When cutting in with a paint brush and using a roller for the rest how can you make it look the same?

Cut in and roll one wall at a time, you want your cut in line and roller work to dry down together. You also want to cover as much as the cut in line you can meaning get as close to your woodwork and ceiling without hitting it. A texture that the roller leaves is different from what the brush leaves meaning the brush line will have hardly any so you don't want to use a nap any thicker than 3/8's. Depending on your color you might just need 2 coats sometimes you can get away with just cutting in again or vise a verse with the roller. And make sure your heat isn't up, this way your paint won't dry so fast. Good luck Les the painter OH and this rookie still thinks pads are what women wear!!When cutting in with a paint brush and using a roller for the rest how can you make it look the same?
i do painting during the summer for extra money so i have done a bit in my time. 1use a really good cut inbrush to start. 2u should be able to run the roller edge within at least a half inch of the other surface so the only really critical area is that half inch u are leaving.3 make sure to apply the paint fairly liberaly as u cut in. it may be necessary to second coat the cut in area in light spots.


i also used a paint pad this past summer. a rectangular thing about 3x3 inches which really worked nice for cutting in.


i usually find that rookies use too little paint on their brushes and stroke forever causing a thin layer. good luckWhen cutting in with a paint brush and using a roller for the rest how can you make it look the same?
Your main thing is do not dry brush. keep plenty of paint on your brush.Use a good brush!!! The brush you use will do wonders (cheap brushes will not hold paint and are difficult to cut -in with) use your roller and roll as close as possible next to where you cut-in. You roller will leave a different pattern then your brush but it will blend. If you are new to painting you might think about masking around doors and windows so your roller will not make a bad turn and paint something you don,t want painted. It,s a little more time but lots cleaner.
You cut in first, and then roll as close to the edge as you can.





If the color is not the same after you finished, you probably put it on too thin with the brush. Do another coat after that coat dries(brush and roller)
Just overlap them slightly - they will look the same when it dries.
