Painting can be frustrating when brush marks ruin a smooth finish. Follow these steps to get professional-looking results:

1. Prep the Surface

Sand lightly to smooth out imperfections.

Clean thoroughly—dust and dirt prevent paint from leveling evenly.

2. Choose the Right Tools

Brushes: Use high-quality brushes with fine, soft bristles.

Rollers: For large, flat surfaces, a foam roller or high-density roller reduces streaks.

3. Use the Right Paint

Self-leveling paint is ideal—it smooths out brush marks as it dries.

Thin thick paint if needed:

Water for latex paint

Mineral spirits for oil-based paint

4. Apply Proper Technique
