Roll Walls Like A PRO!

What happens here

To minimize lap marks and ensure even coverage, ensure the entire wall is 'smeared' or saturated with paint. Do not allow sections of paint to dry before applying the next. If the roller is dry, it will make a louder, hissing sound. Constantly load the roller to keep it saturated with paint. When laying out the paint, put it in the middle of a section, then roll it up and down. Visually inspect the wall for any missed spots or heavy areas. Use a lighter touch to smooth out heavy spots and prevent runs.

Goal: Achieve a smooth, uniform, and saturated paint finish

Tools and materials

just work just a small section and then I gotta load it up again keeping that paint wet not running my nap out of paint want to keep it saturated and continuing to work putting lots of paint on the wall this isn't the final coat this is just our first coat it's gonna take two coats to cover this wall so our wet edge is not as critical but if you don't keep a wet edge and put enough paint on the walls to get it to flow together it'll leave stripe and lap marks on the wall so you want to just keep loading your nap keeping the wall and nap saturated with paint the paint should never begin to run out of paint the NAP should and the NAP runs out of paint it'll actually start pulling it back off the wall so keep Bowden you can see how many time I'm loading this nap running down this wall keeping the nap saturated I'm keeping my paint edge wet and that's what keeping the wet edge is if you don't keep a wet edge and keep your edge you're failing edge completely saturated the paint won't flow together well gel out and you'll actually get lap marks or strike marks up and down your walls so it's important to keep a wet edge this Chris got a hole painter help a night TV today we're going to be painting a bedroom two of us so two professional painters Lucas and I and we're going to show you how to professional painters would paint a room like this quickly and efficiently you can do this in a day we've got sealians one color walls another color with an accent wall and then we're even gonna be doing a metallic finish from bolero coatings on this fat accent wall so Lucas and I Lucas have been painting for quite a few years I've got quite a few years experience painting to professionals painting a room quickly inefficiently so stay tuned for this video so here we go we're gonna get ready to paint this room first thing we walked into this room fortunately there is no furniture in here so we don't have to go cover anything with plastic we just came in here before we start bringing our tools in and stuff we rock drop cloths in just set drop cloths down it's a really good idea to just have drop cloths on everything if you can afford it so drop cloths cover the entire carpet we've got ceilings one color the very first thing you want to do is get your ceiling color on and particularly the cut ends we will be rolling the ceilings with a corner plus water because this roller has the roller microfibers that go all around the end of the roller so it makes doing the cuttings on there…
