CLEAR THE SpACE Remove pictures, draperies, curtain rods and fixtures, such as switch plates and outlet covers. Move furniture away from walls. CLEAN Remove any dirt, dust or grease with a mild household detergent and let dry thoroughly. REpAIR Scrape away any peeling paint. Fill cracks and holes with spackling compound or caulk; sand surfaces smooth. TApE Mask off window trim, baseboards, door frames and any other areas not to be painted. pROTECT Cover the floor and furniture with drop cloths. Painting Once the room and the surface are ready, it's time to start seeing your vision come to life! Start by reviewing the can label for instructions and dry time. Whether you're beginning with a primer or using a self-priming paint, we suggest the method below: CUT-IN Using a flat brush, paint a 3" border around windows and doors, at the ceiling and baseboards, and in room corners. ROLLINg Working in a 3' x 3' area, start rolling. Many people find it helpful to roll a large "W" or "Z" onto the surface and fill in around it. Finish the area by rolling horizontally across it. Move on quickly to the next section. Overlap the cut-in areas. TRIM Use a 1" or 2" angle brush to coat window and door frames, sashes, moldings and woodwork. Clean Up Use soap and warm water to clean latex paint from your brushes and rollers. Oil or alkyd paints can be cleaned using turpentine or paint thinner. Use these solvents in a well-ventilated area. Follow manufacturer's safety recommendations when using solvents. Set brushes and rollers to dry thoroughly in a position where the bristles and nap won't be flattened. Carefully remove masking tape when the paint is dry but not fully cured, typically within 30–60 minutes after application. Pull tape slowly from the surface at a 45° angle. If the paint is still wet, it may smudge, but try to avoid letting the paint dry completely. If paint is completely dry or the paint begins to lift with the tape, use a razor blade or a utility knife along the edge of the tape before removing it. Hold the blade flat to the wall and slip it under the tape to avoid gouging or scratching the wall.
