      Application Tips

      Here are the application tips for Sherwin Williams Filmy Green color -

      • Start by taping. Once done, move on to the next step.

      • Now it's time to paint. Use a small brush to cut in the edges. A 2" angled brush works the best, as they can properly cut in and are easy to handle.

      • Paint the edges of the room first, as this gives you a plain, smooth area where you can roll the paint without hiccups.

      • To avoid brush lines, load the brush and don't wipe the excess. If it starts to drip, you can tap into the excess.

      • Next, tap the brush against the wall, fan it out, and pull it out.

      • Always paint one wall at a time. Paint the first wall completely before moving on to the next one.

      • Roll them into the wet edge of the border, but ensure they do not make their way up to the ceiling.

      • Once the paint dries, it'll give you consistent color throughout the walls.
