First step in this process is the preparation of the surface.  Unless your home has gone through a war zone, there most likely won’t be much preparation.  All you will need to do is make sure it is sanded and smoothed.

Second step is priming.  This is an easy stage and the main goal is to use a primer that is tinted close to the finish color.  This makes the job of applying the finish color much easier.

Third step is a surface preparation step once again.  This step is used to make sure you haven’t missed anything from the first go around.  Things such as nail holes, or any other dents or blemishes in the wall.  You fill those holes with a drywall compound.

Fourth step is to apply the first coat of paint.  In this step you are going to want to paint one wall surface at a time. 

Fifth step is going to be another surface preparation type of step.  You are doing this to check over the surface one last time to make sure it is smooth prior to the last coat of paint.  Once again, any imperfections you find can be fixed with a drywall compound.

Final step in this process is applying the last coat of paint.  This is the best part because now you will see everything come together.  So again, you are going to be painting one surface wall at time.  Make sure that the coat of paint is distributed evenly. 

Just do these 6 simple steps and you will be satisfied with how your home improvement turns out.  A simple coat of paint can change a drab room into a beautiful addition.
