Step 5: Paint the edges

Good preparation is the only way you will achieve a professional finish. If you don't do a good job of preparing the area for painting you'll be disappointed with the finished result.

Now that you have fully prepared your painting area, it's time to start painting.

The first part of the painting to complete is to paint the edges. This means painting around door and window frames, above skirting and below coving. It's important that you use a good quality cutting in paintbrush and that you take your time.
