One of the best instructional videos I have seen on here, well done - UK Painter/Decorator/teacher

Thank you for taking the time to do this tutorial. Awesome tips.. has been a huge help for this beginner to get great results.

Always a pleasure to watch a skilled man.

just amazing

This is the best clear explanation and demonstration of panting a wall as I have ever seen. Top!

I haven't viewed all your videos, but the ones that I have are outstanding and very informative. I'm in the process of removing wallpaper so I'm already planning ahead on painting the walls. Your videos have been very helpful and encouraging me that I won't mess up or screw up too badly.

Awesome video. I gotta paint my interior this weekend. You made it look easy. Thanks 🙏🏾

Hi Rick, nice video but a question for you, is it best to use a light grey basecoat for reds, blues, greens etc,. and light brown basecoat for yellows and oranges? as it can take up to 4 coats to give a perfect finish.

get closer cameraman....crap !!! i'm a cameraman... thank's that was great video

Great vid.

First Class demonstration. You showed precisely what I was doing wrong, pushing too hard and not using a pole . Thanks loads Dude. If you lived near me I would hire you on the spot. Go well.

I appreciate it sir, that was extremely helpful Information.Thanks million and, please keep them coming. Awesome results,however.

Thanks 🙏

thank you

excellent

Hi Rick, great tips, well presetned, from a viewer down under. (Australia.)

Goodman yourself, I've learned something :)

Thanks for getting right to the point and being very clear. I'm 5'2 so a roller extender is a MUST lol I never realized the control you get with one though! I never understood the whole "v,w,z,a,c,d" (being a smart ass obviously lol!) people make on the walls with the paint LOL! Thanks again kind sir!

Thank you for this excellent instructional video! I did learn a lot by just watching at the end. I noticed that you do about 6-9 "up-downs" per dip. I know there is no magic number, but this will be helpful as I learn what the roller feels like when it needs more paint. Too bad I did not see your video this morning before I rolled my first coat of paint in my 18x20 living room. I was not happy with coverage, suspected I wasn't using enough paint and found your video on KZfaq. The extension pole is an excellent suggestion for a newbie like me, and it's really saved my neck/back/shoulders while priming the living room. The DIY cable shows do not show people using extension poles, only the roller frame & making W's on the wall. I thought that's how it's done and about killed myself priming and painting my bathroom. Keep up the good work, Rick! I'll keep checking back for new content!

Beautiful. Thanks so much for breaking it down.

Nice

Very good man

Thank-you Sir

thank you!!

Audio is working. Thanks for an excellent tutorial. Appreciated

Great thanks for your great service uncle am also a senior paint in Africa

This was awesome and helpful. Thanks, Rick! You can tell that you enjoy what you do and your explanations are clear with good demonstrations.

FYI. Record audio in stereo.... many people use one ear bud which makes your audio to hear if they have the wrong bud in.

This is a great video. Thank you for uploading.

EXCELLENT

brilliant vid Rick, have you got something in the bucket to run excess paint off a roller ?

Excellent tutorial, thank you so much for posting this! I'm a newbie in the process of painting a room and struggling a bit with Behr Premium semi-gloss paint leaving streaks. I'm going to try your method and hope it works for me. I think my problem has been not putting enough paint on the roller and going back over paint that needs to be left alone. Thank you, thank you!

This was the video I needed ... a couple of days ago! I was doing it completely wrong and have inconsistent texture all over the walls. I will probably need some more paint now as well.

Thank you.

Super

This was very helpful. Should have watched this before i painted. I am going to purchase a few things before I finish tomorrow. Thanks for the tips

Thank you for this excellent video!

Hi Rick, great videos! Can you let the cutins completely dry on final coat before rolling the walls, without getting picture framing? Finding it hard to keep a wet edge with cutins.

Excellent teaching. I am a beginner only do my home but now I see a better way to paint and what rolls to use. Thank you.

How are people saying Thank You when there's NO SOUND ????

Great helpful video rick thanks!!

Time for a dip!!!

I TOTALLY agree about buying the better brushes and rollers, makes all the difference! Thanks for the tips!

Thanks for that mate, I'm off to get me roller.

I like how you explained it in detail..very informative..

I just finished painting a bathroom with lots of furniture and objects to paint around. After it dries there are streaks and a section that looks flat next to eggshell finish. Can I just paint a section of the wall, top to bottom, without having to repaint the entire wall?

Excellent. Thanks Rick.

excellent tutorial! subscribed

Hello Rick, you made it look so easy, now I will be painting my bedroom...cheers!

Fantastic video, lots of great tips! Thank you!!

Thanks so much! If you have a wall with roller marks on it, can a second coat done as shown in your awesome video fix that or does the wall have to be sanded?

This was great! Thanks for this video.

Good stuff, thank you!

