Content: When painting rough walls, the chances for drips and spills are much higher, since paint drops may accumulate on the surface. Thoroughly cover all areas that will not be painted, including windows and floors. Remove all hardware from the walls. Carefully line the edges of windows and other unpainted surfaces with painter's tape. Cutting In
Cutting in is the process of brush-painting areas that a paint roller will not reach. Dip the brush into the paint can and wipe off the excess along the edge of the can. It is tempting to apply a thick layer of paint onto rough surfaces, but doing so greatly increases the chance of runs or drips. Instead, use a moderate amount of paint on each pass. Wiggle the brush back and forth and up and down to force paint into the textured surface. Use wide brushes whenever possible, choosing narrow brushes only for detail work.
