Tips to Painting Textured Walls
• Clean well first! Be sure to hoover and wipe down walls well as textured walls can trap dust and dirt.
• Prepare the area by laying down covering over the floor, remove switch and plug covers and tape off the ceiling and base boards.
• Use the right equipment. A handled paint pail/cup that works with a roller brush, helps make things easier, an edging tool, an extra thick roller and a brush with an angled edge for difficult areas.
• Always apply a second coat.
• Remove tape once paint is dry.
Painting textured walls can be tricky but with these tips it will help it go a bit more smoothly.
