How to Paint a Room - A Step by Step Guide

What are the numbers of the grit for sandpaper is recommended to use before repainting?

[@ThePropertyProject]

The sponges come in either coarse-medium or medium-fine (the opposite sides of the sponge will be the different sizes). You only need coarse if your trying to remove material and this kind of a paint job your just trying to scuff up the surface to give your paint something to grab. So I pretty much only buy the medium-fine sponges. The wall sander I use 120 grit.

Ceiling, Wall and Woodwork in that order.

I prefer to do the woodwork (trim) before the wall. I find it easier to cut from the wall into the trim than the trim into the wall. Definitely not the only way to do it, just the way I was taught.

I am with you with that . Its easier to wipe off emulsion spots from Gloss/satin woodwork paint.
