Common Painting Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
Opting for Subpar Paints
The use of subpar paints can result in uneven coverage and early fading, jeopardising both aesthetics and durability. At Nevis Paints, quality is prioritised through our selection of premium paints designed for optimal coverage and long-term colour retention – so whether you’re painting walls, ceilings or trim, using Nevis Paints ensures vibrant finishes that stand the test of time!
Preparing Properly for Painting
Nevis Paints has an extensive selection of high-quality primers tailored specifically to different surfaces to ensure that your paint adheres evenly and stays vibrant for years. By cleaning surfaces to remove dirt and grease, sanding to smooth out imperfections and applying primer in advance of painting, proper surface preparation is the cornerstone of a successful job.
Neglecting Primer
Primer serves as a critical preparatory step that enhances both the performance and appearance of your paint job. Sealing porous surfaces, smoothing uneven textures, improving paint adhesion and producing more even finishes are just a few benefits provided by Nevis Paints primers formulated to complement our range of colours while providing seamless bases to maximise colour richness and durability.
Before embarking on any painting job, it is vitally important to address surface imperfections such as cracks, holes or peeling paint. Neglecting repairs could result in noticeable flaws when painting has finished – Nevis Paints recommends inspecting surfaces carefully and applying appropriate fillers and patching compounds to achieve a flawless and seamless surface before commencing painting.
Improper Paint Application Techniques
Nevis Paints can assist in selecting and using appropriate tools and techniques for your project to ensure smooth application with uniform coverage. We help you avoid issues like improper brush strokes, applying paint too thinly or thickly, or failing to blend edges, which can result in streaks, drips, or an uneven finish. Our guidance helps you achieve professional-looking results every time by choosing the right tools and techniques.
Neglecting Weather Conditions
Environmental factors, such as temperature and humidity levels, can dramatically influence paint application and drying times. To avoid issues like poor adhesion, extended drying times, or irregular drying patterns, Nevis Paints recommends painting during moderate weather conditions and following product-specific instructions for optimal results.
