Great idea for a very fresh look to your room . I’m not very tall so would make the top colour lower down by about 2’ 6” , just being in my seventies doesn’t stop me from trying ! [ no ladders , I’d be too wobbly on them ] 👍🏼👍🏼❤️🌹 🌹

This looks amazing - I’m going to do this in my spare bedroom using black on the lower half. How long did you leave the white to dry before taping with the yellow frog tape? And when you did the white over the frog tape, how long did you leave that to dry before starting the green? Thanks heaps!!

The pencil mark was covered up by paint. When you're putting the tape down, just be sure to align it on the top of the line so the line gets painted over.

Hi there. If I am painting a wall that was painted years ago (light gray) and then I want the bottom half to now be dark green do I still did to dig up my light gray and repaint over the tape before the green? It's the color that's currently and has been on my walls. Also for taping is it best to keep one continuous piece of tape as much as possible? What do you do for the corners? Try to keep the tape going and press it in?

@MakingManzanita

Жыл бұрын

yes, if you can get ahold of the old paint color, I would highly recommend the method of painting over the seam of the tape. It is worth it. Yes, try to use as much as a continuous piece of tape as possible. Just press the tape into the corners as much as you can (you can use a ruler or putty knife too) and then keep going.

Hi! Why did you paint the underline of the tape with white first and than the green? Can't you just do it with the green paint?

@MakingManzanita

4 жыл бұрын

The paint block technology of the FrogTape is activated by latex in the paint, so if you first paint over the bottom side of the tape with the 1st color it will help essentially "seal" the paint line. This will you'll prevent the paint from bleeding under the tape due to texture and any other imperfections in your wall. It's definitely worth the extra time to do this step!

If you did it at the very end does that mean you did the second coat when the first coat hadn’t fully dried? I’m new to painting so not sure how long to leave it before a second coat

Have a good cutting in brush like a Picasso, wipe the access paint from on the outiside bristles of the brush back into the bucket, then just allow the brush to do the work for you as you angle the brush. You don't need particularly steady hands or a lot of experiance, just practice in one medium sized room, and you'll get good by the end.

Not sure what you mean by "rough". We do have a skip trowel texture on our walls throughout the house.

Good idea but that green color is so 90s. It’s a strange color for a bedroom wall especially. I guess what matters is that you are happy with it. That Forrest green color isn’t ready for a come back yet.
