These Painting Tips are essential to assist you to get the professional long lasting finish that everyone is looking for.
Preparation is the number 1 thing to get a great long lasting paint job.
Ensure that the surface you are painting onto is clean of dust and grease.
Paint doors and windows early in the day so you will be able to close them at the end of the day.
If you wear glasses when you paint, cover the lenses with cling wrap, when finished just remove the wrap.
Always remove door and window fittings before you paint. If previously painted scrape old paint out of screw slots before trying to unscrew them.
If painting on extremely hot day using water based paints, try putting a light mist coat of water on the surface prior to painting. It will help the paint flow and not dry to fast. (Don’t over wet the surface)
Remove masking tape before paint is completely dry and hard. This way it will help to stop you from tearing or chipping your fresh paintwork

I trained under Nigel as an apprentice, now I am happy to say my apprentice is training under him also. I really enjoyed my time on the training wheels, and to be honest, Nigel seems to be one of the few driven by passion for our trade. 5 stars, anyday.
This is the number one place to go if you have any questions to do with the painting trade. It is so heart-warming to see an organisation like this that is dedicated to help out and improve our industry. They are up-to-date with Government Legislation and forward the information on, even if you’re not a member. They are also passionate about assisting painters to better their own business to become more profitable. Aussie Painters Network deserves a 5 star rating in my book. Keep up the good work.
Very happy with the service! Great knowledge that has helped me grow and realise a few things I need to improve on.
Top site and wealth of knowledge and commitment to the guys on the tools.
I have dealt with Aussie Painters Network a few times over the years & found them to be very helpful, Polite & friendly, their magazine is always informative & even if you only get one thing from it, that’s a positive thing. Keep up the good work.
I want to take this opportunity to thank and congratulate the APN team for all the work they do to help educate, train and support our painting industry.
Well done mate…!
