Larger sections are often sprayed and then back-rolled, while trim is either brushed or sprayed (rolling over the still-wet sprayed paint). Spray to apply paint quickly and back-roll to get it into every crevice. In general, back rolling after spraying will spread a more equal layer of paint over a broader area than either spraying or rolling by themselves.

The style of the house should determine how colour is used. Brick Colonial, Victorian, and Arts & Crafts architectural styles all utilise colour in distinctive ways to highlight the home’s best features. Whether your property is made of brick,stone or stucco,and wood siding or shingles, the use of colour can highlight the natural hues and textures. Similar colours with subtle shading variations are frequently used to quietly “suggest” rather than “advertise” information and features. Consider a blue house with a crimson door and bright red trim; while appropriate for a quirky beach cottage, it would not go in with the majority of decorative places.
