How to Use Water-Based Paint? A Complete Analysis of Water-Based Paint Construction Steps

For interior wall decoration, wall coatings are commonly used materials. There are many types of coatings, among which water-based paint is more eco-friendly, features strong coating adhesion, and is washable, making it highly popular among consumers. So how do you use water-based paint? Next, Xiaorun will explain the steps, hoping to be helpful to you.

I. Base Layer Treatment

First, mix water-based putty to a suitable consistency and use a brush to fill in rough areas, honeycombs, holes, and damaged parts of the wall. After the putty is completely dry, use a scraper to level off any excess. Pour the well-stirred coating into a tray and apply one coat with a paint roller. Once dry, proceed with sanding, then spray the topcoat.

II. Intermediate Coat Application

Stir the coating thoroughly with an electric mixer before use. If it is too thick, dilute it with clean water as needed. Be sure to add the same amount of water each time to avoid inconsistent thickness that affects the finish.

Pour the well-mixed coating into a tray and apply one coat with a paint roller. Apply horizontally first, then roll vertically to spread and level the paint. Maintain a uniform thickness to prevent sagging from excessive coating.

Since rollers cannot reach internal corners, use a brush to touch up these areas to avoid missing spots. Remove any roller bristles stuck to the wall to prevent visible marks; clean any such marks immediately with clean water.

Allow the first intermediate coat to dry for at least 4 hours before sanding. Sand lightly and evenly with fine sandpaper, being careful not to sand through the coating, then clean the surface thoroughly.

III. Topcoat Spraying

Due to differences in base material, condition, and dryness, always perform a test spray on a small section first. Shake the container well before use.

Keep the spray nozzle perpendicular to the surface, at a distance of about 0.3–0.5 m. Move the spray gun in a zigzag pattern, applying crosswise and lengthwise coats alternately.

These are the application methods and procedures introduced by Xiaorun. Choose Runli coatings for your home wall decoration.
