A GUIDE TO SPRAY PAINT OUR WALLS

Spray painting Melbourne

Spray Painting is a painting technique, where the coat of paint is sprayed from a spray gun on the surface. If we want to paint a number of walls in a short period of time and also desire a good finishing, we can rely on spray painting instead of using a brush or a roller. 

Spray painting in Melbourne is not an easy process, but still we can do it ourselves by following certain steps. Before we start painting our walls, there are few things that we need to arrange. First we need to get a spray painting gun, I would recommend for airless spray gun which is very reasonable. Most important is that we should buy paint as per our requirements.

The next thing we must do is cleaning our walls using sugar soap or other similar solution and repair the wall if there are any cracks, dents or holes. For the exterior walls we can have it pressure washed. We must make sure that the walls are completely dry after cleaning and free from dust.

Once the cleaning work has been completed, we can start painting the surface. Spray painting creates a lot of over spray, so we should protect the remaining area which doesn’t need to be painted. We can protect our ceiling, floor, doors and windows with newspaper and tape. We should cover our doors and windows from the outside as well. Make sure that vehicles are far from the painting area. 

Before starting the paint work we must make sure that we are fully covered and protected. We can wear a hat to protect the hair and a mouth mask, so that we don’t inhale the droplets of paint.

For preparing the spray gun, we must pour the paint through a strainer into a bin or a bucket. Straining the paint reduces the risk of any hardened paint or foreign materials from clogging the spray gun. The spray gun will take the paint from a bin or bucket and send it through the hose, so it comes out of the nozzle easily. It is also helpful in diluting the paint and making it spray smoother. 

We must start painting from a corner of the wall and work from top to bottom. The strokes must be short, smooth and steady. Try to overlap each spray by one third of the previous coat. We must keep the spray gun perpendicular to the wall as much as possible. We should not hold the spray gun too close or too far from the wall, as holding too close will cause drips and holding too far will cause a sand paper effect on the wall. It is best to do several lighter coats than one heavy coat, as applying coat heavily can also create drips on the wall. To avoid the patchy look, we can paint the entire walls in one go by doing small areas at a time.  

Spray painting technique is not only used for painting walls, but also used in other services like Spray insulation, Spray paint resurfacing, Spray waterproofing etc.

Spray insulation is a type of insulation that can be sprayed on walls, ceilings and other required surfaces where insulation is required to maintain the temperature. Spray paint resurfacing is a process of improving the look of old tiles and surfaces of bathroom, kitchen etc. Spray waterproofing is a simple way of spraying waterproof agent on the surface. 

Though we can handle the spray painting ourselves, I would still prefer and recommend to hire a commercial painting service to get the job done perfectly. There are a few points to consider when hiring a painting service, they are as follows

• Make sure that the painting service provider has a license and necessary insurance for their company
• Try to find a nearest painting service for getting the job done quickly and save money on the travel allowance. 
• Do research on different service providers and choose the best one, who are cost effective.
