If you want to paint a room like a pro to give it a new look follow these tips:
1- Remove all the furniture and the greatest one must be covered carefully with plastic to avoid staining of paint. You must also remove the wall hangings such as shelves and even the tops of the current switches and valves and for safety cut the power when performing this task. Finally remove all doors, windows and hinges if removable.
2- Then proceed to prepare the surface to be painted: Check the condition of the walls and ceiling, if the surface is firm and clean you can paint directly.
Otherwise, if it is cracked, you shall remove the material and sanding to smooth the edges. Finally remove the dust from the walls with a brush. If the wall is very porous it is necessary to apply a coat of sealer or binder mixed with a bit of paint to use to serve as a primer or base.

3- Then you will cover everything that you do not want to paint, you will define exactly what should be painting, and use the paper tape specifically for painters.
This tape has the peculiarity of having an adhesive that does not remove the paint and is not sticky. Be covered such as window frames, doors and cabinet if mounted, and so on.
In case you want to paint the walls with two colors you should expect the first color dry and then delineate the tape and paint the second color. The masking tape should ideally remove when wet with painting of the last hand.

5- When you get the paint ready, begin to paint: First begin with the ceiling with all hands are needed, if the paint is quality one or two hands will suffice.
The angles and areas closer to the walls are painted with a brush first. To paint the ceiling it is best to use a roller with extendable handle for applying a standstill and not having to climb stairs. The roller is impregnated with paint and it rolls over the surface to spread a thin coat of paint.

6- Then proceed with the walls painted from top to bottom taking wide vertical stripes of two rollers connecting strips with steep passes before re-wet the roller to get a perfect finish.
It is recommend to use painter trays where you can load and drain the roller to better control the amount of paint you apply.
