Steps:
  1. Cut-in all the way around the room with a brush after taping molding and trim. Use a foam roller to fill the brushed area in and to smooth the strokes (figure A).
  2. Apply the paint with a foam roller with a special spatter guard in 18-inch "V " sections (figure B). Roll it on, and then fill in the middle. Get more paint often - you don't want to spread this product out, but rather fill it in. Finally , when you have a large section done, go from the top to the bottom again with the roller in one motion.
  3. Apply a second coat in the same manner.
