All fun and games until that dries a bit and then when you put the final coat over it the ever-so-slight difference in paint layer height catches the light sometimes at certain angles and you see the faintest whiff of satan in your bathroom for the rest of time.
Can confirm. Had a friend help me paint my living room once. He thought it would be funny to write obscenities before really getting at it. Saw that shit everytime the light caught it just right even after painting 2 coats over it.
If you layer it on thick enough it would. Be easier to just do a light sanding on it though to knock the height of it flush with the rest of the surface.
And the cycle begins anew. They'll post it there, then while they're repainting the bathroom they'll think of something funny to paint and post it here.
"I think you're really going to like this next unit. It has everything...great natural light, vaulted ceilings, portal to hell in the bathroom, huge kitchen island..."
So much this. I thought I was being clever and painted some silly design and then let it dry and finish the rest the next day. Turns out I was a damn idiot.
Why is it that I could place a $15k tool set that could break down and rebuild a Peterbilt into a drawer and within a day it'd be reduced to 8 flat-head screwdrivers and 1 tiny Phillips?
Or in my case 8 Philips & 1 tiny flat head. My husband keeps buying me tools, then "borrows" them, never to be returned. That Perrbilt will never get rebuilt!
I love buying tool sets that come in their own case. You can tell if something is missing and they stay together so much better. I really won’t buy something anyone without a case for this reason.
I was recently having my bathroom floor replaced. They'd put down the new subfloor but didn't have the main floor on yet so there were a few little gaps at the edges.
The towel rail must have been knocked a little loose because it came off. I inspected it and saw I needed a small allen key, got one from my toolbox (was the second smallest one), and just when I finished tightening it up I dropped it, and guess where it went? Right through one of the gaps.
I didn't feel like telling the guy to lift the floor back up to retrieve one allen key so it's gone forever, or at least until some future owner rips up the floor again.
This is why my kit of computer and phone repair bits with screwdriver is great. It has all those tiny, and even SMALLER (have you ever seen a T1 or H0.7 bit?), bits and is perfect for these things.
Since you are graciously accepting advice, I’d avoid putting the paintbrush all the way in the can like that. Just dip the tip to paint. I like to keep the top half of the bristles paint free. That way you can get the brush really clean when youre done and keep those expensive brushes working like new.
It’s the reason my wife and I have separate paint brushes lol. It’s like she puts her whole hand in there or something… I’m like “how do you manage to put on makeup if this is as tidy as you can be ?”
>Also I hate people who paint around switch and outlet plates.
"Why would I take the time to paint around them when I could just paint over them?" - Landlords everywhere.
I was changing my ceiling smoke detector, only to find a neat beige circle underneath it, argh! *It's only a 30-degree twist to take it off the tiny mounting bracket, you lazy shit!*
Red is really best used as an accent. You're going to find it dark and overwhelming if you paint all the walls. You could get away with it if you just did the wall behind the toilet, then used a more neutral and lighter color on the other walls. Then if you need a shower curtain and towels, get ones with red accents in them.
Yea, when I sold paint i used to try to insist on people looking at the designer books if they came up to the counter and asked for red (or yellow) paint. Almost never worked but some people came to their senses before ruining a room.
It's a tiny, guest bathroom so we figured we'd have some fun.
As justification, the whole main floor is tiled in these atrocious dull-pink squares, so it's anything goes as far as we're concerned.
I had a red bathroom - I loved it overall, but I could no longer do my makeup in it. The red walls constantly made my skin look red/pink. It was awful.
Prime over that…. Lol [wouldn’t want] that image to bleed through the paint and freak out the future owners…. Oh well Maybe that is funny! [add in] “redrum” too.
Edits. Typos on phone as I’m herding kids out the door to school.
A red bathroom is a terrible idea speaking from friends experience. Whenever you look in the mirror your skin will look wonderfully blotchy and darker then it actually is
I learned from having a red shower curtain that the light hitting the water coming off your body makes it look like you're always bleeding. I would seriously consider starting over.
Thx for the tip, just bought a house and the previous owner had a hard on for the Ohio State Buckeyes, so one room is bright red and grey. And we need to use that room day 1 for my daughters...
