Clean the walls & lay down drop cloth Using a large cellulose sponge and a solution of water mixed with a few drops of mild dishwashing liquid, clean your walls to remove any dust, dirt, and grease. Dip your roller into the primer, rolling it back and forth
across the tray’s ridges a few times to remove any excess and prevent drips. Make sure the roller gets evenly coated. Run the roller up and down a section of the wall,
applying primer until the section is fully covered. Continue until your wall is
fully covered, reapplying primer to the roller as needed. Fill a paint tray with
paint; dip your roller into it, removing excess. Roll the paint an N pattern with the top and bottom of the N being about 3 inches from the trim and ceiling. The edges of the wall should be cut in first with a brush and then rolled in the
N pattern. Continue, adding more paint to the roller as needed, until the whole
wall is painted.

Tape the trim/Paint the Trim/Cut in
Use blue painter’s tape (not masking tape) to protect any areas
you don’t want your paint to get on, such as trim, molding, doorknobs, window frames, and door frames: Run long strips of the tape just inside the outer edges of these areas. (The outer edges of the tape should lie exactly where the wall meets the trim, covering the parts of the trim that your roller or paintbrush might hit when you paint.)
Dip a two-inch angled brush into the paint, coating the bristles only about a third of the way down the brush. Run the brush along the outer edge of the tape that’s covering the trim (on the wall side of the tape; not the trim side). Keep applying paint flush against your taped trim, working it outward about two or three inches from the tape. continue until you have finished painting a narrow swathe along all of the taped areas.

Pour Primary into a tray
Pour in enough so that it almost fills the well toward the
bottom of the tray without covering the angled portion of the tray where the
ridges are.

Remove the painter’s tape
Peel off the tape while the paint is still wet to avoid accidentally removing any dried paint along with it.
