Painted my first coat! It was a bit difficult to paint in a small bathroom. I wish I'd used some masking tape for the skirting boards and ceiling and covered the floors (the paint does NOT easily wash off the linoleum floor) 😭 wisdom in hindsight I guess.

Top marks for the cutting in for the edges, always a tricky job! You can buy a plastic blade to put up against the edges to avoid over painting onto other walls 😂

I am having trouble with when I paint, after the paint has dried, it
looks rough in certain areas, almost like its been sanded. I've tried
changing the primer from oil based primer to water based and then when I
paint, it stills looks like it has been sanded. Do you have any
suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong?

Hi there, I can see the Wood Ribs in the wall. Is there a way to hide that?
Thanks!!!!
