Feather Out Paint Where You Can Not Maintain a Wet Edge

You can not cover large areas like ceilings, extra-tall walls or stairwells in single, constant strokes, so the most effective way to minimize lap marks on these areas is to feather out the paint along the edges that you can't keep wet. The thinner, feathery coat of paint will prevent the build-up that creates the lap mark.

To repaint a big section without leaving lap marks, roll the almost dry roller in different directions along the completely dry edge, feathering out the paint as you go. After completing the whole size of the wall surface or ceiling, transfer to the following area and paint over the feathery edges.

Then apply the first layer of paint, let it completely dry at least 24 hours, lightly sand it again for an entirely smooth surface, and use the 2nd layer. After each fining sand, vacuum the trim, after that clean it down with a tack fabric to eliminate the dirt.