Thanks for the video :) will be painting my bedroom this will help a lot

dryrolling we call it mash n mow lol love ur video

This is the best! THANK YOU! I guess you're right, it's not that hard, but to DO have to know some stuff to get it done right. I'm pretty good around the house but have never painted. I ended up with a really impressive job! We made a 1/3 payment to a "painter" who did such a terrible job, and wasn't interested in fixing it, that we had to tell him to walk away; runoff lines all over, (apparently no outside pressure on the pole!), snot or something in the paint that left obvious defects, etc. Having been burned once, I didn't want to do THAT again and figured that I could better than what he had done... I spent quite a few hours prepping the walls to start over again. Then, I watched your fantastic video quite a few times and went for it, knowing what my technique should be: - Home Depot didn't have Lamb's Wool in 3/8" so I got their ones marked BEST. This will probably make you unhappy, but I used one roller per coat and tossed out the used one when done. (I was paranoid about leaving my own defects in the painted wall.) - I used a lint roller for pets to remove any loose material that might be on the roller cover - I strained the paint through the filter nets available from Sherwin Williams because I don't know if his "snots" were from dried paint clumps IN the paint, if he picked up junk on the roller from the floor, or what was going on. Again, THANK YOU! I wish that I had found this video and done it myself in the first place...

Thank you for the video, Rick. It is very educational indeed.

Great video, with very clear instructions, thanks.

Thank you so much for posting this. I have never painted a wall before and do not know much about the process, tools and etc. but I would like to paint my room a different colour. Do you suggest I watch a few more videos to gain more knowledge or get someone experienced to paint my room together with ?? Thanks.

I found some microfiber rolls. I am painting a bed room wall with texture. Will this work well?

Seriously great instructional video. Thank you

Wonderful,Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for the tips! Greatly informative!

Just finished painting a couple days ago and what he said not to do, is exactly how my wife was using the roller...😫

Excellent work. Thanks

Ceilings are done using this same process--- correct? Thanks for your help!

Do you ever sand between coats?

these a synthetic material called polyamide which they say holds as much paint as lambswool cleans up easier with the less splatter and dripping cost less and last longer than lambswool.

i been doing it exactly the same way for years but find that when painting low sheen or semi gloss against a source of light like a balcony or window i can see something like thin upside down elongated piramid shape patterns (not really lines) when looking at it from side but when looking at it straight on it all looks even. im sure that im applying the paint the right way but suspect that the slight side roller movement when going along the wall is whats causing this. Starting to think maybe its better to lay off in a straight lines ceiling to floor..unfortunately that takes longer but will have to experiment a bit. what u reckon mate? do u use this rolling technique with low sheen and semigloss paints?

Very nice mate. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

I even do that little thing catching the pole with my foot when I drop it to the floor!! lol...are you a full time decorator Rick?...working on your own contracts etc and just do these clips as a sideline to help people?

this was very educational, thank you !

Thanks. Very helpful!

Loving these videos 👍🏻do ya any on hanging wallpaper & painting doors because I have it all to do ,Oh & whats ya thoughts on steamers to remove paper 👍🏻x

mostly good,,,but,how to paint silk emulsion white?...over paint?...him?

Great video!!! Thanks for the tutorial!

Thank you for the clear instructions. I have one question for you, here in Australia it is recommended to use an undercoat on walls prior to painting top coat, but I notice on American TV shows they just seem to paint straight over old paint, is that how it is done over there?

Hi Rick, What type of roller cover material would you recommend other than lambswool for painting smooth to semi smooth walls? Is micro fibre any good? Oh and what brands would you suggest, I'm in Australia.

Hi, I can't get ride of the roller marks, after it drys, it is visible, no idea why? Even i put more paint it did not help me.

Very informative. Thanks!

Thank you,Sir . Very useful tips indeed.

helpful and useful, thanks a lot.

Brillant, really useful tips. Thanks!

Hi, could you please advice how to paint the already painted wallpaper? Thanks

Thanks for the video, I am currently about to sand down an entire wall which I ruined hahaha, here's to hoping your tips will allow me to fix the issues I have started with (surprisingly I had followed all the general advice about buying decent gear (good quality rollers/handle/extension/brushes and various other bits of kit from painting youtubers), but then when I went to use my roller it started ripping all the paint I had applied when doing the edges/trim as soon as I got near them ... then it proceeded to leave giant globs trickling down). Hence the whole sanding it back and starting again ... if I don't get it right this time I will just a professional to fix it haha!

Thank you so much, i was doing it all wrong!

Fix the sound?

audio not working?

8:06

great information! thanks for sharing

You did a good job

A previous paint job left more texture/orange peel than I would like; if I sand lightly, and re-paint carefully, will that help reduce orange peel - or the only solution a mud job? Thanks!

There's a line left where the wall meets the ceiling, are you going to go over that area again with a brush?

Very Informative. Thank you!

Hi Rick. I have to do my stairway that leads to a u turn hallway. Both the stairs and the hall are narrow and along the hallway is a three foot parapet which allows access to the high areas of the stairwell with a short pole. Looks like I will have to do the walls-low- medium- high instead of the full run from top to bottom and vice versa like you recommend. I would like to watch a videos on how you roll stairwells and narrow hallways. Thanks for the informative channel. Jim Reading, PA USA

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Help, the the metal strip and the foam roller attached to it always gets detached while I'm rolling for only a few strokes, why is this happening?

Very informative video!! 👍🏾👍🏾

Thank you very helpful.

I just painted a wall today for the 4th time and I ‘thought’ I was doing it correctly but obviously not, I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Roller was loaded with paint, even pressure applied, have the pole but it looks like lime paint wall (it’s just Dulux white paint). It’s got different texture patches all over….. heylp any idea? I think the nap might be a bit to thick maybe 🤷🏻‍♀️?
