Tools List:
Paint brushes in a variety of sizes [amzn.to/32XWhIl]
Paint roller [amzn.to/32WEscB]
Putty knife [amzn.to/2OkBzhN]
Caulking gun [amzn.to/2LDVVRm]
Utility knife [amzn.to/2QlHGF0]
Shopping List:
Paint [amzn.to/2O9YXhJ]
Drop cloths [amzn.to/2LGsEpb]
Painter’s tape [amzn.to/2ObiY7K]
Microfiber roll for paint roller [amzn.to/2ObRa2S]
Liquid mask [amzn.to/30aQy4P]
Paint additive [amzn.to/31z1JB7]
Paintable caulking [amzn.to/30uikVo]
Steps:
1. Before starting work, remove or protect any furniture in the room with drop cloths. Protect where the floor meets the wall with painter’s tape.
2. When painting, always start at the top of the room and work your way down. Always pour paint into a separate container.
3. Paint the ceiling with a matte paint and the roller.
4. Paint the trim, including window trim, chair rails, and door casings with a semi-gloss paint and a 1 _” synthetic paint brush. Start from the top and work down.
5. For painting around windows, apply a liquid mask to the glass with a paint brush instead of using painter’s tape. The liquid acts like a spot primer if it gets on the sash, and it will protect the glass while painting.
6. Once the mask turns clear, add a second coat and wait for that to turn clear as well.
7. Paint the window frame, starting from the inside closest to the glass, and work your way out. To keep paint from getting into the cracks between the window and the jamb, slide a putty knife in the crack and drag it down as you paint. Add a paint additive if necessary to thin out the paint being applied around the windows.
8. Once the window frame is painted, paint the casing, then the window sill. For the side of the casing, keep the brush parallel to the wall and drag the brush all the way down the side of the casing.
9. Apply a second coat to the window trim, chair rails, and door casings.
10. Paint the walls using eggshell paint in most rooms. Low traffic rooms, like a bedroom, can use a matte finish.
11. Cut the edges around the walls with a 2 _” synthetic brush. Carefully drag the brush in a motion away from the ceiling and trim to prevent it from spilling over.
12. Paint the rest of the walls with a microfiber roller.
13. Before applying the final coat, using paintable caulking to fill in any gaps between trim, baseboards, etc.
14. Apply a second coat to the walls.
15. Clean up the drop cloths and painter’s tape. To remove the liquid mask, cut around the glass with a utility knife and peel it back slowly.

Finally Mauro got a segment on TOH, guy is a pure artist if you havent seen his older works
Ankit Choubey Almost as good as Bob Ross
He's also the worlds smartest painter. Only a true master gets paid to instruct the client to do his work. 😜🤪😂👍👍👍
"It's shinier than I thought, wanted more of a eggshell or matte."
"No."
He does the same thing in this one.
th-cam.com/video/oR20LbydCYo/w-d-xo.html
"We want to keep the original finish underneath"
Removes anyways.
I love him lol
@@kipbush5887 that's because it's impossible to keep the original finish underneath.
@G H, Impossible to clean.
If Consuela from Family Guy was a man.
He did a couple of things which I really like. Firstly he did the trims, it's easier to cut the trims into the wall, then cut the walls into the trim, and he advised to start the window joinery from the inside and work outwards. Not everybody does this. This guy really knows his stuff.
Mike Bell that comment was 1 year ago 😂
Mike Bell smd😭
If you paint enough, you'd come to do this anyway. It's called experience.
A lot said this and that. Little did you know that this guy won Best Of Boston Painter for over decades. Just FYI. I have coordinate work with him doing floors and have seen NOTHING but spectacular work more than 17 years.
Beeps Creeps lier
So the secret to professional results is to be a professional. Gotcha.
Brett von Henneberg-Römhild it’s a how-to video lol he’s a great teacher.
It’s just painting. Not surgery
Regardless of your statement, “ best of. Best “ is a vote nothing more usually on a small scale . I saw rolling and brushwork that are very low to mid level at. best . No worries... I’d like to see a German apprentice blow him away in minutes
As a "teacher" Mauro's consistency produced a good result for Becka. What a good job!
Love how Mauro showed the difference in the various kinds of paints that are available on the market, and what specific job they are typical used for. Lots of great tips and info!
Mauro is great, really knows his stuff. Hope to see more of him on the show
Love Mauro! I'm so glad he's remained part of the TOH family! He's good in his work, and he's excellent in this video!
Wow cool trick with the spackling knife and that clear window stuff. Great advice!!
In the process of closing on a home that needs some serious love in the paint department lol. Glad I saw this video!!!!!
Amazing video! I live in Florida, and have been researching DIY painting, and this is the most helpful video I found. Very clear, and straightforward. I have already finished one bedroom, and it came out great. Thanks!!
I love all the learning that happens from this show!
Liguid Mask! That is awesome! I so will be using this the next time I paint. Thank you!
Liquid masking works on carpet too. Applying with a foam brush is key. Pulls right up when done, just make sure it's completely dry before removing so it comes up easier
Never have heard about this masking paint. What an easy way to clean up! Will use this on my next project!
