First step is surface preparation.  Unless your house has been through a war, there shouldn’t be too much preparation.  All you are going to need to do is be sure it is smooth and sanded if you have to.

Second step in the process is priming.  This is an easy step and the object is to make sure the primer you use is tinted as close as possible to the finish color.  This makes the job of applying the finish color much easier.

Third step in this procedure is to do a surface preparation again.  This part of the process is to ensure that nothing was missed the first time around.  Things like holes caused by nails, or any other blemishes like dents in the wall.  You fill those holes with a drywall compound.

Fourth step is to put on that first coat of paint.  With this step you want to brush one surface wall at a time. 

Fifth step is going to be another surface preparation type of step.  You are performing this step to double check the surface one more time so to ensure that the surface is smooth before you put on that last coat of paint.  Once more, any of the imperfections you may find can be taken care of with a drywall compound.

Final step is to apply the second coat of paint.  This is the best part because now you will see everything come together.  So once again, apply and finish one surface wall at a time.  Ensure that the coat is evenly distributed. 

Follow all these six steps and you will be pleased with the outcome of your home improvement.  A beautiful coat of paint can turn a drab and dreary room into a beautiful new looking room.
