Preparing your walls for paint is probably the most
important step in the process.

PREP TIP FROM BRIAN SANTOS, THE WALL WIZARD:
Proper painting preparation is important. The ability of the new paint to bond and cover properly
depends on this step. It is best to clean and wash your walls to remove basic dust and debris.

The type of trim in your room determines the type of angled brushes, painting edgers, trim rollers and other Shur-Line convenience products you'll need to help you create a professional look.

CURRENT PROJECT:
Answer these simple questions to add the proper products to your checklist.
Does your room have windows and doors with moulding?	NoYes
Does your room have chair rail moulding?	NoYes	in. (height)
Does your room have floor moulding?	NoYes	in. (height)

Does your room have crown moulding?	NoYes	in. (height)

TRIM TIP FROM BRIAN SANTOS, THE WALL WIZARD:
Paint edgers are great to use around doors and windows to trim with because the tool has guide wheels that
automatically gage the correct distance for the user so they are able to trim close without any mess.

Buying the right amount of paint the first time is critical to the success
of your project.

PAINT TIP FROM BRIAN SANTOS, THE WALL WIZARD:
Roller covers come in a variety of nap sizes for different types of interior walls and wall textures. For best results, use a short nap for smooth drywall or new plaster, and purchase a medium nap for sand-textured plaster or rough wood.

Thinking about the clean-up process as you prepare your project will make
the clean-up quick and easy - so you can enjoy the results faster.

CLEAN UP FROM BRIAN SANTOS, THE WALL WIZARD:
Our studies show that we can still clean a TEFLON® brush relatively easy days after drying, while a brush without TEFLON® may have to be cleaned with brush cleaning solvents, paint strippers or thrown away.
