我曾经做过结束的数字事情之一是为一个名为Pro Painter的杂志创建所有内容。正如您从名称中想象的那样，我必须在这项工作的过程中与许多专业的房子画家交谈，我总是让这些人询问良好的绘画结果的秘密。这里的提示，技巧和智慧来自真实世界的专业人士，但他们也为您的友好房主还清。

How to Paint Tip#1: Primer Quality Differs More Than Paint Quality

According to the pros, top formulations of latex paints are almost indistinguishable in quality from each other as they go on and age.But there is a wide difference in primer quality. Poor quality primer (or the wrong kind of primer) is more likely to ruin a job than any issue with paint. Primer is also where some people are most likely to cut corners, cheap out and regret it.

How to Paint Tip#2: Wall Prep is Key

Gary Walchuk是一个专业的画家，我自1990年以来以来，他花了很多时间修复墙面瑕疵。“I’m fussy about prep work, and the older homes really take a lot of time fixing up previous rushed paint jobs from the past.”

加里通过使用海绵打磨块手动打磨所有装饰和踢脚板。这取下了所有的颠簸，尘埃尖端和宠物头发。海绵块沿着修剪和成型的轮廓很好。Gary采用挤压化合物进行小损坏，砂光，设定型化合物，用于更大的孔。乳胶填缝最适合填充需要保持灵活的破裂区域。詹姆斯·达克英国的任何房屋购买小组同意：“准备墙壁很好地节省了大量的时间和费用，并避免可能需要重做工作的风险。”

How to Paint Tip#3: Mental Focus Matters

More than a few pro painters I know talk about some version of what I call the “zen” of painting.It’s all about pushing aside all the many other thoughts bouncing around in your head, focussing only on that one square yard of wall or ceiling in front of you. It sounds simple, but it makes for better results with less mess.

如何绘制尖端＃4：滚筒和刷子质量问题

您选择的刷子和滚筒可以将绘画的速度提高约30％，实验室测试证明了它。返回2008年，美国社会为测试材料（ASTM）创造了一个滚筒测试程序，以测量涂料滚筒的有效性。2008年，该试验用于测量来自6种不同厂商的8种不同类型的辊子的性能。最好的滚轮在平均一天中需要从墙壁到涂料托盘的三分之一。与最好的纤维的滚轮，最好的性能并不巧合。微纤维辊重新填充是最有效的。寻找他们。好滚筒持有很多油漆，你会在每次绘画会议后浪费大量的时间。相反，用紧密包裹的厨房捕手废物袋或购物袋包裹湿滚筒。只要袋子里没有孔，只要排除所有空气，你的滚筒就会新鲜，湿润，准备在早晨滚动。

如何绘制提示＃5：掩盖真的很重要

你应该掩盖该边缘还是用刷子切入？That’s always the question, but the answer is changing. Advances in masking tape are the reason why. Until 15 years ago, the tape industry was in a race for the bottom as far as price and quality of masking tape goes. As soon as one company had the nerve to create a tape that was expensive enough to work well, others followed suit. Now hardware store shelves have two types of paint-related tape. So-called “masking tapes” are cheap but don’t actually keep paint from creeping underneath. Tapes that work well for masking are typically called “painter’s tapes”, they cost more, but they work great. At least if they’re applied properly, that is. The trick is to seal critical edges by pressing with a putty knife or credit card. You can apply as much pressure as you like with your finger, but it won’t create a reliable seal.

The possibilities for improved DIY interior painting are better than ever these days.Painting is one place where craftsmanship, discipline and attention to detail make all the difference. And as a careful homeowner, you can certainly bring these things to your own painting jobs while saving money and connecting more closely with your home.
