Paint Your Wagon - with a roller!

[HarryMann]

C'mon on then lads, decide on that price pronto then we can get pre-ordering those DVDs...

Bagsy first one

[CovKid]

Won't be excessive but it'll be a little while before its ready. What takes time is the editing down and commentary - was up till 2pm again last night (yawn), and more to do today. You're first in the queue

If the commentary is in a midland dialect can you please provide subtitles on the dvd. Thanks!

[CovKid]

Hey its not that bad

There are subtitles though

I hear they have interpreters employed by Skeggy council.

Ok boys, heres a taster. Managed to E D I T down to 30 mins - this is just an example with short clips from those chapters already in the bag:

Last few seconds here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYIEAEHnomU" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - is that glossy or is it glossy?

Cost-wise its not far off £8 for 80/90 - hope thats acceptable. Plays on most home DVD players and PC/Laptop.

PM me if you would like a copy then I'll get some idea of how many I need to produce on this first run and those in the queue will get theirs first. Cheers.

Covkid where do you get those rollers with rounded corners on both ends?

I've looked in all the pound shops around me (poundland, poundworld) and the DIY stores but with no luck

[CovKid]

I don't use rollers with two rounded ends. In fact they're fine as they are. You'll often need the straight end for painting up to hard edges. It more how you use it than its shape - so the girls tell me.

[Cruz]

The roller in your video looked rounded on both ends. I find the square ends can sometimes leave a hard line even when you try your hardest not to

[CovKid]

Depends how fast you work. I know what you mean though. We do cover all that in the video. I think you'd be constantly swapping rollers if you went that route though as double round ended would be useless on anything other than central areas.

DVD should be good, i'd take a copy

I'm using these - not tried any others but they seem to be giving me good results. £9 off fleabay (I'm too lazy to go shopping! ) I think that there are more than enough to get a couple of coats - not had any breaking down so far!

Found that using a foam brush after rolling removed the bubbles ( i had been using the brush to touch up difficult areas - so there was some paint in the brush - not dry!)

That looks really good for a first coat! Is that RAL 9005 by any chance? Looks the same colour I've done my roof.

I'm getting off the rig today so should be rubbing down the second coat and getting the 3rd coat on mine in the next few days.
