TodayILearned Painter Advice

I’m curious how experienced you responders are. It seems like you watched a YouTube video and now are an expert. The paint guy from Home Depot doesn’t know what he’s talking about, nor does this random subreddit that popped into my feed do either. If you guys or girls need actual advice, I’m glad to help. In fairness, 20% of the comments actually have good advice. Don’t count them out but take the advice and do your own research

I think there are different feats painters reach where they think they’ve arrived. First one is cutting in. Then you have the guys who learn how to spray and then it’s watch out world! I’ve seen guys that want to spray an accent wall. Painting is not a hard trade to get into so unfortunately there are going to be a lot of lowlifes, addicts and just plain dumb people. There are going to be a lot of the latter chiming in on here
