Klaudio Dulemata began working as a painter alongside his uncle in Italy where he dedicated himself to a path of continual learning and improvement by studying a wide variety of techniques. In 2016, he emigrated to America and opened his own company, K-pro Painting, LLC in Detroit, MI. He developed all kinds of curiosity about the newest and most advanced materials in the painting industry to achieve the best results as a pro painter. He became a painter influencer by taking daily videos at his job site, then posting tips and processes to finish a job on TikTok and Instagram. Let\u2019s dive into how KILZ\u00ae<\/sup> Primers<\/a> help Klaudio on job sites.<\/p>\n

What aspect of professional painting do you love most?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

KLAUDIO<\/strong>: For me, I love the focus of the prep and the instant gratification of spraying. Prep is key. Make sure your floors and furniture are covered to eliminate overspray. Spraying covers large areas quickly with a smooth finish. Prep and spraying are what makes a pro and gives me a sense of accomplishment.<\/p>\n

For people who aren\u2019t sure, when would you spray vs. roll vs. brush?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

KLAUDIO:<\/strong> I use spray when I want a smooth finish. I roll the interior walls. I use a brush to cut-in on walls, corners, and ceilings.<\/p>\n

\"Image<\/p>\n

What piece of general advice would you have for someone who\u2019s never done a DIY project but is thinking about it?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

KLAUDIO:<\/strong> My advice for someone new to DIY is just to give it a try and make sure you have fun. Then just keep having fun until you\u2019re satisfied with the outcome. There\u2019s no better feeling.<\/p>\n

What do you like about KILZ\u00ae <\/sup>3 Premium Primer?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

KLAUDIO:<\/strong> I choose KILZ 3 Premium Primer<\/a> over other primers because of its stain blocking performance, it has minimal overspray, and is super durable.<\/p>\n

\"Image<\/p>\n

Can\u2019t you skip the primer step?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

KLAUDIO:<\/strong> No professional would do that. Primer is important to seal the original surface and bring out the best- looking finish for paint. Even a previously painted surface requires the use of primer to cover and block old colors.<\/p>\n

Was there a moment that you decided to take painting to the next level and marry that with becoming a painting influencer? One of your videos has over 50 million views.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

KLAUDIO:<\/strong> I never really planned on becoming an influencer. I just started taking videos of my jobs as a daily way to save all my work. At some point I started sharing tips and processes on TikTok, then Instagram followers started showing interest, so I just kept doing it.<\/p>\n

\"Image<\/p>\n

How important is reputation in your business?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

KLAUDIO:<\/strong> In this business, reputation is key. People put trust in you, so you must trust the products you use. I use KILZ\u00ae <\/sup>Primer to help maintain my reputation as a pro. I prime every time. First, I prep, then I use KILZ Primer right after.<\/p>\n

This is a paid partnership with Klaudio Dulemata.<\/em><\/p>\n
