living room paint ideas vaulted ceiling
okay, the important thing is and thetrick that i found to successfully paint a 20 foot without using an extensionpole is using an edger such as this sherline paint pad as i have shown youbut when you apply the paint just apply it to the middle portion of the pad. alittle to the front edge but not too much because it will drip over if youget too close. this is your edge guide, they say have it down and you add paintand put it up when you're ready to paint. always keep a sponge handy, damp sponge,wiping off any paint, your fingers. anywhere. good thing to have. okaythis is to show you, when can you apply paint sometimes the pad will stick and feel alittle difficult to move. just kind of walk it. walk it back, maybe walk it if it sticks. like that. what we're going to do with 18 or 20 foot extension, it does work.
i know there is no paint on the pad now, this is after i'm done but i thought i'd show you as you can see i'm able to trim around a round surface such asthe base of this chandelier, as well as corners inside and outside. see myceiling is the same color as the wall which is just too dark. you can see i'm notquite finished here. we'll put the roller gently into thetray, don't want to be aggressive, you don't want to get paint on that shield so justgo slow this whole job is about going slow step by step. okay,take a quick look, no paint on the shield, that's dried paint so i don't worry about that.the edges are good. i'm going to go up my ladder, with my 16 foot extensionpole. as i mentioned the ladder is a
little shorter than the ideal situationbut we make it work. let's extend the pole out to the maximumwhich in this case is 16 feet. looking up you can see it is a long distance. put it forward and just roll. you won't get very much done. you don't want to do it twice that's it. oh isee an edge. that's it. and let it down and get more paint. it's slow but step by step itdoes get it done. a couple of afternoons and my 20 foot ceiling will be done. yay!! you
