• Step 1: Choosing the appropriate paint

MillPro offers paints that go from low-VOC and zero-voc emission eco-friendly, which provide a much healthier living space, to durable interior paints that will work in normal to high-traffic areas.

• Step 2: Collect Your Supplies

• Step 3: Prepare the Walls

Proper preparation ensures a smooth, lasting finish. It needs to be cleaned with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Next, visible cracks or holes are supposed to be filled with a ready-to-use premixed paintable filler and sanded to a smooth finish. In the case of new or previously painted surfaces, an application of a suitable primer is to be given. This, in turn, helps the paint adhere to the wall better and is also a good base for even color application, in case one is transitioning from dark to light. After a proper primer coat, check the entire wall filling need with a wall putty coat to be applied with a scraper putty knife to cover all open small pores or the pin holes on the paintable surface. Smoothen the filling putty applied surface with the suitable sand paper sanding job.

• Step 4: Protect Your Space

Before you begin painting, protect your floors and furniture with drop cloths. Mask off trims, edges, and areas you won’t be painting with painter’s tape. A little time masking these areas will save hours of touch-ups afterward.

• Step 5: Start cutting in

Paint a “cut-in” with a brush onto walls around window frames and along baseboards. This creates clean lines and it is much easier to use a roller for the rest of the wall.

• Step 6: Roll On the Paint

Fill your roller with paint and go ahead to coat the major sections of the wall. You should work in an “M” or “W” pattern for even coverage. Allow it to dry off completely before you check whether it requires a second coat. MillPro paints usually enjoy excellent coverage; therefore, two coats should be enough to give you a smooth professional finish.

• Step 7: Touch-Up and Clean-Up

Once your paint has dried, remove the painter’s tape carefully and check for any areas that may need touch-ups. Wash your brushes, rollers, and trays immediately for later use. MillPro’s paints work easily and will clean up easiest to minimize hassle after your project is done.
