6 Secret Painting Tricks That Painters Hide From You

As a professional painter and owner of a painting company I can say I laughed at every hack in this video. Not one thing in this video is something painters do.

Professional painter with 20+ years experience here. While I do commend these “hacks” for inventiveness, and maybe worth doing if your supplies are limited (like trimming a chip brush to be an angled brush, or improvising an extension pole) these are not tricks I have ever used (or seen used) on a job. I guess tin foil would work in a pinch if you didn’t have any cutting skills or tape, and you were masking out a large area to be sprayed….but really, if one just practices cutting in with a 2-2.5” angled brush for a while, your jobs will get much easier. It’s not knowledge you’re born with, anyone can get at least decent at cutting in with some practice. Here’s a Pro Tip for the viewers at home for cleaning brushes: try to keep your brush from drying out. Wrap it in plastic or a wet rag if you don’t have a bucket of water (or solvent) to swish it in. When you are ready to clean it at the end of a job, use dish soap and a wire brush to work out all the paint. As long as the paint didn’t dry up inside the brush, you should be able to get most of it out, extending the life of your brush. Here ends the lesson. 😎👌

Trust me folks. Professional painters hide none of these things from you. Mostly because we don't use them. All you need is a high quality brush (the right one for the right job), and practice. Gimmicks are more trouble than they are worth.

My favorite painting trick is throwing out the brushes after each use.

Just take the outlet off the wall - don't wrap electrically conducting material around it :(

The fingers say it all ...........Loved it

All and any tips for all projects can be taken or not taken... Tips have helped me many times over the years. Ty

Any painter who is any good does not need any of these ideas. Never seen a professional need anything except his brushes

Wow!! Quick awesome tips!! 🤯

When he shaved the paintbrush with the hair clippers that shit was hilarious

Totally agree, hilarious ideas

You know that those switch plates just pop off right 😂

As an amateur painter, I found myself not laughing at the tips, but the way you made the video, it's great! I still tape to get those nice lines, but the coke bottle over the can, I'm definitely going to try it. I used the silicone and denatured alcohol trick once, it actually worked!

Thank you so much.
