✓ Remove all objects as much as you can from the room and cover the remaining furniture or objects with a sheet.

✓ Fill all holes on the surface to make for an even finish.

✓ Wash the wall with the help of a damp sponge. A sugar soap or diluted washing up liquid will work just fine.

✓ Tape the edges of objects you do not wish to paint like light switches, plug sockets and the likes.

• This step can be skipped if painting on an existing paint, but it’ll advisable to dilute small quantity of your selected paint to patch prime the holes that you’ve filled. If you have a large number of holes that was filled, then priming them would be smart.

• Mix or stir the paint thoroughly in a paint kettle to ensure an even and perfect mix.

• Now you’re ready to start painting! Start from the edges to form like a frame to work within with your roller. Once done, leave for about 4 to 6 hours to dry.

• For the second coat, simply repeat the above step to complete your painting project.

How To Paint Exterior Window Sills And Frames?

It’s a task that can be completed in little time by an experienced DIYer, however if you do not have the confidence to pull off this project, then you’d be better off calling in a professional for help to avoid costly mistakes. In this guide, we’ll take you through the exterior window sills and frames painting process.

✓ Prepare the window sills and frames. This includes, brushing the surfaces with warm water and gentle soap, scrubbing the windows to ensure all the edges and cracks are free from all forms of dirt, rinsing it with water and use a soft, clean cloth to wipe off any excess liquid and finally, drying it off with a towel or leaving it to dry off by itself before you start to paint.

✓ Remove any signs of moulds and moss, fill in the cracks between frame and glass using a multi-purpose filler, sand the frame and wipe out any dirt or dust on or around it using a vacuum cleaner, a clean cloth or soft brush. Once done, you can then apply a coat of water-based primer and let it dry off before painting.

✓ Painting. Firstly, you’ll have to sand your primed windows to make an even, smooth surface and apply an undercoat evenly to the surface. Once completed, you can then apply at least 2 coats of paint using a quality brush. Make sure you sand the first layer carefully before you apply the second to get a great finish.

✓ Once dried, you can the finish with a top coat (make sure you go for a weather proof paint for the exterior). For the window sills, you’ll have to apply the exterior paint gently with masking tape around the edges to protect the walls from the dripping paint.

can i spray paint my garage door?

The quick and simple answer to this question is yes, you can definitely spray paint your garage door - be it timber, metal, composite or upvc. However, the major concern of most home or property owners about a painted finish is whether it’ll become vulnerable to wear and tear or resist it. Will the paint easily peel off at the slightest provocation or will it stand up to abrasion? The questions goes on and on. The answer to the questions showing concerns about the longevity of a painted finish depends largely on the quality of the application.

 

For a successful and effective spray painting project, there’s the need to prepare the surface. There some materials that’ll require priming, be it a special primer or a thinned version of the paint. There are also some surfaces that’ll need some light sanding. Overall, the primary aim of preparation is to provide a clean and ideal surface for the paint to bond to. This is the most important factor that determines whether the finish is going to last or not.

 

Painting your garage door can either be done as a DIY task or you can probably hire the services of a professional. To paint the garage door yourself, you can’t buy the same equipment as a professional firm, but you can as well use a brush. This option will leave brush marks especially on metal and upvc garage doors which makes it not so appropriate if you want to have a smooth and even finish. Professional companies are highly recommended for this type of project as they possess the experience and knowledge and skills required to deliver a top quality job that’ll help obliterate all concerns you might have about its longevity.