Awesome video and that liquid mask is the stuff future legends lol. Wished this stuff was around when i was a teenager . Painting with my grandfather was my first paid job I ever worked. I learned alot but as time went by its easy to see that i still have much to relearn.
Wow! Super impressed with the liquid mask, a great tip!
Nice to see that others are showcased beyond the typical gang. Sharing the knowledge and the spotlight is always good all around. Go Mauro
Let us see more of his work and help please!
This guy needs his own TH-cam channel. Great educational teacher for DIY
The liquid mask alone gets this video a 👍! That is an incredible product; first time seeing it. Don't ask me where I've been--obviously not painting, lol.
"Liquid mask." This is a new product to me. I had no idea it existed. And it does a fantastic job. Thanks
Thank you so much for these vids! I’ve learned so much! 💕👏🏽
how to paint like a pro: have the customer do it for you
I might implement this really affordable method as well, get the customer do it so I can go to work elsewhere until they finishing the job. Then I rock up to collect the money.
OVERLXRD that’s funny
That is funny. However she gained a lot of knowledge doing the work under his guidance. That is the goal of the show.
OVERLXRD 🤣
This man knows what he's talking about. I've never heard of the liquid masker but I will most definitely be looking into it!
It's been around for years.
Ive also used this window film for big jobs can also be sprayed from airless sprayers i love it way faster than masking
Quick note do not use on textured glass
The tony Montana of painting "you got some paint for me", good job brother 👏 good customer service and product showcase for the client, there's more than just painting, there's color coordinating for cliental as well.
Helpful information, thank you for sharing !!
there are some great pro tips here! Great info.
She is a good painter. Precise and careful. Steady hand.
Haha I love his commentary too, “NIIIICE”
“Oh that’s lookin good already”
“Oh perfect perfect yes”
He def loves painting
"I'm coming up behind you"
Dude recognized that tremendous booty.
I do like the color selection. Nice work!
The liquid mask is awesome. Didn't know about that trick.
Mario or Mauro & Rebecca or Rebekkah, great job!! LOVE the clear paint mask!
House Painting techniques are so important, amazing, love what your doing. Important to know when maintaining your home.
Great video! I’m glad he showed the masking paint.I can think of a lot of uses for it. These This Old House videos have the most trolls ever. All these “experts” in the comments need to make their own videos to show all these licensed contractors how to do it.
Tony Baggett I agree, and I’d love to hear what kind of training the so called experts have
Aly Nicoco , Many , many years of experience. There does seem to be a couple of real trolls here too leaving rude comments.
Tony Baggett my sentiments exactly. Great video
The arrogance is staggaring sometimes.
Hi Mauro, you mentioned rolling the walls with a 9” sleeve but here’s the secret! 2 sizes of sleeves I use on all my paint projects. 13 mil for walls and a 19 mil for ceilings! 2 major reason they carry more paint and avoid lap marks especially on flat ceilings! Don the gooseneck guy professional painter Ottawa Canada! I do not recommend a 10 mil. Cheers!
I'd ruff up the surfaces first with a quick sanding. Might have considered using a primer. Cutting horizontal is the tuffest cut to do.Good tips for beginners.
Came out nice!
I didn't know that liquid mask existed. Brilliant.
I really like it. Lo Mas Importante es que explicas cómo se debe de hacer y de la manera correcta.
Its nice to see a painting video where they actually remove the outlet covers. I’ve seen quite a few videos where they leave the covers on and paint around them
7:08
4:11 “way dip” 😂😂😂
That was awesome.
I dig that color
This is relaxing
Thanks for the tips.. it will surely help
Thank you!
i have the yellow knife its a dewalt pretty sturdy knife even better when you pair it with a sharp blade
Juan Saravia they’re good for sure. Personally I like the Milwaukee fastback with the blade storage in the handle. It’s what I use daily.
the window protector , great idea
useing tape makes job lot easier plus key is useing the right tape for the job 💯
Tip put some tape on the egde of the can than the paint doesn't stick to the can so you can still put the lid on
I'm coming behind you
With a roller😎😎😎
Where do you get the liquid mask? I've never seen it in Home depot or Lowes. I have a large paint project to do and I hate taping!
Didn't once see the sandpaper come out. Sanding promotes adhesion on that trim and knocks off all the little fuzzies on the walls that you know are there.
Yeah i agree need to give that wood work and walls a key before painting so it gives the paint something to bite to.
Correct, always lightly sand first to create a mechanical bond. Especially on areas like windows that take a lot of abuse
I don’t paint but when I do I spend half the time tapping ahahahah gotta get the perfect straight lines and if you put the tape around your wrist you still have both hands free and it’s easy to grab two foot section of the tape
Befor paint , first sanding , clear dust, isolate with tape every corner , primer and painting
Good they changed that hideous window color. Looks a lot better.
Wow its just like painting
I mean the time it takes to apply a liquid mast, you could have put some masking tape down and painted the window
Nice v nice work
Nice!
There's painter's tape near the end!
