After the paint dries completely, the stripes are marked on them, a level or plumb is used for this. If the last strip is less than the width, then it is drawn in the most inconspicuous corner of the room. Then the masking tape closes all the places outside the strips that do not require painting. When choosing its width, it is taken into account which roller the color paint will be applied, since it should cover only the strip itself and not more. To prevent the appearance of creases and unevenness on the tape, it is thoroughly ironed by hand from the top to the bottom. To the wall itself, it should not be strongly adhered. The main thing is that no leakage of paint through the paint tape, so its edges should fit snugly to the surface. Once everything is ready for strips, you can start working. To get a brighter color, paint the walls with a roller in two layers. You can paint with either a brush or a roller, the width of which closes the width of the strip when working. Paint tape should be removed after 5 minutes after painting one strip. In no case should you wait for the paint to dry completely, as it will stick to the tape and will move with it. </ ul>
