To make sure that the painting results are perfect, you should first answer a few questions. Because a good preparation is already half the success.
Which surface would I like to paint?
Wallpaper, wood, stone, etc.
Do I need a primer?
A wall primer reduces, for example, the absorbency of the surface.
What requirements must the paint meet?
For example, water or abrasion resistance.
How well must the paint cover?
Cheap paints often result in a stained effect.
Is anybody in your family allergic to certain components?
If you have small children, you should pay attention and use paints without plasticizers and solvents.
To give your personal wall decoration a pefect frame, sharp edges without color bleeding – thats´s what you call nasty jagges paint edges that occur when the tape is not appled tight enough on the wall – are a must.

1. To offer the paint and the tape a perfect hold, the surface must be clean, dry, dust-free and as smooth as possible. Divide the area to be taped off with masking tape. Press down the tape with your fingers carefully and evenly.

2. If the masking tape is applied properly, no bubbles or other uneven spots will show. Let´s start painting!

3. Work piece by piece: First, paint the borders with a brush, so the color covers also some of the masking tape.

4. Then apply the paint evenly on the wall surface with the roller.

5. Before the paint has completely dried, remove the masking tape by tearing it at a 45° angle, thus protecting the wall.
