Once the base paint is dry, use a tape measure and a pencil to meticulously plan and mark the layout of your battens on the wall. Determine the desired spacing for your vertical battens first, making light pencil marks at the top and bottom of each intended batten placement. It's crucial to use a long level to draw perfectly vertical lines connecting these marks, ensuring that each batten will be plumb. Repeat this process for the horizontal battens, marking their positions and using a level to draw straight horizontal lines across the wall. Careful planning and accurate marking are key to a professional-looking finish.
