got to push it down to get underneath there that's where you're more than likely to have run so you want to check that you'll come back before it starts to dry if you start to have a run you know brush it out they start to drive there so one of the secrets to getting rid of runs without without without sand in it is just used denatured alcohol so once this first coat dries if I have any runs anywhere can just rub it out with the nature alcohol without sanding it and then repaint right over it this is a um vinyl bbard so it's a paintable vinyl really smooth so it's not going to absorb paint so um it's more likely to run than a prime wood which would actually absorb the paint itself on the baseboard I'm going to be going baseboard trailing chair railing I'm going to be going you know with the grain of the wood on the beadboard it's up and down I don't want to brush it Crossways anywhere it's all up and down if you get anything in the paint you want to get it out look there's a little hair but what I see you know most frustration especially with do it-yourself where that don't have a lot of experience brushing and rolling trim is they'll continue to work it I got it on laid it out move off move on so if you try to go back if I see something over here I miss or I see it run you know even like right down in here it's already starting to dry and skim over on the top and what I call starting to coagulate it's really going to what we call rope it and I when I say roping it's really going to leave brush Strokes really bad and the roping kind of refers to the ups and downs just looks like ropes all over your trim or whatever your um painting and this being a smooth and not a textured surface you know roping would show up you know really bad so one of the reasons why you you'd want to strain your paint just like that getting debris in the paint um I didn't strain my paints and um I didn't strain my paint this time uh but the bucket has a lot of loose debris in it that's getting mixed in the paint so if you're doing something you know really critical you know you don't want to have to sand anything out you'll use a good a new bucket down here I masked you know with frog tape tucked my frog tape underneath the trim so when I pull when I pull the tape up the carpet's going to lift up and cover the bottom lip of the trim there when I'm laying putting my paint on with my roller I don't want to go too far you know ahead I'm only doing you a couple um your 4 in beads at a time for a pure white it's covering incred incredibly well usually whites without tint in them don't cover well at all definitely going to be two coats once I get the first coat on there's some things I've got a Bondo a seam Bondo um some things I've seen here the we'll sand that and do our next
