How to paint a wall yourself in India?

I tried painting my bedroom wall last month and it looks like it is easy. If you are wondering how to paint a wall by yourself, you don’t need to worry. You just need to make sure to follow the correct measurements and steps. Let me explain more about it to you.

How to Paint Wall By Yourself?

• Tape the trim: Sharp, clear lines can be painted by the painter by covering the trim with specialised masking tape.

• Determine the type of paint for your walls: It's important to know what sort of paint is suitable for your walls because using the incorrect primer or paint could result in early paint degradation.

• Select the appropriate primer: When painting a fresh drywall, use a drywall primer-sealer compound to even out the surface grain and prevent flashing. The paint that is flaking can be prevented from peeling by applying a stain-blocking primer over water stains, ink, or crayons.

• Application of primer: This is a key step if you want to learn how to paint your walls yourself. To prevent drips, place a tiny amount of primer into a bucket or paint tray fitted with a roller grid, dip the roller into the primer, and then wipe off any excess.

• Trim the corners: Paint the corners of the wall by using a brush with a diameter of 2 to 3 inches, brushing both along the corner and a few inches outward.

• Paint the ceiling along the trim: Paint the ceiling line and the taped trim by dipping a 2 to 3-inch paintbrush into the paint and rubbing it against the brush. Work it outward, keeping a distance of approximately three inches from the tape or ceiling line.

• Apply the paint: Using a 12-inch roller, roll the paint in a “W” pattern, cutting corners and edges as you go.

• Tape removal: After the paint has taken at least thirty minutes to cure, remove the tape.

• Complete the trim: For painting the trim proceed from top to bottom along the trim covering, beginning as near the wall as you can.

Allow some time to pass without repeatedly rolling over the spot. Keep windows and doors open to let fresh air in and hasten the drying of paint. This is how to paint a wall by yourself.
