HOW TO ROLL A WALL Tips painting walls with a roller. How to paint a room.

In this video, we're showing you a second technique how to roll an interior wall. This interior wall has already got the first coat on it. I just went and did the ceiling cutins and I just did the cutins along the baseboards. And you want to do those first before you roll the wall because if you do them second, it could leave a stripe, which we call haloing. Um, and so by rolling the wall, it's going to go over that and it's going to lay out the paint in the same direction on the entire wall. And so I'm using a 39 inch nap, a white dove nap, and it's a 3/8 inch nap with an extension pole. Extension pull makes it a lot easier to reach into your pan. We also use pan liners. These are plastic liners or throwaway liners that you can just throw in the pan. When you're done at the end of the day, you can just throw the the liner out. And I'm going to load up my nap to lay out this wall. And I'm going to put the nap in the middle of the wall. I'm going roll it down, not all the way. And then roll it back up. Down. Now I'm going to spread the paint out up and down. Then I'm going to lay it out all the way down. Load up my nap again. Put the nap in the middle of the wall. Go down, up, down. And I'm going to lay out my wall every time in the downward motion. So, I'm going to spread out my paint and then lay it out down. I'm always going to lay it down in that direction cuz if you're using really really dark colors, if you lay it out up and then down a a different section, you'll actually see a different color in the paint cuz it actually lays a tins out. So up, down, down again. A little bit wider now to the top and then lay it out. This is a lighter color, so it's actually a little bit more forgiving when it comes to the your layout. In the middle, you're going to go down, up, all the way down, up, and then lay it out. Load up and out. Twist it. down, up, lay it out, all the way top, bottom. Now lay it out. It's a good um technique to actually when you're after you load up your nap to actually get in a good habit of actually turning it in this direction. If you actually turn it, it's not going to drip paint. You can sit here and hold it over the carpet. It'll never drip. You can see I've used 9 in paper and 1 in tape to actually put along my baseboards. to in case I get any drips that keeps paint off the carpet. Final layout is down. Load up my app. Put it in the middle about halfway. Back up. All the way down. It's another technique how to lay out a wall. In this task, we were using a pretty 4 in um white dove nap, which is a 3/8 inch nap. I've got a pretty um 2 and 1/2 in angled sash brush, nylon polyester brush. We've got a pretty 9in nap and roller with a pan that is a 3/8 inch roller, too. And inside the pan, we use um these throwaway tray liners that so we don't get paint on our pan. And that's another good um item to have so you don't have to clean out your pans at the end of the day. And um to start off, we've actually rolled one coat on this wall already, and I'm going to be rolling a second coat. But prior to doing the second coat, we do our ceiling cut in, bottom cutins, and then we roll the wall. So, I'm going to come along here and do my cut ends real fast. And then I'm going to roll the wall after I do the cut ends. That way, we won't see the this line on the cut ends cuz the nap going this way actually stipples the paint going this way. So, I just did the ceiling cutins a few minutes ago. Now I'm going to be doing baseboard cutins and wall cutins. And I always roll around the light switches and light plates prior to rolling the wall. So now I did the bottom cut ends. And if you do the cut ends after you've rolled the wall, it could, if the color is too dark, it could actually what we call haloing and leave a stripe across
