Painting tips and instructions. Painting Tips: !! Caution: Before you paint, you should repair all nail holes, cracks and damages to the walls and ceiling using a quality spackling compound. Sand and/or clean all surfaces with a TSP cleaner. The ceiling should be painted first then move your way down on to the walls. 1. Start by cutting in all corners, around moldings, light switches and electrical outlets using a Styletto® paint brush. The arrow shaped brush makes cutting-in easy and fast to get straight sharp lines without using masking tape. 2. Always rinse the roller before use to remove loose fabric, residues from manufacturing. For latex paint: rinse under water. For oil paint: rinse with a mineral spirits, spin to dry out. A damp or moistened roller absorbs paint more readily than a dry one. 4. Fill paint tray half full, roll the roller into the paint, then roll back on the flat part of the tray until the roller cover is uniformly filled, do not overloaded. 5. Roll on wall surface by making a large (W) shape to distribute paint evenly on the roller cover. Roll out uniformly to fill in the areas between the legs of the “W”. 6. Then for the finishing touch roll in one direction, usually from the top of the wall to the bottom with very little pressure in one continuous motion to assure a smooth finish. 7. Take special care of not letting the area you have just finished painting, dry before starting the next one over, this will prevent roller lines between areas. 41 St‐Charles, Beloeil, Qc, Canada 1‐800‐363‐9396 www.styletto.com
