FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Which interior paint finish should I choose?
Matt finishes hide lumps and bumps. Higher sheens are more durable but can accentuate them. New technology now offers a matt finish in a tough, durable, formulation so if you prefer a low sheen and want to hide imperfections in a room which might get quite a lot of traffic these are the paints for you, just check the pack for details of it's scrubability.
Higher sheens reflect more light and can brighten a room, matt finishes absorb it and are more atmospheric, so choose based on the function of your room or when you frequent it.
How much interior paint will I need?
Decide on the areas you want to paint well in advance and measure it accurately (height x width) to work out the square metre space to be painted, be sure to add all the surfaces you want to paint together.
Check the spreading rate (per square metre) of your chosen paint on the back of the can or ask a member of The Paintstore team. Then simply divide your surface area by the spreading rate. Most paints will require two coats, so multiply that result by two to make sure you have enough paint.
How can I make my room look bigger and brighter?
Off white paints, with a slight hint of citrus yellow or green will brighten any space with reduced lighting. Paint your ceiling in Brilliant White to really open up the space and ensure light is reflected throughout the hall. Bright accent colours can be introduced on picture frames and furniture to add some contrast and interest to the space. Use artificially lighting where possible, always keeping in mind the mood you want to achieve for the room.
Where do I start painting?
When painting a room, always start from the top down. Ceiling first, then followed by walls and finally doors and skirting.
What preparation do I need to do?
If it’s dirty or greasy, clean it, if it’s shiny or flaky sand it or prime it. Masking and covering up is essential for protecting all the things that you don’t want to get covered in paint, and is also a massive time saver in the long run.
It’s not always simple but never be scared to ask the team at The Paintstore for advice!
Which brushes do I need?
Buy brushes of various sizes, to help you get in every corner, and give you a perfect finish. Use large brushes where the roller won’t go, then smaller brushes (such as the edging brush) for painting edges and corners neatly. We proudly stock a range of Penolla brushes at The Paintstore. Contact us to get a quote on our range of paint brushes, suitable for every job:
Which type of rollers should I use?
Use short pile rollers for smooth walls, long pile for rough surfaces, or smooth gloss rollers for trim and radiators. You might need roller extensions for stair wells or extended roller arms for getting down the back of radiators.
When painting interior doors should I use gloss or satin paint?
Both gloss and satin finishes are durable and suitable for interior doors, the choice will be your preference for sheen. Lower sheen satin is tactile and comforting, gloss more clean and crisp. Gloss is suitable for both interior and exterior doors. Gloss will require undercoating whereas satin can be applied directly (with two coats). Both finishes are available in solvent of Quick Dry (water based), the latter is low odour and lets you DIY fast.
Is it safe for my child to help me paint their room?
Although we encourage parents to involve their children in choosing the themes and colours for their rooms, generally paint products are not suitable for children and should be kept out of their reach. Children must not be involved in the actual application of the paint.
