Painting Walls LIke a Professional Painter: Start to Finish

What happens here

After the first coat and initial cut-ins have dried, apply a second, heavier coat of paint to the walls. Use the same rolling technique: load the roller fully, apply in a top-to-bottom motion, and overlap sections. Ensure a uniform finish. Once the second coat has dried, inspect for any remaining imperfections or areas needing touch-ups, especially in the cut-in areas. Address any horizontal lines in the cut-ins by lightly re-cutting vertically.

Goal: Achieve full, even coverage and correct any remaining imperfections.
