- Use your wide brush for the flat wall surfaces. Dip the brush into the paint - just cover 1/3 of the bristles' length. To rid the brush of excess paint, tap it lightly, do not draw the brush over the rim of the can.
- Light long strokes will provide the best finish.
- To cover all bristle marks, first brush up, then down, then across, then up and down once more.
- Work from the ceiling down.