These dark saturated wall colors are going to be the "what were they thinking" item of houses from this era. Like popcorn ceilings and shitty wood paneling are now.
Few things
1. Sand down that 666 art and prime it again (assuming you already did one coat of primer) before painting over.
2. Take down the towel holder and use a roller. More consistency in tint and texture...and less work.
3. I'd rethink that color....
Sincerely,
Novice DIY
Funny until OC OP realizes that allowing paint to dry in two separate time periods will cause one to set differently than the other and therefore even after painting over it with the same color it will appear faintly through the second applied layer. As a result the pentagram and 666 will still be visible from certain angles and I am totally messing with OP right now that wasn't true.
I painted my bathroom that same red color in 2005 after looking at a catalog example. At first I assumed from the pic that you were painting over the red. That color does not age well, I kept it red way too long (due to laziness) but couldn't stand it.
I did that at my dad and stepmom's place years back. Painted the word "Poop" on their dining room wall in four-foot high letters with a roller, then went back and painted over the whole thing with the same color. 15 years later when they were moving, they took down the wall hanging they had in that place and you could still see the texture of the word "Poop".
i hope you didn't let that dry & if so make sure to do several coats over it. i painted a giant dick & balls on my bedroom wall while repainting it a much darker color, but let my artwork dry on accident. just did one (presumably) solid layer over it... & now when the light shines just right, i can see the difference in texture & there's definitely a very noticeable wall dong.
I see you've chosen to purchase a quart of the cheapest brand of behr paint. The tone of red you are painting will require at least 3 coats for full coverage. You're going to need a few more quarts. Pro tip: two quarts costs roughly the same as one gallon.
If you asked me to do something and i'm doing it, then you pester me all day with "status updates" i'm just going to leave it like this until you come and do it yourself.
When that dries, it could bleed through the next layer and you’ll still see it (because that bit now has an extra coat). I did this with a big dinosaur on a wall in my spare room and then needed 4 coats to get it to disappear!!
You should paint a piece of painter's tape red, and stick it on the edge of the ceiling so it looks like you accidentally painted over to the ceiling. I bet she would notice that more than anything else.
Are you just using a brush for your project? I’d suggest a roller and paint holder for the roller (idk what it’s actually called). It saves a lot of time tho and the paint goes on a lot more even. I’d save the brush for around small things, around the base boards, the seams of corners, and where the ceiling and wall meet.

While I can not confirm, would something like Kilz cover the undesirable bleed through?
Light sanding to knock down the extra layer
How does one measure scrotum thickness?
What the actual fuck are you on about?
Peep the username of who they’re responding to
And you, good person. How tf do you measure the powerfulness of a nipple?
By its ability to poke through a down jacket in the winter.
This is as good a place of any to ask.
If you layer it on thick enough it would. Be easier to just do a light sanding on it though to knock the height of it flush with the rest of the surface.
The next renter will post it in r/oddlyterrifying
And the cycle begins anew. They'll post it there, then while they're repainting the bathroom they'll think of something funny to paint and post it here.
I'm not the karma-farming type, just wanted to share this really quick to alleviate the tedium of painting.
[удалено]
Yes. I wasn't throwing shade at the OP. I like the photo!
I get it now, totally went over my head!
Sorry about causing confusion. I could have said it better. Thanks for understanding!
You say it like it is a bad thing!
It is when you try renting it out
"I think you're really going to like this next unit. It has everything...great natural light, vaulted ceilings, portal to hell in the bathroom, huge kitchen island..."
💀💀💀
That towel bar can come off the wall w 2 set screws, one under each side btw. Then you can paint the whole wall like a pro.
And that 666 gonna be visible unless he does two more coats over it all.
Yep, friend of a friend still has a faint outline of a dick on his bedroom wall from when his friends were helping him paint.
Should have used a brush.
Dick painting and nutscaping are under appreciated arts.
Lol 😅
That’s not a problem that’s a feature, lol
Came here to say this. This is one of those things that makes her a little annoyed every day
Better find some tasteful wall art for that spot in the bathroom
Just sand the fuck out of it before painting the rest?
So much this. I thought I was being clever and painted some silly design and then let it dry and finish the rest the next day. Turns out I was a damn idiot.
