How to Paint Interior Walls with Dulux

The walls of your home colour your world. They are what set the mood for everyday life. So, the way you apply your paint can be just as important as the colour itself.

Instructions

Clear the area of any furniture to give yourself ample working space.

Lay down a drop sheet and clean your walls with sugar soap. You may be tempted to skip this step, however a clean surface is your best insurance against a ruined paint job.

Tip: Now you're ready to paint! Choose an interior paint that suits your needs. Dulux Wash&Wear® Low Sheen is Australia's favourite washable paint because of its leading performance that keeps walls looking freshly painted for longer.

Mask your trim for cutting-in. Cutting-in is a technique whereby you paint with a brush or application pad, the areas that can't be reached with a roller.

Load your brush by dipping it into the paint roughly half the length of the bristles. Tap the brush on the side of the paint pot to remove the excess. Start brushing a few centimeters from the corner or edge. As you move the brush, you will establish the line of the edge of the paint. Drag the brush in to the edge so that the line on the paint follows the edging.
