Pro's like RenoVision recommend *never* changing direction with roller, *always* moving up and down. New paint is applied with a slight gap from the wet edge, then the roller is worked vertically back to the left to overlap wet edge with just the right amount of paint, then repeat with new paint until wall is complete.

This is excellent and very well demonstrated information. Many other sites have way too much yabayaba and not enough “get to the point, already!”. Your site was helpful.

Literally could not make painting sound any harder

No need to tape off everything unless you’re a total beginner. Freehand is so much quicker and you get better results too.

I’m just trying to paint some painting on my wall because I love to paint.. do I need to prime? I’m using acrylic paint

“Fine grit” is pretty obscure. Does that mean 8, 000 or 220? How hard would it have been to add a numerical figure?

I just want to prime the areas where the child marked up the wall with those nice words or drawings. I was told by a shop just to do that and not have to do the whole wall.

What's the stuff they spray . I had water coming threw . Workmen come round after months . That stuff he was saying in my living room on figurines. I covered things in kitchen etc yet the dumb dumb started work in hallway before I shut me living room door

[trillyou]

so i could just prime with white paint too right

Why do industries have to invent special terms to confuse people. Instead of 'cutting in' just say paint the edges first.

Never use caulking to fill small holes in walls.
I'd reccomend watching a different video.
