If you’re painting walls at home, you’ll need solution to clean and prepare the walls, paint, paint brushes, paint rollers, paint trays, painters’ tape, a drop cloth and a ladder or step stool if needed. It’s also recommended to have sandpaper, a putty knife and paste to fill any holes or cracks in the walls before starting. Our team will be happy to advise you on the steps you should take for a successful project.

When choosing a paint colour, be sure to consider the room’s natural light, the colours of the existing furniture and decor and of course, your personal preferences. If you’re inspired by nature, consider earthy tones or ocean blues, or go bold and explore bright colours for an Avant Garde effect. A good practice is to research interiors online and in home decorating magazines, then collect paint swatches to look at in your home. Once you’ve narrowed down your choices, consider purchasing some sample pots of paint to see if the colours will work in your space.

It’s always better to overestimate the amount of paint you’ll need, rather than underestimate. If you’re unsure how much you’ll need, visit us at our Raymond Terrace store or give us a call on (02) 4987 2860. Our team is always happy to offer advice and assist you with your paint purchase.

Properly storing leftover paint is important to ensure that it remains in good condition and can be used in the future. Here are a few tips for storing paint so it can be used later:

• Make sure the paint is thoroughly stirred before sealing the tin to ensure the pigments are evenly distributed
• Clean the rim of the tin before sealing it to prevent rust from forming
• Store the paint tins upside down, so the paint will seal itself to the lid and prevent air from getting in
• Keep the paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, as heat can cause the paint to deteriorate faster
• Avoid storing paint in damp or humid areas, as moisture can cause the paint to spoil
• Check on the paint periodically to ensure it has not developed any mould, mildew or any other signs of deterioration

Labelling the paint tins with the colour, manufacturer and date of purchase is also important, as it will make it easier to identify the paint and determine if it’s still good to use in the future.

Cleaning your paint brushes and rollers maintains their quality and prolongs their lifespan. Here are a few steps for cleaning them:

• For water-based paint, rinse the brush or roller thoroughly with warm water. Use a brush comb or roller cleaner to remove any excess paint
• For oil-based paint, use mineral spirits or paint thinner to clean the brush or roller. Make sure to work the solvent through the bristles or fibres to remove all the paint
• Once the brush or roller is clean, rinse it thoroughly with warm water and gently squeeze out the excess liquid
• Shape the bristles or fibres of the brush or roller and lay them flat to dry. Avoid hanging them, as this can cause the bristles or fibres to lose their shape.
• Store the brush or roller in a dry place, with the bristles or fibres protected to maintain their shape.

Follow these steps and your tools will be ready for your next painting project and many more after that!
