Cutting and Rolling

November 4th, 2010

Here we are painting an accent wall. The wall had been spray primed and we are putting on the first coat. The paint that is being used is Aura from Benjamin Moore. This is one of there most cutting edge paint lines. It is unsurpassed in colour richness. That is why we chose this brand here. It also has low VOC. After cutting the wall to the ceiling around the door we roll the remaining area. The roller would be to cumbersome in smaller areas. When using the roller it is important to roll in a ‘v pattern’ or even a line. The goal is to limit the roller edge marks and roller path mark. It is important to finish your roller path at the end of it natural roll. If you take it off in the middle of the wall it will leave a mark, and compromise the consistency of the finish when the paint is dry.
