In this DIY home improvement video series, I’ll be showing you the art of drywall knockdown texture to bare drywall. It took forever to finish the drywall, but I finally got it done. The drywall isn’t perfect, but luckily, the rest of my house has textured drywall so I will be applying texture to the drywall in the basement as well. The texture can easily cover up minor imperfections and can be easy to do following the instructions in my video. Let me show you how to build a room in the basement!

The first thing I’ll do is cover the floor with rosin paper and the doors and ceiling with plastic to protect it from primer and drywall texture overspray. Then I’ll use my Graco Magnum X5 Paint Sprayer to spray primer on the bare drywall walls. Applying primer on the walls before texture will ensure the texture looks the same on the seams as it does on the bare drywall. Next I’ll apply the texture. Start by preparing your texture gun and then mixing the texture. Then spray the texture compound on the walls. If it's a small room, like a bathroom, I’ll spray it all before stopping. By the time I’m done, I can start knocking it down with a knockdown knife. Once it's dry, I finish with another coat of primer. Now the wall is ready for paint!
