Legend has it, he's still loading it up.
That's what she said.
I should’ve watched this video 2 rooms ago 😂🤣
Yes. Same....
Me too 😭
I just got a job as a painter and really oversold my abilities since I have never worked as a painter. Now I am here watching this guy demonstrate for me 😂
@@astromane9490 hows your career going
@@MightyJustas I got fired lol 😂😂 they caught on to my bluff
I've been painting for 7 months and this just upped my game, great video! Thanks!
This dude is a great teacher. Thx bro✊🤘
Has anyone ever said you look like Lance Armstrong?
I love my cycling and thing you look scarily close to him!
Thanks for all the effort you put into making free content for people too far away to hire you!
Watching from London, UK. Thanks and a thumbs up.
I own a Remodeling Company and do quite a bit of painting even with my father as a young boy painting in his houses as he was flipping them and everything that I have learned up to this point in my professional life was only about 25% compared to what I've learned off of watching your Channel when it comes to painting. Thank you for the information all the best to you guys out there in Idaho. keep the videos coming there great.
they are or they're not there
Thank you! I've painted quite a few times over the years, just small jobs and my own places. Working in the paint dept at Home Depot and trying to learn what I can; just started taking real (small) jobs, and wow do I have a lot to learn. Worked with yellow (white base) SuperPaint today, absolutely awful, your video confirmed that it wasn't entirely my lack of skill. Its raining here in Jersey, primer coat and the first topcoat are slowly drying, gotta go back tomorrow to finish the job.
Chis, I've been a master painter for 40 years but your enthusiasm infectuousness! Thanks for your contributions!!
you have not been a master painter for 40 years. I would take 40 years to master anything, so at best you've been a good painter for 20 years. But painters are the biggest talkers, as in bullshitters, on the planet.
@@gianthills bro chill
Another great video Chris! Cool to see a newer version of one of your older videos with added tips and tricks. Your videos are very beneficial. Rock on!
Thank you!
I watched many of your videos and was at first , on the skeptical side as a painter for forty years on and off and must say ,there is much to be learned on your channel
Thanks for the support, we greatly appreciate it!
Thanks I like the wide roller/bucket. I never thought about saturating the roller till it sounds different and laying on so much paint at first. Also the extension pole is great so you don’t need a ladder! I once was paid to do a master bath that was complex with different walls and mirrors/lights/bathtub/shower and toilet to go around and I had to use this primer and then paint it and it was tough I worked my ass off and thought I did pretty good but I should have cleaned it up better and rescrewed in All the appliances. So the guy got pissed I didn’t do that. I did good in the rest of the house touching up stuff but the guy said I needed a little more training bc the guy didn’t want to pay me for the master bath. Ah well practice makes perfect. Tape is your friend and I should have known to clean up better and be courteous and reassemble the appliances. Thanks for the video!
Thx Chris and company, you guys are awesome!!!!!!!
Thanks so much for your help!

Goes from tip No.3 to tip No.5 in a split second, this man is next level
He is a great instructor! I'm literally watching this as I paint and his tips are spot-on.
How did it turn out?
Great instructional video Chris, GREAT
Thank you!
Thanks for the tips and sharing your knowledge.
You are welcome!
I’m always picking up painting materials at garage sales. New brushes, blue tape, trays, and rollers. Painting my closets today using my new tips.
this has help me a lot thanks you guys, i,ll keep watching to become a better painter.
I’ve been using your system for a while now, and since then my productivity has doubled. So thanks a lot.
Proverbs 19:20
You mean 9:20
Back when I was still painting, I used 9" inch ball bearing roller handles, with a good quality 3/8" nap cover. I started, as you do, at the top, and work down. I painted in "W's" double-u's. After about a 1 to 1-1/2 feet, I would back roll it to take out the roller lines. When it dried, it looked like it was sprayed on. I really like the roller setup you are using. I don't know if they were available back in the 90's and early 2000's. If they were, I sure missed the boat!
Great video and great instruction, it’s always so nice to learn from a true tradesmen.
