What is this “W” technique I hear about? Are you supposed to do a wall section by section like that? Wouldn’t that be splotchy??? I’m a newbie so please excuse this if it is a stupid question.

hes using the wrong end of the roller to eliminate his streaks. use the other end duuuuhh. i see every painter on these utube vids do the same mistake… they are not using the correct technique. the preassure point should be on the outside.
learn the roller for god sakes… you poeple make me sick.

I clicked on this to get some tips for painting my living room. It seems that some “professional” painters get on here to ridicule whovever made the video. You guys must not have much work to do, go do something with your lives…

Wow, some real special comments on here. “Kill yourself” “Get hit by a bus.” Pretty funny when you get shit like that over a video explaining how to paint walls. Fucking losers.

Thank you for your just comments. Whatever happened to objectively debating a point of view, or providing constructive criticism. Too bad people don’t realize that they hurt themselves more than others with their Insults and hostilities, as they reveal their true colors.

Mayby it’s because the primer isn’t good for the kind of paint you’re using!?!

A real painter? I would trust you with finger pants. No I haven’t been watching DIY videos other than this one ’cause someone emailed to to me pointing out how indeed you are a horrible painter. Congrats on fooling whomever pays you. Yes I do believe in spreading painting by hand like a skilled worker. Not some lazy guy like you. Get Hit by a Bus Please. kthxbye.

Warning–you are a idiot. A real painter (such as myself) always rolls up and down. Don’t tell me you have been watching the DIY videos where they teach that crap about rolling out the “W” pattern? PLease tell you me don’t buy into that ignorant crap.

Idiot–he’s talking about not moving it around laterally while rolling.

Great Comment. I agree.

question to anyone willing to answer. what am i doing wrong? i can’t get that kind of spread out of one “dip” into the paint. i’m using kilz paint, it’s thick. 3/8 Nap roller and i just can’t seem the spread that far. i’m going with the “V” technique and simply running dry in less than a 3 ‘ x 3′ area. of course if you touch the roller with you hand it ’s wet but.. not enough to offer any worthy coat to the wall . and no i’m not applying ridiculous pressure. just not getting a good spread.

Warning: This guy is giving bad advice do not paint up and down. Move on to another video.
December 5th, 2009 at 8:34 am
relax there kav hes just trying to help. people here have anger problems. if you dont like the advice move on! or hey here is a novel idea make your own video or dont watch it. how does insulting a helpful video do anything? maybe helps your ego idk

what a fag first he tells u not to lift ur roller of the wall. then he tells you not to move it around. but then he lifts the roller of the wall to complete the second mistake??????
December 9th, 2009 at 10:12 pm
Does he no fancy cutting in first? :L
December 11th, 2009 at 1:47 pm
The roller he’s using looks like it is too course. It would be better to use smooth or ultra smooth.

what i do when i paint is i do q r s and t on the wall then i write the quantam physics equation on top of that and then i roll the paint on in triangular motions
December 17th, 2009 at 10:13 pm
this does work nice but it takes longer and u can get same results with back rolling in even light pressure
