Stages of painting walls in color
You will need:
- brush;
- putty;
- coloring compositions;
- mixing tank;
- roller with a fur coat.
Before painting, the walls need to be puttied.Stage one - preparing the wall surface for painting. After drying, paint exposes all the flaws and defects of the surface, so in order to get a beautiful and even surface, you should work with it a little. The wall needs to be putty. The putty solution is applied to the wall in two or more layers, depending on the degree of unevenness of the wall. The very first layer should be the thickest, since it serves to level out the main differences in the surface. The second layer most often acts as a finish, performing it, the master achieves the greatest smoothness possible for a given surface. Wall preparation also includes such stages as grinding using sandpaper and priming with a building mixture. Return to the table of contents</a>
How to prepare the coloring composition for work?
The colorant is added to the paint and carefullymixed with a mixer. Preparing the paint for work is an important process that should be carried out as carefully as possible. You will need a container in which you will dilute the colorant. An enamel or plastic bucket of suitable volume will do just fine. First, mix the paint itself by hand (you can also use a construction mixer), and add a little water to the paint itself so that the final consistency is like milk. Now prepare the colorant solution. To do this, take some water-based paint, add the colorant to it and mix thoroughly until smooth. Add this solution to the total volume of paint. The proportions should be indicated on the paint packaging, in accordance with which the mixture should be made. Colorants are produced industrially in the form of powder or liquid. The quality indicators of these materials are the same, so you can use either type. Keep in mind that when mixing the colorant and paint, foam is formed on the surface of the solution, so before , the coloring composition will need to settle. Return to Contents</a>
How to properly paint walls with your own hands?
Painting walls is most often done with a roller.To paint the walls with color, prepare a paint roller with a fur coat. The optimal pile size for it is 15-18 mm. Also stock up on a brush and a tray, with which you will roll the roller. Small particles of color will settle to the bottom of the bucket, so you will need to stir it from time to time. When you are going to put paint on the roller, be sure to stir the contents of the bucket beforehand. This way, the entire paint composition will be more uniform and when applied to the walls, there will be no particular differences in visual terms. Not everyone understands why it is necessary to roll the roller from time to time. The reasons are as follows: the roller absorbs paint too quickly, and this amount is too much for painting the surface. The paint should be evenly distributed throughout the volume, and with a roller that is too saturated with it, this is not particularly convenient. Therefore, excess paint should be squeezed out in time. In order for painting a wall surface with a colorant to have a good result, you should follow a few simple rules. In the room, it is necessary to exclude drafts as much as possible, as well as the influence of direct sunlight. When working, use personal protective equipment, gloves, a mask. Try to carry out a preliminary test painting of a small section of the wall in an inconspicuous place, for example, where furniture will be moved in the future. Then, in case of an unsuccessful test and an unsightly stain on the wall, it will be hidden from view. If you do not have much experience in painting walls, it is better to start with the one that is not in plain sight. While you are painting it, you will have time to get used to it, and in the future the work will turn out better and better.
Paint color schemes.You can start painting from any corner of the room. First, you need to work with a brush, painting the corner and sections of the wall 5-6 cm on both sides of it. When painting the corner between the ceiling and the wall, you need to paint only the wall surface. Then it's the turn of the paint roller. Apply paint to the wall in parallel stripes, try to do this in a vertical direction. The stripes should be as wide as possible - it's easier to work this way. The paint with color is applied overlapping so that the vertical stripes slightly overlap each other. When painting walls with wallpaper pasted on for painting, you need to make sure that the joints of the wallpaper and painted stripes do not coincide. The paint packaging indicates the period in which it dries completely. Usually this period is no more than five hours, and if the walls are painted in two layers, it is easy to calculate that finishing the room in this way will not take more than one working day.
