Residential Painting Tips

• Painting a home or residential area can have its
  own set of challenges, however without following
  some basic guidelines you may end up with one big
  mess in the end. The following tips aim to give
  you the information you need to avoid such an
  outcome and to help you paint in the best ways
  possible. Lets begin with the first tip on our
  list

• If you want to avoid lap marks, you must follow
  through and roll the entire height of your wall
  with a wet edge. This will help you create an
  uninterrupted line all the way. The worst thing
  you can do is stop the rolling midway and
  then begin again, as this will inevitably create
  these unpleasant lap marks which simply take
  forever to deal with and an even greater number
  of coats.

• Long, even strokes or rolling is the best way to
  avoid them completely.
• For a consistent color without any variations you
  should mix the cans of paint in a very large
  bucket.

• This will give you a chance to deal with only
  a single source of paint for your needs instead
  of remixing new ones which may differ in hues
  from the previous ones.

• The best way to go about painting the room is to
  start with the trim due to gravitys hold on the
  paint youll use. Doing so and then protecting it
  with tape will be the best way to do it. Once you
  are done painting the walls you should keep in
  mind that paint doesnt exactly dry right away
  and that some of it will flow down the wall and
  over the wall.

8

• That means you cant rip off the tape as you may
  damage the paint on the wall. Carefully cut it
  away with a box cutter to minimize the damage.
  Waiting for about 24 hours for the paint to
  dry completely is the perfect time to do that.

9

• Make sure you check whether the paint is
  completely dry. You dont want to try to cut
  gummy paint as you will mess up everything and
  youll have to fix it later.

10

• If you want to avoid the unpleasant side-effects
  of a blotchy finish, you should make sure you do
  some priming and texturing beforehand. Although
  the color of the paint will be uniform when
  youre done it is often that it will also be
  lacking a proper sheen.

11

• If that happens the cracks and holes in the
  wall might be the problem, unless they were
  patched before your paint job. This is where
  primering comes in, smoothing out these patches
  and eliminating the differences between them.

• Something else that must be done is to clean up
  the walls before you apply any paint. That will
  greatly help them form a stronger bond so they
  wont peel off when you are done with the
  process. You can degloss or clean the
  wall depending on the type of paint youre
  planning to use, however that largely depends on
  what paint was underneath to begin with.
