		Prep A smooth, professional looking paint finish depends as much on how well you prepare the surface as it does on how you apply the paint and the tools you use for the job. Don't skimp on prep time - invest in some up front preparation and the pay-off will be a beautiful, professional looking, lasting paint finish!
		Paint Start your paint job by thoroughly mixing the paint with a wooden paddle. If the paint has been sitting for some time you’ll need to stir any paste that has settled in the bottom of the can back into the paint. Be sure to choose the right paintbrush for the job and the type of paint you are using by checking our handy Get Painting Brush Guide...
		Clean-up Use separate brushes and rollers for oil-based and water-based paints and finishes because any residue of either paint left on the bristles or roller acts like glue when it comes into contact with the other. With proper cleaning and maintenance, your Dynamic paintbrushes and rollers will provide the same high quality results for years to come.
