Good to hear, that's why i created this channel, to help people like yourself do their own painting and do it properly. Hiring someone like me is expensive for a first time home owner or a young family starting out so I made these video's to help those who can't afford to hire someone to do it for them. You may or may not have notice but I have never promoted my business because it always been about helping people like you. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe

How long did it take you?

My floor plan was complex and there was quite a lot of trim ~ crown, baseboards, window & door casings, doors. The prep work took the longest as both the trim and the drywall needed a fair amount of repair and sanding. Mind you, the house was EMPTY and it still took WEEKS. There is NO WAY to do the whole place while you live in it ~ NO WAY. You got to get out, or do it before you move in.

Absolutely a waste of time. You never have to back roll flat paint, especially primer. This is laughable.

For walls I would normally use between 12 - 18 mm nap so maybe a 15 might be the go. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe.

No, never run the roller completely dry of paint and it will be fine. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe.

Yes for new work I do add about 10% water so it soaks in and I normally use an acrylic sealer undercoat. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe.

I should have another one up later today or tomorrow, just get busy and don't have enough spare time to upload.

@@howtopaintinfo that's a good complaint mate. I'm looking forward to it 👍👍

Yes you can break it down to smaller sections, it all depends on weather conditions and how long the paint is taking to dry. So try working in smaller sections making sure there is no strong breeze blowing by as that will dry the paint quicker. Also don't go too thin with the paint as it will dry too quick and you won't have time to back roll. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe.

Maybe you are letting the paint dry too much before laying it off, try laying off as you go and yes I do have a ceiling video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q-BiirVpprbelJc.html Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe.

Thanks, how dry is your roller when you do the laying off?

It would be ready for another dip in the paint but you should never force all the paint out the roller, there should always be a bit in it.

Yes you should repaint the complete wall to avoid any colour variation due to the age of the paint. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe.

Should you also sand in between coats? So after the first coat, should you wait for it to dry then sand once more before you add a second coat so the finish looks a lot more smoother? Also I seen a video where they say you should use sponge with sugar soap to wash the wall or where original marks were before repainting?

Depending on how bad they are, you may need to sand them out or if not too raised you might get away with another coat of paint to hide them. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe.

Once orange peel it there it is hard to get rid of but hopefully will look better with every coat of paint you put over it as it will fill the surface slightly. You can give it a sand first, this might help remove some of the peaks of the paint. Also there are some high build paints on the market they may help. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe.

I use a sander to take the peaks off. Works well but hard for larger areas.

@@joeschmoe6021 thanks!

It can some times be the paint you are using, I have found some ceiling paints dry without showing overlap marks and others show almost all overlap marks and they are all flat finishes. Maybe try a different brand of ceiling paint that might help. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe.

The paint I used here would have been an acrylic paint. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe.

I prefer the PVA It's made to lock down new drywall :-)

Rota Cota excel 2

I think it was a lambswool 14 mm nap sleeve. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe.

It's primer. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe

Yes, to soak in and seal the surface, its also generally easy to sand. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe

Not sure but I would say it would have been about a 15 mm nap, Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe

That’s too heavy for walls, you need a 11mm, use a microfibre on new walls for a better finish

Back rolling is something you do for every coat. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe.

You can or you could also try starting early in the morning to beat the heat. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe.

Yes you can just sand it but depending on how bad it is it might be easier to put a skim coat of top coat over wall. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe.

No it doesn't pull the paint off as it is new plaster board and its soaking in. All the back rolling does is level the paint out as I do put plenty on. You can sand it and I do but if you leave heavy orange peel then it would be a hard job to get it back smooth. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe.

Then you didn't apply enough paint

@@ThouArtOfWar0724 Doesn't matter how much paint i apply, it still does it. believe me i've tried everything. Maybe uk paint is just shit.

It's ok to do with new work and only first coat. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe.

It's all about how you finished off, as long as it's back rolled then it will be fine. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe.
