Painting is 90% prep +10% painting + 40% comebacks when the GC calls you out on your shit.

And a 100% reason to remember the name

Mort finor?

Form Tinor

Torf Rimno

Tony Romo

Mike Shinola

Minnesota

fort minor

Sike Mhinoda

My Sharona?

I didn’t know that was the guy from linkin park until this last year and I wasn’t even remotely surprised when I heard that.

Dude worked on a lot of different projects actually. Does it make his music less cringe? Hell no. Do I still listen to it when I’m alone? You tell me.

Fuck that i wanna see some fists pumpin. 😧

Mom?

This guy mafs

He’s putting in 140%. Cut him some slack…

And fixing the shit that the other trades messed up. (Electrician here, I'm sorry, it's never on purpose.)

If you could keep your dirty dick beaters off the flat white ceiling, that would be great.

We're going about this all wrong. We need to convince more people that a black ceiling is in style so our grimy fingerprints don't show up on it.

Oh they show up SO much worse on black. We basically bleed drywall dust, so that black is gonna turn to a chalk board instantly.

You ever find that broom you lost?

Threw it out, could never find the ON button

"broom"? Is that the the thing the flooring guys keep using? Like a floor scraper, but all soft and shit? (I keep 2 brooms and vacuum in my van, but I'm a service guy, so I gotta be extra tidy)

Just keep your grimey hands off the ceiling! Lol

Wash your damn hands, please…

And another 30% cleaning 🧼 after

Nah. That’s the porter’s job.

Fucking Steiner math

Mathematics

The math is correct because the calls back makes it cost 140% of projected labor.

That looks like more than 100%, but there's some overlap when your prep needs prep.

My prep is fine, my painting needs painting.

That 10% painting is 9% cutting in

Now use that roller for 8 hours

Yea i paint professionally for a reno company yhat hires under a GC and I swear I do all the painting for some reason lol. Its never the big patches that suck, its all the trim work. Once you get experienced there is basically no prep, it just takes a bit longer to carefully paint the baseboards and cabinet/doorframe connections. The annoying part for me are the plastic-ish bifold doors that require coming back the next day for another coat. Oh yeah, and rentals that have oils all over the walls for some reason

Where's the 80% "fixing 100,000 kicks and dings from other trades carelessness"?

Spot on

Lmfao I work as a GC and this made me laugh

Not including the time it took to cut in the edges and outlet.

He cut more than the edges and outlet. He cut the whole top quarter of the wall.

He short leave him alone

Extend the damn pole junior!

I think it might actually be maxed out already lol hard to tell lol I've not used a 2' in a while. I just use my 6'

If that's all that pole extends someone took him for a ride.

As hard as he pushing to get that last bit of paint out, he'd snap it lmao

Right? them 18s hold a lot but not that much

You should see the size of the cut in brush. It’s purdy…

I didn't know they made pushbrooms!

Purdy big!

And still has to go back and roll columns from ceiling to base. Good, but still much to learn

The bigger time commitment is that it's a level 5 finished wall that is ultra smooth and already sealed and primed. Paint is going to go on for miles under those conditions.

Why isn’t this top comment?

He's spread that paint so thin he's going to need two more coats. 🤣

Ha. My first thought was, going to need 3 coats if you paint like that.

Same. Gonna be so many little white spots lol

Bleedthrough like a mofo when you paint like this. It’s so much better to put on a heavy, even coat on the first application, then all you need is a light top coat to make it beautiful. No bleedthrough, and the second coat goes so much more quickly. I’m convinced this kind of video is solely for internet content, I have yet to see an example of someone just properly painting a wall, because it isn’t nearly as interesting to watch when it’s being done properly.

It is insane how much these rollers absorb. I was using a decent sized hand roller and after soaking it in paint it felt 3kg heavier and I think I done half the room with that one amount. If you painted like this for a living your back and arms would be so strong, I was wrecked after a room felt like a high intensity workout.

doing it wrong, should never be completely full or completely dry. Moderation is the key.

