Painting is a task where results are immediately visible across all decorative projects. Beyond adding colour to a space, it provides a protective layer for walls. It is a popular DIY project for many homeowners. Generally, there are three methods for applying paint: hand brushing, spraying, and rolling. The sequence for painting is top to bottom: ceiling, walls, door and window frames, and skirting boards.
★ Hand-Brushing Method
This technique is suitable for ceilings, walls, and wrought-iron window grilles. Before painting, dip the brush bristles halfway into the paint. If concerned about excessive paint absorption, lightly tap the brush against the edge of the paint pot to prevent dripping and sagging during application.
When painting, hold the brush handle between thumb and forefinger, applying pressure with fingertips to slightly bend the bristles for improved coverage. Brush from unpainted sections towards the brushed edge. Avoid repeated strokes over already painted but not yet dry areas to ensure a smooth finish.
Advantages include easy control of paint application, reduced material consumption, and minimal contamination of adjacent surfaces. Disadvantages include noticeable brush marks.
★Spraying Method
Suitable for large areas, indoor furniture, or spaces with minimal clutter. Alternatively, thoroughly cover indoor objects to prevent contamination from overspray.
During application, maintain the spray gun vertically and parallel to the wall surface, while keeping a consistent swing speed to avoid unevenly thin patches of paint.
Advantages include a smooth, textured finish and significant time and labour savings.
★Roller Painting Method
This technique is suitable for painting walls and ceilings. Whilst rollers are more time-efficient than brushes, they may produce varying brush marks and unevenness depending on the roller's surface texture or coarseness.
Select an appropriate roller size and avoid oil-based paints to prevent difficulties during application. Before painting, roll the roller into the paint tray and give it a slight twist to coat it with paint. Then roll it on a slope to distribute the paint evenly.
When painting, apply in a dotted line pattern, rolling up and down in an M, W, or inverted N shape to fill in gaps evenly. The advantage is a handcrafted feel, making it ideal for DIY projects. The disadvantage is noticeable brush marks, a thicker paint film, and higher material consumption.
