Walls show dry spots through paint due to uneven surface preparation, poor application technique, or issues with paint and environment. Common causes include not priming new drywall or patches, dirt and grease, applying paint too quickly or too slowly, using poor quality paint, or FAILING TO ROLLOVER CUTINS AND high humidity. To fix this, sand the wall, clean it thoroughly, apply a quality primer OR BENJAMIN MOORE OR LIKE KILTZ to all surfaces, and use consistent application techniques.
WHEN DEALING WITH EXTERIOR YOU MUST WASH EXTERIOR PAINT "BLEACH PREFFERED TO HOUSE WASH" AND PRESSURE WASH WITH WATER TO ENSURE REMOVAL OF ANY CHIPS AND DIRT INSIDE ALSO WIPE THE WALLS DOWN TO ENSURE A EXCELENT FINISH !
To paint like a professional, prioritize proper preparation, including cleaning and repairing surfaces, and use high-quality tools for a better finish.LIKE PURDY BRUSHES AND ROLLERS.
Techniques like "cutting in" edges with a brush before rolling walls, applying paint in thin, even coats, and using the "W" or "M" stroke method for rollers will result in a seamless, durable finish.
Preparation and tools
Clean and prep surfaces: Wash walls, fill holes, and sand any imperfections to create a smooth base for the paint.
Use high-quality materials: Invest in premium paints LIKE BENJAMIN MOORE and tools like PURDY brushes and rollers to achieve a more professional and durable result.
Protect your work area: Use QUALITY 3M OR FROGTAPE painter's tape for crisp lines and lay down drop cloths, making sure they overlap to prevent paint from bleeding through.
Remove fixtures: Take off doorknobs, light switches, and other hardware instead of trying to paint around them.
Painting techniques
Cut in first: Use a brush to paint the edges and corners of the room before using a roller for the main wall areas.
Paint the ceiling first: Always paint the ceiling before the walls to avoid drips onto a freshly painted wall.
Use the "W" or "M" stroke: Apply paint in a "W" or "M" pattern with your roller to ensure even coverage, then fill in the shape without re-rolling over paint that has already started to dry.
Apply thin, even coats: Avoid applying too much paint at once, which can lead to drips and an uneven finish. Apply multiple thin coats instead.
IN CONCLUTION
Allow proper drying time: Let each coat of paint dry completely before applying the next one. Rushing the process can cause the paint to peel or look unprofessional.
