Painting interior wall with semi gloss paint, what type of paint roller do i use?

Wash the walls with soft cotton cloth dowsed in warm water with some gentle soap, such as dish soap. You do not necessarily need to scrape off the old layer of paint unless it is flaking or full of cracks.





Step 2Tape off any edges over which you do not want to prime or paint. Take your time with this step, as it will make all the difference in achieving sharp lines.





Step 3Prime the wall with one or two coats of primer. For very vibrant colors you will need two coats. To apply a basic white primer, use a roller to apply the primer evenly across the entire wall. To reach into corners, use a brush.





Step 4Prepare the paint. Make sure the bucket has been shaken at the store where you buy it. When you open the bucket, stir it well, all the way to the bottom.





Step 5Pour some paint into a mixing pan. Do not fill the pan. Leave some room to roll excess paint off the paint roller when you go to dip it into the paint in the reservoir.





Step 6Dowse the roller in paint in the mixing pan. Roll off any excess in the flat part of the pan. Do not roll too much off--just enough to make sure no paint drips off the roller on its way to the wall.





Step 7Coat the entire primed and dried wall with a coat of paint. Spread as evenly as possible while refraining from spreading the paint too thin. Wait until dry. Add another coat.





Step 8If necessary, add a third or even a fourth coat.
