Don't ever, never, paint out of the can. You should paint out of a pot when cutting in a room.
Only amateurs do that!
This is how amateurs paint when painting out of the can: They dip their brush into the paint, and then they scrape it off! Both sides! It's hilarious to watch.😀
They're basically painting with a dry brush. LOL.
And don't paint out of those cups that look like a "cup" and hold about as much as half a cup of paint. Again, only amateurs paint out of those things.
I see it all the time in painting videos.
I know "professional painters" personally, who paint like that.
They are NOT professional.
Why you should not paint out of the can:
More Controlled Paint Loading: It's easier to control the amount of paint you load onto your brush from a pot, reducing drips and spills.
A paint can will tip over more easily than a wider paint pot.
Cleaner Tools: By using a pot, you're less likely to get paint all over the outside of the main can, keeping your workspace tidier.
Using a paint pot is a best practice for painters because it helps maintain the quality of the paint in the main can, improves efficiency and control during application, reduces mess and waste, and ultimately contributes to a better and more professional finish. Think of the paint can as your "storage" and the pot as your "working supply".
So, to the amateurs in the residential and commercial painting business, do yourself a favor,
Stop painting out of the can and watch your productivity increase!
Painting a two-story interior foyer staircase and walls presents unique challenges. Due to the height, specialized equipment like tall ladders or scaffolding might be necessary, and safety should be a top priority. Color selection plays a crucial role in such a large space; lighter colors can enhance the sense of openness, while deeper tones can create a more dramatic effect. Consider how the chosen color will interact with natural light and existing architectural features.
New bay window before caulking, puttying, priming, and painting 3 coats with a white semi-gloss by Benjamin Moore.
Painting interior windows is a detail-oriented task that rewards precision and planning. Done well, it enhances the trim and character of a room. Done poorly, it sticks, chips, or mars the glass. Whether you’re a homeowner tackling a DIY project or a pro looking to up your game, mastering window painting is worth the effort.
At JCB Painting, we take pride in the small details that make a big difference. If your windows need a refresh—or you're looking for a full interior paint transformation—we’re here to help.
Note the ceiling. Jcb Painting doesn't see too many of these types of ceilings. Every room in this house has a different design.
The homeowner in Attleboro, MA was determined to find the perfect off-white for their space, so we began the project by testing a wide range of off-white color swatches directly on the walls. As anyone who’s gone through this process knows, off-whites can vary greatly depending on the lighting, room size, and surrounding elements—so taking the time to sample multiple shades was key.
After careful consideration and viewing the swatches at different times of day, the client confidently chose Benjamin Moore’s "Simply White"—a clean, fresh shade with just the right amount of warmth. Once applied, the transformation was immediate. The color brightened the entire room, giving it a more open and airy feel while maintaining a soft, inviting atmosphere.
The result is a timeless and versatile backdrop that works beautifully with the homeowner’s decor and natural light. It’s a great example of how a thoughtful color selection process can truly elevate a space.
