Good painting techniques

Remember one thing: what makes your painting project succeed is to follow literally what is written on paint cans. If it is written to apply at a temperature between 10 and 30 degrees outdoors, do not paint when it is 35 with a wet factor of 40 degrees. If it is written to let dry 4 to 6 hours, do it.

Primer or undercoat

There are paints with built-in undercoat and if you are repainting white in a rental apartment, this can be a good way to save money. But, as soon as you perform plaster repairs on the wall, the primer / undercoat is recommended . Even more so if you repaint on a previously colored wall. To hide a pre-existing color, the underlayment is then essential.

There are two techniques: first pass the primer everywhere to make appear defects on the wall so better isolate plaster repairs to make. Then, we'll just have to iron once the plaster repairs are done. Personally, I prefer to do my plaster repairs and put primer all over the wall.

Very important: completely clean the room after finishing your plaster repairs and wipe the ceilings and walls with a swiffer type cloth so that the dust does not stick to the fresh paint.

The roll stroke

There are whole books that have been written about painting techniques and it's not for nothing that there are professional painters, so I will not be able to teach you how to paint in a blog post. Besides, I'm not even sure I have the right techniques myself.

Before painting the walls, you will begin with the corners of ceilings and ceilings (see below).

Then come the corners of walls and ceiling edges with your cutting brushes. You can then paint the walls using the roller and the handle to paint from top to bottom, giving rolls that form a W, and moving in the same direction.
