GATHER YOUR MATERIALS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Start by gathering your materials. You\u2019ll need the Wagner PaintStick EZ Roller, enough paint for two coats, painters tape to protect the trim and edges of the ceiling, drop cloths to protect the floor and any furniture in the room, and a paint brush for \u201ccutting in\u201d around trim and in corners. It\u2019s also a good idea to have some cotton rags on hand for cleaning up any messes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Prep Your Space and Walls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The key to any good paint job is prep. Make sure you spackle any holes in your walls and prime or scuff-sand if painting over glossy paint so that the new paint will stick better.

We also recommend vacuuming any dust and cobwebs with a shop vacuum and washing any grease or other residue off the walls with a suitable detergent mixed with water.

If you\u2019re only painting the walls (not the ceiling) you should also apply masking tape around the perimeter of the ceiling and the trim.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Cut in Around the Room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Start by \u201ccutting in\u201d around the perimeter of the room near the ceiling and around all of the trim. A three-inch wide angled brush works really great for this because it keeps your wrist in a more comfortable position than a straight brush.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Paint the Room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019re done cutting in, it\u2019s time to roll paint onto the walls. The PaintStick EZ Roller is a snap to use because it pulls paint directly from the can and stores it in the handle, eliminating the need for messy roller trays.

Draw paint into the EZ Roller and then squeeze the trigger until paint starts to saturate the roller cover. Then roll paint onto the walls, making sure you roll into the areas where you cut in with a brush. Refer to your paint can\u2019s instructions for drying times and apply a second coat as needed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
