Applying the First Coat of Paint

We applied our first coat of paint to the wood today. We spent a while carefully choosing tape which we trusted enough not to allow the paint to bleed through. After taping up the edges we applied the first coat with paintbrushes. For the next coat we are keen to use rollers as we believe this will give us a more even finish. In the meanwhile we will sand down the paint after this coat to ensure it is smooth.
