Latex paint can be applied by spray, roller, brush. These compositions are produced atomizers, considering vodoemulsionki. They provide high performance and large area spraying. The use of nozzles is advantageous for several reasons.
First, water-based paints dry quickly. On average, for partial drying them just a few minutes, and for the full 1.5-2 hours. For this reason, when working with a roller or brush on the painted surfaces can leave streaks from the uneven application of layers. Secondly, when applying the composition of the spray, which ensures its supply of low pressure, the paint is laid evenly, without streaks and layers, so the cover layer is not cracked.
There are three types of sprays that you can use when working with water-based paints: manual, electric, pneumatic. They will provide high quality shelter surface.

If the painted part of the wall, in the right place, stick masking tape and two times paint over the dividing line. Then use the roller. It is dipped in the tray and start to do strokes, trying to push evenly on the surface. For best performance it is recommended to apply two layers of vodoemulsionki: one horizontally directed strokes, the second – vertical.
