Look for High-Quality Paint
Although it might seem a contradiction, buying cheap paint will not make your project more affordable. Of course, there is no need to invest in the most expensive paint brand available. Instead, make sure you get top-quality paint that allows for exceptional color saturation and a smooth finish with fewer coats of paint than the cheaper options. Be sure to find the ideal type of paint for the specific area you are painting and enjoy the great results!
Prepare Your Working Area
Dirty, crusty, and uneven walls will require a lot of paint to have at least a decent finish and color saturation. To avoid spending a lot of time and money on your painting project, be sure to prepare the wall before the paint application. Take a moment to remove old wallpaper, clean the wall with a wet cloth, and repair any unevenness on its surface.
Gradually Pour Paint in a Separate Container
When doing painting work, many people find it easier to take paint directly from its original can or bucket. However, this method is, by all means, not ideal. On the one hand, this does not allow you to cover your brush or roller with paint evenly, resulting in a higher concentration of paint on the first stroke, which you will need to distribute on the wall by hand. The results will not be flattering, and you will be wasting a lot of paint. It is better recommended to pour a small amount of paint into a flat container and refill it as you need more paint. This method will also prevent the paint from drying out because the can will be open all the time during your project.
