Reasons why the foreman discourages painting walls and persistently inclines to sticking wallpaper

Everyone at least once in their life will have to face such a phenomenon as repair. After all, a house or apartment needs constant maintenance and renovation. Everyone who has done repairs knows how difficult, protracted and expensive this process can be. And those who do not yet have experience will have to face a bunch of mistakes that you should know in advance. Well, if they're easy to fix. But like, for example, paint the walls in the apartmentSo you don't have to do double work?



Painting surfaces is not an easy job, as it may seem at first. In this process, there are many small details: starting with the selection of the roller and ending with the time for painting. In this article, the editorial board
"Site" It will tell you about common paint mistakes that beginners often make.



Various roughness, dust, villi or insects can dry on the surface of the wall along with the paint. In order not to do double work, you must first prepare the walls. With the help of sandpaper or any tool for sanding, you need to walk through all irregularities and defects. It is also worth brushing the dust with a broom and wipe the walls from possible stains.



Ignoring the primer provides a good “clutch” of paint with the surface. Therefore, it is necessary to ground – even if you are going to apply several layers of paint. Apply the primer in small stripes: both vertically and horizontally - perpendicular to the first layer. By the way, it is best to choose an acrylic-based primer - the most versatile option for various coatings.



Color selection can be the most difficult obstacle in the painting process. On the palette, the chosen color looks different than on the wall. The same goes for paint in a bucket: it always seems to be a tone lighter than it should be. In addition, in order for the paint to acquire the necessary color or shade, it is necessary that it dries. In addition, much depends on the lighting of the room, it is difficult to guess how the desired color will look.



If you tone the paint yourself, slowly add coloring concentrate, little by little. First, try mixing the paint in a small container and see what happens. If the result is satisfactory, the same can be done in a large bank. Also, so that the color is suitable for the room, you can try to do a test painting in an inconspicuous place. This way, you can check how the color looks on the surface of the wall – a lot depends on it. If everything is fine, you can immediately start painting.

Applying paint “in different directions” Another common problem is to apply paint in chaotic movements. In this case, all strokes may appear after a while, especially if you are wielding a brush. It is worth choosing one option for the direction of the roller or brush. Either vertical or horizontal movements will fit, then the paint will lie evenly and completely fill the wall. By the way, you can also alternate methods - the first layer horizontally, and the second vertically.



Also, beginners often paint in one layer, which is actually not enough for high-quality painting. To completely cover the wall, you need at least 2-3 layers. In addition, you should be patient and do not paint with fresh paint - you need to give the paint time to dry, and then proceed to another painting.



In addition, it is necessary to make sure that there is enough paint. Better, if it stays - can still be useful in the household. Old paint can be toned again and painted something else. So it's better to buy with stock. In addition, be sure to take all the necessary tools for painting - roller, brush (big and small), as well as a special saucer for paint and old clothes.