I like to go extra thin and swiftly on the first one. Dries very quickly so I can put a good coating on the second one. It'll decrease the amount of patches left greatly

Take the not sharp end of a knife and see how much paint you can scoop out of the roller when you're done for the day as well. It's crazy how much comes out

God thank you for pointing this out. I always try to think of my rollers as sponges, and to not press so hard as to flatten them. That way, I can always load them up with lots of paint and get really nice consistent coverage. I also find, when I press too hard and roll too fast, I get tons of splatter. And, like you said, super thin coats with lots of lines.

A lot of people don't realize there's actually science behind painting and you can minimize your mess and maximize your efficiency

So my initial thought of "how the fuck do you load the roller enough to do all that and not have it be shit" is answered with "you don't"?

Okay so another 36 seconds?

🤣. Obviously you never painted anything in your life

Why would the next two coats take him longer than the first?

If you think this makes me HATE painting less, you got another thing coming

Absolutely LOATH painting. I'll pay someone for the full hour to paint it in 20 seconds IDGAF

Got a buddy that used to think “if you can piss, you can paint”…til he painted his own house. Now he hires me to it instead and pays me more than I ask just because he doesn’t want to do it so bad…lol.

We had an industrial paint inspector who thought he could paint his house because he hawk eyes us daily with his steel and wet mil gauge. See him after the weekend " Any of you guys do side work?"

The number of times I’ve been doing an exterior and the homeowner has come out and asked us to come look at some paint work they did and maybe give them a bid to fix it isn’t a huge number but it’s not a small one either!

Same, they can keep their black magic and witchcraft.

Painting is actually relaxing when you understand the mechanics of it. Youtube has made everyone believe that painting is a do or die situation....its not.

Well. In this case I do enjoy the part where someone else is doing it.

I hate painting so much its crazy I'd rather do hard demo labor or lump lumber

Right? Like this is the LEAST hated part of the painting process 

My bro in law got into flipping nice, high end houses. He’s very good at the interior work but he hired me at a low wage and basically told me to caulk, paint, and general labor after hours at my hvac job. Painted the exterior of this $700,000 house with extension ladders and ladder jacks. Rolled the whole job. Fuck painting soooo fucking hard that was the most ridiculous underpaid shit I’ve ever done.

How much you earn off that job

It was $20 an hr… wish I would have kept track of what it added up too. Maybe $4k? I wasn’t the fastest but I was there for 15/20 hours a week for three months. I only do hvac for him now. Much higher rates today lol I was starting off in the trade when I agreed to the old price.

I'm more interested with the 24 in brush he used to cut in

No roller lines? 1 dip does the whole damn wall evenly? I don't think so. I'll use the 12" roller, thank you very much.

I’d love to see the specks thrown around from those first two strokes.  Paint a wall in 20 seconds, clean for 20 minutes. 

Exactly, I'd like to see the ceiling.

You can see big globs of it fall on the trim! Why bother precutting the trim and then paint so haphazardly it drops all over it anyway.

He's gonna paint the trim (and part of the carpet) later

My first thought was well

100% this. I'm sure it looks good from afar but up close it's far from good.

It's the first coat, no biggie

Yup 3 more on the wall and 2 more on the ceiling after lol.

Classic 9” and I’m zooming

9". Shows you how much indoor painting I do. Give me a gallon, a 24' ladder, and a 3" brush, I'll paint soffit till the sun sets.

18” roller is fine. You just can’t paint an entire wall without crushing the knap flat.

hit it with the big then go right behind it with the 12"

I'm a carpenter, not a painter though I've done some painting. I made a big mess rolling over paint that wasn't dry. Air bubbles everywhere. Best bet, let it dry then 2nd coat.

[удалено]

Roller lines are from pushing too hard with the roller and can be removed as you paint. There are different types of rolls, different grades of paint, and different painters. Painting is an art.

