About this course

This course covers the full interior repaint workflow for drywall, plaster, and previously painted trim: cleaning and de-glossing, filling and sanding, taping and masking, and choosing a primer that actually solves your problem. You will learn to cut in a straight line freehand, load and roll a wall in the wet-edge W pattern so it dries flat, and finish doors, trim, and ceilings without brush marks or roller spatter. Every step is tied to real products, coverage numbers, dry times, and the sheen and color decisions that determine how the finished room looks and cleans.
