It does not matter whether my stripes will be broad or narrow, solely, edged, or crisply delineated, because stripes are always of the moment. When I think of stripes, I think about deck-chair canvas and awning.
Before I start painting, the surface has to be prepared. The surface has to be real smooth
Step 1. Apply Masking Tape
I will need to apply stripes of tape to the wall. Put the stripes of tape closed together for narrow stripes, put them far apart for wide ones.
Step 2. Paint Over The Tape
I will need to rub down the sides of each strip of the masking tape to make sure that it is down on the wall real good. The next thing I will do is to paint over the masking tape, painting in long vertical brush strokes so the paint is not forced under the edges of the tape. Leave it to dry. If I paint my stripes onto a dark base may need a second coat of paint.
Step 3. Peel Off The Tape
When the paint is, thoroughly dry I will then need to carefully peel off all the strips of the masking tape. To peel the tape off of the wall, start at the top and work down to the bottom using a steady movement to reveal my stripes that are beneath the tape.
Summary
If I am ready for a change in one of my room , stripes would be something that I could do. This way I would not have to paint a whole room, just plan it out so that both colors of paints that are used go well together.
