- What is the best paint for dark or deep base colors? In this video we go over the basic process to paint a room and why we recommend Sherwin Williams Emerald in their matt finish for painting with a deep base or dark color.

I like this tray because it will hold a gallon of paint and you can use the empty bucket for your brush.

This is my house, and the paint he used is SW Naval in an emerald matte finish. But as you saw, he did a dark primer first.
Hello ,i would like to ask ,why he did it first with darker? To ge more depth? And how much layers did he put on this dark primer? One or two?
I just painted my accent wall, bedroom door and closet door in a high gloss Naval paint color. I love this color. Makes such a bold statement. I had to do like three coats with high quality paint.
1) Ceilings
2) Walls
3) Woodwork
in that order,

What primer do you use when painting black to white?
That could take 4 coats if you are going to a clean white. the goal is to change to white as soon as you can . So start with any white. You may want to use a good white primer like Kiltz 2 . something covers well
I would say that normally with light colours dark blue white woodwork makes sense to do it in reverse
Just seen the Jesus creepers 😮great work footwear 😂
@@TheSmithyt no because of spray from roller etc it's always that order ?
I love that color and the finish on that paint! Looks great
What's the best way to fix bleeding caused by a poor tape job onto the lighter colored ceiling?
The text book way that we were taught in apprenticeship was ceiling first then walls and then woodwork last but I can understand why you do the frames first when using a darker colour. I think it’s easier to cut the wall into the frames when going vertical. Get a straighter line that’s just me anyways. However it’s easier to cut the skirting into the wall horizontal as well as the wall into the ceiling horizontal that’s just me like if I’m being picky but most the time when I’m doing multiple jobs I will do it In the order I said before
Always paint baseboards first. If you paint them last, it's much harder in my experience.
Humm.....for me its harder to keep a straight edge if I paint them first.
Hey sir, I recently painted my room black and I have a problem.
Previously it was half white oil/enamel and half white normal paint. The painter painted two layers of white primer, then above those, it took 3 layers of black paint on each wall to get all black. The black we used is non-enamel, called “golden supercryl”, written on it “water base paint based upon high quality polymers pigments and fillers” and ingredients are: “acrylic binder, pigment, fillers, water.
current problem: paint completely dried, but whenever I touch the walls lightly with my hands or if I press harder, it leaves a harsh white mark on it, it looks rubbish.. I think a proper description is, the black paint is ashy, if you touch it or rub, you can literally draw on it with your clean hand!
I bought higher quality black paint, also “supercryl”, it’s much much better and looks better, but it also has the same white mark problem, but to a much lesser degree, can you help?
I'm not sure about supercryl, use the emerald matt or satin finish. We have also used Behr dynasty flat/matt finish with good results
Do you not cut in with a brush before the roller work 🤔 or have i been missed informed all my life. Nice roller stick tho 👌 😍 😋 😏 👏
yes I usually do cut in first
Why didn’t he do that same technique with the tape closer to the ceiling? When you loop up the paint is all in waves 🧐
ceiling edge is to jagged. Have to cut in the best you can
What primer do I use before o paint the wall black and another wall grey
Good adherence primer preferably black or gray or white if nothing else.
On this one I used some left over SW supper paint satin that was a dark color. Use that same black paint that you will be doing the finish with. Unless you have some sort reason specific reason for a primer like a water stain or some other problem that you need to block out
Interesting that you can't cover with a sheen, any missing bits. My little bathroom has a few spots like that. 🙄
Lovely job, and thanks for the advice, I was afraid to start using dark colours because of the issues you've described. Your technique for using tape helped a lot too.
thanks
What is it with the Open Toe sandals as working 'shoes'?? ugh...ugh...
Very neat. Love the colour
I make games and my house is Blue
Cool story bro
Hey Rick! Awesome work!
Makes a room look/feel much smaller, especially in rooms which are already small.
That color looks great. We are considering this color for our library room
Nice!
is this Oil Paint ? And Can We Do Oil Paint With Rollor
God job man !
Love the colour and paint job ♥️🏴England
No reason toe really use oil. unless there was some reason for an oil primer
What color paint?
It's called Naval by sherwin williams
@@whiteshadow666777 naval is more blue.
Looks like Hale navy
This is SW Naval!
Is it okay to paint over a black wall with another dark colour? Or will it need a white coat first?
I want to know this too
yes paint over the wall with the dark color. if you use white you are making the finish harder to cover
i was painting my closet (2nd project in my life) and i had a super cheap 1dollar roller. the issue i was having, the roll was coming off all the time. i used it before. so annoying. i never used a more expensive one and it probably makes a huge difference. does it also get damaged after 1 use or you can go with it for many projects?
Even expensive ones can get damaged after 1 use.
What was this color exactly?
I had to use Satin for a project and needed 4 coats to finally get it even, BUT it was still streaky as far as the sheen. How can I avoid that? When I back rolled it or 2nd backroll it was already taking off the color. Should I have added some paint thinner?
I never had that issue with satin but I take the time to wait for first coat to dry overnight and then next morning do the second coat or even a third coat if it is necessary another day. Letting it dry thoroughly does the trick.
I've had this problem in certain areas, not all. I used a zinnser stop undercoat, which blocks anything that might cause that.
Great video! What size nap do you like for matte paint?
I dont remember but it likely a 1/2 inch or less
Can you tell me what is the color of the wall in the thumbnail
pretty sure from what I remember it was Sherwin Williams Naval
great tips! thank you
your welcome
What is your method for doing the bottom of the wall?
@@TheWESTSIDE1967 Thank you for your reply.
Your expertise & your channel are great.
@@lahaza6515 Don't have my own channel but like to help, there's always an easy way & a hard way to do anything 👍
Just cut in with brush and roll down as low as you can to the base board
@@nashvillehousepainters I was wondering about that myself! Their design is almost impossible to tape; if I cut it, I would have to use such little paint on my brush, that it would take me 5 coats! And in a large room, it would drive me insane. I tried! I ended up buying a 2' metal strip w/a handle made for that purpose, but the walls HAVE to be flat, or it still ends up looking crappy.
@@turtleman5111 I dont know of a flat finnish that works in a dark base color
Tell me the name and code of that color
SW Naval
I use Behr with great results. Never had that issue with the hat band on top and I use a technique that prevents that as well. I had tried flat, eggshell and satin and great results.
The Behr dynasty in dark colors is pretty good but still dries a little to fast for me.
@@nashvillehousepainters what color did you use in this video?
Looks fantastic
SW Naval @@jakelapasnick8513
My corners end up to dark! I am using a dark greenish color and roll , for some reson my corners and lines under the siling are darker
You probably need another coat but in the future try using Behr marquee dark colors have it’s pigment in the base and more colorant to achieve the color in the can but colorant has no covering capabilities. Pro tip
Sorry dark colors have no pigment
Some colors do need another extra coat on the body of the wall not the cut lines.
