How to Paint Walls
Painting your walls is one of the easiest and least expensive ways to make a huge impact on your space.
Unfortunately, that impact can be positive ("wow, the room looks so much bigger") or negative ("why is there a big purple stain on the carpet in your bedroom?"). However, if you take your time and pay attention to what you're doing, painting is a fairly easy skill to pick up (it just takes a little practice... and sometimes some trial and error).

How to paint rooms in my apartment?
Start with the room you use least or the one that is not the first thing you see when you walk in the front door. That way you learn in a less obvious place.
Move everything you can out of the room and take everything down for the walls. Cover everything remaining, in the center of the room with plastic. Use spackling compound and your finger to patch any nail holes, if you have bigger holes, use a spackling knife. Buy a sanding block and sand the patches lightly until smooth (after they dry). If there are any paint drips from previous paint layers, sand them as well.

How to Paint a Room
by Walter Curtis howstuffworks
Painting a room can be a task that takes a couple of hours, a half day, or more. It all depends on what and how much you decide to paint. You can freshen up a room by giving a door or cabinet a new coat of paint in just a few hours. Or you can break it into smaller jobs and spread them out over a week or more. Whatever the size of the job you decide to tackle, the painting techniques remain the same.

Estimating Interior Paint
Estimating the paint you'll need for a job is easy. Take a few minutes at home to measure the area to be painted. A gallon of paint will typically cover 450 square feet according to the manufacturer's calculations. It's safer to figure 400 square feet of coverage per gallon of paint. If you're buying 2 or more gallons of the same color, it's a good idea to mix them all together at home so color variations don't show up in the middle of a wall.

What is the most efficient way to paint an internal plaster wall
I just recently bought a home and am planning to repaint it. But the wall is dry plaster or something and absorbs too much paint. I used Satin finish but it ended up flat when the paint dried. I did 2 layers but it didn't help. I thought there was something wrong with the paint and tried it on a closet with newer drywall and the sheen was correct.

If you want the paint to stick, yes.
You needn't sand all the way down to clear grain but at least go over it well enough to get rid of everything that is loose.

How do I fix this small chip of paint? We're renting and have an inspection coming up soon.
Use a sharp utility knife or a scraper to remove the rest of the loose paint from the wall. Save the little piece that you just chipped off and take it to a paint store to have it color matched. Buy a sample size of the paint, a small brush, a 1.5" or 2" cheap plastic putty knife, some form of 200+ grit sandpaper, and a small container of Dap Drydex spackle (any spackle should work, this stuff is just nice).
Paint shines differently compared to wall.
I tried to fix holes I made in drywall. I got the spackle, sanded it and all. I took a paint chip and went to ace hardware. I got a small bottle of paint. I painted it up. The color matches quite well but the wall shines differently under light. Did I pick up the wrong paint or a wrong finish or something like that ?
How to Paint a Bathroom the Right Way

How to make this patched drywall match the rest of the wall
Fresh drywall sucks up a lot of paint. It’s better to saturate the pores with a few coats of cheap primer beforehand just so you don’t waste your expensive paint, but some extra coats of regular paint work just fine too. It helps to intentionally overwork the paint because it causes it to eggshell more giving it the texture of a wall that has been repainted, just don’t overwork the last coat.
