First thing you want to do is prepare the surface. Unless your home has gone through a war zone, there most likely won’t be much preparation. All you are going to need to do is be sure it is smooth and sanded if you have to.
Second step is priming. This is an easy step and the object is to make sure the primer you use is tinted as close as possible to the finish color. This makes it much more simpler to apply the final coat of paint.
Third step is to prepare the surface once more. This step is used to make sure you haven’t missed anything from the first go around. Things like holes caused by nails, or any other blemishes like dents in the wall. You will use a drywall compound to fill in any of those holes.
Fourth step is to put on that first coat of paint. With this step you want to brush one surface wall at a time.
Fifth step is going to be another surface preparation type of step. You are performing this step to double check the surface one more time so to ensure that the surface is smooth before you put on that last coat of paint. Once more, any of the imperfections you may find can be taken care of with a drywall compound.
Final step is to apply the second coat of paint. This is going to be the best part because your hard work will now all come together for you to see. So once again, apply and finish one surface wall at a time. Make sure that the coat of paint is distributed evenly.
Follow all these six steps and you will be pleased with the outcome of your home improvement. A beautiful coat of paint can turn a drab and dreary room into a beautiful new looking room.
