Painting jobs can be a challenge, and getting a neat, straight line can be very trying. Prepare a room for painting prior to painting so that there are minimal interruptions once painting begins. Wall hangings should be removed or covered with a drop cloth before painting. Furniture should be pulled away from walls to make setting up a ladder a quick process.
Instructions
1. Press painter's tape firmly on the wall or ceiling that you need to protect. Make sure that the edges do not have any gaps that could allow paint to leak underneath. Painter's tape does not work well on textured finishes.
2. Apply paint to a foam brush with a tapered edge. Carefully put the tapered edge of the brush into the corner and use short strokes to apply the paint. This can be done on the wall or the ceiling. These brushes clean up very quickly and, because they are inexpensive, you have the option of throwing them away after using them. Foam brushes are not recommended for textured ceilings.
3. Paint using a tapered brush with a moderate amount of paint. Use short strokes to apply the paint. A paintbrush can be used to paint a textured surface.
4. Lay a flat-style applicator with rollers (see picture) into the paint and apply it to the wall or ceiling. The rollers keep it just the right distance from the wall or ceiling that you do not want painted. If paint does get on the rollers, wipe it off with a damp sponge or rag. You can purchase this product or a similar one wherever paint is sold. It is not recommended for textured surfaces.
