Tips for a Flawless Paint Job
Start with a Sound Foundation
Clean Surfaces:
To ensure a lasting and beautiful finish, begin with a clean and solid base. Surfaces must be sound, dry, and free from dirt, grime, and any loose or flaky material.
Proper Preparation:
All surfaces should be correctly prepared and primed with the appropriate primer for the specific substrate type and conditions.
A Few Things to Consider
Weather Conditions:
Avoid painting in cold and moist conditions. Paint dries faster in dry air, so steer clear of humid days.
Mixing Paint:
Stir the paint thoroughly before starting. Use a flat paddle instead of a round stick to ensure an even consistency. Tip: A flat paddle mixes paint particles more thoroughly than a stick-shaped mixing tool.
Painting Technique:
When using a roller, paint from top to bottom to avoid streaks or irregular lines.
Protecting Fixtures:
Wrap door handles with plastic, such as sandwich bags, to keep them clean.
Calculate Paint Quantity:
Measure the width and height of the surfaces to be painted. Use the coverage rates provided in this booklet to determine how many litres of paint you need to complete your project, or ask an in-store paint consultant for an estimate. Always ensure you buy enough paint to complete your project and make sure it's from the same batch to maintain colour and sheen consistency.
Professional Tip
Surface Preparation:
The secret to a quality finish lies in how well the surface is prepared. Ensure every step is done meticulously for the best and most durable results.
