Start at the top. Inside, start with ceilings, then walls followed by windows, trim and
doors. If possible remove screens for painting.

Start ceilings by brushing a handwide strip all the way around the perimeter. Then using
a brush or roller, paint in half or one metre strips across the shortest dimension and
working out. Paint from dry areas into wet.

For walls, work in one meter segments from the top down. When using a roller, apply
paint in a broad M, W or X pattern with upward strokes. Even out first with horizontal and
then vertical strokes.

When painting doors, paint the frame first and then the top and side edges. On panelled doors, paint panels and moulding first, starting at the top. Finish by painting surrounding areas from top down.

When using gloss or semi-gloss on trim, less brush pressure is required than flat paints. Never try to touch up a spot that has begun to set.

Don't try to make paint stretch further than it should by overbrushing.

When painting weather-board, paint edges first.

When painting doors, paint the frame first and then the top and side edges. On panelled doors, paint panels and moulding first, starting at the top. Finish by painting surrounding areas from top down.
