I f&*%king HATE painting!



It seriously drives me stark raving mad! Next time I buy a house, I'm NOT going to take the $500 painting allotment and I'll let the previous owners repaint the entire freaking house white, instead of the dingy yellow masking tape color. Seriously, I swear they took masking tape into Lowes and asked for them to match the color. EVERYTHING is that color, trim, doors, walls, though thankfully the ceiling is not.

But don't get me started on popcorn ceiling and trying to paint a nice line. Screw that up every time, whether I use a tool to push into the corner or not.

I was a painter for 8 years commercial and residential if you want some tips pm me. I will throw this out there, if you only want to paint once for the next couple years buy Benjamin Moore. Over 10k gallons and I can honestly say its the best there is.

Heya Belly.

I don't really want to do any painting at BC's place either.


Unless he has some Black midget hooker with an English accent or something.

midget or not, I'm not painting a darn thing.

Next painting tips:

Use a dab of warm water on your brush before you paint. Dry brushes leave deep streaks when you do your cut lines. And always buy "Purdy" brand brushes. Easy to clean with a BBQ brush and some hair conditioner.

Dont buy into the bs small "cut" rollers they are bs. There is no real way to cut corners when you want a good paint job. Normal brush and normal 12" roller woth a 1"-1.25" nap (thickness) with a good broom stick as an extension.

Blue tape is your friend the white masking will shred quick pulling away from trim or a textured wall.

When you have your cut lines done (anywhere you can't get with a roller) when you start to roll start about 3 roller widths away from your cut line and roll it out in straight 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock lines and move in torwards the cut line, that way you won't have a bunch of paint next to say a door jam.


Semi gloss in bathrooms and kitchens unless you want to paint again in 1-2 years time. You cannot clean flat paint it will flash (show). Perl's and Satins are dry washable (light dry towel).

If you use Bennie Moore paint you can get away with only doing one good thick cut line and have 2 coats rolled on after and have it blend perfect. It's the only paint I have ever used to do so.

You waste more paint spraying than rolling it on and it's a way thinner coat.

If you plan on priming or even just "spot priming" the walls before you paint I recommend using a universal joint compound, it's easy to work with especially when repairing good size dings and holes. Just make sure you have it completely spot primed so you don't have it soak up all of the finish paint.

Changing colors? Blue, yellow or even brown to a light color, tint your primer to the finish color. It will cover in less coats.

Popcorn ceilings SUCK! But the easiest way is to spray it. If you can't you can do it with a 3" nap lamb skin roller
