Gold Coast Residential Painting

It's easy to imagine painting your own house after all it's easy right? Slap on a bit of paint and presto, but presto can easily turn into messo if you don't know what you're doing. It's true anyone can paint a house but if it's a million dollar finish you're after then you might be disappointed.

Firstly the materials you choose make a huge difference. Cheap paints will give a cheap finish and won't last. Not only that, grubby marks just won't wipe off. It's best to go with the best quality paint you can afford. They have a top notch finish and are more resistant to wear and tear. Of course it's not just the paint but the choice of rollers and brushes. Cheap inferior brushes will leave brush strokes and possibly even paint hairs in the finish.

Secondly the preparation is one of the most important steps to painting. If you cut corners with the prep it will definately show. All plastering, filling, sanding and gapping have to be done to perfection to get that mirror finish at the end. Using gloss paints is especially tricky. Gloss is usually used on frames and doors and is very unforgiving if not applied properly.

Thirdly there's a lot of physical effort involved in painting. Loading a heavy roller with paint and rolling walls all day is equivalent to a gym workout for your arms. Then if it's a step class you're after then up and down ladders all day will give you that. Don't forget to cover any furnishings with drop sheets and be vigilent in cleaning up any paint spills and splatters.
