Painting drywall is not a hard process, but it can be time consuming and a little picky. Because your drywall can be finicky, it's best to first have the drywall hung by a trusted local drywall contractor in your local area. Once they have done their job as far as hanging your drywall and leaving you with a smooth, clean surface, you'll be able to paint your drywall using a few easy, simple steps. Painting drywall can make a huge different in the atmosphere in your home, and is a cost effective way to renovate. First, start with the right surface. This means that if it is new drywall hung by a drywall contractor, you must cover the screw indentations and any other seams that are not smooth. Get some spackle from your local hardware store and carefully cover them up with a spatula. Make sure to use a fine grit sand paper in order to smooth the spackle's edges out. Once they are completely smooth and hidden, you can continue. Buy good quality brushes and rollers that will help your painting go faster and look more professional. Make sure you consider the texture of the rollers when choosing them. Make sure to first apply a primer so that the paint will look smoother and more glossy when you apply it. Primers goes on quickly and will cut down on frustration later, so don't skip it, especially if it's brand new drywall. Remember to use painters tape to mask off any areas you don't want paint on, such as edges and doorways. This way you'll ensure a mess free and easy application.