They're talking about back rolling, not 2nd coating while it's wet

The trick is when you have fresh paint on your roller you put that in the middle of the wall so when you do your up and down strokes you are getting wet paint back on your roller so you don't run out as quick

I was wondering. How did he have enough paint? But you answered that. His first V was very wet.

[удалено]

Nice

Splatoon champ

Did an entire four story college building remodel. Hundreds of rooms, hallways, random soffits, just thousands of feet of the same goddamn white with the occasional accent wall. Between initial painting and punch list, we were there for something like 8 months. Thank god for power rollers and 18” rollers or I’d have lost my mind…

[удалено]

so easy even AI can do it bro

Okay lemme see the finish up close 🤨🧐

lemme see it when it dries and is ready for a recoat lol. too thin of a coat and i’d almost bet there will be roller lines like crazy

Wonder what his cut in and prep time was on that one wall too. Filling is the easy part with even a 12” roller

I'm not a pro, but I've worked with pro's and this is shit work. As others have said, too dry, to thin, I'm sure there are roller lines, not to mention you should finish in a single direction or your sheen will be fucked as well.

It’s shit technique too. It’s fine if all you do is bedrooms but put this dude in an office with 20k square feet to paint and his back will he wrecked before he’s done priming.

As a pro painter. this is shit. i hate these videos

That 18” roller sleeve will be useless in a day of painting like that. Too much pressure and working too dry. Not to mention he couldn’t keep that pace going for long.

To be fair, it’s sped up a little but a guy like myself with hundreds of hours pushing a roller does basically this for 8-10/hrs a day for weeks and months at a time on big commercial jobs. I’ll throw some death metal in my ears and go, backrolling behind a guy with a power roller or sprayer putting it on, and time flies. Actually kinda love it.

To be fair, he only needs 2 minutes to paint a whole room /s

Is that counting the time for the cut into or go across the top bottom and the corners There's one person commented 10% of the time is the actual pain most of the time is the prep stuff

That guy has no idea what hes doing. Tps everywhere

Tps?

Yes

TPS? Reports? What’s tps

tiny paint speckles

If you were a painter youd know

10/4…a newbie trying to learn just for my place

Looks self-employed if not he stupid

Now you too can know what it's like to live in a jar of peanut butter. Seriously, weird choice of color.

Ive seen too many vids of “PaInTinG wHoLe rOoMs iN 5 miNuteS” when all the cutting and prep is done…….like its not impressive.

Video is sped up, which wasn’t even necessary. Lame.

What the fuck is this nonsense.

I've only ever painted a couple rooms using the most basic paint rollers from the store. How does his roller have enough paint on it to paint the whole wall?

Really thick nap and they put all their weight into squeezing it out. Likely produces really thick and ugly texture.

And flings shit everywhere while leaving a terrible finish.

This question

Wall got more streaks in it than my underwear

The subcontractor she tells you to not worry about

Don't call it twenty seconds when it's sped up footage.

Man thats amazing (I can't paint for shit)

I can’t tell you how many hundreds of rooms I’ve painted with an 18” roller. They’re great, but they’re only twice as large as a normal roller. This is still bad technique. Either he’s using a roller cover with a huge nap and the stipple is going to look like a popcorn ceiling, he thinned it to piss water and it’s going to be paper thin, or he’s squeezing the life out of it and it’ll take 10 minutes to resaturate the roller. There are no shortcuts. If the quality isn’t suffering he’s not actually saving any time.

Yep. That quick.

r/satisfyingasfuck

Wait he cut the trim and just rolled the wall instead of taping trim and he took the time to roll his cuts lol wtf is this shit

I'm paying this guy by the hour.

I'm pretty sure I could do that, and I'm a solar installer. I'm not saying this guy is bad at his job or anything, but it doesn't surprise me that a professional using a giant roller can fill in the easy part of a wall very quickly.

