Sure cheap brushes can be used, painting tools and even paint! It might seem like it doesn't matter, but it can make a huge difference in the way that it looks completed. Finding the right tools, paints and techniques can mean the ability to tell whether a professional interior paining professional completed it or a novice. There is however good news for those wanting to try their hand at painting, it is just a matter of purchasing the right stuff!

Brushes & Tools

The brushes chosen for the job should be of good quality, because it can make a big difference in the smoothness of the strokes and how even the paint goes on. This is something that a professional interior painting artist will never scrimp on because they know the true importance. Other tools such as the "cut in" should also be purchased. This is the tool that paints a strip around the top of the wall to avoid any paint transfer to the ceiling. Of course the choice in paint also makes a difference. Cheaper paint will not cover as well, because it is thinner so oftentimes homeowners find that they actually spend as much or more because they have to add so many coats

Pre-Treat & A Second Coat

Walls that have dark colored paint or stains should be pre-treated with a coat of Kilz or some other product before putting the paint on the wall. Otherwise the color or stain might bleed through and can be much harder to fix at that stage. Depending on the color choice of paint, many walls need a second coat. It simply makes the wall look smoother and oftentimes enhances the color! Allow it to fully dry before adding any additional coats of paint or other kind of sealant!
