Painting projects can be time consuming, but here are some handy painting tips that will help make any painting project easier.
ABOVE: This is one project that you should make
a habit for all your painting projects. Paint
the sticks with all the paint colours or wood
stain that you use when decorating your home and
label each with the paint swatch code or wood
tint. When buying accessories, fabrics or
furniture you can take along the swatches to
make it easy to match colours. It's also handy
when buying made-to-order furniture and can't
quite decide on the colour you want.
ABOVE: As a substitute for a candle I like to
use a wax crayon. Using coloured crayons makes
it easier to see where you rubbed the wax and
also to check that you have removed it all.
ABOVE: After painting glue some felt pads to the
base of your chair and table legs. This will
protect your flooring from scratches.
ABOVE: Straining your paint before use is
especially important if using a Bosh PFS spray
system. Sometimes larger lumps can clog the
nozzle.
