SOME STEPS INVOLVED IN DRYWALL PAINTING
Step One: Surface Preparation:
There should not be very much preparation except checking to make sure the wall have been
sanded and for dusting off the walls.
Step Two: Priming:
This is an easy stage. I prefer to have the primer tinted close to the finish color. This
makes it easier when applying the finish coats. You get better coverage from the finish
paint.First mix up the primer. Pour as much paint as the paint tray will hold.
Place the paint tray within 1 foot of the wall that you will be working on.Start in a
corner and work your way around the room. >Start by loading your roller.Rolling into
the paint several times until the paint roller is completely saturated.Placing the roller
half way up the wall and move upward.Close to the ceiling then down to near the floor.
Keeping on the original stroke each time.
After all the rolling is completed then you can stared to brush in the remaining areas.
Step Three: Surface Preparation:
Now check to find any nail holes, nicks or cuts that might have been overlooked
earlier.Use drywall compound to fill if necessary then sand complete surfaces. Dust off
the surfaces and proceed to he next step.
Step Four: Applying First Coat of Paint:
Take a brush and cut in. As you finish brushing one surface wall at a roll immediately.
Move to the surface wall and repeat procedure until all
surfaces are completed. Proceed to he next step.
Step Five: Surface Preparation:
Now check to find any imperfections that might have been overlooked earlier. Use drywall
compound. Fill if necessary then lightly sand completed surfaces. Dust off the surfaces
and proceed to he next step.
Step Six: Applying Second Coat of Paint:
The final coat of paint. Take a brush and cut in. As you finish brushing one surface wall
at a time roll immediately. Move to the next surface wall and repeat procedure until all
surfaces are completed. Proceed to he next room or clean up.
