What happens here

Using a small roller and a high-quality paint, apply an even coat of paint to every other square within the masked grid. The video specifically uses Behr Dynasty paint, a premium product known for its excellent coverage, often achieving full color in a single coat, especially with lighter colors. For areas close to the main wall or corners that are difficult to reach with a roller, a paintbrush can be used to carefully cut in the edges. Ensure all pencil marks within the painted squares are fully covered.

Goal: Apply paint to alternating squares to create the checkered pattern.

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]
