- Ask yourself a question: what are you going to paint and in what way? It seems like an obvious question, but if you don’t really think about it, you will end up buying too much or too little paint, as well as useless utensils. Calculate the square footage, the type of finish you are looking for and the appropriate color tone.
- Prepare the utensils and material. Before you get down to work,
acquire the paint and all the necessary tools.
. If you go for quality, you will save time and money, as you will reduce the amount of past and paint necessary to achieve good coverage. If you do not know where buy material to paint your house correctlygo to Tubagua. In our do-it-yourself section you will have all the necessary elements at hand. And if you have any doubts, our professionals will be able to advise you. - Before painting, prepare. We are not only referring to protecting the floor, the baseboard, the doors and their frames, the furniture… We also refer to to prepare the walls or the roof. That is, covering cracks or holes, removing old stippling, etcetera. In Tubagua we have the solution to all this: mastic,
masking tape
paper and plastic sheets to cover your personal belongings, paste to remove stippled paint, spatula to remove paper, etc. - The corners. We recommend that you start with them so as not to leave any nooks and crannies. Paint them with a brush and then with a roller. This way you will not notice the difference between the corners and the rest of the wall or ceiling.
- The second layer. It is not always necessary, especially if you use single-coat paint. Even so, we invite you to wait at least eight hours after applying the first coating to evaluate the result.
- The small details. Once the task is finished and the protective tapes are removed, go over the walls with visual acuity and brush in hand. Some pores or recesses may have been left unplugged. It’s time to fix it.
Painting a whole house can be a tedious, but not complicated job.
It is necessary to have patience, to invest hours in covering and preparing the surfaces, and to know how to let yourself be advised by those who know more about this. Come and meet us and we will give you the keys to not fail!
