Tips for proper application of paint on the walls of the kitchen

Sometimes the kitchen walls are painted in two colors, divided horizontally. In these cases, we have applied (stretch) panels - a thin strip of paint in width from 0.5 to 2 cm In order to evenly stretch panels, take advantage of advice: take the string along the length of the substrate, prokraste her any dry coloring composition (blue, stained and etc.). He came to equal height at the opposite ends of the room, with force pull the string, click it on the wall, subject to markup. Coloring of the string will record a straight line on which the cause panels. This operation is best performed alone.

The lower part of the wall surface is called the panel and its height is typically less than 1.8 m. Part of the wall, located above the panel, called a tapestry, a narrow strip between the tapestry and the panel - a frieze.

The panels in the kitchen most often painted in darker colors, because they are dirty. If you'd like to paint the panel points, or splashed. This can be done as follows: in the right hand, take great makhovaya brush. Before the surface of the wall at a certain distance, place a stick and hit her on the brush so that the spray from the blow fell on the wall.

When painting walls in this way you can use two or more different color tones, randomly splashing paint across the surface, which will give you the opportunity to get a unique decorative effect. On such a surface is less noticeable pollution.

If you want to get monotonous surface, dye alternately apply a thin layer of 2-3 hours. Covers only the dry wall. The new layer is applied to the previous just after he dries.

Tapestry taken to cover the lighter staggers over to the panel. If you want the picture on it, then apply it using a stencil or special rollers with decorative corrugated surface. Their you can buy in the store.

Frieze apply for decoration. It can be painted in color, contrast color panels or a tapestry. If you wish to be coated with a decorative tile or wooden slats. It should be borne in mind that a wide frieze makes the room visually lower than it really is.

Ready-to-use paint mix thoroughly. In the event that you are working with gustotertymi (pasty) paints, dilute their linseed oil (for oil paints) or water (for paints), and prior to use and mix well. If you want to combine several colors, each pre-mix the paint and strain. Remember that you can not mix different types of paints (for example, some types of enamel are not mixed with oil paint and water-soluble dyes).

For staining of walls, use brushes and rollers of various sizes. Form and choose a brush size depending on the size and shape of the walls or some of its stations. For painting a large surface area should use a large makhovaya brush, and for painting small areas, the surface needed a small front-end brush.

Brush down into the paint only up to half of the pile. Thus, the paint will not penetrate into its inner part, which would prolong the life of the brush, as the tool will not have long to keep in a solvent to wash the paint.

When painting surfaces try to make quick and accurate movement of a brush, so that did not have time to evaporate the solvent, and paint could well connect with the surface. New layer of paint is applied, overlapping the just painted surface to 3 cm Do this before the previous layer dry, then paint the border will be virtually unnoticeable.

For in the process of staining did not appear wrinkles and smudges, you need to press harder on the brush and hold it in the direction from top to bottom, evenly smearing the paint.

Using a roller requires special skill. First, lower the roller into the paint, then brush off the excess paint with it, tapped it on the metal grid is stretched over a shallow bucket or other container. After this roller spend 2-3 times the same place at the surface to bottom. With each new movement increases the pressure. Neighboring layer is applied to the overlap of the previous layer by about 3 cm

After staining the walls with oil paint, to make them more shiny, apply a thin layer of these special oil varnish.Varnish should be preheated, and cover them only dry wall.
