How to Paint a Room - Expert Tips for Painting Your Home - HouseBeautiful.com

Even the perfect shade of paint won’t live up to its potential if you don’t do a good job of applying it. First of all, make sure the paint roller is absolutely, positively saturated with paint by rolling it through the paint up to ten or fifteen times. Don’t hesitate to reload it frequently and generously, either. Be careful not to push down on the roller when applying paint, however, as doing this can create spots of darker-than normal coloration, a problem known as hatbanding.
Key Takeaways:

- Before one starts painting the walls with a roller, one has to saturate it, load it with lots of paint.

“Generally speaking, it's recommended to paint in sections—Barr says a 3-foot by 3-foot section is common.”
