Step-By-Step
Guide to House Painting: -
1#
Clean Thoroughly
First things first, you
need to prep the walls for the new layer of paint and that can’t happen unless
you clean the surface properly. Now, this task is particularly very tiresome,
and you need to be prepared for it physically as well as mentally.
You need to keep the
basics in mind removing all the items from your room or covering them with
material that holds the paint. If you have heavy furniture that can’t be easily
moved then just keep them aloof from the wall and cover them wholly.
2#
Prepare the Surface
There could be cracks
and crevices that need to be filled before starting the painting process. You
can go for lightweight spackle or joint compound depending on your needs. If
the chinks are small, you can go spackle that comes with a binding agent along
with gypsum powder.
The joint compound is
more suited to heavy wall repairing. It is also known as drywall and mainly
consists of limestone and gypsum. You may also use plaster of Paris and
smoothen the surface with a sanding sponge.
3#
Get the Right Primer & Paint
In order to make the
paint more effective, you need to choose a high-quality primer. And while
applying it, make sure that you are covering all the surfaces. After applying
the primer, it’s time to get the painting part. Again, you need to choose an
excellent that assures good texture as well as durability.
Flat paints are
recommended for the ceiling as well as formal spaces. However, they make
cleaning a bit difficult. Glossy paints become a preferred choice since they’re
easy to clean or stain-resistant too.
4#
Use the Right Equipment
Rollers have become the
go-to choice for painting as they observe the pain well and prevent wastage
too. The lamb’s wool roller with a 1/2” nap holds the paint perfectly without
making it look too heavy. However, if you to highlight the texture, then you
should go for longer nap rollers. For the corners and cutting, have a
high-grade brush.
5#
Paint with Perfection
The rule of thumb is to
start with the ceiling and descend towards the walls. To make it perfect, do
the walls and then go to the moulding around the windows, and lastly, the
baseboard. Use the roller on large areas and get as close as possible to the
edges.
Apply double coat for
perfect results and use a sash brush for edges. If needed, apply sand and
remove dust before applying the second coat.
