For many painting can be just taking the paint bucket and a brush and start but if you want a quality painting then you need take much more steps and have some experience too.
If you want to do it yourself here are some general steps to have an average quality paint for a room:
- Clean walls.
Remove dirt, dust, and grease spots (which can ruin a smooth finish) with water, a little mild dishwashing detergent, and a cellulose sponge or a cloth. Rinse walls with clean water to remove the soap residue. - Tape the trim, window, Power outlets/sockets and door frames.
Be sure to use painter’s blue tape, which can be applied up to a week ahead. Remove tape immediately after painting, before the wall dries, so you don’t peel off any paint with it. - Prime the walls.
It’s a common myth that walls that have been painted many times don’t need to be primed or when you use same tone of color. In fact, primer helps maximize the sheen and coverage of paint and gives the finish coat a more uniform appearance. - Where you can’t roll use the Brush.
Brush on paint around trim and in the corners of walls, where your roller can’t reach, with a two-inch angled brush. Extend out two to three inches from windows, doors, and moldings. Don’t go too fast when you roll, the paint can jump back to your face due to fast spinning. - Use the W technique.
For efficiency, start in the corner of a wall and roll on a three-by-three-foot W pattern, then fill it in without lifting the roller. Continue in sections until you’re finished. Paint one wall at a time. - Paint the trim.
When the walls are completely dry, tape where the trim meets the wall. Paint the moldings and the door and window frames with a two-inch angled brush.
