How to Paint your Walls by Mannion Custom Painting, LLC

· The next step is to cut in around the ceiling, baseboards, moldings corners, light switches, sockets and any doors/windows.

· To cut in to the ceiling use a good quality 2.5 to 3 inch brush. Paint along the top of the wall keeping the edge of the brush tight to the ceiling, use firm steady strokes to give yourself a nice straight edge.

· Then turn the brush and go over the paint again with a steady stroke to smooth the previous coat, this time there is no need to get too close to the ceiling but close enough to smooth the paint out.

· You can use this technique to cut in around the horizontal runs of any windows, doors, sockets and light switches.

· To cut in to the baseboards boards use a similar technique holding the brush at a 90 degree angle to the skirting board, then turn the brush and go over the paint again to smooth the coat.

We will continue with the process on our next blog.
