What you’ll need to paint?

To start painting, you'll always need a few things. Of course, the brush, roller, masking tape, and paint you need will vary depending on the job. But we've compiled a list of the products you'll need for almost any job:

Primer. If you want to paint over an existing layer of paint, often only sanding and degreasing is necessary. So, you don't necessarily need to use a primer first. If you do see any damage, a coat of primer is helpful.
Masking tape to mask off the area you want to paint.
A brush for hard-to-reach places and for painting along the masking tape
Rollers for the remainder of the painting work
Paint roller bracket for the rollers.
A paint tray for the paint, or a paint bucket for larger painting jobs.
Masking foil to cover your floor or furniture.
A degreaser to clean all the paintwork beforehand. We recommend using St. Marc All-Purpose Cleaner .
Sandpaper or sanding pads. This ensures that the primer adheres better to the woodwork and that the topcoat adheres better to the primer.
Kit, this is used to seal joints, seams, cracks and crevices.
Optional: filler and putty knife to repair damage to the wall or window frames.

Indoor Painting

Indoors, there are countless different things that can be repainted. Water-based paint, also known as acrylic paint, is most commonly used. This paint is odorless and yellows less quickly than turpentine-based paint.

Be sure to order the right paint, as each job requires a different type. For example, water-based wood paint is best for a wooden door or window frame. View our range of wood paint here! Of course, you'll need wall paint to paint a wall . Want to paint a bathroom wall or another damp space? There's a special mold-resistant paint for this. Below, you can read about all the things you can paint indoors, including a link to a step-by-step guide.

Outdoor Painting

For exterior work, you can distinguish between two types of work: painting or staining. The difference between the two? Staining wood applies a transparent or opaque layer to protect the wood fibers from the elements and give the surface a beautiful appearance. Unlike varnish and lacquer, also known as paint, stain partially penetrates the wood. Stain also often has a transparent color. After applying a transparent stain, the wood's structure remains visible.

Buitenverf heeft het over het algemeen zwaarder te verduren dan binnenverf. Daarom is buitenverf vaak op terpentinebasis. Je wilt natuurlijk niet dat je een net geverfde deur na één regenbui alweer opnieuw kan schilderen. De terpentinebasis zorgt er voor dat de verf buiten tegen alle weersomstandigheden bestemd is.

Ook hierin zijn weer verschillende soorten verf te onderscheiden. Je hebt speciale houtverf voor buiten, maar ook muurverf speciaal bedoeld voor een buitenmuur. Hieronder wordt uitgelegd wat je allemaal buiten kunt schilderen en er staat een linkje die naar een stappenplan gaat.
