5 mistakes due to which the paint will never lie on the walls exactly

If you decide to paint the walls yourself, then you need to pay attention to some nuances that affect the quality of work. To avoid mistakes and not to redo one work, choose the right paint, tools for the job, and also perform other, minor, but important actions.

The most common mistakes made when painting surfaces:

1. Untrained walls. On the surface, some elements from the previous painting, small roughness and roughness in the wall itself may remain. They will be well visible through a new coat of paint, especially if glossy paint was used. To avoid such a result, it is necessary to clean the wall well before painting. To do this, it is recommended to use a special tool that is designed for grinding surfaces or ordinary sandpaper. With their help, you can remove all the bumps, and then remove the dust with a brush.
2. Lack of primer. Without this tool, work is doomed to a negative result. The primer covers the surface with a kind of layer that improves the interaction of paint and surface. Walls absorb less moisture, so you can save on colorful material. To eliminate undesirable consequences, it is necessary to treat the wall with a primer, applying it in two layers: first vertically and then perpendicularly.

3. The paint composition is too thick. Such a consistency will never lie flat. Choose the right solvent. Aqueous emulsion formulations cannot be diluted with white spirit, but only with water, appropriate special solvents are suitable for oil paints. On the bank, manufacturers always indicate the composition that will help determine the choice of solvent.
4. Inappropriate tool. Choosing a tool is just as important as choosing a paint. To obtain an evenly painted surface, it is required to use two rollers and a brush, preferably with natural bristles that do not fall out and do not remain on the surface.
5. Wrong, chaotic, layering. Paint can not be applied in several directions: first horizontally, then vertically, or even in circular motions. When drying, all these lines will appear: you will either have to come to terms, or redo the work. It is necessary to choose one method of painting, then the paint will lie in an even layer. If painting in two layers is necessary, it is recommended to alternate the methods of applying paint.

It is better to learn from the mistakes of others, so try not to repeat them and do the job with high quality.
