After more than seven years of painting murals, I’ve tried a lot of different prep and painting methods. I want to save you the stress of wandering through the paint aisle trying to figure out what to buy or how to get started.

This guide will explain everything in simple terms so you can feel confident knowing the job will last.

I’ll walk you through the different types of walls I’ve worked with and how to get them ready so the mural lasts and looks good for years. Use this guide to help you make decisions until you have enough experience to judge things on your own.
