Painting Tips & Guidelines
📏 Accurate Measurements
Measure walls carefully and subtract areas for doors and windows. Add 10% extra for touch-ups and waste.
🎨 Surface Preparation
Clean walls, fill holes, and sand rough spots before painting. Good prep ensures better coverage.
🧱 Primer When Needed
Use primer on new drywall, stained surfaces, or when making dramatic color changes.
🌡️ Weather Conditions
Paint in temperatures between 50-85°F with low humidity for best results and proper drying.
🔄 Multiple Coats
Two coats typically provide better coverage and color depth than one thick coat.
🖌️ Quality Tools
Invest in good brushes and rollers. They hold more paint and create smoother finishes.
