I want to start my own decorating I’m 22 I haven’t did it before but I want to do this as a full time career I love it any tips ???

[jimtomlinsom]

Tell you to work one square meter at a time which is completely impractical on an professional job because they know their paint flashes like hell so there covering themselves.
Much easier to buy paint that doesn't flash like Johnstones covaplus

Do have your own equipment or you tell the person who you are painting for to buy the roller, brushes and paint. Great tips.

Hi do you have any tips for painting over a patch where a baby gate a rubbed a patch on the wall. I painted over it but the patch remains darker. Would it just need stain block. Only trouble is most stain blocks still show through unless you oInt the whole wall with the stuff

[shaunsims]

I have an interior wall that I have painted its a solid interior wall. Any heat from the double oven turns parts of the wall white, the paint is grey. Anyone have any ideas I touch it up but comes back after a week

Anybody who can apply vinyl silk without shadowing is a genius .

[kathywhitaker]

Vinyl silk is a horrible finish to work with, if you want a wipeable and scrubbable finish I would recommend Armstead Durable Matt which is a brilliant paint to work with! Also I don’t ever go on to door frames etc with the wall paint it’s not good working practice.

At 1:13 what did he say about the roller??

[DanielP-uebc]

Y not just use a spray to finish doors ???

[DB-kvmb]

It’s ok to slightly allow wall colour on to skirting or architrave as any good tradesmen will tell you should be applying 2 coat of gloss

[gianthills]

should have painted the door frame before cutting the wall. why are not rolling the wall with a pole?

[twinnynufc]

Dulux cant mix paints or match them nothing but problems with colours

[marcink]

Go back to school professional painter never paint wooden door frames wall paint
