I want to paint the interior walls of my home. Please ask the painter to give me some guidance on the steps.

1. Wall repair:

For rough walls or houses with a putty layer, the base layer must be smooth and solid. There must be no powdering, sanding, hollowing, falling off, etc. Uneven base surfaces and potholes should be smoothed with putty. The yin and yang angle must be found through the elastic ink line to find the vertical aluminum pass to measure the horizontal and vertical integrity. The last coat of putty should be applied after the previous coat of putty is completely dry.

2. Putty:

Generally speaking, for interior wall latex paint, after the wall is built and the plastering is completed, the general contractor will perform two plasterings , in the second step, the base surface is leveled with a modification effect. Therefore, putty is generally used. The function of putty is to make the wall surface smoother. Buy putty powder in finished bags, just add water and stir.

3. Wall polishing:

After puttying, there are always some uneven surfaces, or the base surface is not very smooth. At this time, sandpaper needs to be used for manual polishing and repair. You can also use a sun lamp to illuminate the middle to facilitate checking the flatness. Then polish with sandpaper and continue to improve.

The application process of latex paint:

There are four methods of paint construction: row brush, stick brush, spray gun and batch.

1. Row brushing saves the most materials, but it is more time-consuming. Of course, slow and careful work is still good, and the wall will be flat in the end. Since latex paint dries quickly, each painting surface should be completed at one time, otherwise it is easy to produce seams. When brushing manually, you must start from one point and start in order. Do not apply oil in the east and in the west. This will easily miss the brush or the result will be uneven and ugly. When brushing by hand, it is better not to get too much paint on it, just enough so that it does not fall off, otherwise it is easy to cause "tears" on the wall.

2. The effect of rolling with a stick brush is relatively ordinary in all aspects. It wastes a lot of latex paint and is not the best, but relatively speaking, it is cost-effective. Construction methods. When roller coating, in order to avoid roller marks, the overlap width is 1/4 of the length of the rough roller. Generally, the roller coating is applied twice. The interval should be more than 2 hours in summer, and it may take more time in winter.

3. The effect of the spray gun will be better, and the wall will appear granular, which is more natural, fast, and saves time, but it is not easy to repair. When spraying, hold the spray gun steadily. The best distance between the nozzle and the wall is 30-50 cm, not too close or too far. The spray gun moves regularly and paints the wall in an S-shape horizontally and vertically. Generally, it should move at a constant speed between 400 and 600 millimeters per minute. Pay attention to the consistent color and uniform thickness of the stubble area, and prevent leakage and flow.

4. The effect of batching is the best, but it consumes the most materials. However, you don’t need to use a very good paint when batching. Ordinary latex paint can also produce very good results.
