If you’re an ambitious homeowner, then you may have a number of painting projects planned for the next several months. In this case, you will want to clean your equipment, brushes and rollers after each use so that your tools will perform well for all your upcoming projects and, you’ll save time and money from having to run to the store to replace them.
In our previous post we showed you how you can fix small holes in walls. Now, you will probably also want to know ho to fix larger holes. These large holes may have been caused when moving large furniture or by rowdy teenagers. Whatever the case, you can fill in these holes easily, achieve a smooth surface and repaint to that the wall looks as good as new.
One very important part of prepping your walls for interior house painting is filling in any small holes in your walls. It sounds simple enough but if you’re an inexperienced painter you will want to know all the steps that professional painters take in order to get a smooth even finish once the paint colour is applied.
One big question that many homeowners have when taking on a DIY painting project is how much paint they will need. And, the answer isn’t always the same. Sometimes it depends on the texture of the walls because some surfaces can absorb a lot more paint than others. And, it also depends on the existing colour on the walls. Dark colours are going to require more paint to cover it, especially if you are repainting the walls a lighter colour.
