From Glen If you have children in the house or limited storage so leaving paint cans in different rooms isnt an option, an alternative is to take a photo of what paint container goes with which room and email it to yourself plus stick a photo onto the paint container. Blob the lid. I always put a large blob of paint on top of the paint pot to identify the colour quickly and I also write with a black sharpie where it has been used. Hope this helps someone else sounds common sense but I know lots of people who dont do this and should From Lyn Line with a shopping bag. Whenever we have a paint job we always line the paint tray with a plastic shopping bag, that way theres no messy clean up and the paint tray stay like new. Its also quick and easy to change colours. From Debbie. Large Resene shopping bags are often used for this. You can use them multiple times by using each side and then turning the bag inside out also. Clean as you go. Keep a clean, damp cloth close by and wipe up paint splatters as they happen. Dry the area with paper towel to remove any excess paint film. Tidying as you go will help reduce the clean up job at the end. From Gemma. We have recently been painting the whole inside and outside of our first home. Inside our bedroom is Resene Double Black White and the outside of our windows are Resene Half Black White. I came home one day to find my partner had spent the whole day painting and touching up windows with Resene Double Black White It wasnt until the paint had dried you could see how different the paint was. Always label your paint tins with the areas you are using them for We wont be making that mistake againFrom Sarah. I always put paint tins anything 4 litre or less, that is into an empty bucket. Its easier to carry them, the brushes can go in too, so that they are always there, there are no more wet rings where the tin has stood, and a cloth can be hung from the handle at the side. I cant think why it took so long to think of this. From Anna. To keep paint work on ceilings in top condition, use a grabber tool to remove marks and fly dirt. Place a moistened cloth in the grabber claws, then work gently on paint work to clean marks. Saves getting up on a chair and the whole house is done in no time. From Joanne. If you like to be able to clean your ceiling, use a durable waterborne enamel, such as Resene Space. Cote Flat, rather than a standard ceiling acrylics. Resene Space. Cote Flat is designed to be cleaned with burnishing. Standard ceiling acrylics arent designed for cleaning. An empty testpot makes an unobvious hiding place for a spare key. Put it with a few others for camouflage in the shed with the other things of this kind who would think that it had anything in it but a bit of paint From Anna. My tip comes from a table a sanded back, as one of the little knots in the wood came out during sanding. It was just a wee 3mm hole, but I mixed some PVA glue with the dust from the sanding and filled the wee hole and it matched the colour perfectly. The next day after drying I sanded it down and stained the table. From Rob. You can also use old Venetian blind slats to push between the carpet and the skirting to stop paint getting on the carpet. From Heather. Use an old oven trayto push in between carpet and skirting when painting, this stops paint getting on carpet. From Rachel. If you have paint left over from a job, mark the level on the can and dab some colour on the lid for future reference. I also dab some colour on testpots. From Robyn. The new gladwrap press n seal is fantastic for wrapping wet paintbrushes and trays to stop the paint drying out so you can use it later. Its easy to use and there is no wrestling with the gladwrap to get it stuck to the brush or rollerFrom Jacinta. We use meths to find out what paint is on the item we are going to repaint. Is it acrylic or enamel paint Put straight methylated spirits on a dry cloth and rub the surface if the paint comes off, it was painted with acrylic paint, if it doesnt come off it is enamel paint. Once you know what the paint is your local Resene Color. Shop or reseller staff can suggest the best Resene paint and prep for you. From Glenn. This summer I did a house exterior touch up. The topcoat colour is Resene Alabaster so my Resene Quick Dry white primer was going to be hard to see. As I applied primer, I marked an aligning spot on the concrete path or foundation wall with coloured chalk. This made it easier to see where to come back to apply the topcoat. Hitman Absolution Win 8 Fix on this page. From Joanne. Wrap a sheet of glad wrap around your tin before you start painting. Remove it after you finish and all the information on the tin is there for you to see not covered with paint dribbles. Saves having to ask Resene staff later on if heshe can determine the colour of the leftover paint From Liz. I use Mono baking paper to allow me to close freshly painted doors and windows and I NEVER have to worry about surfaces sticking. From Robyn. Got pesky flies coming in and ruining your paintwork Grow basil. From Charles. When choosing paint colours from testpots, paint a large square piece of cardboard rather than straight onto the wall. That way you can tape the square onto the wall with removable tape of course and you wont end up with a multi coloured room if you cant decide. From Vanessa. Plastic on the floor means you dont need to replace the carpet From Rebecca. When painting door knobs a different colour to the cupboard, drawer or door youre fixing them to, screw loosely onto a piece of scrap wood. That way you can paint all around them easily without getting fingermarks on the knob from trying to hold it or paint on the furniture youre fixing it to. From Sarah. Use empty baby milkpowder tins to hold paint. Put two holes in the top, 1 on each side clip a bungy cord on and hang it on the ladder use the plastic lid to stop skin forming when you take a break. From Malcolm. After thoroughly rinsing your brushes after painting, pop into a fold out dish drainer and brushes will maintain their shape while they dry good for storage also. From Malcolm. You do not need to use turpentine to get paint off yourself. Try olive oil it softens the paint and makes it easy to remove. It also moisturises your skin at the same timeFrom Meredith. A neat trick to reduce the mess when stripping paint and varnish from woodwork, trim etc. Clean up an empty tin and remove the paper label. Cut a slot in the side of the can. Ensure the slot is wider than the putty knife blade and a little deeper. Run the putty knife through the slot to remove the stripped waste. From Cameron. If you want the sharpest edges while painting put some masking tape on and just paint over it. From Ainslee. In a dark room where there is little natural light, always paint with light colours. It creates the illusion of more space and you can use a piece of furniture or wall as a feature. From Nikki. Bend a metal coat hanger into a hook shape and put in an electric drill to make a freedisposable paint stirrer. From Andrew. Always plan to paint a roof as early in the day as possible. By lunchtime, even on a winters day, the roof may be too hot to apply the paint.
