Heres a tip from a pro painter, this is just a video about rolling so dont worry about the cutting in for this video, but now the tip, first paint the wall with the roller as he explains but then go back to the corner you started in and lightly roll from top to bottom keeping the roller working the same way, when you get to the opposite corner do one stroke from bottom to top with roller turned the other way this is called laying off and will give you a smooth even finish.

Nice tips BUT, when you are demonstrating the “correct way” the camera is on the painter the majority of the time, and not fully showing what he’s doing. Good work, though:)

Hope this works, I’m a noobie painter but already got compliments on the trim around the front door. Now I’m doing the inside and want to make sure I don’t get streaks!

Hi, 1stGenGamers.
Depends, if you use paint with a sheen IE (eggshell, semi-gloss, satin ect) then you have to cut first or it will flash, which means the sheen dries down differently where you brushed. However, if you use flat paint it doesn’t matter if you roll or brush first.

@95TurboSol Isn’t he supposed to cut first, Do the trimming near the ceiling and doors? Or can it look ok if you do it last?

@skevo9
I agree with you, I have been a professional painter for 8 years, the guy in the video is explaining the correct way to do it. People criticizing him have no clue what their saying.

Hmm. I don’t like these painting videos so far. I’m thankful for my on the job training after watching these. Fortunately my company doesn’t make us watch instructional videos, else we may not have a company.
