New drywall painting
Step  Surface
Preparation:
There should not be very much preparation except checking
to make sure the wall have been sanded and for dusting off
the walls.
Step  Priming:
This is an easy stage. I prefer to have the primer tinted
close to the finish color. This makes it easier when
applying the finish coats. You get better coverage from
the finish paint.
First mix up the primer. Pour as much paint as the paint
tray will hold.
Place the paint tray within 1 foot of the wall that you
will be working on.
Start in a corner and work your way around the room.
>Start by loading your roller.
Rolling into the paint several times until the paint
roller is completely saturated.
Placing the roller half way up the wall and move upward.
Close to the ceiling then down to near the floor. Keeping
on the original stroke each time.
After all the rolling is completed then you can stared to
brush in the remaining areas.
Step  Surface Preparation:
Now check to find any nail holes, nicks or cuts that might
have been overlooked earlier.
Use drywall compound to fill if necessary then sand
complete surfaces. Dust off the surfaces and
proceed to he next step.
Step  Applying First Coat of Paint:
Take a brush and cut in. As you finish brushing one
surface wall at a roll immediately. Move to the surface
wall and repeat procedure until all surfaces are
completed. Proceed to he next step.
Step  Surface Preparation:
Now check to find any imperfections that might have been
overlooked earlier. Use drywall compound. Fill if
necessary then lightly sand completed surfaces. Dust off
the surfaces and proceed to he next step.
Step  Applying Second Coat of Paint:
The final coat of paint. Take a brush and cut in. As you
finish brushing one surface wall at a time roll
immediately. Move to the next surface wall and repeat
procedure until all surfaces are completed. Proceed to he
next room or clean up. |
