Thanks for the tips! I just redid my room and this made it so much easier, looks amazing too ❤
Awesome, so glad you found it helpful!
This tutorial video are very helpful.regards from Malaysia.keep it up.
Thank you! Will do!
PERFECT! Wanted a two tone wall and was afraid to do itl I don't like to use tape due to past bad experiences but this technique is the BEST!!! THANK YOU!
Glad you found this helpful!
Getting ready to do this on a bedroom...thanks for helpful tips!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for this video
I love the paint color.
thanks! me too!!
Thank you.
Peace ❤🎊🕊be with you . Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching. :)
Just the video I needed! No chalk in site! I'm going to get cracking now 😚
Glad the video was helpful for you! Let us know how your project went. Feel free to comment if there's anything specific you want to see in a future video!
This is so helpful thank you, just about to do this with yellow and cream. If I want to paint a small border separating the colours do I just do exactly the same but one more time? Your vid is now my guide for my sitting room. Thanks! 😎😎😎
Yes, if you wanted to do a small border, you'd just repeat the process again. :) Glad this was helpful. Have fun on your room!
Thanks for this video.
You're welcome
How long did u wait from painting below the tape with the top color to dry before painting bottom
What a difference!
Yes, it did make a huge difference.
Beautiful 💚💚💚💚
Thank you! 😊
@@MakingManzanita A friend of mine needs this doing and I'll be the one attempting it (even though I'm usually quite confident) but your technique has spurred me on and up, so thank YOU for sharing🥂🤗
Great stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it
This looks amazing - I’m going to do this in my spare bedroom using black on the lower half. How long did you leave the white to dry before taping with the yellow frog tape? And when you did the white over the frog tape, how long did you leave that to dry before starting the green? Thanks heaps!!
Hi there, we left the white paint to dry until it was dry to the touch...probably an hour or two.
Great idea for a very fresh look to your room . I’m not very tall so would make the top colour lower down by about 2’ 6” , just being in my seventies doesn’t stop me from trying ! [ no ladders , I’d be too wobbly on them ] 👍🏼👍🏼❤️🌹 🌹
yes, you can totally adjust the height of the line! You go !
@@MakingManzanita 🤗 Rock on ! ❤️
Thank you ❤️
You’re welcome 😊
Genius.
thanks, glad you liked it!
Hi great video. We are doing this for our living room. Which white did you use for the top white. Was it the same paint as the ceiling a "brilliant white"? Thank you
The white color on the top is "Falling Snow" by Behr Paint.rstyle.me/+Sq5u0SX6b30gmki0D7CV_A
@@MakingManzanita thank you!
Great video and straight to the point... Is the type of paint you used emulsion?
No we just used Behr latex interior paint.
I was wondering, how did you remove the pencil line you drew to help marking the tape. Super handy video btw!
The pencil mark was covered up by paint. When you're putting the tape down, just be sure to align it on the top of the line so the line gets painted over.
I now have super straight lines in-between the colours with an ugly pencil line in-between 👍
I like the tan.much better however what a great idea thank you
I will try this with blue and white awesome job and idea. I don't mean that you did a bad job.its just me not liking green but I love what you did.so hope there is no misunderstanding. I appreciate your video
This would like great with blue and white :) good luck.
@@MakingManzanita thank you
What happens if you need to do a second coat on the bottom? Do you still remove the tape?
No don't remove the tape until you're done painting.
Hi! Im just wondering what the difference is between the laser line and the pencil line? Why was it easier with the pencil line? Thanks
We tried the laser level a couple of times and it wasn't accurate, so we switched to using the pencil instead.
Hi there. If I am painting a wall that was painted years ago (light gray) and then I want the bottom half to now be dark green do I still did to dig up my light gray and repaint over the tape before the green? It's the color that's currently and has been on my walls.
Also for taping is it best to keep one continuous piece of tape as much as possible? What do you do for the corners? Try to keep the tape going and press it in?
yes, if you can get ahold of the old paint color, I would highly recommend the method of painting over the seam of the tape. It is worth it.
Yes, try to use as much as a continuous piece of tape as possible. Just press the tape into the corners as much as you can (you can use a ruler or putty knife too) and then keep going.
@@MakingManzanita thank you!! Appreciate the follow up and tips. I'll be painting tomorrow hopefully!
Awesome - did you apply two coats of paint?
Yes we did two coats of both colors
Hi! Why did you paint the underline of the tape with white first and than the green? Can't you just do it with the green paint?
The paint block technology of the FrogTape is activated by latex in the paint, so if you first paint over the bottom side of the tape with the 1st color it will help essentially "seal" the paint line. This will you'll prevent the paint from bleeding under the tape due to texture and any other imperfections in your wall. It's definitely worth the extra time to do this step!
Hi did you use a under coat or primer, or was it just a straight paint over?.
Hello. The paint I was using was a Paint+Primer so an extra coat of primer was not needed.
@@MakingManzanita Thank you.
Hiya nice colour. I presume you did two coats of the green. Did you not remove the tape inbetween coats? Otherwise it dries 😏
Yes, we did two coats of green. Yes the paint dries in between coats, but there's something about removing it when the top coat has just been painted that helps with that crisp line.
@@MakingManzanita sorry your response to this comment isn’t very clear, did you do one coat of paint, then remove the frog tape before doing the second coat of paint or at the very end? If you did it at the very end does that mean you did the second coat when the first coat hadn’t fully dried? I’m new to painting so not sure how long to leave it before a second coat
@@kathrynswalwell2107 2 coats of green paint. Leave the tape on until the end. Wait about 2 hours between coats and then remove the tape right after you're done with the second coat while the paint is still wet.
Thanks for asking this Polly. This was my question as well 😁
yea you gotta use that frog tape the old school stuff just doesnt cut it
Totally agree!
Does the bottom paint have to be dry before u remove the tape?
No. Sooner you remove it the better, to prevent peeling the paint off whilst removing the tape
@jhilt90 but let it dry berween coats I'm assuming
@@djpaulsid once it’s had the required coats, I tend to remove it straight away. Saves it being on the wall any longer than it needs to, causing it to pull paint off with the tape
Yes, this... let the coats dry appropriate time in between coats and then after last coat, remove immediately.
How long did you let the underlying color dry ,to seal the tape?
Probably about 2 hours.
Thank very much, great video
How did your husband get such a smooth line on the baseboard where the green meets without painting over? Noticed there wasn't tape, but did you guys use a edger or something like that?? Or just very steady hands? 😂
Steady hand, good paint brush and lots of practice! We have a whole TH-cam video and blog post in the works with so more tips coming soon!
Have a good cutting in brush like a Picasso, wipe the access paint from on the outiside bristles of the brush back into the bucket, then just allow the brush to do the work for you as you angle the brush. You don't need particularly steady hands or a lot of experiance, just practice in one medium sized room, and you'll get good by the end.
That wall is still rough thou..!
Not sure what you mean by "rough". We do have a skip trowel texture on our walls throughout the house.
Good idea but that green color is so 90s. It’s a strange color for a bedroom wall especially. I guess what matters is that you are happy with it. That Forrest green color isn’t ready for a come back yet.
To each their own :) I love it.
Cant believe people go out of their way to insult your choice of colour!! Green is so in with all the botanical stuff.
@@katyparker2081 I love a good retro moment but only if there’s a twist. Forrest green with a touch of blue, let’s say. However, full on Forrest green exactly the same shade as every interior in the 90s is haunting. It’s a color that has made a comeback but I’m not here for it, especially in a bedroom.
