What happens here

Once the masking tape is securely in place, it's time to paint the exposed squares. The presenter uses Behr Dynasty paint, which is a high-quality product often recommended for its one-coat coverage. For applying paint to the larger areas of each square, use a small paint roller for efficiency and even coverage. For the edges where the squares meet the masking tape, or for areas close to the ceiling, baseboards, or corners of the room, use a paint brush to 'cut in' precisely. This two-tool approach ensures neat, clean lines and full coverage within the masked areas.

Goal: Apply paint to the exposed squares to create the desired checkerboard effect.

so I'm working painting these squares here just to give you you know a little tip little advice just you know depending on the color of your squares are you know i' highly recommend using a really high-end paint you'll um try to get a one coat color that will cover in one coat so you don't have to go back and redo your squares so this product I'm using here this is bare Dynasty covers extremely well and it's covering in one coat it's a light color too so um more likely to cover in one coat over a lighter color like this if you're doing really dark squares you'll um you'll some paint have one coat colors like bear has a one coat P palette that's guaranteed to cover in one coat so if you're doing squares like this I definitely would highly recommend using you know something like that so you don't have to go back and you'll repaint your squares again it's nice just one coat uh when you're done with your first coat just peel off all your masking [Music]
