STOP Lap Marks. Tips PRO's Use To Paint Perfect Walls.

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

To achieve a flawless finish, ensure the roller is always saturated with paint. Apply three vertical "laps" (up-and-down passes) to cover an area, then spread the paint evenly (layout), and perform another three laps, consistently overlapping the wet edge by 50%. Following this technique, by keeping the wall completely saturated and maintaining overlap, you will successfully avoid lap marks. The presenter also notes that painting walls is generally easier than ceilings due to heat rising, which causes ceiling paint to dry faster.

Goal: Achieve a seamless paint finish without lap marks through consistent saturation and overlap.

I've laid it out and I'm going to do three more if you keep this thing saturated with paint and you do your overlap you will not get lines the walls aren't nearly as hard as ceilings because heat rises so I've got one lap got my wall got my pain saturated lay it out I'll do one more length and then do my layout you can see this is completely saturated and I will not get lines in my lot in my walls as long as I keep a wet Edge
