Interior Painting: Step-by-Step Guide

What Is Fresh Painting And When Is It Required?

Fresh Painting is generally done in newly built homes and apartments. In Fresh Painting, the walls will be completely rough. Fresh painting may also be needed in older houses when the walls are damaged or badly painted, or if their outer layer is broken. Professional Painting Services in Auckland can ensure a high-quality finish for both new and older properties, enhancing the appearance and longevity of the walls.

Step 1: Primer and Putty

Primer is an insulating coating applied to materials prior to painting. Primer improves paint adhesion, makes paint more durable, and protects the material you are painting. Priming is used for both interior and exterior fresh painting.

Putty is used to fill minor cracks and holes in order to prepare the surface before painting. Putty is the generic name for a high-plasticity material that has a similar texture to dough or clay. It’s typically used as a filler or sealant in home construction.

1. Let it dry approx. 2 hours after applying the primer.

2. As a base, apply one coat of Putty to the newly constructed wall.

3. Allow it to dry for a few hours, say approximately. 3-4 hours.

4. Apply a second coat of Putty, and let it dry for several hours.

5. Sandpaper can be used to smoothen or level the wall surface.

6. After the putty has dried, apply a second coat of primer.

Step 2: Apply the Paint

1. Pour the paint into a bucket, add some water and then verify the colour code.

2. Use a roller or brush to apply the first coat.

3. Allow the paint to dry for a few hours before applying a second coat.

4. Finishing touches if needed.
