Select Proper Tools and Paint Preparation

middle of the wall another thing I want to talk about is using the proper tools when it comes to doing touchups now one thing you don't want to do unless you're rolling entire walls if you have the original paints um you have the original um color and Sheen it's a lot faster if I've got multiple touch-ups all over these walls just to roll roll the whole wall That's typically what I'm doing when I go into a job where somebody just wants touchup I'm not just going to try to touch up in the middle of the wall cuz that's extremely extremely difficult I'm just going to re roll the whole wall I only got to get this close to the ceiling I only got to get this close to any type of trim baseboards uh typically if you're using a good quality roller um you're not going to get any stippling I'm not trying to move super fast I can roll a whole entire wall without masking the baseboards and um without masking the ceiling or doing any type of masking when I'm doing touch-ups the middle of the wall I like to use a Premier Hampton brush this is 100% highx nylon brush it's a d pum filament brush they're extremely soft filaments and I only use this type of brush doing touchups I like a 2in angled sash brush um for doing touchups or even smaller but this is my touch-up brush right here you've only got this this wall this house has been painted one time the walls typically don't have a lot of paint on them and a lot of time um if it's say like an eggshell Sheen or a satin Sheen it's extremely dry when you go do a touchup you're building up more paint over the top of that wall and what you're going to do is create a nice shiny spot cuz you're building the sheen up on that wall so it's kind of a really difficult scenario so you don't want to just roll a heavy coat of paint on there if I got a gallon of paint I'm going to pour off some paint into a touchup bucket or a little Pine c um cup and I'm I'm going to put some water in that paint and I'm going to water that paint down a little bit I'm going to water it down probably about around 5% and what that does is that helps cut down the Sheen and cut down from building up you know sheen on top of Sheen when you're doing touchups so you will have more success doing touch-ups in the middle of the wall if the walls have been um painted multiple times because they're not going to be what we consider dry they're going to have a nice even Sheen and you're less likely to get sheen on buildup on those spots where you're doing touch-ups but…
