Painting a room will take you a day to completely finish it. Depending on your skills in painting, it will take you the whole day and you only painted half of it. Not to worry, my dears, here are some rules to make your interior house painting faster and cleaner — and guaranteed!
· Clean up your room and de-clutter your spaces. You don’t need hassles while painting, right?
· If you are intending to paint your ceiling or walls, always remember that "drips" happen. To avoid having paint spills or drips on your flooring or carpet, have a cloth cover it. Newspapers will do to; stick it together with sticky tapes to avoid being swept by the air or an electric fan.
· Speaking of air or electric fan, make sure you have ventilation while painting.
· Use facemask.
· Before painting, slosh your painting brush in the solvent you will be using to clean it. For example, water for latex.
· If you don’t feel like cleaning your brush or roller after painting and expect to get back to painting within a few days, wrap it tightly in plastic bag and put in the freezer. DO NOT place the brush or the roller where your frozen goods are kept.
· Use latex gloves when (interior) painting walls to keep your hands clean.
· Always keep a wet edge as you paint and work away from that wet edge. If you are painting over a dry edge, you will get overlapping marks.
· The wonder of 99cent stores selling very, very cheap rollers or brushes. If you are painting it is much better to use top caliber brushes as, when compared, cheap rollers leave fuzz on the walls and streaky brush marks.
· Repainting your walls is a "to-paint-or-not-to-paint" dilemma? You can test it out by adhering a strip of duct tape to the existing surface and rip it. If flakes of paint come off in microscopic size, you may need to scrape and sand it.
· Use low-stick masking tape or blue tape when painting.
· Paint in this order respectively: ceiling, walls, trim, cabinets, doors.
· Always paint from top-down, and in M-stroke or W-stroke.
· Do not leave paint cans open.
· Don’t try to be pro when it is your first time to paint.
· If you are hoping to achieve a textured surface or wall, do not do this if you don’t have a creative eye. I am not saying you cannot do it. Chances are, you might do the "trial-and-error" method. Not only are you wasting your time repainting but you are also wasting your paints.
· And if the painting job is too strenuous for you, you can always hire house painting services in your area.
