Even high-quality paint cannot compensate for poor surface preparation.
Before painting, the existing surface should be assessed to determine the appropriate preparation process.
Depending on the condition, this can include:
Cleaning Removing dust, dirt and unsuitable surface contaminants.
Crack & Imperfection Treatment Addressing suitable cracks, holes and surface imperfections.
Filling & Smoothing Preparing uneven areas for a more consistent finish.
Sanding Creating an appropriate surface for the selected paint system.
Priming Applying primer where required.
Protection Protecting adjoining surfaces, furniture and interior elements during execution.
Painting Applying the selected paint or finish consistently.
Final Detailing Checking the finished surface for coverage, consistency and visible imperfections.
The exact preparation process depends on the surface and selected finish.
