What happens here

The presenter begins applying the gray base coat to a previously purple wall using the interfed roller. He demonstrates the continuous application without needing to dip the roller. He moves the roller in a controlled manner, squeezing the trigger as needed to release paint. He highlights the reduced fatigue and increased speed compared to traditional rolling methods, especially when painting large areas. He explains that he is applying a base coat for a metallic finish and is testing the roller's performance before doing detailed cut-ins. He advises against excessive paint release at the bottom or top of the wall to prevent runs.

Goal: Demonstrate the efficient application of a base coat using the interfed roller.

thing to the test so one of the really cool things about this inner fed roller is is i don't have to dip my roller in a pan of paint i don't have to refill a pan of paint i don't have to dip it in a pan of paint all i got to do is just squeeze the trigger every now and then and it's going to release paint now if i do need to lay out a wall this is just going to be a base coat for a metallic finish but if i need to do my layout now i'm just going to go back lay it out without releasing paint right now but this makes rolling walls significantly less tiring less fatigue you're not going to just be exhausted and hot and sweaty you could see some holes i didn't get patched couldn't see them because the wall was dark and purple but i'm just cruising right along just releasing pain i could actually put on more paint with this inner fed roller than i can dipping and rolling too and some people would say you'll or ask the question you know does it come in an 18 inch or 14 inch well since i don't have to dip my roller at all whether it's 18 inch or 14 inch if it's bigger it really doesn't matter so it only does come in a nine inch but you can see even with a nine inch this is gonna be significantly faster now i did have somebody challenge me you know years ago saying they could paint faster with an 18-inch roller and dipping in a bucket and and that was for about 10 minutes and we were about the same he was a tiny bit faster but he was all sweaty and super tired from rolling and you can see i can sit here talk have a conversation roll this wall completely effortless so if i'm rolling all day long i'm gonna not be nearly as tired but doing this entire building i'm going literally gonna be about three to four times faster on the large project painting so it's just squeezing the trigger you can just keep an eye on how much paint you're putting out want those walls nice good and saturated so i'm also i'm not pulling the trigger when i'm getting down low because i don't want a heavy paint a lot of paint down here on the bottom otherwise i'll have a run same with at the top i'm usually squeezing my trigger right in the middle three quarters i'm releasing it before i get down to the bottom as i start to go back up i'm squeezing it again and i'm squeezing up just about every pass so now i typically you know some people are going to probably question it you know in the video here um you know when do you do your cut-ins or how come you haven't done your cut-ins yet so this is…
