Interior Painting Do's & Don'ts
What makes interior paint last vs what causes problems
✓ DO's
- Clean walls first - Dust and grease prevent adhesion
- Fill nail holes - Spackle, sand, prime for seamless finish
- Use quality primer - Essential for stain blocking and adhesion
- Apply 2 coats - One coat never covers properly
- Cut in before rolling - Edges first, then fill in
- Use proper sheen - Match sheen to room function
- Allow dry time - Don't rush between coats
✗ DON'Ts
- Don't skip prep - Most failures start with bad prep
- Don't use cheap paint - Requires more coats, fades faster
- Don't paint over wallpaper - It will peel eventually
- Don't ignore cracks - They'll show through new paint
- Don't overload roller - Causes drips and uneven coverage
- Don't paint in humidity - Affects dry time and adhesion
- Don't forget ventilation - Even low-VOC needs airflow
