Paint Supplies

/in /by

At LC Painters we believe that every job is different and presents new and unique challenges. Each project requires experience and the tools to achieve high quality, professional results. Here is a list of some supplies we use on a daily basis:

1. Floor prep
Covering floors and protecting our client’s home is one of the most important aspects of professional painting. Tile and hardwood floors can be covered with 36 x 560 red rosin paper, if you are in an area where you can’t put paper down, drop cloths work well too. Once the project is complete you can remove these coverings, makes clean up very efficient.

2. Furniture Covering
Protecting our clients furniture is a must on all project worksites. We will look to remove large items out of the room but if that’s not an option, all items have to be tarped with 2.7m x 122m painters plastic

3. Wall prep
There is a lot things that go into the preparation of walls before applying paint. Minor/major repairs and complete surface sanding is essential to ensure a quality finished product.
Drywall compound, 4” and 8” drywall taping trowels, 80-220 grit sandpapers, 12” radial sanders, drills and assorted bits.

4. Prepping and painting trim
Before applying any paint to the walls LC Painters likes to complete trim and doors first. For repaints, all woodwork needs to be caulked and sanded before any paint/primers applied. For renovated/new build homes, new woodwork requires more caulking and nail holes/seams to filled and sanded. These areas are often sprayed in new build and renovated homes.
Wood filler, flexible caulking, 80-220 grit sandpapers, power sander, 2”/3M green painters’ tape and 3M plastic

5. Applying the paint
Now that all prep is completed and floors are covered, you can begin the process of painting your walls. Depending on the colour selection, 2 coats will be required to achieve full coverage. In some case (lighter colours going over darker colours) a 3rd coat may be required.
2.5 inch brushes, pole extension, 9” paint cages, 9”/13mm paint rollers, work lights and 2”/3M green painters tape

6. Clean up
Once you have successfully completed your mission of painting a home, it is now time to make sure everything is clean before moving furniture back into position. For the most part, you should only have some light clean up resulting from drywall dust.

Broom, vacuum, mop and lint-free rags
