Surface Preparation
Clean the wall of dust and grease stains. Fill cracks and chips with filler. Once dry, sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper. Apply a primer — this will improve paint adhesion and reduce consumption.
Choosing Paint and Tools
Water-based emulsion paint is best for living spaces — it dries quickly, has no strong odour and is easy to clean. Choose a roller with 10–12 mm nap for rough surfaces or 6–8 mm for smooth ones.
Application Technique
Apply paint in two coats — the second after the first is completely dry. Move the roller in a "W" shape, then smooth out with vertical strokes. Don't apply too thick a coat — this causes drips.
