GOAL OF PROJECT
To turn your inspiration into a Purdy reality with a successfully painted color block wall.
Purdy® Supplies You’ll Need
NEST™ 9” Paint Tray Liner
Step 1 Plan your design.
Wipe walls with a clean, damp cloth to prepare painting surface. Use a pencil to lightly draw the lines for your design.
Step 2 Tape
Carefully tape off the trim and the marked area. Then press your thumb over the tape edge to make sure it fully seals against the wall.
Step 3 Apply first color.
Using your WhiteDove™ roller, apply your first color working in “V” pattern. WhiteDove™ provides a smooth, lint-free finish.
Step 4 Peel the tape.
While the paint is still damp, carefully peel the tape off. Allow paint to dry.
Step 5 Tape off next section.
After the paint is fully dry (check your paint label for exact cure time), mark and tape off the next shape, making sure the edge is fully sealed.
Step 6 Tape off next section.
Use your Clearcut® brush to paint corners and cut in around trim and windows. Clearcut® brushes have stiff bristles to provide a sharp cut in line. Then, use an extension pole to paint larger areas with a roller.
