After having my ceiling and all walls in my living room skimmed, I've applied a first coat of dulux trade supermatt.
The way I did it was to use a 1" paintbrush to paint all the internal/external corners first - i.e. where the wall meets the ceiling, around the window boards etc. Then I went round with a roller and filled in all the remaining areas.
Now its all dried, you can see the areas I did with the brush more clearly than the rest becuase it looks lighter - as this was the first coat I figured the roller will always give better coverage/thickness than the brush can. I think this'll start to match the rest and wont be noticable with subsequent coats.
With subsequent coats, should i continue to do the same process - internal corners and intricate areas first with a brush, then the rest with a roller? Is this what's referred to as 'cutting in'?
Cheers
