February 20, 20242 yr Hi All I am finally at that point of putting paint on the walls - I feel like there is 1000's m2 to do! All the walls and ceilings are mist coated I am planning on giving the walls light sand down by hand with a pole sander, what grit would people recommend? Also what is a good roller that people could recommend for me to emulsion the walls & ceilings? I have bought lots a cheap ones in the past but they have all being rubbish Any advice/recommendations very helpful Any general painting tips appreciated too! - was planning on doing the ceilings, woodwork and then walls in that order
February 20, 20242 yr 180 grit. get a professional adjustable pole and a frame that takes a roller sleeve with a fitting in both ends, not a sleeve that pushes onto a cage roller handle, you will get a better even pressure on the roller. Hamilton perfection roller sleeve 12 inch, medium pile. £20 for 3. get 4inch for the edges.