Really sad that "wall to ceiling" cut had no explanation...
Don't you need to remove the masking paint off the 'to be painted' area before painting over with the new paint (or just paint over the masking paint anyway)? Didn't see that mentioned in the video...
they got the right amigo for that. i tell u what 😎
I presume some of the masking liquid gets painted over on the window frame. Does that affect the paint bonding? And what about all the fine paint spatters that fly off the roller onto your freshly painted trim? It's happened to me!
Larry J the liquid masker can be painted over no problem.
He explained the process a little more in another episode. The masking liquid will stick to the trim.
It's time to remove and replace the thermostat.
Ancient
you'd be surprised how many households still have that, very reliable too
Don't need a $200+ talking Nest thermostat.
spikefivefivefive nah those are probably the simplest and best thermostats known to human kind.
They got Mercury in 'em.
I love painting but I have trouble with ceilings. I did two coats from ceiling white to SW alabaster and it still looks like crap.
Exactly what paint additive did Mauro use and why? Also, what liquid mask did he use? Those Amazon links they included are outdated, sadly.
I am going to be buying a old house, almost 160 years old. And it has some wood paneling. I am not looking to pull it down but I’d like to paint it, without the wood paneling grain showing. What would be the best method, I was thinking a wood putty.
Gray! How original!
What nap of roller do you use. I saw 3 different nap sizes. For egg shell ,or semigloss
Karate kid for adults up down up down stroke left right left right stay focused very good now I go fishing, do whole room.
Hello i have 3 questions
1. Semi glace white is colour only for wall or its semi glace primer?
2. The brush for windows how do u call it and how many inches
3. WHat kind of brush you use for room borders
Thank you
wow I really want to get a liquid mask..
Rumour has it Becka is still painting those windows to this day
Nice video
He totally smashed!👍
Where do you buy liquid masking? Big Box store? Paint supply store?
I have so many questions... 0:55 But why? 3:37 Why is he pouring paint out of a different side of the can than it has already been poured out of? (3:39 Cut to him pouring out of a different can.) 3:51 What paint additive? 6:44 I agree pros don't need tape, but then why not also freehand the windows? The liquid mask might prevent paint from adhering to the edge of the glass (which seals the junction), and if you get it on the sash you'll have to touch up when it's removed.
Is the liquid mask the same as the RC body liquid mask?
Great educational video! Check out the new Richard 2 1/2 gooseneck flexible paint brush extension for your ceiling cutting. Super light brush! Don’t need to go up and down a ladder! Now you can use this unique brush to reach the unreachable hard to reach places! Would be nice to a video using this new innovative tool. Cheers!
This product would be amazing for painting French doors. Big Time saver! Great tip! Cheers!
6:35 why she pushing the brush and not pulling? Im certainly no pro, but whenever I paint, I found pulling easier, and had more control.
You are correct. Always pull the brush. Start and finish pulling slightly away from the edge
Finally she are getting those tai chi classes she was dreaming with
Good
the cutting in along the top near the ceiling is miles out
How long does it take for a beginner to paint a room compared to an expert?
I had a heart attack when he started painting the glass window, then he said it was masking liquid. *instant relief*
Yeah until he gets some on the woodwork which then you’re screwed cause those areas won’t be covered with paint, roght?
Gray is popular for the same reason avocado green was in the seventies. There is nothing like fresh paint, and since everyone is using gray....
I am having trouble with when I paint, after the paint has dried, it
looks rough in certain areas, almost like its been sanded. I've tried
changing the primer from oil based primer to water based and then when I
paint, it stills looks like it has been sanded. Do you have any
suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong?
Could be a number of things .
Are you keeping a wet edge when painting ?
If it's timber is it sanded properly ?
Is there gunk build up on your brush or in paint ?
Juan kept asking her to do long strokes down. Nice work amigo
1:21 Died Laughing
Brad Langella C'mon man! Aaaha! 👍
Was it like ''that's what she said''?
I Thought It Was Just Me LMFAO.
Then there's 4:13 😂
@@Akimori also 7:12
How about using non voc paints like linseed oil?
liquid masking? is that the PVA glue?
Liquid mask is cool but I’m guessing you can’t be sloppy with it and get it on the woodwork or you’re screwed, so you have to cut that in, So thinking tape is probably the way to go
Beautiful, now how do u paint, popcorn ceiling?
Queeney Warren Same way pretty much. You just need to cut in with a brush a lot wider- it's best to brush around 3 inches from the edge. Then use a roller cover with a 3/4 inch nap. Half inch is fine, it just takes longer.
First get some microwave popcorn. Heat it in your microwave until all the kernels have popped. Second, place some popped kernels directly in your mouth, chewing them slightly to add saliva. This will aid in the next step. Third, spit the slightly chewed kernels all over your ceiling until it is finely coated with a light dusting of masticated popcorn. Then simply paint over your popcorn ceiling with you favorite color of paint and you're done.
Two fingers always just like this ✌🏼
lmao...that cracked me up
Where can i buy liquid mask?
Where's roger ?
Should you not sand the window frames first to provide a key?
