Here are the 5 Quick Tips for painting a bathroom
#1 – Get good painting tools
#2 – Get good tape
#3 – Time management
#4 – Turn up the heat
#5 – Trim cut-ins and second coat
Painting a bathroom starts with having the proper tools. Chris recommends the Purdy Clearcut brush for trim and cut-ins. He also uses the Purdy WhiteDove rollers for a smooth finish. Furthermore, Chris uses Frog Tape with a clear paintable caulk (e.g. Sherwin Williams’ 950A) to create laser straight lights at baseboards, door casings, window trim and more.
The key to painting a bathroom fast is to apply the first rolled on coat quickly and light. Then turn up the heat in the house to 75F. This helps the paint dry quickly.

How much does he get paid for all of the product placement?
Whats best way to degloss bathroom ceiling with orange peel texture. Have searched and watched many of your videos as a long time loyal fan but never saw this addressed. I saw a video of your crew in a house and talking/showing deglossing trim but not an orange peel ceiling. I'm thinking I'd have to sand the orange peel completely off, if sanding as I couldnt take off the gloss of the low orange peel areas. So now I'm thinking of using the chemical deglosser but thats best way to do it on the ceiling and upper walls. Im thinking about just rolling it on with a thin nap. Krud Kutter says you dont have to remove it, although I saw you guts removing it, or was that just because it was the trim and needed to be clean and smooth, where as an orange peel ceiling is irregular to begin with. Yikes what to do. Any comments anyone? I'm going to try rolling a small area tonight. Ah…..the paint life!
Update… Okay its a half hours or so later. I tried Krud Cutter on door trim and orange peel wall surface and I really cant tell any difference on the wall and maybe just a very slight difference on the trim. I followed the bottles instructions and saturate a cloth and did swirling motions, I repeatedly saturated the cloth to the point it was dripping some on the floor. Went over the same 10" x 14 inch area on the wall twice and no difference to the section around it, I did not see alot of white paint on my rag, after all that, maybe just as if 2 drops where smeared on it. If anything the trim looks better and more shiny!!!! Perhaps its because it smoothed it out and cleaned it up. Its BM Pro Paint Stock Frost Color painted in 1997 and before this it was in great condition, even after Krud Kutter deglosser its in great condition. I love Krud Cutter products, their goo off and something else I got to clean the oils stain crud off my engines piston worked fantastic, so no prejudice for their line of products, this just doesn't seem to be working . It is night time but the bathroom lights shine equally on both, I tired using a flashlight but still no difference. I'll wait till sunlight tomorrow. So far I'm terrorized I have 3 large bathrooms a gigantic kitchen a long hallway and whats called a butlers pantry for china and dishes (we dont have butlers) at this rate I might as well take down the orange peel and start a new, it would be far faster. Save me Idaho Painter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
I swear to fucking god he looks like John Cenas brother
Sounds like good quality expensive
No tips. Just product placement plugs. Waste of time.
Why is it that this video spends the first half pushing products?… Here's my protip: If a how-to video has links in the description that lead to buying what is pushed in the video, IT IS NOT A HOW-TO VIDEO; IT IS AN ADVERTISEMENT MASQUERADING AS ONE. at what point do you see any actual painting happening? Never. At what point do you see surface prep? Never. At what point do we learn how to paint hard-to-access places such as behind the toilet? Never. At what point does it even make sense to have this as a video at all rather than just a typed up script? Never, because he doesn't even do anything but talk. Someone will undoubtedly reply that I should "check out his other videos", but what sense did making this video have in that case? #1 rule when trying to learn something on youtube: is this more educational, or is it more of an advertisement?
Thank you! Painting my bathroom tomorrow
Great tips. I didnt know about the frog tape and light 1st paint coat. I use the blue painters tape. True about the cheap brushes and rollers, they fall apart easier.
This video was a waste of nearly 10 minutes… I wanted to know how to paint around a freakin' toilet that is why I searched for a video with BATHROOM in it. These tips are just general painting tips…
