Rolling paint

Keep Rolling

Believe it or not, there's a technique to rolling paint onto your walls. I always cut my ceiling and corners first with a trim brush, then I start on one side of the wall and work my way across, taking long, broad rolls up and down with a roller, overlapping a few inches each time. Be sure to have plenty of paint on the roller after each roll.
