How To Paint Your Walls by Mannion Custom Painting, 3
·
· When painting interior walls paint from top to bottom working away from windows, door baseboards etc.
· Use the biggest brush you feel comfortable with, this will allow you to cover a greater area quicker and therefore lessen the chance of the paint drying out too quickly at any edges.
· If you are using a paint bucket (recommended) then fill the bucket so it is half the depth of the bristles on your brush, this will help avoid overloading the brush.
· Making nice smooth vertical action with your wrist, paint one section at a time ensuring to keep any wet edges fresh, as this will improve the finish.
· With corners always paint outwards over the edge, this will reduce the chances of any paint collecting at the edge and forming runs.
· Try to ensure you catch any runs in the paint as they happen, if you find a run that has already dried out too much to smooth with the brush then you will need to sand it down with fine sandpaper, and then recoat.
· Apply the second coat in the same way.
