Firstly there has to be some common sense method of operation. The correct rder in which to paint a room is from top to bottom. Tthe ceiling should be first and then followed by the walls, windows, doors and lastly the skirting boards. Adopt a common sense approach and start at the highest point so that any drips will not cause a problem. Good interior painting is as simple as ABC There is many reasons why interior painting is the nation's most popular home improvement project.

Painting can quickly and dramatically transform the appearance of a room, an apartment or an entire home and colour has a great accent; it's personally rewarding; it's inexpensive; and it's fun. Colours have a tremendous effect on our well being both consciously and sublimely. Moreover, interior painting when properly planned is relatively. Even people who have not painted before can often get very high standard painting results by following just three simple rules ABC. Rule A - Prepare the surface properly ? To achieve high paint performance you need to have good paint adhesion, and paint adheres best to surfaces that are properly prepared and ready for the paint basically they to be clean and sound.

Before one even thinks about picking up a brush or roller, it's most important to make sure the surface is "inviting" to the paint. ? It is very important that any build up of dirt, dust and grime should be removed from the walls, ceilings and skirting boards with a water based detergent solution. After washing down the surfaces should be thoroughly rinsed with water and allowed to dry completely.

? Next, a putty knife should be used to fill cracks, holes and other surface imperfections with either spackling compound or a quality acrylic caulk. If spackling is used, after it is dry it should be sanded smooth and flush with the surface; caulk should be smoothed and feathered as it is applied. ? Finally, if walls or ceilings have water stains or other serious stains or discolouration, then before painting, it may be necessary to coat them with a latex stain-blocking primer to prevent the stains from coming through the new paint. Rule B - Use only top quality paint ? Compared with plain ordinary interior paints, the better top quality finishes are much easier to work with and offer superior long-term performance.

Often a more expensive paint is better value as it covers better and is easier to work with. ? There many benefits when using top quality paints as not only do they spread well but they contain an active ingredient so that they do not drip or won't spatter and tend not to show brush marks. As the better quality paints cover better than ordinary paints, a single coat can often be sufficient to give a great looking result to any painting job and at the same time be able to save on the length of time with resulting savings in labour and costs.

? High quality interior paints are by their continual development tougher and more durable than ordinary interior paints. These paints resist fading, yellowing and staining. Even if the finish does do get stained discoloration can often be washed off without damaging the finish. Rule ? C Always Invest in the best quality tools ? In order to be able to maximize and achieve the best results from top quality interior paint, it should be applied with the best quality brushes and rollers. Not only do they allow you to apply the paint more evenly, but they will also simply make the job much more effortless and enjoyable at the same time.

? A good paint brushes will be well balanced and be able to hold sufficient paint but will also allow you to apply the paint with a more even spread. Look for brushes with tightly packed bristles and test them for springiness and resilience. Also they should not fan too much. When applying the much more popular latex or water-based interior paints, it's important to use brushes and rollers with synthetic bristles and covers.

They will maintain the proper stiffness and keep their shape regardless of the amount of water that they are exposed to. Remember. Interior painting can be as simple as ABC one-two-three. But unfortunately there are no shortcuts. The best surface preparation, top quality paint and high quality tools are all very essential to get the best results that you deserve.

The old adage rings true here that if a job is worth doing its worth doing well.
