Quick and Easy guide to Paint your Dream House Painting calls for an expert job or even a novice can do it ? Ask just any painting expert, and he'll tell you that his trade has big illusions .Everyone thinks they can paint—just watch how fast the color goes up and down on those home-makeover shows. hold a brush, a roller, and a couple gallons of latex, and you're all done, right? There are certain tricks of the trade that homeowners can learn to simplify their work explained by an expert at Painting company in Basking ridge.Put these pointers to work, and you'll find a difference in your paint job: 1. A Calculated color swatch Get a sample quantity of paint, brush two coats on a slab of foam core at least two to three meters, then place it against the wall. You'll get an idea about how your tint plays off your furniture and flooring. Move it around the room to see how it looks in different light conditions. Before you go to the paint store, take a tape and find out how much surface you want to paint—including the ceiling, measure the longest wall, and double the number for the ceiling. For the walls, take the area, then multiply those digits by four. we generally assume, one gallon covers three to four hundred sq. Feet. Twice the digit as per the number of coat. 2. Quality is Investment Invest in a premium paint. Why? Because cheap paint covers very well when it's wet—the first, and in many cases the last."There is only room for a gallon's worth of stuff in the can," says -basking ridge based painter XXXX, owner of Ridge Painting. "If you include more cheap ingredients you harm the longevity of the surface—and that's what holds it together." two coat is minimum requirement with an average interval of 2 hours between these two coats. 3. Know your tools Bristles of your brush should have slim tip- which is done by tapering. Synthetic bristles- a mix of nylon and polyester are good to use. Black sandpaper coated with silicon carbide— won't mess up as quickly as the standard brown kind, so it'll last long. A good brush will generally run you $12 to $15. "People think nothing before spending $10 on entertainment," says the owner of Ridge Painting Company, at Basking Ridge. "And they torture themselves while trying to paint with cheap equipment." 4. A clean sweep We always forget cleaning the walls—especially in the kitchen, whose walls are imprinted with grease, oil, and food particles. "If you don't clean them, your paint will not stay," says Ridge's Painting Expert "Paint doesn't stick on oil base ." Even in bathroom, the spills of shampoo, body


spray, and cosmetics would create same problem. you need to use a proper degreaser on tough areas, normal household cleanser won't do.
