Larger Paint Brush: Q When you have finished working with the larger paint brush, and the color is the strength and intensity you want, use a smaller paint brush to soften the edges and spread out the glaze.
Continue to paint the rest of the first Wall and then the remaining walls in this order. Complete one Wall in full before you begin the next. To paint around a window, first paint around the frame with a small brush and then fill in the surrounding Wall space with a larger brush, roller, or pad. Once this is done, give the frames of first the door and then the window a top coat. Then paint the door of the room and add any covering to the Floor last. Paint the coving and baseboards after the ceiling and walls are completed.See Also Paint Ing:There are also a few vital special items: triangular shave hooks and Flexible scrapers for removing old paint ing; masking tape for protecting surfaces not to be paint inged; paint ing shield of metal or plastic to restrict paint ing to the area being paint inged; tack or tacky rag to pick up dust; clean, lint-free rags; paint ing stirrer (there is one usable with a power drill); paint ing buckets.
Use a bucket so the bulk of your paint ing stays free from contamination. It also makes carrying paint ing - especially up ladders - much easier, since not all paint ing cans have handles.
The way you apply paint ing is largely a matter of personal choice. You can use brushes in conjunction with a paint ing-roller - a tool developed for the amateur user of latex paint ing. The paint ing pad has its advantages, too.
On The Other Hand See Paint The Frame:Paint woodwork with an oil-based paint, preferably a gloss for the highest level of protection. Apply the paint following the grain, working in strips. Next, work the brush across the grain and then, with light strokes, follow the grain as you did on the first application to ensure even coverage and a smooth finish. Note, that you should always brush out toward an edge - for example, of a door frame - to prevent the paint from forming an unsightly ridge.
When painting window frames or around glass panes in a door, mask off the panes where they meet the frame to prevent a clean-up job after the paint has dried.
To complete the edges of the door (7), use a small brush. Paint the frame of the door last with a small brush (8).
For a panelled door, the sequence is a little more complicated (see below). First, paint the moldings around the panels (1) and then the panels themselves (2). Start with the upper panels and work from top to bottom. Begin each panel at the top and work downward, painting vertical brush strokes followed by light upward ones. Next, paint the section that runs down the middle of the door dividing the panels (3). Continue by coating the horizontal rails, starting at the top and working down (4). Complete the outer vertical strips and then do all the door edges (5). Last, paint the whole door frame (6).
