Hawley’s Checklist
Painting
- When starting a new painting project be sure to make a list of all the materials you will need and how much to get the job done right
- When mixing cans of paint use a large pail to mix the colors together for a better, even finish
- Blend paint by rolling from just painted surfaces to unpainted surfaces
- For best coverage, roll out a 3ft x 3ft “W” pattern and fill in areas with horizontal strokes
- If using painters tape be sure to peel before paint dries to prevent chipping or peeling when tape is removed
