How is paint done?

Published in Painting Techniques 1 min read

Painting a wall involves a specific technique to ensure even coverage. The process is as follows:

First, you apply paint to the wall using a roller. Start by rolling the paint onto the wall in a 3-by-3-foot "W" shape.

Next, without lifting the roller, work your way back across that "W," filling in any empty patches. This method helps to achieve an even coat of paint on the wall.

Finally, after completing one coat, you must wait 2-4 hours for the paint to fully dry before applying another coat, if needed.

Here's a summary in a table:

Step Description
1 Roll a 3-by-3-foot "W" shape with paint.
2 Fill in the "W" without lifting the roller.
3 Wait 2-4 hours for drying before another coat.

Here's an easy-to-follow list of the painting process:

  • Create a 3x3 foot W with paint on the wall.
  • Fill in the W shape without lifting the roller.
  • Let the coat dry for 2-4 hours before adding a second coat.
