GENERAL ROLLING TIPS
PREPARING THE ROOM
Remove all pictures, mirrors, and decorations from
the walls and draperies from the windows. Remove
all nails, hardware and switch and receptacle covers.
Cover furniture and floor with drop cloths.
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
paint can (color, formula, brand and paint type) on
the back of a switch plate for future reference.
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
coming through the roller cover.
2.
Squeeze trigger for additional paint as needed.
3.
Refill as needed (see Filling the Main Tube,
page 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.
