We can hire a painting company, but it just paint for us and let it pay well, and then worse – cleaning etc. is the same for us. So is not it better to do it all by yourself and save at least a lot of money?
Preparing is important
Do not underestimate, you will be better and more comfortable to paint. So the ideal thing is to bring all the furniture out of the room where it is not, so move it in the middle. From the walls remove everything that would obstruct – pictures, sockets, switches. Remove the lights and stick the frames of the windows and doors to make them uncolored. Frames are sold with special cover strips, which are then simply removed. Keep the furniture and everything in the room carefully, because if it penetrates, it does not leave.
If you have a painting, you have to scrape it. Where the holes are on the walls, bury them.
Do not forget about the weather, winter can be painted, but it is getting worse. Therefore, choose warmer moons, painting needs ventilation and ideal outside temperature is 15 – 25 ° C. Prepare a good number of brushes, rollers and, of course, the basic, choose the right colors.
Color choices and how much to buy?
Of course, it depends on the taste of the individual, the tone of colors that the room wants to tune in, and the trends often change. Generally speaking, it is better to use light colors in a smaller or darker room to enlarge and lighten optically. You can use washable colors in the corridor, in the children’s room and in the kitchen.
Calculate the amount of paint from the surface area to be treated, with at least two coats. In specialized stores, shades of color will not only mix you according to your wishes, but will also help you with lots when you add rates.
Penetration
Definitely yes. It unites absorbency of the substrate and increases the adhesion to other coatings and the paint will better cover. You will use penetration for new walls, for scratched and restored walls, but also for old paintings. What kind of penetration to use, you will be advised by experts when buying it.
How to paint?
Painting in the daylight and brushing all the corners, corners, places around radiators, switches, drawers, door or window frames at first. And then you put a ceiling on the ceiling in the direction of the incident light, which is usually from the windows to the door. For painting, use the roller that you have on the telescopic pole so you do not have to climb the stairs.
Afterwards, you have to go to the walls, count at least two coats, let the paint dry out first, and at the temperature of 20 ° C you have to wait for four hours. You can make the first thinner painting irregular, cross-cut, but cover the entire surface. The second coat with a thicker color is done regularly and accurately, the individual stripes are placed at a small distance apart, then you are skewed on the wall and the painting ends with the parallel strokes.
Males
Everyone, especially an amateur painter, is scorned, even if they do not even get away with the pros. Smells we call males. You will see them reliably. After drying. It’s hiding your walls or ceiling, you could not do anything worse in the whole job. How to prevent cats? It is best to use penetration and always paint the paint with the roller, and unify it undamaged into a uniform layer across the painted surface.
Domalized!
If you’re done on the walls to your liking, you just have to clean and move the furniture. Brrr! But nothing can be done. So a rag and a bucket of water in your hand and it’s up to it …
