Let\u2019s get started!<\/span><\/p>\n

Take Your Time on Preparation<\/span><\/h2>\n

Careful preparation is one of the most important steps of getting a good paint finish. Before applying any sort of paint, tape, or primer, make sure you cover your furniture and floors with tarps. Keep in mind that whatever you cover will likely be drizzled with paint by the end of your project. It is best to push all the furniture in the room to the center so you don\u2019t have to drag it out and back in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once everything is covered, you can get to work on the walls. No, that doesn\u2019t mean you can get to painting quite yet. Rent out or by a sander that can fix imperfections in the walls. The smooth surface will help the final coat look smoother. You\u2019ll also want to clean the surface with a wet sponge to remove any leftover sanding dust or dirt and grime.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Acquire All the Right Materials<\/span><\/h2>\n

This step of preparation is so important that we had to give it its own section. Getting the right materials for your paint job is absolutely essential. Spending less money on paint or brushes will only result in a worse looking finish that doesn\u2019t last as long. Bad brushes will leave bristes in the paint that will be visible until your next paint job\u2013\u2013and maybe even after that!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are multiple different types of paint you\u2019ll need to choose from. Ironically enough, we suggest steering away from internet suggestions. Every surface is unique and the only way to know which paint is right for your project is to ask a professional. This applies to both color and material. Most reputable painting companies will be able to provide you with a color consultation that will make choosing the right color as easy as 1-2-3.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Paint the Right Way<\/span><\/h2>\n

Last but not least, pay special attention to the way you apply the chosen paint to your walls. The last thing you want is a bunch of smears and discoloration on your surface. Load your brush up with paint and then tab each side of the brush against the can to knock off heavy drips. Doing this rather than scraping it along each side will provide a fuller brush with better coverage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We also recommend starting at the top of the wall and rolling downard. This way, you can paint right over your mistakes as you move downward. Don\u2019t worry about going over an area that has already dried. Doing so can leave marks or color steaks. Instead, cover it up with the second coat of paint.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
