Next the woodwork around the doors and windows and
finally the skirtings.
This way, the paint splashing from the ceiling will
not ruin other painted areas.
Paint the difficult areas such as edges and corners
first with the use of a brush. Dip only the end third
of the brush bristles into the paint and use long continuous
sweeps of the brush edge to form a neat line.
To paint the walls, you may use a wide brush or roller.
A roller gives the best finish and is quicker. Apply the
paint from the top right hand corner of the first wall
in overlapping up-and-down strokes. You should overlap
your strokes when moving from area to area.
Always apply two or more coats of paint. Complete the
first coat and let it dry before painting the second coat.
Refer to the can as to how much time is required for the
first coat to dry.
Wash all equipment immediately after completion. For emulsion
paint, use water. For oil-based paint, use turpentine
or thinner.
