Painting Walls with High Gloss Paint Video

Bob goes into the bathroom where painter Dirk VanKoughnett is painting the walls. VanKoughnett is using a high gloss paint, a surface that is enjoying renewed popularity. Originally high gloss paint was used because it was more durable than other kinds of paint, but in modern times that is no longer the case. VanKoughnett explains that high gloss paint is more difficult to apply because all the light bouncing off the paint emphasizes flaws. A skim coat of joint compound was applied prior to the paint to ensure a smooth surface and fewer flaws. VanKoughnett is using a roller with a quarter inch knap to make sure there are less bubbles in the paint. Bob discusses with VanKoughnett the benefits of using the highest quality brush when working with high-gloss.
