11 Ways to Completely Revamp Your Montclair exterior painting

Plume Out Paint Where You Can Not Maintain a Damp Edge

You can not cover big locations like ceilings, extra-tall wall surfaces or 4shared.com/s/fUQgpqtMXge stairwells in single, continuous strokes, so the most effective method to reduce lap marks on these locations is to feather out the paint along the edges that you can not maintain damp. The thinner, feathery coat of paint will prevent the buildup that causes the lap mark.

To repaint a huge area without leaving lap marks, roll the nearly dry roller in various directions along the completely dry side, feathering out the paint as you go. After completing the whole size of the wall surface or ceiling, move to the following section and paint over the feathery sides.

For the 2nd layer, use the paint in the opposite direction. This crisscrossing paint application greatly lowers (otherwise removes) lap marks.

Sand Trim In Between Coats for an Ultra-Smooth Complete

One coat of paint usually won't conceal the underlying shade and also shine on trim. And also if you don't sand the surface area smooth between coats, the surface may have a grainy texture. For a smooth surface, sand the trim before applying each layer of paint.

Sand the trim with a fine-grit fining sand sponge. Sponges enter gaps where sandpaper can't go as well as let you apply even pressure.

Then use the first coat of paint, allow it dry a minimum of 24 hours, gently sand it once more for a completely smooth surface area, and use the 2nd layer. After each sanding, vacuum the trim, then wipe it down with a tack fabric to remove the dirt.
