This checklist will help you prepare for your next interior paint project:
Decide on the type of paint you want to use flat, low-gloss, glossy. (Latex-based paint is used for interior painting.)
Realize that different parts of the house might need different types of paint.
Buy enough paint to cover a room in two thin coats.
Keep in mind that a gallon of paint will cover 400 square feet in one coat.
Consider your interior wall surfaces.
Decide if your project is one that you want to tackle or if calling a professional would be wise.
Take time to remove all items that could get in the painter's way.
