Painting is a technical task that requires various techniques and tools to achieve perfection.
First, use sandpaper to scrape off imperfections like stains and old paint from the surface. Next, use a clean cloth to remove dust and other particles. Then using a filling knife or scraper, fill the wall with putty to equally level the surface. Lastly, you will need the paint bucket, a brush or roller to apply the coating and a tray.

Expert Paint Series: Types of Paint Surfaces
When you initiate a painting project, the first step is understanding which paint type is suitable for the surface. There are four main types of surfaces; wood, metal, plaster, and concrete.
Wood and metal surfaces are best paired with oil-based paint colours (Enamel), whereas plaster and concrete are better paired with water-based colours (Emulsion).
Expert Paint Series: Emulsion or Enamel?
Emulsion and Enamel are the two types of paint that are commonly used when it comes to renovations and revamps. Let’s address the differences between these two.
Emulsion colours are water-based colours with some additives that make them durable whereas Enamel paint is oil-based, durable, and stain-resistant. Moreover, Enamel paint dries slower than Emulsion and has a very strong odour.
