Pre Painting Process
- Inspect for water leaks on the walls.
- Cracks are common on the surface of exterior walls, so if cracks are seen, repair the cracks with a mix of powder or cement and sand. Then start painting work only when the repaired surface is completely dry.
- Inspect all drainage pipes inside the walls of the house. If rust or leaks are suspected, then repair them.

Exterior Primer
For better absorption of paint on the walls, it is better to use a primer. Applying a primer makes the exterior paint last longer on the surface. Allow the primer coating to dry for about 6 hours. Then after rubbing the surface with sandpaper, wipe it off with a dry cloth and clean the dust.
