Bouwshop Utrecht |

A fresh coat of paint instantly gives every room a new look. But before you pick up the roller, proper preparation is the key to a sleek and professional result. In this blog, you will read how to perfectly prepare your walls for painting and why Tintura wall paint is the ideal choice for quality and durability.

1. Start with a clean and even wall

A good start is half the battle. First, remove loose paint, dust, and grease from the wall. Then, fill any holes and cracks with Knauf Dunpleister Fix & Finish – ideal for a smooth, even surface.

After filling, light sanding with fine sandpaper is important for a smooth finish. This ensures better paint adhesion and prevents imperfections in your wall.

For new or absorbent walls, use the Tintura opaque primer . This ensures even coverage, prevents differences in gloss, and ensures optimal adhesion of your wall paint.

4. Masking and preparation

Use painter's tape to protect baseboards, windows, and electrical outlets. Press the tape down firmly and remove it before the paint is completely dry to maintain clean lines.

5. This is how you paint without streaks

Stir the paint well. Start with the edges and then work with the roller in strips from top to bottom. Always work wet-on-wet – this prevents streaks or lines. Let the first coat dry thoroughly and apply a second coat if necessary for perfect coverage.

6. Why choose Tintura wall paint?

  • Professional coverage and adhesion – long-lasting beautiful result.
