Surface preparation
•
Always remove wallpaper before painting.
Wash off old adhesive and rinse with water.
Allow the walls to dry before painting.
•
Wash and rinse dirt, grease and oil build-up off
the walls with soap and water.
•
Fill all nail holes, joints and cracks with
patching paste. Let dry and sand the surface
until smooth. Clean sanded area with a damp
cloth.
•
Spot prime all patched areas and any marker
and/or pen marks before applying first coat.
TIP:
Write the important information from your

paintinG the room
TIP: If you need more than one gallon of paint to
do the room's walls, mix them together to ensure
color uniformity.
•
Always make sure to open a window or door to
ensure proper ventilation. If you are painting
both the ceiling and walls in your room, start
with the ceiling first and then move to the
walls.
Ceilings:
•
Paint across the short width of the ceiling.
Walls:
•
Tape off around base and window and door
trim.
•
Paint one wall at a time.
•
Pick an area to start where you can saturate
the roller cover and evenly distribute the
paint. Working in three-foot sections, begin by
cutting-in around windows, doors, cabinets,
base and other breaks in the wall surface with
a pad or brush.
•
Start painting at one end of a wall and roll out
the letter "W". Fill it in with crosswise strokes,
working your way across the wall in 3' x 3'
sections. Finish the sections by painting one
solid swipe from ceiling to floor. This will give
you a nice even paint finish.
•
Be careful not to over-saturate the roller cover
as it may drip, slide on the wall or spatter.
•
Make sure to run the roller cover over the areas
you cut-in around the trim and baseboards to
even out the texture.
•
If you need to stop and take a break; finish
painting the entire wall, or stop at a break
in the wall such as a doorway or corner to
prevent lap marks.
loadiNg the roller
1.
Push plunger forward until you see paint

2.

TIP: During extended break periods, place a plastic
bag around the roller cover and fill valve to keep it
from drying out.
TIP: For best results, maintain a steady flow of
material to the roller. cover and avoid rolling it dry.
