PREPARING THE SURFACE
When painting a room, the first step (and probably the most important) is preparing the surface. Poor surface preparation is the number one cause of paint failure and can ruin your desired effect if not done properly.
ROLLERS
Painting should start at the top and work towards the bottom, painting the ceilings, then the walls, and finally the trim and woodwork. But before you can start, you need to choose the right tools for the job!
Rollers make painting large surfaces quick and easy. But, buying a roller is not as simple as walking into the store and grabbing the first one you see. You need to consider the size of the surface you are painting, the texture, and the type of paint you want to apply.
PAINT BRUSHES
Paint brushes are probably the tool most people reach for when painting. However, not many people take the time to select a brush suitable for the job they are about to start. The brush can make or break the job, so consider your needs before buying.
ADDITIONAL TOOLS
A brush and a roller aren't the only tools you can use when painting. There are many extras on the market that save time and give your job a professional edge.
