2. Use Quality Paint and Tools - Invest in premium paint and angled brushes suited to each task.


3. Control Conditions - Paint in 50-90°F temperatures with low humidity and ample ventilation.


4. Apply Paint Methodically - Cut in edges neatly with brush before rolling larger areas smoothly.


5. Allow Proper Drying Time - Follow coat drying times on the paint can before adding more coats.


6. Add a Second Coat - Two coats give complete, even coverage and sheen.


7. Clean Up Thoroughly - Wipe spills quickly and clean tools properly for lasting results.
