How are the walls painted with water-based paint?

Painting is the most common and cheapest way of finishing the walls.

In addition, due to the variety of shades, they are quite easy to choose for a particular room, given its light and purpose.

Well, painting the walls with water-based paint, which was used by our parents, can become a universal option for many auxiliary rooms, bathroom and toilet.

Preparation for application of the formulation

Unlike wallpapers, painting is good because it does not need to prepare the surface as carefully. But this does not mean at all that this important moment in general needs to be let out of sight.

First of all, you need to remove the remains of the old cover from the walls. If you simply repaint the surface using the same composition, then you can not especially bother. But you still need to make sure there are no major damage, potholes and cracks.

Since painting walls with water-based paint involves a fairly strong absorption of the composition, it is necessary to pre-primed those places on which you plan to apply the composition. The primer must completely dry, and it can take about six hours.

Aligning walls

If rough changes on the surface are still there, they need to be eliminated, using a starting putty or a mixture for plastering. As in the previous case, it must dry completely by the time the work begins. When the first layer dries, apply the finishing composition, carefully level it, then leave it for a day to dry. As usual, it is necessary to priming. Only after this begins painting the walls with water-based paint.

Krasim!

The necessary amount of paint should be poured into a dry and clean bucket, add the right amount of water (according to the instructions), then mix it with a mixer. If you need some special color, you need to add a dye to the composition.

Remember that the painting of walls with water-based paint begins only after the foam on the surface of the composition settles, caused by intensive mixing of the solution. Pour it into a special paint bath, and then soak in the paint roller.

Process tricks

You should start at the least noticeable angle. Beforehand, you need to walk a few times in hard-to-reach places with a brush, because with a roller you can not paint them normally. However, the painting of walls with water-based paint (photo of the results is in the article) can be considerably simplified if you purchase a special corner roller in advance.

Experienced painters say that it is more correct to apply it with stripes, the width of which is not less than 0.7 m. In no case can one paint a "joint in the joint". Having dried up, these places will stand out. The first layer dries in about four hours, and for each subsequent it is necessary to allocate at least five.

And from a financial point of view, is it good to paint walls with water-based paint? The price directly depends on the surface area, but at the cost of one can (about 2.5 liters) from about 150 rubles, the repair process is unlikely to be very costly.
