Expert Painting Tips

Hiring a painter can be expensive when you want to refinish a whole room. It’s considerably cheaper to do it yourself. We’ve included a painter’s top tips if you tackle a painting job yourself: -Always use drop cloths on the floor and cover furniture with a plastic sheet or paint cloth to ensure paint doesn’t spray across your valuable furniture. -Wear a hat when painting the ceiling. It might seem that a roller won’t spray, but it does, which you’ll see on your hat and drop cloths. -Paint the outer edges first to achieve a smooth finish -Primer is your friend! It will make the paint stick and achieve a much better finish, even if the paint you buy is one of those “primer- and paint-in-one” products.
