Finishing
Painting is a very important process for finishing a home and allowing it to be inhabited by people.

Put a little sand, among others.
To paint a new wall you have to prepare well so that it can receive the paint and give a better finish, although there may be no consensus, we believe the steps below are ideal for you to prepare and paint a new wall. Get more info when it comes to the polished plastering.
Sanding
The first thing you need to do is sandpaper as thick as 60 or 80 to remove the excess sand left in the plaster after it dries. But this sandpaper should be ironed only to eliminate excess and should not be too strong not to create grooves in the wall. Run the sandpaper lightly and after you finish use a broom to remove excess sand remaining on the wall.All this if it seems to be very dry and free of moisture.
Apply running putty or sealer
If the wall was internal the ideal is to apply the putty to correct any defects in the wall and leave the surface even and smooth, giving a better finish. The putty should be applied in two coats and after applying each one of them you must sand to allow it to be perfectly finished. The last step of sanding should be done with the help of a lamp to allow you to see small defects and thus correct them.
In the case of exterior walls or walls where not normally applied to the putty, it is recommended that you apply a sealer before applying the paint so that you have a better use of the paint later.
Apply the paint
After the above processes are properly completed, the paint should be applied in two coats, respecting the deadlines set by the manufacturer between one coat and another and thus it is possible to obtain a more suitable painting result of your home.

Textures and spellings look simple
They just look, but aren’t. Making textures correctly and applying and especially striking the graffiti do require a lot of expertise. In the case of texture is simpler, but the graffiti, depending on the time of year you do, it dries very fast is when you will scratch if one part is drier than the other, the result is different. It is necessary to use a brush with water to wet before scratching, but still requires great care.
Latex and acrylic running putty
Latex is for indoor use and acrylic is for outdoor use or where it may have moisture.
Colors
Ceiling is almost consensus that it should be white. Inner walls in very light tones. Ice white is a color to make without fail. Remember that the color of the wall will interfere with the lighting of your home. External is free, but avoid loud colors, no one can stand to look at it for a long time.
