Painting Gloss First Or Emulsion?

  1. Pro painter told me once, if you can piss you can paint, but the secret is in the prep.
    Cut in first then roller and take masking tape off if you've used it before the paint dries.

  3. always cut in first or you will see the difference in texture... another way to tell a pro from a chancer... this includes when doing the mist coat unless you plan on sanding the fuck out of it...
     
  4. Not read this one from the front page,but for me on my last project i painted the walls first with two coats in total,then the gloss work afterwards,then i needed to touch in / repaint another emulsion on top,this worked out well because you can wipe down with a damp rag as you go.

  5. i guess it all depends on if you are doing it for a living and want to make money. and not have any problems... there is more than one way to fuck a donkey but not all of em pay.....
    if its ya own place and you dont mind taking ages/ going round in circles, you can fuck that donkey any way you want.....

  17. lube not luck is required here.... that tower has no cables... it was built many years back but then denied permission so was to be taken down for scrap last year but the steel market crashed so it stays for now... its handy for me as i dont know the area and my sat nav dont work in these parts so i just aim for the big fuck off tower.... ish....
     
  18. Walls then skirting board & picture rail & then window ledges. So emulsion then glossing'
