Paint In The Right Order
1 Ceiling
Always paint the ceiling first so you don't drip on the walls. Paint across the short width to get a more even finish.
2 Walls
Paint the borders and corners first and work downwards.
3 Windows and Doors
Mask the areas you don't want to paint like hinges, frames, latches, knobs, etc. For windows, pay the inner frame first and work outwards. For doors, paint in the following order: moulded surfaces, panels, horizontal segments, vertical segments and finally the edges.
4 Floor
Always leave to the last, and only when all the other sections have dried thoroughly.
Paint Smart
1 Paint the difficult areas first
Difficult areas include edges, corners, moulded edges and high spots.
2 Overlap your strokes
Keep your stroke continuous as you work on an area. Then overlap as you move from area to area.
3 Choose a direction and stick with it
Paint in an up-down or left-right. Always choose the most convenient and natural way for you. If using a brush, try dragging the brush downwards in one smooth motion.
4 Always paint two coats or more
Complete the first coat and allow it to dry before applying the next coat. Check the label on the paint can for drying time between each coat.
