How do you paint the whole inside of a home quickly?

We just bought a new home and everrything needs to be painted. Is there a quicker way?How do you paint the whole inside of a home quickly?
The easiest way to accomplish painting the entire house:


l. Prep the entire area first -fix any holes in wall, spackle sand, tape off baseboards, etc.


2. do all trim work - using brush paint the tight areas(close to ceiling)


3. Roller the rest. If you are painting the entire house the same color then this really gets easy.


4. The whole process can be speeded up by having a painting party. invite all your buddies to help and then after all painting is done have a bar-b-cue or take everybody out for pizza.


5. If you are replacing the carpets you won't even have to protect them from pain spills.How do you paint the whole inside of a home quickly?
Stick to one color per room if possible,this will be easy if the ceilings are a neutral color and in good shape and don't need to be repainted. It takes much longer to paint multiple colors, especially if you want the trim a different color because you have to tape everything off and you have to wait for your paint to set for a couple of days before you can tape it. Be careful with pulling the tape off ( even the blue painters tape) or you will have to do touch- ups which add a ton of time to your project. They have purple tape which is supposed to work better I think. Use rollers they make the walls go really fast. I like the idea of a painting party, I just have never found anyone so willing to help. Have fun re-doing your new home and making it your own.
yeah have a painting party....