I enjoy watching your videos, thank you for the time and effort you put into them. I must admit two things. First... I hate painting ... second... I'm a terrible painter ... do I paint in my house? Yes... and I'm thankful you give me all these tips and tricks... so... thanks ... God Bless you and the family and have a great day
Right on man! You are the man! I'm an aspiring carpenter but my crew and I do a lot of painting, despite not a single one amongst us being a professional painter. At my organization there is an idea that painting is easy and a no-brainer, and yet when people go about it, they have no idea how to do it in efficient manner while achieving a good finished result. This video is great for that! I'll be watching more of them to acquire more tips for when I have to pick up the brush. Great job!
Thanks for sharing
Hola soy español y pintor me encanta lo profesional y lo bueno que eres a mí me apasiona la pintura,habría manera de que saliese traducción en español gracias y un saludo y eres muy profesional
Awesome tips- thanks for all the information!
You are welcome!
yes...you finally got an 18" roller!
I love your attitude. You take a "job" like painting and take it seriously enough to make it into a real skill that you can have a career out of. The world will always need painters, so thanks for showing us how to be a good one!
Great explanations and I saw you on a television show and I'll be honest I learned a lot from a painter who was a professional painter and his work was top-notch I do appreciate your video and it is enough thank you for your contribution😂
I like those 5 tips I am a beginning painter I know somewhat about painting but would love to learn more cause I can start a future thanks Diego
I've started using microfiber naps on satin and eggshell finishes. Virtually no edge lines and a supersmooth end result! And they hold plenty of paint!
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
3/8 or 1/2
Guud stuff learning more and more from you bro, like the roller you use it's big, seams like it's easy to handle, rather then the short rollers.
you should make a video on how to paint smooth walls with semigloss paint. and how to keep the lines out of it when it drys
These guys ROCK!
Da gusto ver las explicaciones y como trabajamos buen equipo gracias por las explicaciones daría gusto trabajar con una persona así gracias
Awesome tips, I've been a residential painter for 22 years now, I use 18inch rollers also all the time, I use 9 's and weenie rollers to but for production and minimizing lap marks, roller lines, I use the 18. I always start in one corner, I usually start left to right, I make sure I de- lint my roller first, I use high adhesive tape, unroll some, step on the free end , hold the roll in my hand and roll my roller up and down the tape, this ensures your walls won't be contaminated. Anyway, I dip my roller for a few minutes to make sure it's soaked a roll it back and forth so I don't see any more dry nap voids, when I'm rolling walls, I do letter W 's to distribute it, I keep dipping and get alot of paint on the wall, I distribute it and will go to the left where I began and start laying it off but I put more twisting pressure on the right side so I'm picking up my previous line if there's any, I intentionally leave a heavy heart line where I left off cause when I do this same process continuing down the wall you'll forget where you left off and you do not want to go back and start disturbing parts that are drying so this technique shows you where you left off to lay off back into. Thank you so much Idaho painter and you and your crew are amazing! Sincerely Lorenzo gig harbor WA.
Nice
Great comment/info.
I have been watching a lot of your videos and they're so helpful! Have you done any videos(or can you?) where you show a close up of how much paint you're loading on an 18" 3/8" nap roller? I always feel like I'm over saturated on my roller and I was interested to see how much you load. Please let me know and keep up the great videos!
I started my company watching your videos
I have been painting for 10 years I never use the 18-in roller till this weekend and I was able to roll ceilings and walls out and half the time thanks a lot my man I keep watching your videos even though I'm a journeyman painter thank you
Your Awesome Paint Life TV and excellent...
awsome thanks for your time.I have a question any videos on cieling with stucco thats tape cracked?i can actually watch it seperate from am to pm with heat in las vegas
You explain things well. Thank you.
Your welcome! Thanks for sharing🤙
@@Idahopainter Question. Painting over old oak trim & windows that.has been previously varnished. Can a deglosser replace sanding? What type of primer would you use? One brand better than another? Any hints to make it easier? Or better not to try?
Very helpful info
THANKS YOU ARE REALLY GREAT.
