For custom painting Buckhead best practices, the first step is to select the right paint. This may be interior or exterior paint, along with primers and sealers. It may also include latex and oil based paints, as well as generic or high-end brand paints. It simply depends on your personal preference and choice. Once your paint is selected for the room or home, you will need to get paint openers to open up the cans. You will also need a floor canvas, to prevent spills from damaging your floors.

Once these items are secured, you are ready to apply the paint as desired. Whether you use a spray, brush, or roller, it is important to maintain an equal and consistent stroke. This way, you don’t have to worry about creases and protruding edges. For best results, try sectioning the walls with tape, so you can concentrate on one area at a time. Next, apply a second coat if desired and simply repeat the above steps.

For new rooms, a latex primer or sealer must first be applied to the wallboard. This helps preserve the paint when applied, and keeps it looking shiny or glossy. For repainting or custom jobs, the paint should dry overnight before applying any primer or oil-based finish. Once the walls are dry and the finish is applied, you can paint the baseboards or trim. Like the walls, they too will require a baseboard or wood-based primer. For best results, use on consistent stroke to apply the paint. In addition, trim off the boards with tape to ensure a neat and solid application. After completion, let the entire room dry and your custom painting Buckhead job is complete.
