What happens here

Once prepping is complete, painting can begin. When painting ceilings and walls the same color, start by cutting in the edges of the ceilings where they meet the walls. The video demonstrates using a specialized corner roller for this, which can provide a cleaner, faster alternative to a brush. Immediately after cutting in, roll the ceilings, then move to the walls, always maintaining a 'wet edge' to avoid lap marks. The Graco Power Roller is highlighted for its efficiency, especially on high or vaulted ceilings, as it continuously feeds paint to the roller, eliminating constant dipping and ladder work. Assess the paint's coverage (high-end paints often cover well in one coat) to decide if a second coat is necessary. If two coats are required, apply a lighter first coat.

Goal: Begin painting by cutting in ceiling edges with a corner roller, then rolling the ceilings and walls. For efficiency, especially on high ceilings, a power roller is recommended. Evaluate the paint's coverage to determine if one or two coats are needed.

heavy coat the first time or is it lighter? It It kind of depends. You You just got to put it on and kind of see how it looks. Um, in this situation, it's probably going to be one uh one coat just because of the color difference. It's not that big of a color difference. Um, but normally you would need to look and make sure that it's not going to be two coats and uh and that way it looks good. Yep. So, we were using a very high-end paint which covers very very well. So, you grabbed a roller, you started doing some some of the cutins, and you were using a special roller doing the cutins. What kind of roller is that, Z? I was using the corner roller. Yep. So, we're using a corner press corner plus roller. And that way, we don't have to use a brush. And we'll show it here in this video at some point in time. And you're running around. But while you're doing that, you're determining whether it was going to cover in one coat or not. And because of a very slight color difference, we know it's going to cover in one coat. So, we don't have to do what we would call skim coating. If this if you determined that it was going to be, you know, two coats to do it, what we would do is begin rolling on just a light coat on as your first coat. And you got to kind of work with the guys that are masking and stay in the same area as they're masking. But
