Product selection
Choosing Paints & Painting Accessories
Choose for the surface
Match the coating to interior or exterior use and to plaster, metal, wood or another substrate. Review washability, sheen and any special exposure. Select primer, preparation materials and topcoat as a compatible system.
Plan colour and quantity
Approve a test patch under actual lighting. Have the painter assess surface condition and coverage before ordering. Include brushes, rollers, masking and protection appropriate for the chosen finish.
Installation
Installing Paints & Painting Accessories
Resolve the surface first
Have dampness, leaks and damaged areas assessed before painting. Clean and prepare the substrate, removing unstable material and using compatible repairs and primer. Painting over an unresolved moisture problem is unlikely to last.
Apply as instructed
Follow dilution, coating and drying requirements. Provide suitable ventilation and protective equipment. Check the first area for colour and finish before continuing, and protect nearby stone, fittings and floors.
Maintenance
Maintaining Paints & Painting Accessories
Clean within the finish's limits
Allow the coating to cure before washing. For a washable finish, use its approved gentle cleaning method and test discreetly. Avoid aggressive scrubbing that may change sheen or remove paint.
Check recurring marks
Investigate damp patches, peeling and mould sources rather than covering them repeatedly. Keep leftover labelled material only in the recommended storage conditions and dispose of unusable paint responsibly.
Care
Caring for Paints & Painting Accessories
Protect painted surfaces
Prevent furniture from rubbing walls and address leaks promptly. Keep rooms ventilated as appropriate for their use. Touch-ups may show differences in colour or sheen, especially on aged coatings.
Keep the specification
Record colour code, product, batch and finish for each area. Consult a painter about larger repairs and repainting boundaries. Do not mix leftover coatings or solvents without confirmed compatibility.
