Interior painting ... seeing too much of the edging lines.?
Question:I'm painting some of my rooms and I'm seeing too much of the edging lines after I'm done. I tried to edge with less paint, but still see the lines. Any tips and tricks out there?
Answers:
2nd coat or try keeping a wet edge if the paint has a shine-you want to cut and roll one wall at a time and roll as close as you can to what is cut in(ceiling,frame,base etc...)making sure the paint is applied evenly
Roll a second coat.
you probably should try useing painters tape that way you can paint more freely and not have to be so careful of not getting paint out of line. which is probably what is going on. the tape allows you more freedom and you can paint better without worrying about painting perfect. after your desired coats just lift the tape.also you may not be useing a good paint brush.
Sounds like your using a dark color or Red, Try rolling closer to the corners and the molding. Or just letting it dry for a few days.
