They will also likely make an estimate of the total number of hours it will take to complete your painting project including preparation work, materials and labour and the cost to paint will go up with the perimeter of the area they will cover. If there are designs involved like ceiling roses, the cost can again go up.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"What is the best type of interior paint to use?","text":"The most common type of interior paint is acrylic latex (water-based) paint which can be found at any hardware store to be painted. It's easy to apply and affordable yet has good coverage and adhesion properties even for doors. It dries quickly and is safe to use around children or people with sensitive skin or allergies. Latex paint can last anywhere between 6-12 months under normal conditions without peeling, flaking or chipping before you'll need to repaint again and has low cost of painting.\r\rOil-based paints are known for their durability, glossiness and colour richness even with a single undercoat in an apartment but do require proper ventilation during application due to the strong odour they produce while drying after two finishing coats. This type of paint takes a long time to dry in the apartment. Most painters will tell you that.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"How many coats of paint will I need?","text":"The number of coats required will depend on the type of paint you'll be using and whether or not you plan to apply primer.\r\rThe majority of cheaper paints require two coats, with time allowed for drying before the next coat is applied. If you're applying multiple coats to achieve your desired hue, ensure that each one is fully dry before adding another.\r\rPrimers are optional but do help cover up imperfections in surfaces such as stains or damage that may appear through lighter-coloured paints above the skirting boards and show a low sheen in the finishing coats. They also improve adhesion between different layers on top of them which makes it last longer especially for exterior painting. Primers usually require 2-3 coats as well.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"How do I prepare a wall for painting?","text":"Ensure the area is clean and ready to be painted by removing dirt, dust, grease and any existing loose paint with drop cloths before applying primer if necessary over the skirting boards in both the interior and exterior or wherever the paint needed in one room or many. Remove any nails from the walls and fill holes with spackle. Sand away small bumps or uneven surfaces that will appear through your new paint coatings then wipe down with a damp cloth to remove all sanding dust. Wash the surface again then let it dry completely before you begin painting\r\rNever underestimate preparation work when it comes to preparing a wall for painting as it can make or break the finished result. If done properly, your next step will be easier and look better.\r\rAre you painting a heritage house?
