Condo Reno How to Paint Walls & Ceilings Made Easy/Part 39

Class is now open. I'm going to show you how to paint the wall down to the top of the baseboard. I've already done this whole little section in here. It came out looking really good too. I just used my my paint tray with the throwaway paint inserts and I've got it on a little piece of cardboard because that's metal and I don't want it scratching or marking up the the existing floor. I'm not even going to use my craft paper. I'm just going to run out of there and of course I've got my knee pad on. I got my knee brace on. I got my back support lumbar support on and all that kind of stuff and I'm just gonna I'm just gonna grab this and pull it over here and get ready to start. Okay and I'm going to get you situated over here. I'm going to try to I'm going to try to keep you down kind of low here. Okay now I've got the light from outside showing. I don't know how well this is going to show up on video but I'll do another section of painting after this in the other room and in the bathroom. As a matter of fact I'm going to be doing some some work in the bathroom. Some painting. Doing the same thing in the bathroom and I like using my flat little paint tray here because then I just get just a just a little bit on there. That's it. I don't need a whole lot and I'm doing this corner and when I usually paint the wall up next to the door casings I'll paint down as far as I can down this way and then it just stops and then when I do the baseboard I'll come back and finish that and see to do that this is an angled paintbrush and I just kind of set it on here like that and I'm getting this tip right in the corner just at a 45 degree angle just wiggle it a little bit and put pressure on it and come up right along that edge see wiggle it and get some on there and if I need just a little bit more paint I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna put a little bit more on there okay and do it again because there's that spray texture on there when I get out of that corner now now now I can go flat like that see right in there there's a little bit of a little hole where the spray texture was you just take that and kind of wiggle it and move it okay now there I got that section right up there and now now I'm gonna I'm just getting a little bit and I'm gonna go right at that angle like that 45 degree angle see I'm coming up this way just with the tip that's why you got to have a good cut in brush now I'm kind of gonna come across this way a couple times right at the top okay now now I can I see I just clean off my paintbrush so I don't have an edge now I can get right down there see that look at that now once I'm out of that corner I've got a little bit of extra paint on here now I'm going to put it on there and kind of wipe off a little bit of it before I go back down there because I don't want to get I don't want to get too much paint on my paintbrush at any one time down at the bottom because then I'm not I'm going to leave a line like that so I just take a little bit off and I still have plenty of paint on the brush to go right along there and the paint that I just got off of there I could blend in because I've got to I got to kind of taper that in to the wall anyway from where the the paint roller stopped right that wipe it off and I'm right down there no paint edge now I'm taking that paint blending it in plus it's also it's also giving me a little bit more on my paintbrush to not create any edge of paint on there so I can do that now I can go back this way look and that covers up any little spray texture bits that you might think were missing that the paint was you cut in and cut in and cut in you think my word I can still see a couple areas you got to go the other way and then that throws over those bumps you see and I'm just going to keep going see I don't have any any craft paper here or anything on the floor I'm just being careful I don't have hardly any paint on this brush at all okay and that's why I like going out of the paint tray you don't have to have any more than that you're not a professional painter and you don't want to do this so fast that you're going to get it all over the place okay now I've got it wiped off and then I can kind of I've got plenty of paint on there okay now I can go down there do that grab a little bit more and this time I'm not going to go down there just yet I'm just blending in where the paint roller stopped before I go down there now I got I still got enough paint on there to go right down to the edge and you'll get you'll get good at it after a while the tricky part is if you get any shadow or something or or the the baseboard's been caulked you've got to kind of create your own line down there see now I got I got a lot on there I'm just gonna I'm just gonna blend in the bit above the base okay where the where the uh paint roller stopped now I got that I've got plenty on here still go right down there steady hands and you can do it okay that's how I'm going to do this whole this whole room I'll show you how to do some inside corners in a little bit but it's kind of how I did that one back over there okay I've got I've got some paint on here not not a whole lot I'm you know I'm not in a big old race or anything might not even cut in with that one I kind of I kind of fold that back and forth just a hair so I don't get so much that it's gonna drip on the floor now I can get some of that off the edge before I go down see I'm picking up some right there cleaning off the edge going down there to make sure I don't get a get too much paint on there you get too much paint on your paintbrush and then you're gonna leave a line and then that paint is gonna it's gonna go over on top of your baseboard and all that boy let's see I'm having to I'm just doing that to kind of blend in everything on the wall where I stopped the paint roller from before see how see I'm putting it on there and I'm getting it on the wall first right there now now I don't have any on the edges of the of the paintbrush ends the bristles now now I can go right down there see now I'm going to go back this way because I saw just a couple little spots and if you see a hole just take it there and wiggle it and you're putting paint right in that little there's a little pinhole there and I got it right in there just like that I've got that little section of base done that didn't take very long you know I mean granted however much baseboard you have you're you're gonna this is this room this room and stuff I'll be in here a couple hours see I got to do this bathroom still and I and I'll probably show you that because see there's lots of inside corners in there and um I've got to do this space over here and I and I like to go from left to right if you've seen my videos before I like to go from left to right when I'm cutting in all the baseboards that's why I started on this wall right there at the end of that baseboard from left I could have started I could have started over here on the right and gone all the way over that way to the right it's a little bit harder because then you're having to squat and and do things a little bit differently but as it is I'm good going left to right on there that's funny when I'm painting paint down next to baseboard and when I'm painting the baseboard I like to go from left to right but when I'm painting walls I like to go from right to left it's just it's just how how I like to do it I mean is there a right and wrong way whichever way rocks your boat whichever way makes it easier feels easier for you okay try it both ways find out which way you like to do it do it and then and then try to keep doing it the same way okay and you'll you'll get good you'll get good at it okay you you're not gonna you're not gonna be perfect you're not gonna be perfect but you're gonna be good enough and if you think you you've gotten too much I gotta load up put a little bit more on my paintbrush if you think you've got too much you can always go back and touch up your baseboard okay it's funny sometimes I'll get a wall and I'll have quite a few little oopsies but then I look on another wall and it looks like wow that looks better than the other one what's what gives well that's because the top edge of your baseboard it's not always crisp and clean depending you see I got I got overage right there and I've got a wet sponge over here I think I'm going to take that off
