Wipe wall with the clean, damp cloth to prepare painting surface.
Lay down the drop cloth to protect floors and use the painter's tape to cover trim, molding, ceiling and any adjacent walls.
Measure the height of the wall and divide it into thirds; make a light pencil mark one-third down from the ceiling; use the level to lightly draw a horizontal line at the height of the pencil mark.
Affix painter's tape just below the horizontal line; apply pressure to tape to ensure a tight seal with wall.
Using the angled brush, apply first color just inside taped area above horizontal line; use the woven roller to paint the remaining upper wall area.
Remove painter's tape while paint is still damp; clean up any mistakes with the clean, damp cloth; allow paint to dry 24 hours.
Affix painter's tape above horizontal line, positioning it so the unpainted bottom section is fully exposed; apply pressure to tape to ensure a tight seal with wall.
Using the angled brush, apply second color just inside taped area below horizontal line; use the roller to paint the remaining lower wall area.
Remove painter's tape while paint is still damp; clean up any mistakes with the clean, damp cloth; allow paint to dry, following suggested drying time on the can label.
