Thinking about freshening up an interior room this winter? Before the brushes come out, here are 5 things worth checking first.
✔ Cracks in the plaster — fill and allow to cure fully before painting. Paint doesn't bridge cracks, it follows them.
✔ Moisture or damp patches — find the source and fix it. Painting over damp never works.
✔ Existing paint condition — if it's flaking or peeling, it needs to come off before the new coat goes on.
✔ Surface cleanliness — grease, dust, and smoke residue all prevent proper adhesion. Clean the wall first.
✔ Primer — on new plaster, repaired areas, or surface colour changes, a quality primer is not optional. Contact Prominent Paints Customer Care on 0861 77 66 46 to ask for guidance on the specific primer to use based on the surface conditions.
Get these right and your topcoat will do its job properly.
