How to Prep a Room for Painting

Preparing a room for your next paint project is an important step in the process. Professional contractor and FrogTape® spokesperson Tom Bury shows you how to prep your room and walls for painting, including the proper way to clean and protect your project space.

Some tools you’ll need for the job: screwdriver, putty knives, sanding sponges, 220-grit sandpaper, a pole sander and spackle.

Before you prep you’ll need to remove or clear away room clutter, window treatments, socket and light covers, furniture, and anything else that will get in your way as you paint. Remember, the more prep-work you put in, the faster the job goes. Check out the video for Tom’s full list of helpful tips.

SEE PAINTBLOCK® TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION
FrogTape® brand painter’s tapes that are treated with PaintBlock® Technology, have a super-absorbent polymer that reacts with the water in latex paint and instantly gels to form a micro-barrier that seals the edges of the tape, preventing paint bleed and creating clean, crisp paint lines. These FrogTape® products include Multi-Surface, Delicate Surface and Pro Grade, which are perfect for any painting project. See how it works: www.frogtape.com/why-frogtape
