6. All in one go

No. 6 on our list of genius painting tricks is something that will help you avoid uneven wall paint. You’ve probably heard that it’s always best to paint a wall in a single stretch so you don’t create unintentional patches and stripes that can show when a fresh, wet layer of paint meets a dry paint job.

Most professional house painters manage to paint an entire wall swiftly by “cutting in” paint in corners, along baseboards, and around doorways, and then filling in the walls before all the edges have dried.

If you don’t have time to paint the whole room in one go, tackle it in pieces, making sure to finish one entire wall at a time. With genius painting tricks like this one, you’ll paint like a pro!
