Edges first, then fill in.

Cutting in means painting the edges with a brush before rolling the rest.

Steps

  1. Stir the paint well
  2. Cut in a few inches along ceilings, corners and trim on one wall
  3. While the edges are still wet, roll the wall in overlapping W or M shapes
  4. Keep a wet edge to avoid lap marks
  5. Let the first coat dry as the label says, then do the second
