Here Bev DeJulio shares a few hints to speed up the painting process. - Use a sash brush to paint the walls near the corners, ceiling and base molding (figure A). This process, known as "cutting in," will make the job easier because these areas are hard to reach with paint rollers.
- Fill in the paneling grooves with a sponge or a long-napped roller (figure B). A long-napped roller will reach into the paneling grooves, but it also applies extra paint to the surface of the wall. Before you load more paint onto the roller, be sure to roll it over the freshly painted surface to remove any excess paint or primer.
- Apply one or two coats of high-quality interior paint.
