Hey you that knows everything about painting. Student here and my employer is paying me to repaint. I’m very much a beginner (painted like 3 times in my life). They know it and they still let me do it (to give me some hours during the summer break).

I’m done with the primer and boy is it ugly… Do you know if everything looks ok? Do you see something painfully wrong? And if you have some tips and tricks, I’m happy to hear them!

Btw, if this isn’t the right community to ask this, please let me know!

    I have only one tip: use quality paint and rollers. Here in Europe we have Sigma and Sikkens. I don’t know what they have where you are from. But get the expensive stuff from a professional paint store. Don’t go to the DIY store. Even the expensive brandcstuff from most DIY stores is crap compared to professional stuff. It will be a lot more expensive but the good stuff is soooo much easier to work with. You will paint much faster, it will look much better and you need less layers.

    I painted my entire house with Sikkens Alpha Rezisto. It’s washable, which is great since I gave pets and kids.
