Here at Hyde, we prefer to listen to the experts. And since we get a lot of questions from our customers about the right way to prime a wall for painting, we figured it would be best to do just that: listen to an expert. So we brought in veteran professional painter Jerry Vargo to give us (and you) some tips and tricks. Jerry gives step-by-step instructions on the entire process, he recommends specific tools and techniques, and he covers all the little things that can be hard to figure out on your own.
Jerry covers a range of questions and topics. How do you prep the job site before beginning? Does it matter if you buy cheap primer (hint- yes)? What's the best way to load your roller with paint? These are things that industry veterans may know without even really thinking about it, but they are things that can trip up the DIYer trying to tackle a job at home.
Another difficult topic that Jerry covers is how to get the corners and edges of the walls painted correctly. This one can be tricky to even try to Google- and that's OK, because Jerry has you covered!
Whether you’re a veteran painter looking to sharpen your skills or a first time DIY-er looking to learn the basics, this is a great video for anyone who is going to prime a wall for painting. Check it out!
P.S. as for the tools Jerry recommends…we just so happen to carry a few of those at spectacular prices.
