How long is it since you last painted. Paint life normally 7years. If older needs to be repainted. Has the paint colour faded. This thins the paint thickness indication the paint is failing. Need to repaint. Is the previously applied paint peeling. This allows for water ingress beneath the paint damaging the substrate. Need to repaint.

In the modern day one can repaint all year round. The reason for this is as walls are prepared they are immediately sealed that prevent water intake into the wall.

Normally the darker the colour the more expensive the paint. At Kusasa Paints we will quote you to repaint your home and once quoted paint colour choice is immaterial.

The reason why 1 coat of sealer/primer & 2 topcoats are applied is to ensure you obtain the best life out of a paint system which is normally 7-10 years Often 1 coat of paint is applied and the paint covers, however the life of the single coat of paint is reduced due to the thinness of the paint thickness. A single coat paint may last 18-24months.

  There is no difference between interior & exterior paints. They should both be a good paint as interior paint needs to be continuously cleaned & exterior paint are subjected to the harsh elements. We believe that a good quality washable paint can be used both internally or externally. A fallacy.

Water based acrylic paints with low VOC’s  are the safest to use.
