Preparation

• 1). Dust the interior shed walls with a broom.
  
  
• 2). Put on a respirator.
  
  
• 3). Protects areas you do not want finished by covering them with drop cloths and painter's tape.
  
  

Painting

• 1). Coat wooden shed walls with latex primer using a roller equipped with a nap cover. Use a galvanized metal etching primer if the shed walls are made of metal. Use a 3- to 4-inch paintbrush engineered for water-based coatings to apply primer to areas inaccessible to the roller. Wait four hours for the primer to dry.
  
  
• 2). Wash the painting tools with water.
  
  
• 3). Coat the primed shed walls with semi-gloss or gloss latex paint using the clean roller. Use the clean paintbrush to paint areas inaccessible to the roller. Wait two hours for the paint to dry. Add an additional coat if you have poor coverage.
  
  

Staining

• 1). Apply an oil-based stain to wooden shed walls using a roller equipped with a shed-free cover. Use a 3- to 4-inch paintbrush engineered for oil-based coatings to apply stain to areas inaccessible to the roller. Wait four hours for the stain to dry.
  
  
• 2). Wash your tools with mineral spirits.
  
  
• 3). Apply a protective coat of wood sealer to the stained shed interior using the clean paintbrush. Wait three hours for the sealer to dry.
