Asian Paints Nepal

Maintenance of walls is one of the most important aspects for the lasting beauty of a house. Wall paint is a constituent element of it.  Houses in the cities of Nepal become dull, stained and lusterless over a period of time.  The Wall colors offered by various paint manufacturers come in a wide range of shades, which can be customized to suit the different needs of the consumers. While painting your walls, it is essential that you have sufficient painting tools and know the basic techniques. It is similarly essential to comprehend the color mixes. To ensure durability and a flawless paint work, a paint of superior quality along with a trained applicator must be chosen. Above all, preparation of the wall surface is the most important aspect.

Surface cleaning

The painter must ensure that the walls and ceiling which needs to be painted are completely dry, and properly cleaned with a sand paper for the elimination of rough surfaces and loose particles. This is a part of the pre painting process. The walls also need to be cleared from dust and dirt. If not done, the coat of paint sustains premature peeling off and cracks. It is also necessary  to ensure a suitable temperature so that the paint sets in properly.

Priming

Primer is the initial coat applied to the wall surface. Any deformities and unevenness like minor cracks and holes  in the surface to be painted need to be treated before the application of primer. Wall putty can be used to fill up holes and cracks to flatten the surface. Sandpaper may be used to further smoothen the walls if required.

The primer seals the wall surface and offers uniformity in the surface of the wall guaranteeing an even and consistent look. Also, it helps conceal any stains, and the stroke marks of brushes and rollers on the wall.

Paint coating

After the primer has dried well, the paint coat may be applied after creating a proper blend for the achievement of uniformity in color. Such Wall paint colours can be purchased at different hardware or paint stores of Nepal.  Use an angled tip brush (2.5 inch) or a shed-resistant roller for painting. Some surface may require a second coat (which can be applied after the first one has dried properly).
