Step by Step Guide To Painting.
 Step One: Surface preparation :
The very first thing you want to do is check the surfaces
for imperfections. These surface imperfections are usually
old nail holes, cracks, cuts or nicks, joint separations
or just badly covered drywall tape. Be sure to mix the
drywall compound thoroughly before you start.
Step Two: Spot prime surface where patches are:
Start to prime in any corner. Load the roller, place it
about 2 feet from the floor and roll upward to the top
then back down to the floor. Keep your motion consistent.
Top to bottom, no part way up rolls. Be sure to feather
out the paint. I usually roll 1 line then move over a half
a roller with the dry roller. This spreads the paint out
reasonably well. Try to roll as much as you can on the
surface, leaving minimal brushwork. After all the rolling
is complete, cut the surfaces in with a brush.
Step three: Surface preparation :
Now check to find any nail holes, nicks or cuts that might
have been overlooked earlier. Use drywall compound to
fill. Fill if necessary then sand complete surfaces. Dust
off the surfaces and proceed to he next step.
Step Four: Applying first 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 step.
Step Five: 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 Six: 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.
