Short answer:<\/strong> to paint a room like a pro, clear and protect the space, clean and sand the walls, fill cracks, then apply one coat of primer followed by two coats of a quality interior emulsion. Cut in the edges with a brush before rolling each coat, and leave 4 to 6 hours between coats. A standard 10 by 12 foot room takes one weekend and roughly 3 to 4 litres of paint.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n
