DIY project strategy
No.1 wall painting
[Method of operation]
Clean, level the wall, then paint
It’s not easy to say that it’s hard to say, but it’s not easy, but in any case, it’s quite a big project. Yu Shaoxin, the paint design supervisor of Jiabaoli, said that if it’s a whole house, it usually takes about two days, and It is best to follow standard steps.
Step1: Prepare for work. Select the room to be painted, calculate the area, select the color, and choose a quality latex paint and a suitable brushing tool. At the time of purchase, the brand, grade and model of the wall paint can be selected according to the needs of the living room. At present, there are many brands of latex paints on the market, and there are products of different grades. Generally speaking, the number of scrubs is an important indicator for measuring the grade of wall paint. The higher the number of scrubs, the better the performance of the film. The good quality tool can brush a thicker coating to better cover the original color of the bottom layer, making the film more durable and able to withstand repeated scrubbing.
Step2: Clean the wall. With paint and suitable tools, the wall should be cleaned before hand-painting the wall. If it is a new house and the walls are clean and flat, you can save this process. If it is an old house, because the walls of the old house usually have a lot of dust and dust, it is best to sand and level with sandpaper, and use the ordinary detergent or water to remove the dust and dirt from the wall, dry it, and prevent the wall paint. After brushing, it cracks and foams due to the quality of the wall.
Step3: Dilute the wall paint. Dilute the paint with water according to the ratio stated on the wall paint package. If necessary, color the mixture and mix it evenly. In addition, you need to stir well before each brushing.
Step4: Paint the wall. It is very simple to paint the inner wall. First brush the outer edge of the wall with a “frame†and then roll it in the “frame†with a roller. An effective roll coating method is to roll a large W or M shape on the wall with a roller coating, then fill it and roll it in different directions. Generally, the primer is applied first. After the primer is brushed, the wall finish is painted after 6 hours, and the wall paint is brushed twice. The interval between the two passes is more than 2 hours. Under normal circumstances, it takes about 7 days for the wall to dry completely.
Step5: Make up the corners. When the wall is painted with a roller, a small blank is often left between the top surface of the wall and the ground. At this time, a small brush, that is, a pen is needed to make up the brush.
[Precautions]
Four questions must be noted
Brushing latex paint is not difficult, but for the first time do-it-yourselfers or decorators, Jia Shaoli paint design supervisor Yu Shaoxin believes that the following issues must be noted:
â—Select color: Many manufacturers have launched special D IY latex paint products. Many of them are white topcoats with color paste. After consumers buy them, they can color them according to their preferences and needs. It is important to note that when coloring the wall, even the same color of the same paint will show a very different color under different lighting conditions. Therefore, it is best to first brush a small area on the wall to be painted before the wall is officially painted, and observe the color of the paint under natural light and night light. Also keep in mind that when painting a large area with a paint of one color, the color tends to increase. To make up for this, it is best to use a coating that is slightly lighter than the desired color.
If it is the first time to brush the wall yourself, it is recommended to use matt paint.
In addition, the paint has a variety of gloss, both high-gloss and matte. Coatings with higher gloss are more reflective, so this coating will make the room look brighter. On the other hand, high-gloss paints tend to highlight the shortcomings of the wall, so if it is the first DIY wall, or the wall itself is not very flat, it is recommended to use matt paint.
â— Wall repair: If there is a nail on the wall, fill it with filler. Fine cracks can be filled with a good quality 100% acrylic sealant. If there are large cracks, it is necessary to shovel them out, use putty powder to add water to make a thick paste, fill the seams, wait for all to dry out, sand with high-grade sandpaper, and then paint.
â—Protection work: If the wall is refurbished, remember to protect the floor before painting, and cover the floor and furniture with a protective film or old newspaper. The frame, the two walls and the joint between the wall and the floor are best covered with textured paper and protected. Personal protection Remember to wear a hat and glasses to prevent the latex paint from staining your hair or splashing into your eyes.
â— Aftercare: cleaning tools, cleaning. Unused paint can be sealed and stored for later use.
