I've always done my own painting and have plenty of tips, so I'll tell you what; when I begin to paint my (whole) house I'll give you a call, you can come and help me and I promise I'll share everything I know. :) <br /><br />One thing I am going to add to your list when working with taped surfaces, USE A LIGHT TOUCH when painting over the tape, otherwise you will risk seepage under it (no matter what the brand is). Best to do two or three coats as Kelly has suggested. Also, if doing a colour block wall or stripes, trying using a "sponge roller" for painting rather than the conventional type.<br /><br />Oh before I forget; briefly 'let your paint dry' means to the touch. Whereas 'let your paint cure' usually takes a matter of days. (ie: Never ever wallpaper over a freshly painted area until it has cured and/or subject new paint to moisture.) <br /><br />GREAT POST Kelly! -Brenda-mrsbenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13490065292054880863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148700470327447497.post-12981343973839781192012-04-05T04:57:48.498-07:002012-04-05T04:57:48.498-07:00I wish I had read this years ago.
