If you're unsure about what makes the best painting project, we've compiled this handy list of tips that will ensure that your project looks fantastic - whatever it may be. Whether it's DIY at home or industrial projects and agricultural barn conversions then Palatine has something for all requirements.
1) The best results are only possible with the best preparation. It's important that the surface you're painting on is as smooth as possible, this ensures that the application of the paint has very few imperfections. Sandpaper is very cheap and will prove important in removing any bumps and rough patches.
2) Tinted primer for better results. Without primer paint applied prior to the actual paint, you'll often get dull looking walls because the joint compound sucks the moisture from the paint. If you use primer paint that is similar to the original, you won't need to worry about this.
3) Struggling to paint over textured surfaces? Even the pro's do. If you're trying (and fighting!) to get a straight line on your textured wall, simply create a small ridge with a screwdriver by running it down in a straight line. Then the bristles of your brush will be able to stop at a certain point.
4) Protect your floor. It's fair to say that the majority of people simply use bedsheets to protect their floor when decorating walls, it seems like the most logical solution but it isn't the most effective. Bed sheets are not very good at stopping spilt paint from going through the fabric. Canvas drop cloths are far more effective.
5) Avoid running. By pushing the paint slowly across corners and trips you'll avoid the paint dripping onto other items.
