Exterior House Painting Tips and
Advice
The Paint Professional’s Tips to Exterior Painting
(ARA) - After a long winter and temperamental spring, the summer
season has arrived and offers a great opportunity for tackling
exterior painting before hosting those backyard barbeques and summer
get-togethers. Whether your homes’ trim needs a pick-me-up or the
whole house needs a makeover, ICI Paints, international provider and
innovator of world-class paint brands such as “This Old House”
paint, offers exterior house painting tips and advice for getting
started before you pick up the brush.
Prepare the area: Start by removing objects around the home, such as
hoses, barbecues or patio furniture. Also make sure to cover
anything you want to protect such as plants, sidewalks or brickwork
with drop cloths.
Make necessary repairs: Use a wire brush or scraper to remove loose,
chipped or cracked paint. Remember to wear safety goggles as you
work to get the surface as smooth as possible.
Clean the surface: It is essential to thoroughly clean the areas to
be painted to prevent mildew from living under the surface. Rinse
the entire area, wash the surface with bleach, rinse again and allow
to dry completely before priming.
Prime the surface: To keep the surface as clean as possible, begin
priming as soon as it is dry.
Exterior House Painting Tips and Advice
Mix the paint: Given that most paint jobs require multiple gallons
of paint for any given area, keep the color consistent by mixing
several gallons into one larger five gallon bucket.
Paint the exterior: Always paint from the top of your house down.
This will cover any drips as you work your way to the ground. Also
remember to paint on the shady areas of the home when possible, as
direct sun can cause paint to dry too quickly.
Paint windows, trim and doors: Paint these areas after completing
the primary exterior surface area making sure to work from the
inside to the outer edges.
Clean up: Touch-up as necessary by removing any excess drips of
paint. Once the paint is completely dry, begin removing protective
coverings such as tape. Reattach light fixtures, house numbers and
anything else that may have been removed.

Interior Painting Ideas: Tips from Pros
Paint Like the Pros with these Tips
(ARA) - If you’ve ever taken on a painting project that was a little
too time consuming, you may have found yourself looking for some
interior painting ideas. The fact is that you can get basic painting
tips at any hardware store or big box retailer -- they’ll tell you
about taping off your trim, prepping and priming the walls, and how
to choose and apply the right paint.
But all the interior painting ideas in the world won’t do any good
if you don’t have the right tools to help you get the job done --
that’s the real trick of the trade. Investing in the right equipment
will get you off to a good start, and ensure a high-quality finished
project. It doesn’t have to cost a lot of money, either. Some of the
items you’ll need are quite inexpensive, and some of them are
reusable, which makes them a good long-term investment.
The first step in getting a room ready to paint is moving as much
furniture as possible out of the room, both to keep it from being
damaged and to make maneuvering easier and safer. If there are
pieces that you can’t move, you need to make sure they are
completely covered. Wagner Spray Tech recently introduced the Anchor
Drop cloth, an innovative design that incorporates a drawstring into
a circular drop cloth. Simply drape the cloth over a chair or other
item, pull the cord shut, and the drop cloth stays securely in
place, completely protecting the furniture. It is available in three
sizes, for just about any job.
Next, you’ll want to prep the room, covering up any areas that you
don’t want to get painted, such as baseboards and window frames.
This can be a time-consuming and tedious process, but don’t be
tempted to skip it, or you’ll find yourself spending even more time
after the fact cleaning up stray paint splatters. One way to make
this job easier and quicker is the Mask-It. This handy gadget
dispenses 1-inch masking tape without muss or fuss. The built-in
metal cutting blade means you have everything you need at your
fingertips. And at $5.99, it is an inexpensive solution to tangled
rolls of masking tape.
Interior Painting Ideas
Now that you’re ready to paint, protect your clothes with
inexpensive coveralls from Wagner. You may also want to wear a
protective hood so your hair doesn’t get an unexpected dye job while
you’re painting. And shoe protectors easily slip on over shoes to
protect them and your floors. Simply remove them when you leave the
room you’re painting and you won’t inadvertently track paint
throughout the house.
No matter how careful you are there are bound to be the inevitable
drips. Wagner’s new multi-purpose wipes make cleanup easy. The
wetted wipes clean paint, grease and adhesives from hands, tools and
working surfaces. The wipes come in an easy dispensing canister and
the kind-to-your hands formula contains aloe vera and vitamin E.
To keep your walls looking their best, Wagner has an ingenious touch
up solution. Wall Magic takes care of storage, application and
record keeping all in one. The Paint Storage and Touch-Up kit
includes three 8-ounce reusable air-tight bottles to store your
paint, a 3-inch roller and mini roller arm, a brush for crevices, a
funnel for filling, and a paint journal all in one convenient
storage case.
When you’re done painting, simply fill one of the bottles with the
paint you’ve used (the air-tight container will store latex paint
for three to five years and oil based 18-30 months). When it’s time
to touch up your walls, simply attach the roller to the bottle, make
your repair, and stow away until next time. All components are
washable and reusable, for use over and over.
Armed with these interior painting ideas, your next painting job
should be a breeze.
