Paul Flick Imparts 360 Painting Tips for Home Makeovers

(Newswire.net — October 17, 2017) Charlottesville, VA –Painting a home exterior is more than just routine work for maintenance; it is a proven way of giving the property a flawless, timeless look. Paul Flick, 360 Painting owner, is an industry specialist who knows how to get the job done right. With two decades of experience in residential and commercial painting tucked in his belt, Paul now operates as owner of franchise brand 360 Painting, a company based out of Charlottesville that offers professional paint projects of all types and sizes.

“Eye-catching work achieved by our professional painting services [boil down to] three crucial elements: premium paints, a professional painting process, and a customer-first approach to painting services,” Paul says of his company.

Imparting tried and tested principles for an impeccable home exterior paint job, Paul reveals that a primary consideration is the weather during a given time of the year.  Because timing is key, he suggests picking the autumn season when there is rain and low humidity to dry and cure the paint completely and get the best results.

As an industry expert, Paul reminds homeowners that a home exterior paint requires preparation. The components making up paint generally do not sit well with dirt, mildew or debris. The surfaces to be worked on, particularly in the case of repainting for a home makeover, should be peeled or chipped off completely to get rid of traces of the old paint. This may also entail the safe use of bleach, chlorine and other paint removal solutions. Surface cracks, holes, pits and dents may need to be fixed, too, prior to making that first stroke.

According to Paul, applying top quality primer smooths out the surface and effectively hides discoloration and other imperfections. When the primer has been applied, it is best to perform a test by applying paint onto a small spot—and not on the entire surface yet—to see how the color actually looks.

Sharing more than 360 painting techniques, Paul Flick underscores the importance of using a paint sprayer, as opposed to a roller or a brush, for larger surfaces. This ensures bigger, better coverage for a shorter amount of time and makes for a more even, longer-lasting coat. Starting from the top of the surface all the way down with controlled, smooth strokes is the way to go. Enhance traction and reduce the slippery situation in staircases by mixing very fine sand to the paint before application.

It goes without saying that high quality home exterior paint is one of the biggest factors for a home makeover. Equally important is finding the right paint service providers that guarantee professional, flawless results.

“Any painting project can be quickly undermined by painters who are rushing their work or who don’t know what they’re doing. No matter the project, premium materials and proven painting methods ensure picture-perfect results,” Paul concludes.
