How To Paint A Stripe. Painting Stripes On Walls.

What happens here

To ensure a perfectly straight line for taping, use a chalk line. Extend the chalk line string across the wall, aligning it precisely with the small marks you made for the top edge of the stripe. Once taut and correctly positioned from one corner of the room to the other, snap the line against the wall to create a visible chalk mark.

Goal: Create a straight guide line for the upper tape strip.

What they say

Hide

then we actually use what's called a chalk line. And the line pulls out and is a string. And we'll hold it from one corner of the room to the other corner of the room. And you'll want to make sure that line is in line with all the little little hash marks that you made at that same height going all the way around. And then you're going to take and pull and snap your line. And it's going to create a little red chalk line
