Making The Walls Ready For The Paint – Interior Painting Ideas

Preparing for painting walls, at first, you should removing all the things from the floor, and continue the removal process by removing items on the wall. Pictures, nails, and even outlet and electrical covers all should be removed. The condition of the walls determine the amount of color needed and the finish. Here are some points to be careful about:

 If the walls are never painted before, they will soak a large amount of paint if applied directly, thus a coat of primer should always be used as the base coat.
 It also gives you a smoother finish.
 If your walls have already been painted, use a paint scraper to remove any loose or chipped old paint.
 Fill any drywall holes with spackling compound too. Clean dirt off your painting surface.
 Hardware and paint stores carry stain blocking products you can spray or brush on. (via)

Remember: Small holes and cracks can be filled with spackling or wall joint compound. Apply a small amount in and over the hole with a putty knife and smooth carefully, feathering the putty out in all directions as you move away from the hole. Allow the hole to dry before continuing and if necessary, sand and fill the hole a second time. Don’t forget to inspect areas around windows and doors, as well as corners for small cracks that need to be repaired. Fill these with a paintable latex caulk. Once the filler is completely dry, sand the surface smooth.

Larger cracks or missing areas of plaster will need to be repaired with patching plaster. The pros at your local home store can tell you about the supplies and tools you’ll need to do the job. (via)
