Freshly painted family room!

Our family room, newly painted, at night. Here's some painting tips for houses you live in that I learned during this project:

  • Don't use a power sprayer in doors unless every square inch is covered that you don't want painted AND you can completely seal the room.
  • When using a sprayer wear a mask and safety glasses.
  • If your taping your edges press the tape firmly close to the line of paint you will be painting. (Don't let paint sneak underneath.)
  • If there is a space between the item your painting and what your trying to protect with paint... (Like that little gap between the trim and the wall) Don't sneak your tape in there... hehe.
  • You may need to score your tape in some spots to remove it.
