My TV wall is 8m long hahahai recommend wallpaper LOL - in the midst of painting yesterday, wife asked me why i so nice agree to paint the house. I didn't reply her cos i was busy trying to paint the triangles, but thinking about it now, i think next time, wallpaper is better options hahaha - and its kids-safe.wifey says at the rate we are going, i suspect next time our contractor might even ask us to do painting and design for her future projects LOLOLOLbut its dang stressful, yesterday as we left the house after painting, wifey saw the yellow box on the main road, and said - "now i know why we need to do a second coat of paint" - cos the yellow paint on the box, wasn't done properly LOLOL Edited March 23, 2015 by clownprince Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clownprince 4 Report post Posted March 24, 2015 SCANDI - Stripes! you CAN Do It too! DIY Tutorial: Painting Stripes 4 simple steps on how to do your stripe wall with (almost) perfect and clean lines! (This applies to a two-colour stripe pattern that we tried. hmm, if you want to do more than 2 colours, might need to think a bit more using the same logic.)STEP ONE- paint the whole wall with the lighter colour of the two colours (let's call this the BASE COAT for easy reference). ours is blue and white stripes, so we start off our whole wall with white paint.- use painter's tape (we used 3M blue tape from ArtFriend) to paste your stripes. you should paste them on the outer side of the darker-coloured stripe. so for us, we pasted the stripes on the outer side of the intended blue stripes. after pasting, it should look like picture ONE, it looks like the stripes are of different sizes, but they are not after you paint! STEP TWO- *this is the TRICK to getting magical clean lines!*- paint a layer of your BASE COAT colour along the inner edges of the tape, where you intend to paint the darker colour. we painted our edges of the tape with white coat, on the area where we plan to paint the blue paint. this magically prevents our blue paint from seeping through the tape because the first white layer of paint has already seeped through and covered the "holes" in the tape!STEP THREE- paint the darker-coloured stripes now! we painted our blue stripes!STEP FOUR- the magical moment when you peel off the tape! SUPER SHIOKKKZZZ! no further explanation needed!- of course, there will be some parts that need touching up but i guess this is really the closest to getting your clean and perfect stripes!
