How to get straight paint lines. #shorts #diy #tape #caulk #paint

[ststst]

Everyone shitting on him like they're all professional painters. This is good for the casual diy person who doesn't have a lifetime of experience learning to paint perfect lines

[mightymight]

The caulking after taping is for textured walls (especially deep textured walls). If you use just tape, the paint will just barely squeeze underneath the tape between the lumps and ridges of the texture not making it a super straight line. Of course, using a Purdy eliminates all that IF you know how to use it/cut properly. For everyone else, this is worth it.

Professional painter here please tape off the base first, then cut it and then roll it this way it doesn’t picture frame on you when you do your second coat picture frame meaning you see a darker outline around the edges, then you do on the wall

No matter how good you are are free handed at cutting. You can't never beat tape straight line.

All these painters saying they can do perfect lines without the tape. I’ve been a contractor for 30 years and yes there are good painters but if you want it perfect you gotta tape and caulk it. Post videos of your work or STFU.

I'm from an old school professional family. However, I'm getting older and have high anxiety, I can appreciate this hack.plus, I love the smoothness of caulk on my finger. Lol

Love your videos, don’t listen to these haters there’s always another way to do something, it looks great

[dazzlenconfused]

Just a quick note To all who attemp this method easiest way to achieve it is if you make sure you see the edge of the tape threw the chalking that way you know it ain't to thick because you can mess it up if the chalking is to thick great method

It looks amazing, the only thing I will say is, I he sould have introduced the caulking after painting to the corners where the base meets the wall, I would have brought out the base more and made it pop. And since it is the smaller part of the house, I think it deserves more attention

It took me a long time to learn to cut a line. It saved a lot of time. A quality brush is key. Im not a pro but I learned from one.

15 years experience professional here ….. rule #1 don’t use tape… don’t paint the wall to the base…. Paint the base to the wall…. Rest of the trim paint the wall to the trim…. It to time consuming to tape baseboards… or try to cut the wall to the base… you will get straighter lines if you just use the old school way.

Amazing 🤩 I do it all the time a painter 👩‍🎨 gave me the idea 💡 u can also use yellow masking tape

[donaldduck]

I love that you share your skills! Boom!😎👍

[ryane]

The amount of pennies per foot painters commenting here is alarming, everybody claiming they can cut clean lines, doesn’t use caulk.. blah blah blah. Elevate your shit, the best painters absolutely use caulk, and tape. Maybe not always like this, but on almost any given job it’s there.

Mr. Jalapeño, you do get a lot of " I could do it better comments " from the keyboard know-it-alls.
