Make sure your painting contractor does the following before he starts.
- Scrape away any peeling or cracked paint then sand the area to smoothen the surface. (Painting Contractors Boksburg)
- Fill any holes, cracks or imperfections with crack filler. Wait for it to dry and then lightly sand the patches. (Waterproofing Boksburg)
- Clean the surface to be painted. Any dust or grime will cause fresh paint to start flaking after a while. (Painting Contractors Boksburg)
- Tape the edges of skirtings and ledges to help keep paint from dripping on them. (Painters Boksburg)
- Paint the surface with primer before painting the main colour.This will make the new paint last longer. (Painting Contractors Boksburg)
- Stir the paint thoroughly before you start and do not paint straight from the can. (Painters Boksburg)
- Pour some of the paint into a roller tray if you are using a roller. (Painting Contractors Sunward Park)
- Pour some of the paint into a small container if you are using a brush.(Waterproofing Boksburg)

- Mix paint properly by using a flat paddle rather than a round stick or rod, as the flat surface will mix
the paint particles more thoroughly than round-shaped sticks.[link](Painting Contractors Boksburg)
- Use a medium width paintbrush to first paint below the ceiling line and in the corners. Start along the
top of the wall and down the corners and above the skirting line, before filling in the rest of the wall
with a roller.(Waterproofing Boksburg)
- Wet several long strips of newspaper and place it on the glass when painting window frames. The newspaper
will easily adhere to the glass surface and will keep the paint off the glass. It is much easier to
remove the paper from the glass than tape.(Painting Contractors Boksburg)
- For solvent-based products place a couple of dishes filled with vinegar in the freshly painted room to
quickly get rid of the strong paint smell. Always keep the room well ventilated when painting and
whilst drying.(Waterproofing Boksburg)
- Put your painting tray in a plastic bag and tape it shut before decanting paint into the tray. This makes
for easy clean-up afterwards.(Painting Contractors Boksburg)
- When using a roller, roll the roller up and down at a measured pace and don't apply too much pressure.
Turning your roller over occasionally will ensure that the roller's pile stays absorbent and delivers
good results.(Painting Contractors Boksburg)
- Always ensure that the surface you are painting has no frost or dew on it before you start painting, your
surfaces should be clean and dry before painting.(Waterproofing Boksburg)
- Professional painters know that the secret to a quality finish lies in the surface preparation. Do justice
to the paint you choose by first applying Plaster Primer and then Universal Undercoat as a base coat. This
will ensure a durable, smooth and pleasing finish.(Painting Contractors Boksburg)
- Do not wash newly painted surfaces within two weeks after application of the last coat, to allow the
coating to fully cure.(Painters Boksburg)
- Most wall paints are washable. When cleaning walls use a mild soap solution and a sponge to lightly scrub any
stained areas. Be careful as heavy scrubbing may cause permanent damage to the paint surface.(Painting Contractors Boksburg)
- Cleaning walls immediately before new stains or spills dry will help to keep marks from becoming permanent
or hard to clean.(Waterproofing Boksburg)
- Check your walls periodically for loose, flaking or peeling paint, as it could be the first sign of water
leakage or seepage problems. If you do see signs of moisture or mildew, take care of it immediately to
avoid further damage.(Painting Contractors Boksburg)
