How to Paint Trim The best way to paint trim like a pro is to use an airless sprayer-a sprayer doesn’t leave brush strokes. Sprayers can be rented at many home centers or paint stores. Carefully cover surrounding areas with tape and plastic to avoid overspray problems. If you don’t want to bother with a […]

how to paint
* Load up a section of wall with paint, and then even out that paint. Don’t try to make paint look perfectly even from the moment you apply it to a surface. Instead, focus first on getting enough paint onto every part of a section of wall roughly two to three feet wide. Apply a […]

how to paint
* Load up your roller with lots of paint. Painting with too little paint on a roller, known as “dry napping,” results in tiny gaps in the paint-it’s among the most common mistakes DIYer painters make. A too-dry roller even could pick up paint already applied rather than lay additional paint down. Not sure if […]

Painting Three pro tips for applying paint… * Paint edges first. On walls, use a paint brush to “cut in” paint around moldings, ceilings and other edges before you use your roller on rest of the wall. DIYers sometimes do this in the reverse order because they want to delay doing the tricky edge bits […]

Painting Tips
* Add latex extender to latex paint before applying it with a brush. When DIYers brush on latex paint, their brush strokes often remain visible. Pros use an additive that causes latex paint to dry more slowly and smoothly. (This additive isn’t necessary when latex paint is applied with a roller, though there is no […]

Handy Tips
* Combine cans of paint if you expect to use more than one. If you purchased multiple cans of the same color paint for a large paint job, mix them all together in a five-gallon bucket (or deep-well tray, if you can find a tray large enough for multiple cans of paint) before painting. Pros […]

Handy Tips
* Press down on your painter’s tape…and then press down on it again. You probably already know that painters tape can protect adjacent surfaces that you do not want to paint, such as moldings and window frames. But when DIYers peel away this tape after painting, they often discover that paint has gotten underneath. Simply […]

Four important pre-painting steps that DIYers often overlook… * Use a degreaser before painting surfaces within five feet or so of a cooktop. Paint will not stick properly to kitchen walls, ceilings or cabinets if these are coated in oil from cooking. Conventional cleaning products won’t necessarily remove this grease-use a product specifically designed to […]

Handy Tips
A deep-well roller tray…or a paint bucket and grid. The deeper your paint tray, the less time you waste refilling it with paint. Buy disposable paint tray liners, too-they save you from having to clean out your tray. Or do what many pros do and skip the tray entirely-instead, dip your roller directly into a […]
