Painting Process
Paint in this order:
Ceiling
Walls
Trim
Cabinets
Doors
And remember to always paint from top-down!
ceiling, walls, trim
Just as stated, just make sure you paint all the corners and where walls meet the ceiling first
buy a book!
Alright, First of all.. If your right handed, paint left to right and vice versa if you are left handed. Remember to always paint top to bottom. Paint the ceiling first (especially if it is a stiple ceiling)... Than paint any windows or doorframes. Then, you need to do all the cutting in the room. (ie. Cut in all the corners, where the wall meets the ceiling, up against the baseboards, and around any outlets/accesories.) When cutting, if you find trim that is less than about 8 inches in width, just use your brush to paint it. Anything bigger than that, use your roller to finish it after the necessary cutting. Finish by rolling the entire room, and do the doors last. I have a lot of tips to make the paint job look as professional and easy for you as possible.
