The proper preparation of walls stands as a fundamental requirement for producing perfect paint results. Begin by using a combination of damp cloth and mild detergent to clean the walls before removing dirt and grime. Spackle or joint compound should be used to fix all wall imperfections including nail holes and cracks. Smooth down the repaired areas after the drying process completes.
Painter’s tape should be applied across trim and windows and ceilings to avoid paint from splattering these areas. Before starting your project you need to choose a premium-grade primer because it will help you achieve a smooth surface particularly when you paint dark colors or shiny surfaces. The primer needs full drying time before you begin painting with your selected color.
The extensive preparation work leads to better paint adhesion and a flawless finish which produces professional-level results. Proper prep work leads to major improvements in both appearance quality and paint job duration.
