If you are painting yourself, be sure you get the correct Knapp for your roller and be sure you go over the area 2 or 3 times with sufficient pressure to get good coverage. I have painted 4 rooms in our house, and still finding the occasional really small spots that did not get covered. I used blue painters tape (Lowe's) for around all the wood molding. I was told to use a 'dry' brush of paint and put a very light coat along the tape and allow to dry, then followup with the normal wet coat, this prevents the paint from bleeding under the tape. I also did all the cut-in along the ceiling by hand. could not get tape to work at all in these areas.
I all cases, I was able to get away with one coat of paint, and approximately the recommended coverage.
Hope this helps, good luck with your project.