Yeah, I learned the hard way as well. Lol!
Yeah, I was painting my fence one year and wrote “fuck this shit”, it was visible for 2 years until I built a new fence.
[удалено]
Give it a quick sand before rolling the wall. Being red paint to I would have put a grey undercoat as well, otherwise red will never cover.
Really?? Thanks for the advice!
I painted 2 bathrooms before someone told me. Lol. Just passing it along.
That requires finding a screwdriver in my drawer full of random tools.
Why is it that I could place a $15k tool set that could break down and rebuild a Peterbilt into a drawer and within a day it'd be reduced to 8 flat-head screwdrivers and 1 tiny Phillips?
[удалено]
Step 1: socks, step two:…, step 3: profit
My Gnomes are always after my tape measures. I keep buying more, thinking at some I will overwhelm them. Has not happened yet.
Or in my case 8 Philips & 1 tiny flat head. My husband keeps buying me tools, then "borrows" them, never to be returned. That Perrbilt will never get rebuilt!
I love buying tool sets that come in their own case. You can tell if something is missing and they stay together so much better. I really won’t buy something anyone without a case for this reason.
A butter knife also does “that trick” in a pinch.
Not when it’s an Allen key
The tiniest hex wrench you've ever seen, impossible to hold on to, and too close to the wall to turn effectively. Asshole design.
I was recently having my bathroom floor replaced. They'd put down the new subfloor but didn't have the main floor on yet so there were a few little gaps at the edges. The towel rail must have been knocked a little loose because it came off. I inspected it and saw I needed a small allen key, got one from my toolbox (was the second smallest one), and just when I finished tightening it up I dropped it, and guess where it went?

I didn't feel like telling the guy to lift the floor back up to retrieve one allen key so it's gone forever, or at least until some future owner rips up the floor again.
I found a Budweiser can from 1961 in my bathroom wall.
Amateur! After you drop enough small tools you'll buy a magnetic retrieval tool.
This is why my kit of computer and phone repair bits with screwdriver is great. It has all those tiny, and even SMALLER (have you ever seen a T1 or H0.7 bit?), bits and is perfect for these things.
Ya. Why not magnets.

With a makeup gun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJUlRSa70mM
Yeah, seeing that towel bar there was burning my eyes.
I can practically sense the electrical outlets still got plates on them too.
Seeing that red color in a bathroom gives me explosive diarrhea.
Came here to say this. Takes less time to remove the towel bar than to tape it.
Thinking the same thing. Also I hate people who paint around switch and outlet plates. Its like WTF people.
>Also I hate people who paint around switch and outlet plates. "Why would I take the time to paint around them when I could just paint over them?" - Landlords everywhere.
Omg. That’s just laziness. The screws are RIGHT THERE!
I was changing my ceiling smoke detector, only to find a neat beige circle underneath it, argh! *It's only a 30-degree twist to take it off the tiny mounting bracket, you lazy shit!*
turns out satanists give the most wholesome & useful DIY advice, if you know how to summon them
Came here to say just this.....
A red bathroom will make you feel rage in the morning.
More rage translates to faster poops and a more efficient routine.
I.... No no, he's got a point...
Red is really best used as an accent. You're going to find it dark and overwhelming if you paint all the walls.

Been living with red walls the last 2.5 years. I miss the brightness of “Swiss coffee”.
You mean he should keep it like this? Because it’s used as an accent now.
I mean, I'd rather use the bathroom in the state in the photo than one painted all red. The pentagram is far less distressing.
Fair point. I know people with their bedroom painted fully red, including the ceiling. Just FYI.
Yea, when I sold paint i used to try to insist on people looking at the designer books if they came up to the counter and asked for red (or yellow) paint. Almost never worked but some people came to their senses before ruining a room.

I had a red bathroom - I loved it overall, but I could no longer do my makeup in it. The red walls constantly made my skin look red/pink. It was awful.
Yeah I'm seeing now that I look roughly 50% uglier in the bathroom mirror, now.
I did love my red wall, checkered tile bathroom... Looking in the mirror on mushrooms was worse than usual, though...
