Professional painting tips for DIYers. How to get clean lines, avoid drips, and make your paint job look pro.

Painting Tips from a Professional

Prep Is 80% of the Job

Fill every nail hole. Sand every rough spot. Tape every edge. Prime bare surfaces. The prep is what makes the final result look right.

Use Quality Brushes and Rollers

A $15 brush cuts cleaner lines than a $3 brush. Purdy and Wooster make excellent brushes worth the investment.

The W Technique

Roll paint in a W pattern first, then fill in without lifting the roller. This distributes paint evenly and prevents roller lines.

Two Coats, Always

One coat never looks as good as you think it will once it dries. Two coats gives you even coverage and true color.
