Painting an Accent Wall Quickly. Paint Different Wall Colors.

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The video begins with the presenter introducing the project: painting an accent wall. The area has already been prepped for painting, with 9-inch paper and painter's tape laid down along the baseboards to protect the carpet. The presenter then demonstrates how they applied a lighter paint color, specifically Duration Home from Sherwin Williams (SW 6754 Warm White), overlapping the edge where the accent wall will meet the other wall by approximately 1/8 inch. This initial coat is applied using a paint brush and is allowed to dry for 1 to 2 hours before proceeding.

Goal: Protect surrounding surfaces and establish the lighter color boundary.

Tools and materials

  • Paint Brush — Applying the initial overlapping coat of paint
  • 9-inch Paper — Protecting the carpet from paint

This is Chris Seattle painter. In this video, we're going to demonstrate how we went about in prepping this this area to get ready to paint an accent wall. And we got here and this wall is going to be an accent color. It's going to be a darker color. And then we have another miter color surrounding both edges of the accent wall. And as soon as we got here, we laid down some 9-in paper and tape to protect our carpet. And then I took quickly We want to have you got an overlapping color right here. We got one color here and then we got our accent color here. So I took our lighter color and I painted it right here. So it so it just over overlapped about an eighth of an inch and I painted it on there with just a brush. And then that overlapping color is going to take about an hour to two hours to dry. We're about 2 hours into it. And now we can mask on to this