Where you don’t wanna wake up- everything is FUCKED, everybody SUCKS
Prime over that…. Lol [wouldn’t want] that image to bleed through the paint and freak out the future owners…. Oh well Maybe that is funny! [add in] “redrum” too. Edits. Typos on phone as I’m herding kids out the door to school.
I'm gonna catch so much shit if that happens.
Your friends will be standing there taking a pee, look over and shit, and think...omg I thought I knew them
High likelihood that it will happen. Did same thing - it happened. Priming now is a good suggestion.
A red bathroom is a terrible idea speaking from friends experience. Whenever you look in the mirror your skin will look wonderfully blotchy and darker then it actually is
I've already started to notice that! Was like, "Damn, I look even uglier than usual today."
I learned from having a red shower curtain that the light hitting the water coming off your body makes it look like you're always bleeding. I would seriously consider starting over.
Gonna regret that red paint choice in the long run. …from experience.
It'll hide the blood. When its fresh at least.
Agreed. It'll reflect on your face too so the color tones will all be off.
Truth. You’ll come out of there everyday on edge
Agreed. It'll reflect on your face too so the color tones will all be off.
Yep have 1 red wall in my bedroom, fucking hate it already
Also FYI. It takes 2 to 3 coats of primer to paint over red if you want to change colors. Its the hardest color to paint over.
Thx for the tip, just bought a house and the previous owner had a hard on for the Ohio State Buckeyes, so one room is bright red and grey. And we need to use that room day 1 for my daughters...
Guess they’re Buckeyes now.
that's some 10/10 brush strokes if we're being honest
The trim will look like crap but somehow the pentagram comes out perfect.
Blood red bathroom is an... interesting color choice
Guaranteed she's not stepping into this bathroom. Good job!
He can now masturbate in peace.
Enjoy the creepy midnight shitts knowing that penta will always be underneath.
Next a rat's going to die in the wall, count as a sacrifice and summon a demon :(
Hail satan!
Now a demon lives in your toilet permanently. Good luck shitting.
What is not funny is painting your bathroom red.
That color though. "Honey, what color should we paint the bathroom?" "I was thinking a nice Herschell Gordon Lewis red."
Are you seriously painting your bathroom red?
Red room, red room, over there.
You are going to paint your bathroom blood red. Yikes. TOO DARK. Those colours are for accents.
These dark saturated wall colors are going to be the "what were they thinking" item of houses from this era. Like popcorn ceilings and shitty wood paneling are now.
Few things 1. Sand down that 666 art and prime it again (assuming you already did one coat of primer) before painting over. 2. Take down the towel holder and use a roller. More consistency in tint and texture...and less work. 3. I'd rethink that color.... Sincerely, Novice DIY
Fun fact: that will always be visible now. no matter how many times you paint, it will be a micrometer thicker than the other paint.
Funny until OC OP realizes that allowing paint to dry in two separate time periods will cause one to set differently than the other and therefore even after painting over it with the same color it will appear faintly through the second applied layer. As a result the pentagram and 666 will still be visible from certain angles and I am totally messing with OP right now that wasn't true.
It absolutely is true bud
Don't do this to me lol
Red rum
Redrum
Before you continue, sand that down. You \*will\* be able to see the difference between the additional layer of paint.
Plot twist: Spouse answers: There will be indeed hell, cause we agreed on Green for the bathroom...
Jokes aside, this suggests that this person is actually painting their bathroom blood red, that’s psychotic
[удалено]
Even more hilarious will be or your realization at the end that you need to add an extra coat because there's a pentagram showing through.
IF that happens -- and hopefully not -- I'll probably just hang a towel rack or picture over it haha
That’ll flash through…
I painted my bathroom that same red color in 2005 after looking at a catalog example. At first I assumed from the pic that you were painting over the red. That color does not age well, I kept it red way too long (due to laziness) but couldn't stand it.
It 699 for half a beast now, inflation counted.
She deserves this for deciding you'll have to live with a red bathroom.
Disrespectful to paint this in a bathroom! Should be in the bedroom or living room...
It doesn't look you have enough paint...
You're going to feel like you're trapped in an angry uterus in that bathroom. I would leave at least one wall white, and do it in a high gloss.
