The post features a 31-second video of a painter quickly applying white paint over beige walls in an empty room. He uses masking tape along the edges and drop cloths for protection. The caption questions the painter’s daily rate, considering how fast the job appears to be done. The clip humorously highlights professional efficiency and has gained over one million views along with 145 replies debating whether the video is authentic. Some viewers point out that the roller seems overly saturated with paint, which appears to exceed the typical capacity of 200–300 ml. In the replies, others explain the real process behind painting. They note that preparation—such as sanding and priming—often accounts for around 70% of the total work time, according to trade surveys. They also mention that the first coat on unfinished walls can absorb up to 40% more paint than later coats. Credit goes to the respect owner Dm for credit and removal.