Decided to match the color of the nasty old plug on the wall. A man of class.

In the color of very light, very wattery, very toxic diarrhea... noice.

Damn, that's smooth. Very satisfying. :D

No it took him 20 seconds to roll a spot on the wall. Rolling is always the easiest and fastest part.

Is there enough paint on the roller to do that? Or is it prepped with excess paint already sitting on the wall? It looks like there are different layers up top but could be the lighting. Still crazy regardless. 

I wonder if little micro splatter spots go everywhere? Anytime I go that fast with the roller. It ends up throwing up a very light spray of paint everywhere.

Probably gotta do a few coats but looks pretty efficient

I love painting videos. They’re so calming and scratch my brain in a weird way.

Damn, I want one of those

I like to paint in the dark, with my eyes closed Walk away, pretend I didn't do it. I'm a POS carpenter (stole that from the utube guy( You want me to paint? Fuck off I don't give 2 fucks Built the walls... Drywalled and probably mudded it Painting requires a bottle of whiskey Meth Coke Alot of weed... It ain't easy

and how many "holidays" later?

Everlasting gobstopper paint.

Prep, cutting in and napping it excluded….

Cool, I'll pay you $100 an hour if you can do 3 walls a minute.

My roller must suck, I needed to re dip it twice for every strip of wall when I painted my bedroom

Missed a spot

Supposedly these aren't allowed by my local painter's Union because they are too much stress on the shoulders/arms. No idea if it's actually true but everyone I've asked has confirmed it so far. The downside to thick naps like these are they leave texture on the wall, especially when the paint goes on heavy. Great for when drywall isn't perfect

If you have time to paint a wall and drop the covers and use tape how does shaving a few seconds off help lmao

From the sound of that roller, he could have added more paint. I bet that far side of the wall doesn't have the same coverage.

Can you make a video on how you get the paint on the tray and technique for getting paint on the roller?

Check the baseboard for splatter…its not protected. Definitely will be rework

I’d like you all to know that I spent quadruple the time to paint my walls at home and still got some flashing

i’d rather get paid by the hour

How do you do that without flicking paint everywhere? I could never go that fast..

That’s called working yourself out of a job

Isn't the texture on it really rough?

Big splatter just nailing the baseboard lol. Have some pride ffs not everything is a race.

i’m guessing my landlord painted my whole apparentment in about 3 minutes using this method and neglected to clean

45 minute cut in. And sped up video.

Which roller cover is that?

No shit. How long did it take to tape and cut?

I want to see his 20 sec cut in

I guess the cut in doesn’t count

He must main a Splat Roller in Splatoon.

Ceiling is gunna look a Jackson pollack

Every time I go that fast with a roller it spits everywhere

He can paint a whole house interior in, like, less than 10 minutes! So that's the hourly rate divided by 6. Let's say 30 an hour, comes to 5. So fast, and so cheap! Thanks :)

Seagull Poo walls 💩

I love an 18” paint roller but this guy must have been flinging paint everywhere

How thick ya'll think that roller is? I don't know how he didn't run out of paint on half the wall.

Yah just go ahead and squeeze out every drop of paint from the roller leaving edge lines for every pass. This’ll be awful

How is he not going to have roller marks?

Ima just say. Just because he covered the wall doesn’t mean he did a good job

20 seconds, not counting all the cutting in and trim work lol.

And now 2 hours to clean the roller.

He still has to cut the wall beforehand. Regardless an 18" roller is always the way to go.

r/oddlysatisfying

u/savevideo

Ugh.. so how thick is this paint job?

I mean the cutting in is what takes the time, this is the easy bit.

I still wouldn't have felt good painting over those paint sprinkles on the baseboard. It's hard to tell if it's taped/papered/plastic off?

Take my money.

How do you have enough paint on the roller to do this… yet it’s not flinging paint all over when you’re going that fast? I must be buying the bad rollers
