Basic Painting Tips
I am not a professional contractor of any kind. All the information I provide was learned through trial and error, reading advice on other web sites and of course reading instruction manuals.

My first bit of advice, if your confident in your painting skills, do the job yourself. If you let somone else that is not a professional painter you will likely not be happy. I speak from experience. (I'll never let my sister in law paint any walls in my house again.)

Now I am not an expert painter but I do pretty good work. Here are a few tips:

  • Take your time and do a good job preparing for paint. Fill any holes with spackle and sand.
  • Tape, tape and tape some more.
  • Cover those floors with plastic or some sort of tarp.
  • If your doing a large room it might be worth buying a power roller. I bought a Wagner power roller and it does an excellent job. But cleaning the roller is a pain so use it only if you plan on painting with one color on a large surface area.

I plan to list some helpful sites in the near future. So please check back for updates.
