Prepping Wall for Painting

"Hi, I'm Dan and today I'm doing demonstration for expertvillage.com. We are going to discuss how to set up and prep to begin to paint your project. What I have done, I laid down some drop clothes. I do this to cover the floors, to prevent any kind of paint splatters or drippings, for covering the carpets. It would also take I would prep my roller. In order to prep your roller, you want to get some 1 inch tape and you would take this tape and you mask off, go back and forth over your roller coat. By doing this you pull off any look threads or the fibers on the roller cover and that would prevent it from getting on the walls. After you have that prepped, then you are ready to go ahead and tape off your walls, look for any imperfection in your walls. Do any caulking necessarily before you start to paint."
