DIFFICULTY RATING: (1 out of 5 - Beginner)

Preparing a room for painting will save on cleanup time and will make the finished job look professional.
Step 8: Paint the room.
With the primer dry, it is now time to paint the room. Use a roller to apply the paint smoothly. Make a "W" with the roller and then evenly spread the paint across the wall. Use a quality brush to "cut in" at the edges by sweeping the brush right up to the edge. Depending on the color used and the wall, you may need to apply a second coat. Once dry, the newly painted room will have the look and feel of a professional job.
Use a roller to apply paint to the walls.
