Paint The Walls:
Continue to paint the rest of the first Wall and then the remaining walls in this order. Complete one Wall in full before you begin the next. To paint around a window, first paint around the frame with a small brush and then fill in the surrounding Wall space with a larger brush, roller, or pad. Once this is done, give the frames of first the door and then the window a top coat. Then paint the door of the room and add any covering to the Floor last. Paint the coving and baseboards after the ceiling and walls are completed.Textured paint This special paint or compound is spread in a thick layer on walls or ceilings and provides an easy way to hide seams in sheet rock and any visible nails. Lay the paint on thickly with a textured roller. Alternatively, apply it with an ordinary roller and, before the paint starts to dry, use a rubber-bristled stippling brush or a special toothed brush or comb to produce a variety of different effects.

Q Select the paint color for the background and paint the walls. Next, choose the color for your top coat. If you are working with an oil-based eggshell paint you will need to thin it (3 parts top color to 1 part mineral spirits). Choose a top coat color that is either close in tone or contrasts with your Wall color. With dry-brushing, you can cover the background color completely, so your top coat is the color you will see on your finished walls.