What happened to tip number 4?😒
Did I miss something?🤔
Thank you that was great. Good job 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love listening to your voice. You are Excrllent at instructions. You do a beautiful job, you are a beautiful Man. I don't see a wedding band. 🤞 🙏
I use purdy equipment all the time....it's really good and gives a good finish...all the best from Cornwall England....
man im an pro painter but i learned about 30/40% more to my trade since been watching your videos ...
Veselin Slavkov facts! Me as well
Glad to help, thanks for watching!
Veselin Slavkov has
Same here! Thanks Chris you are helping us be better painters.
I had my first unsatisfied customer recently. I got in too much of a hurry and did some poor work that I will have to fix. I used Chris’s tips on how to fix and move forward.
Sir, I watched many video you'd made and here is one thing that I really need to know that, which is better result on wall between brush paint and painting airless machine. Please let me know..
I wish I had found your videos before I painted my house. I still have 1 or 2 rooms so I am definitely going to use this technique next time. Can you show us how to paint cement?
With the way how u paint there's no need for a second coat... good job
Yo bro.. a 14 inch roller is actually the best to use as well as the 18. Here in denver the preferred roller is the 14 in. . It s easier to bankroll and gets in the corners tighter for a solid Coate
Do you clean your 5gal pan spotless at the end of the day? How do you prevent paint chips or flickets from getting into the new paint? Also do you strain your paint when you pour it into the pan. Thanks
Ok...., so....., Roll once. Load up, move over 2 inches, roll once, Load up, move over 2 inches, load up, and repeat the same process until you use 5 gallons on 1 wall. .......Right?🤔
I watched a few of the other youtube painting instruction videos and I have to say yours covers a better detail on "cutting" and really going over both walls and ceiling techniques using tools that make work smarter and not harder. Thanks. Question- Is it better to paint the ceiling first then the walls or walls then ceilings? I would think painting from the top and working down, but better to ask then to find out the hard way. Thanks again.
It is better to do your ceilings before walls. You may end up with splashes of paint on your walls
Thank you very much sir do they make a 5 gallon bucket like that with a lid. Your video was very helpful. I am 61 and new to this trade
You make this look so easy lol
perhaps gonna do this to pay my rents. this is really helpful! I previously not using those roller. guess gonna request that.
Hope it goes well
I am repainting my place in AZ tomorrow. Watching this video helped a lot. This is the best video I found! Plus you’re in Idaho? Better yet. From your Washington soon to be Arizona neighbor.
Who needs plaster when you have an eighth of an inch of paint? And what happens to the gloop on the left wall by the cupboard.
Unload once at the top part of the wall, unload a second time at the lower part of the wall then blend the two.
Once you have done 2 widths of a roller, don't reload your roller, clean the grain by dry rolling without applying any pressure from up to down, then load again and just keep moving like that.
No matter how "new" you are to painting, you can't do anything else than a professional job.
That's how I teach my apprentices to do it, and they always do perfect walls after the very first one they do.
It's a simple technique and the most important thing is to always have a wet wall (as in no rolling if it's not drenched in paint other than to clean the grain every 2 lengths)
So you're saying being a professional painter is extremely easy? Because I completely disagree.
El Maestro 😎🤘
This dude's badass, my dad's a painter and it's harder than it looks.
Love the intro
well we are 2 painters one use the airless spray painter and the other use the paint roller and if u use the paint pr m2 that the producent want 5-8 m2 liter
we dont have to roll in one direction but thanks for your vidios i have gor a lot of good tips
Hi chris, when painting a whole house what order would you paint to save time. Ceiling, baseboards then walls? Also when spraying is a 2nd coat always required when painting over a different color? Thanks love the videos
Usually its top to bottom so ceiling first
Do you saturate the walls? From the video it seems like a lot of paint you put on at first. That square you painted won't effect the look when you start painting that wall? It won't show up as thicker?
I appreciate any answers
When I'm rolling, it usually makes a different texture at the spots where i pull the roller off of the wall or change directions. This is at the top and bottom of the stripe. do you do anything that i'm not seeing or is there something that I need to do differently? I have seen where some people say to spin the roller a little off of the wall, it doesn't look like you are doing that. Also how do you handle cut ins at the bottom of a wall with no baseboard in a room with hardwood floors?
