Painting advice:

Step one, choose the color that is already on the wall (or very close). I know Brandy wants that light orange color, but it will take twice as long, and cost twice as much.

Step two, spot prime the scuffs and any repairs before you paint. This will prevent bleed through.

Step three, use quality. A nice brush, roller cover, and good paint will save time, hassle, and money.

Step four, make sure they shake the paint up good at the store. Stirring never works good enough.

Step five, don't paint out of the can. Use a plastic bucket (maybe a dollar at the store). Put about two inches of paint into the bucket. Dip your brush in about an inch. Lightly tap each side of the bristles against the side of the bucket. This leaves lots of paint on the brush, but the brush won't drip.

Step six, when rolling, get the paint on a section (three or four feet wide). Then "lay it off." That is done by lightly rolling over the section to evenly distribute the paint and take out "ropes" (from the edge of the roller).

Edit: Use a broom stick pole for an extention when you roll. It will save your back!

Paint 101 to follow.

Paint 101:

Flat: Has no sheen to it. Not easy to clean, but can be touched up with paint without showing. Hides flaws in the wall best.

Low Lustre/Eggshell: Has a slight sheen. Cleans OK, but not great. Can be touched up, but might show. Hides most wall flaws.

Semi Gloss: Shines pretty good. Cleans very nicely. Don't try to touch it up unless you have to. It will show, mainly if near the entrance or under a light. Will show many flaws if the walls aren't perfect.

Gloss: Don't even try using high gloss. It will show everything.

Summary: If the walls are bad, use flat or eggshell. If the walls are pretty good, use eggshell or semigloss. Whatever you use, it will stick better and look better if you lightly sand the walls with 120grit sandpaper first (using a sandpole if you got one).
