Many homeowners often want to devote themselves entirely and directly to the makeover of their home. Although not very practical with painting and in general with diy, it is possible to achieve an excellent result. All it takes is a little bit of inventiveness and patience. In short, you have already understood. Today we will explain how it is possible to get your hands dirty without asking experts in the field, to save money and realize your project. So, if you are ready, let’s start our mini guide today!
Let’s start with a basic element: the price. How much does it cost to buy a bucket of paint ? The average in general is four / eight euros per liter for temperas. From two to five for acrylic paints and from eight to twelve euros for paints. Finally, for primers and enamels we start from six euros up to a maximum of twelve. As for the type of color to choose, it depends on the surface to be painted, in any case we recommend a primer and a finish and always opt for water-based paints for a significant saving. For a faster and more marked effect, the other types mentioned above are more advantageous.
Now let’s move on to the brushes . the cost of painting to paint yourself does not end with the color. In fact, brushes are a fundamental element, as they give a different result depending on the type selected. In fact, it is not surprising how, for the brushes, the cost can even reach thirty euros. Everything depends on the surface and the desired effect. We suggest to choose some rollers if you are a beginner, equipped with anti-drip. In this way you will be able to avoid messes and especially to consume a much smaller amount of paint. For perfectionists, remember the existence of corner brushes (round or corner).
In general, we recommend that you first examine the surface to be painted, and then go on to purchase the necessary material.
What are the steps to follow in order to paint yourself in an optimal way ? We at Realigro have indicated the main ones, to make your work easier! Follow them to the letter !
We also remember to evaluate the presence of small imperfections on the wall. And, if necessary, to fill them with the appropriate products. Level everything to prevent the creation of unsightly effects or even mold.
If the area is particularly wet, opt for an anti-mold paint.
In conclusion, do not forget to protect yourself! Wear comfortable and old clothing and especially the mask.