Kess Cottingham I wonder the same about the patch I get with my roller, with the floor I would tape the floor for 3 inches or so
Loved the video so much I went out and bought an 18" roller and acces. Tell me please, The covers are expensive and not easy to clean. Tips please to cleaning these long roller covers?
Get a hose with a attachment at the end that makes it spray farther and harder etc. I can't think of the name of it. Keep roller skin on frame and spray the roller on it's very edge holding the frame sideways like a blender with the water untill it spins and eventually it'll spin all of the paint off and even spin so fast half the time it'll dry it self off its the best way to clean a roller if u have access to a hose
Good tips
Glad you think so!
I rock the big roller when the customers see how quick things get taken care of there jaws drop
lol, that's what its for!
I would agree with you with most things until a few weeks ago. Change my mind after I painted with some Puerto Ricans recently. I pretty much painted like the Idaho painter before. They paint different and it is faster. Almost no brushes. They use edgers and they run them perfectly. They use a giant 18 in nap. Biggest damn nap I've ever seen. It took a quarter of the time. Got me rethinking
things.
What if I have a dark color do you recommend using primer separately ?
how can you tell if your baseboards that are already painted were primed, fingernail test? and if it turns out they were not primed do I have to strip the baseboards down to Wood?
Do you wash that big bucket clean after every use?
As far as new construction goes, what do you use or recommend to prime all the new drywall with before you paint?
PVA Primer
very nice sir...
Thank you!🤙
Did I miss something? You skipped step #4.
That's a heavy coat. How long does it take to dry so you can do your second coat?
I am a teacher who works as a handyman in the summer. I am getting more paint jobs and your videos are helpful. One question. Are you cleaning your roller covers or are they disposable?
We clean them
Hello Chris. I have learned so much from you as I painted my whole exterior this summer using what I learned on your Channel. Now moving to the interior. Quick question, I have scoured your RUclips videos today looking for the paint you recommend for interior. Assuming satin and a Sherwin Williams product, which model of SW paint do you recommend for both rolling and spraying interiors? I have found tons of video where you recommend Eminence for ceilings but nothing on actual SW model for interior walls. Do you recommend cashmere, duration, emerald, other for interior? I tried to find in the video descriptions but you only list the tools used and never the make and model of the coating applied in these videos. Just a suggestion in future videos that you also include the coatings used (Make/Model) in the video description. Thanks so much!
Hey Chris, would you please do a video on paint scraping the exterior of the home, stucco and wood facia?
Good idea!
Oh thank you!
Questions I have are:
What are the best tools?
What is an acceptable finished scraping (should I try to get ALL paint off?)
How do I sharpen scraping tools?
When should I realize the scraping job is physically too much for me?
Due to local codes, I'm not allowed to power wash. So I'm scraping 1300sq ft house. I need a wider tool and a scraping strategy that pro uses for speed and effect.
I would like to see a video showing the best tools, tips and tricks for aged exterior paint removal and repainting.
I got the same gear as you. Purdy cage ?/10
I question many things you do as it is so different from the way I was taught like rolling a thick square on a wall you're not even rolling yet. I know it's only first coat but it might as well be done on the wall you're about to roll out. And the production style of one cut in two coats rolled is also puzzling
Yes! Like he putt wayyyy to much paint in that corner and he should have rolled it out because I know it was running bad.
do you always prime the walls first?
When you load the roller, you put multiple coats in one area. Does that show on the wall when everything is dry?
Yes, especially in rooms that are well lit and/or if it's a semi gloss or high gloss paint you're using, it will look blotchy...I still remember my first year at painting for a living, I was always in sh*t for putting too much paint on the wall and to make sure I backrolled it off.
This is what I was wondering
No you will not be able to notice. Idk what this other guy is talking about. Smh
I thought you were gonna add a link to type of Paint that is needed?
