Interior painting: how to get a long-lasting finish

A great paint job is mostly preparation. Rushing the prep is the most common reason paint peels, marks or looks patchy.

The key steps

  • Clear the room and protect floors and furniture
  • Fill holes and cracks, then sand smooth
  • Wash greasy or dirty areas and let them dry
  • Use masking tape for clean edges
  • Apply primer or a mist coat on new plaster and stains
  • Apply two coats, letting each dry fully
