Tips to paint quickly and easily
Painting your walls is the easiest way to freshen up your surroundings. Using paint you can change the look of a single room in just a few hours. But this can turn into a nightmare if you do not do it carefully. Professional painters know that time is valuable, so they use some tricks to paint faster, smarter, and neater without sacrificing quality. You too can paint faster without sacrificing quality by using some tips discussed here. Prep the Surface A successful paint job starts with properly preparing the surface you are going to paint. To use a perfectly smooth coat of paint to walls, ceilings, and woodwork, you need to start with a superbly smooth surface. This means you need to scrape, sand, patch, and fill every hole, crack, dent, and surface imperfection. Also, remove the light switch and electric socket faceplates, and door stoppers. And all wall art and nails dropped too. Itu2019s the foremost important part. Use the proper tools Donu2019t cheap out on paint and brushes. Cheap brushes are a false economy. Purchase the most effective brushes you'll be able to afford, clean them well, and theyu2019ll last you a lifetime. Quality brushes are worth their weight in gold. They cost extra because they last longer than their cheaper counterparts, don't shed brush hairs, and are less likely to go away with unsightly brush marks that are hard to cover. This implies you'll spend less time going back over your work trying to hide the marks, and longer enjoying your new room. Tint the Primer Priming walls and ceilings are mandatory whenever you're painting new drywall or painting over a dark color. But it's smart to prime any time you paint. Tinted primer does a much better job of concealing patched areas and covering up the old paint color. Professional painters will often tint the primer toward the finished color by mixing a little amount of topcoat paint into the primer. This trick greatly enhances the power of the topcoat to completely hide the primed surface. Better to Use Canvas Drop Cloths The Canvas Drop Cloths are used by professional painters. They donu2019t use old bed sheets as drop cloths, and neither should you. Thin sheets wonu2019t stop splatters and spills from seeping through to your flooring. And donu2019t use plastic sheeting either. While plastic does contain spills, the paint stays wet for way too very long time. Canvas drop cloths are dearer, but it isnu2019t slippery, it absorbs splatters, and itu2019s durable enough to last a lifetime. Paint the edges around walls and doors. Some people prefer to edge first, some people wish to edge last. But edging is more tedious and time-consuming so attempt to get it out of the way first. Use the Quick Painter Pad Edge Painter to edge the whole room. This can be an excellent little tool because you'll be able to suck paint up into the handle and dispense it directly onto the pad as required. And it's a good little guide that keeps you from getting paint onto the adjoining wall. This worked great for the tops of walls, the corners, down near the baseboards, and in other small spaces within the room. Paint the walls within the room quickly too After edging quickly paint the walls. As already edged the space, just needed to roll the paint onto the walls fast. Check that your paint roller's handle contains a threaded hole within the end, and then simply twist it onto the extension pole. Paint the Trim. After the walls were completely painted, go back and paint the trim. You may use a paintbrush or the Quick Painter to color the trim. Bottom Line With these tips and tricks, you'll be able to quickly paint a space, it'll take only a few hours to prep, tape, edge, and paint, which really isn't too long! And also the room will look so nice with a fresh coat of paint on the walls and trim! To buy the best quality paint at an affordable price in India, feel free to contact Neo Pack Plast.
