DIY Painting New Construction: Dad and I primed and painted all the new drywall in the house. We used the Graco Magnum X7 Airless Paint Sprayer with a 515 tip. Since it was new sheetrock, there was a lot of prep work involved. I dusted all the walls and ceilings with a broom. Then I vacuumed the floors to get rid of drywall dust so it didn’t kick back up into the new paint. I masked all the doors, windows, and exposed beams. Then we primed the walls and ceilings with Kilz Drywall Primer, which seals the new uncoated drywall. Then Dad painted the ceilings with Valspar Ultra Ceiling Paint. After the ceilings were dry, I masked them at the edges so we could paint the walls. Next, we painted the finish coat on the walls with Valspar Ultra – Eggshell, in the color Gravity.

We are not professional painters or experts, but we managed to get good results from this project. We painted before the floors were installed or the trim work finished, so we will probably have to do a lot of touchups after all the finish work is done.
