What happens here

Begin applying the first coat of the main wall color. For efficiency, use an 18-inch roller with a 3/8-inch semi-smooth woven-pro cover from Premier, attached to an extension pole. This allows for faster coverage compared to smaller rollers. Roll the paint from top to bottom, making sure to spread it evenly without aiming for full opacity in this first coat, as it's a skim coat to prepare the surface. You'll apply a second coat for full coverage. While an 18-inch roller is efficient for large areas, remember that it cannot reach tight corners, so those areas will need to be cut in with a brush or smaller roller later.

Goal: Apply a light 'skim coat' of the main wall color using an 18-inch roller with an extension pole, working quickly to cover the surface.
