Pour each color of paint into a separate
tray.
TIP:( Make sure you keep each roller in
its own tray).
If you want one color showing more then
add more of that color when you first roll
on.

Continue until you cover complete wall.
When coming to the corners or edges,
use a brush with one color and 2nd brush
for 2nd color- add in randomly to cover,
just overlapping colors as you would with
the roller.
