5. 1. Skipping Over the Preparation
While professional painters spend considerable time on their
preparation, home owners embark on their DIY paint adventure
without preparing things beforehand out of excitement to see
how colours would look on their walls. However, to land an ideal
pain job, one needs to get the walls cleaned and washed and
complete all repair work prior to applying paint.

6. 2. Picking Inferior Applicators
Home owners after spending a lot of money on paints might feel
like skimping over their brushes and rollers in order to cut down
on their total costs, which inevitably leads to unpleasant paint
outcomes. Without good applicators and tools, even the best
quality and most expensive paint won’t work. Buying quality
applicators is an investment in the long run as they not just
provide better coverage, but last for years when proper care is
taken, eliminating those additional costs.

7. 3. Going Without Primer
Painting walls without applying primer is one of the biggest
mistakes home owners make while on their paint project. Primer
is much more than just a substance that is applied on your walls
prior to painting. It’s a coat that prepares the wall surface by
covering all the flaws while giving a smooth surface for the paint
to stick easily to the wall. What’s more, applying primer ensures
a fresh, long-lasting look and helps bring out the true colour of
the paint.

8. 4. Skipping the Painter’s Tape
For professional and polished results, it is important to pay
attention to each and every detail. With that said, using tapes
around windows, doors and walls help you achieve clean edges
and a smooth and polished finish. In addition, remove the tape
before the paint dries completely.

9. 5. Avoiding Clean-up
You are so tired after your paint job is done that you put those
brushes and rollers in your store room to deal with them later or
maybe not deal with at all, which is completely a bad idea. No
matter how exhausted you’re, it would only take a few minutes
to wash and store your applicators appropriately so that they
hold their shape and can be used again.
