How to Paint a Skirting Board 

Skirting Board is one of the most excellent methods to enhance the finishing of a room whether it is just about creating a seamless transition by various rooms; they looked excellent and play an important role in an interior space. To paint a skirting board, first of all, you need to pick the right color and select the same color tone as your wall. The use of lighter colors shows a small room appears larger and the selection of dark colors shows a more modern look. Choose the right brush (5cm) but in the case of water-based paint, you have to use one with synthetic bristle. Use a soft dry brush for removing the loose paint and dust and create a clean base.

If you are having a dirty board then you should make it clean by using a solution of liquid or sugar soap that would work perfectly. After creating a clear base, you need to apply a tape up your edges that would help create clear lines with the professional finishing. If your floor is blanketed, squeeze the edge of the tape down with a blunt-edged tool that will ensure the paint doesn't 'creep' under the tape. Start your painting by Managing the paint into the brush up to about half of the points, wash away the excess paint and cut into the top of the skirting first, implement the paint smoothly and operate in segments about a meter long.

Always make your final stoke of the brush along the length of the board. Apply the second coat by giving the solvent-based paint 24 hours to dry but water-borne paint needs less time, so understand the pint and follow before applying the second coat. There's no need to sand between coats.

Once the second coat is fully dry, correctly remove the masking tape. If the carpet has been masked, push down the edge of the tape to "break" the seal before removing it to unveil your perfectly painted skirting boards.
