Getting an Even, Professional Finish
A professional finish comes from consistent roller pressure, correctly timed second coats, and careful cutting-in at edges so brush and roller marks do not show under different lighting. Rushing any of these stages is usually where DIY finishes fall short of a professional standard.
Choosing the Right Sheen
Matt, eggshell, satin and gloss all suit different rooms and surfaces - matt for most walls, durable eggshell for high-traffic areas, and gloss for woodwork. If you are unsure which combination suits your home, our paint colour consultation service covers finish as well as colour, and see our paint refresh service for lighter-touch jobs on walls already in good condition.