I have painted various rooms over the last few months, i have a question, why does my roller seem to soak up more than it applies to the wall? I bought a good nap and thought it was that so bought another one and both seem the same, I was using dulux washable and tough paint and ended up having to add around 35% water just so it goes on the wall, otherwise I'd be lucky to paint 1 wall with a 2.5l tin of paint.
Am I doing something wrong? I load the roller I touch the wall and if I go up I'd say I'd be out of paint in less than a 2sq foot area with a fully loaded roller.
Is it the paint or roller nap? Is it best to water down as i have been as this does really help
Never good to water down the paint. Could be the nap on the roller is too big or the wall might be really dry. I doubt it’s the paint.
I've been painting for quite a few years, not professionally, more just my rental properties, my home etc. I'm pretty particular in how I do things, and have learned quite a bit from you. Got a ceiling job coming up, and am going with a 14" roller. Want to get used to it rather than go with the 18" right away. Thanks for all the advice.
Doom Slayer Thanks. That's the handle I bought, song with the extension pole. I think It's the Sherlock from Wooster. I forget right now. Ceiling isn't anything huge. It's a kitchen with a dining area. 20 feet long by about 12 feet wide.
Good idea, thanks for watching!
Finished the ceiling job with the 14 inch roller, which took a little getting used to, but once I got it, I couldn't imagine doing it with a smaller roller. Lots of prep work as it was peeling all around the edges and had to patch some areas that had previous water damage. Cleaned it with TSP, couple of clean water rinses, sanded, primed, sanded again and two coats of ceiling paint. After the first coat of ceiling paint, I told the homeowner I'd be back the next day to do an additional and final coat. He asked if I really needed to do a second coat because he couldn't see any areas that I chipped and patched. The next day after he got home from work and saw the second coat, I got a text from him that said "Wow, what a difference a second coat makes". Ceiling came out great, and they were extremely happy. Thanks for all the tips, especially the larger roller. Just ordered some 18 inch rollers for another job coming up.
Off subject from rolling. whats ur opinion on tritech sprayers t4 ?
What’s the best way to cut in by the baseboards
Hi Chris, do you think you could make an Amazon.ca (Canadian version) of your shop? I've been buying your recommendations, but I'm not sure if any percentage goes to you or not.
That is a good idea!
How much should you charge for a room like from applying puttin to Paint
What kind of paint is that!😳 Yo you are awesome!😀
Questions:
1)I was told by my first painting mentor that correctly painted trim is painted in oil…(I’m guessing this is not true as I NEVER see anyone else doing it)
2) I use 3/4 nap on everything “no such thing as smooth walls where I’m from”
I never have lines on walls…but I’m scared of ceiling white cause I almost always have friggin lines!? Maybe dropping to 3/8 would help?…is ceiling white typically more difficult to do a good job with?…or am I just a little slow?
3) Purdy sells a lot of unnecessary crap huh?…I’m looking dead at the clearcut and pro-extra…I can’t tell a difference!?
4) can you please suggest a GOOD house-painting book?
“If you just answer 4)… I’d be perfectly happy with that” 👍🏽
Thanks, and have a great day.
Chris, Due to local codes, I'm not allowed to power wash. So I'm scraping 1300sq ft house. Ugh. I need a wider tool if it exists and a scraping strategy
What am Is a pro trying to achieve with scraping? Not to sound so pedantic but it would be great to just get a reminder of the goal a pro.
Hello there, How do you manage, to keep from leaving a thick paint line with the roller at the top of the wall, when you are putting on so much paint? Thanks a lot Matt.
start at the middle of the wall
Hallo there, i wish to join your painting job in due course, because i have worked as painter in high rise building. I understand the emulsion and solvent base painting for masonry, metal, and wood surfase , i hope you could take some time to considered this informal application thanks
Do you/ or can let your cut ins at your ceiling, baseboards, or corners dry before you roll the walls? Meaning day 1 I do all my cut ins in my room than come back next day and roll walls?
We recommend doing them in the same day
I want to paint a Queenslander which has wood grooved walls. Would an airless sprayer be the best tool for interior and exterior? I have wood floors and the house is 5 feet off the ground. Hoping to start early in September Queensland Australia.
Yes, airless would be a good tool