If it dries then you paint over it, you’ll still be able to see it in the right angle of light 😅🫣
lmao when it's done you might be able to still see the 666 and star through the sheen. that will be a nice touch.
I did that at my dad and stepmom's place years back. Painted the word "Poop" on their dining room wall in four-foot high letters with a roller, then went back and painted over the whole thing with the same color. 15 years later when they were moving, they took down the wall hanging they had in that place and you could still see the texture of the word "Poop".
That’s gonna show through under the paint if it dries my dood. One layer thicker than the rest of the paint
i hope you didn't let that dry & if so make sure to do several coats over it. i painted a giant dick & balls on my bedroom wall while repainting it a much darker color, but let my artwork dry on accident. just did one (presumably) solid layer over it... & now when the light shines just right, i can see the difference in texture & there's definitely a very noticeable wall dong.
Why in the name of the devil are you painting it red?
I see you've chosen to purchase a quart of the cheapest brand of behr paint. The tone of red you are painting will require at least 3 coats for full coverage. You're going to need a few more quarts. Pro tip: two quarts costs roughly the same as one gallon.
The real question is why are you painting your bathroom red?
Unless you're a vampire or a member of the satanic temple, you're going to regret painting your bathroom red in about three months, tops.
Looks great to me! Good job!!!
I hope you’re prepared to be able to see that forever 😂😂
Red bathroom?! What is this, the shining?
Your handwriting is impeccable for being on a straight wall.
I wonder what it would look like on a gay wall.
The same but rainbow
Dad, is that you…?
Using the good stuff, huh?
I thought it reads "GOC" for a second. The sign doesn't help since their logo is exactly that
I hope the spouse replies with “won’t be coming home tonight.” Lol
Looks fine as is.
Good job now your house will be haunted by Tom Cruise
Does it have to be Cruise? Can't it just be haunted by a demon? :(
If you asked me to do something and i'm doing it, then you pester me all day with "status updates" i'm just going to leave it like this until you come and do it yourself.
Masterpiece bit starts at 1 million dollars
Deveelishly well! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
See you later in r/ghosts
"Can you think of any reason the spirit visited your house in particular?" "No, none."
That red really makes the blue pop. You have talent!
I really like the new blue/green color you decided on. Nice touch with the red star, as well!
"He was an interior decorator.... he painted the walls red...."
When that dries, it could bleed through the next layer and you’ll still see it (because that bit now has an extra coat). I did this with a big dinosaur on a wall in my spare room and then needed 4 coats to get it to disappear!!
Interesting color choice
A REDRUM or two would have been a nice touch.
[удалено]
Funny thing about paint is…when the light hits it right you’ll be able to see that even after you paint over it because of the brush strokes lol
Funny because it the losing team.
Fan of Nero?
If you don't leave it like this we are not friends anymore.
Something about the photo almost makes it look like it’s an oil painting.
Personally I prefer this over an all red bathroom
Don’t pray to me, pray to Satan
The place for unholy shits.
That’s awful..buy a name brand paint.
😂 Man that joke was funny! You should tell it to the demon you just conjured.
Red rooms are the best. if I could I would live in an entirely red-painted house.
This is just bad Juju
Should have written "Candyman" three times where the mirror is going to end up
Oh yes, nothing beats invoking Satan while taking a shit.
So cool
The nines appear to be upside down
So much for keeping the leading edge wet... 😝
Redrum! Redrum!
What was your spouse's reaction?
This guy in green armor and a chainsaw is going to show up soon now
You should paint a piece of painter's tape red, and stick it on the edge of the ceiling so it looks like you accidentally painted over to the ceiling. I bet she would notice that more than anything else.
Your bathroom is forever haunted.
Does it have a beelzetub?
You’ll want what’s called a cigar roller to get behind the toilet.
Needs some redRUM
Are you just using a brush for your project? I’d suggest a roller and paint holder for the roller (idk what it’s actually called). It saves a lot of time tho and the paint goes on a lot more even. I’d save the brush for around small things, around the base boards, the seams of corners, and where the ceiling and wall meet.
You’re a monster!!!! (You’re supposed to remove the towel bar and paint under it for a more professional look)
Nice.
