Painting Accent Walls. Tips from a Pro!
What happens here
Apply the first coat of paint to the accent wall. Load the paint roller generously, starting in the middle of the wall to unload excess paint, then using top-to-bottom strokes. The first coat should be applied thinly to dry quickly. Avoid over-saturating the roller to prevent drips and uneven coverage. For cutting in the edges, hand-cut carefully along the masked lines.
Goal: Apply a thin, even first coat of paint
