How can I best prepare my walls before I paint?
Walls that
have never been painted should have a recommended primer
applied before painting. For previously painted walls,
thoroughly wash them with a mild soap and water solution,
then rinse with clean water. If your existing surface was
painted previously with semi-gloss paint, the surface
should be lightly sanded to a duller finish. If the walls
have not been painted in five years or longer or are
stained then primer should be used.
