- 1). Wash your walls with your usual cleaner. Put painter's tape around the windows and door frames. Cover your floors and furniture with drop cloths before you begin.
- 2). Cut in the paint around the edges of windows, doors and corners using a 3-inch stiff-bristle brush and a steady hand.
- 3). Pour paint into a roller tray and dip the roller in the bucket, rolling it up and down the tray multiple times to saturate it fully and remove excess paint.
- 4). Roll up and down the walls using steady, even strokes, working in one 6-foot-square section at a time, or whatever size of work space is more comfortable for you. Reapply paint every few strokes to keep the amount of paint even. Continue with up-and-down strokes until the entire surface is covered.
- 5). Add more paint to the section, this time using side-to-side strokes. This ensures that the entire wall gets coated evenly and doesn't have visible lines in it.
- 6). Finish painting the walls by doing even downward strokes across the entire surface, one section at a time. This ensures the most even look of the satin paint possible.
- 7). Apply a second coat of paint using the same technique once the first coat of paint has dried completely.
