Plume Out Paint Where You Can Not Keep a Damp Side

You can't cover big locations like ceilings, extra-tall walls or stairwells in single, continual strokes, so the very best method to reduce lap marks on these locations is to feather out the paint along the edges that you can't maintain damp. The thinner, feathered coat of paint will stay clear of the build-up that causes the lap mark.

To repaint a large area without leaving lap marks, roll the almost dry roller in various instructions along the dry side, feathering out the paint as you go. After completing the entire size of the wall surface or ceiling, move to the next section and paint over the feathery edges.

For the 2nd layer, use the paint in the opposite instructions. This crisscrossing paint application dramatically minimizes (if not removes) lap marks.

Sand Trim In Between Coats for an Ultra-Smooth Finish

One layer of paint usually won't conceal the underlying color and shine on trim. And if you don't sand the surface area smooth between coats, the coating may have a grainy appearance. For a smooth finish, sand the trim before using each layer of paint.

Sand the trim with a fine-grit sanding sponge. Sponges enter into holes where sandpaper can't go and also allow you use even stress.

Then apply the first coat of paint, allow it dry at least 24-hour, lightly sand it once again for an entirely smooth surface area, and also apply the 2nd coat. After each fining sand, vacuum the trim, then clean it down with a tack cloth to get rid of the dust.
