Use masking tape to cover baseboards, sockets and light switches.<\/p>\n<p>Fill any holes and cracks with Presto FL renovation filler. Sand the dried surface and remove sanding dust. \u00a0Paint the patched surfaces with Varma Primer. The wall is painted with matte Harmony Interior Paint.<\/p>\n<p>(Alternatively, you may choose to use any of Tikkurila\u2019s other super eco-friendly paints, e.g. Joker Interior Wall Paint, Premium Ecological Interior Paint, Toha Kids Room Paint, Nova Plast 7 Wall Paint, etc.)<\/p>\n<p>Mark off the edges either with a paint edger or a brush and masking tape.\u00a0It\u2019s recommended to use an extension pole while painting. It makes painting more ergonomic and the end result will be tidier.<\/p>\n<p>Cover the paint tray with a plastic\u00a0bag so it will remain tidy for the next time it is used. Roll the roller in the tray so that it is completely covered by paint and to ensure that the paint is well absorbed.<\/p>\n<p>Try the same amount of paint consistently so that the surface will be uniform.\u00a0Start painting from the right if you are right-handed.\u00a0Ensure there is enough lighting.<\/p>\n<p>Apply the paint 2 or 3 roller widths at a time in crisscross strokes and finish in sole strokes going from the bottom of the wall upwards. \u00a0Always keep the side of the roller that is attached to the pole\u00a0away from the finished surface as that side of the roller is heavier.<\/p>\n<p>The painted surface will dry quickly so don\u2019t touch the painted surface again. You can apply a second coat in an hour if necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Wrap up the tools tightly in a plastic bag for the duration of the break. Remove the masking tape as soon as you have finished painting. Wipe the sides of the paint can and close the lid carefully. Wash the tools with soap and water or tikkurila\u2019s special tool cleaner.<\/p>\n<p>You can now enjoy the refreshed atmosphere in your home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Correct tools are the key to success Roller Roller pole Extension pole Paint tray Masking tape Paint edger Presto LF filler Maalipesu (Cleaning Agent) Pensselipesu (Tool Cleaner) Painting interior walls is an easy and quick way to remodel an apartment. \u00a0These instructions will help even novices to achieve a good end result.
