Have you a wall that
needs painting and don’t know how? Maybe you have painted before but never
without taping the walls. Then its time
to get started by following these simple guidelines. You do not have to be an artist
to paint a wall. All you need are the proper tools. And trust me when I tell
you, you do not need tapings for your wall. It is simply a waste of money and
it will not be as simple a method as this.
Most people waste their
time in taping their walls to make sure they can paint in the right way and not
do it wrong. They fail to realize that taping is the wrong way to go. One has
to spend many hours taping and then do the painting based on that. Most of the
time the paint drips from the painting onto the floor and its not a pretty
sight.
Now before you start,
make sure that every furniture in your room is completely covered by some sort
of sloth or some sheets. This will make sure that if some paint does tend to
fly around it will land on the sheets rather than on your sofa. Also make sure
to cover that part of the floor as well that is connected to the wall. We do
not want the floor dripping in paint from the wall.
Now that we have that
covered, we choose paint. Make sure that the paint is from a good manufacturer
otherwise it wont matter how many coats of paint we apply on the wall. Next, we
need a paintbrush and firstly we have to break it in a bit to make sure it’s a
bit flexible.
Since you don’t have
taping, concentrate on a simple flow of motion of your brush. Hold it like in
your hand as if you were drawing a picture. After wetting the tip of the brush
well with paint, holding your steady try to make a simple motion with your
brush on the wall. Starting from upwards and push the tip downwards and then
repeat the flow again. If you wish you can also use an angled brush if you so
choose. If you wish to save more time, use a paint roller and apply paint by
pushing the handle up and down.
After you have given
the wall two paints of coat, your wall has been painted. You can let it dry for
a couple of hours before taking away all the cloths from your surrounding
furniture and floor. Visit Firacolor for more details.
