Project of a Month - MARCH 1

Ol’Painting just painted this semi-attached house at Double Bay. It had some minor cracks which is common for new houses. Also paint had aged quite significantly for its age. It seems that a lower quality paint was previously used.

At Ol’ Painting we only work only with the premium quality paints. I wrote in this article the benefits of the premium quality paint. I am very confident my paintwork will last much-much longer then the original!

Choosing Paint for DIY Project

As a DIY'er you probably want a good quality at the reasonable price. So I recommend you do follow:

• Go to one of the major paint manufacturer stores or a retailer that stocks a range of mainstream brands. Stay away from small,” designer”, hand-made pant brands. They are expensive, often require more coats and may vary from dram to drum in colour and texture.
  
• Ask them: “Which exterior paint in a premium quality range you can give at the lowest price?”.

I honestly do not see any particular panit brand standing up in quality significantly (do not believe everything they say in TV commercials). So you can get a much better deal if you shop for the quality range, not for a particular brand.

Simple!

Water-Wise Brazilian Way!

Believe you or not – this is a new Brazilian complain to save the water and rainforest! Desperate times call for desperate measures! :)))

Project of a Month - FEBRUARY 2

We have been working with Jonah’s – a luxury 5-star Palm Beach hotel and restaurant, for years now. We did painting in 2004 during their renovation. Since then we were involved in maintenance painting.

Jonah’s is one of Sydney’s best known retreats. It is always busy. And whenever we paint we have to arrange works so the inconvenience to the guests is minimal. We do the work quickly and tidy, our traders are quiet, courteous and respect guests privacy. We keep the work as local as possible and most of guests do not even notice that painters are working in a building.
