\nThe first task for a building painter in surface preparation is to gather all necessary tools. Keep each tool nearby for easy access during work.<\/p>\n
\nAvoid rushing to complete everything in a single day. Divide tasks into two parts: the day before painting, fill wall holes and apply painter’s tape or paper to desired surfaces. Complete remaining tasks the next day.<\/p>\n
\nIn the tutorial on building painting<\/a> preparation, it’s important to mention preparing the wall for painting. Remove everything from the wall and cover areas you don’t want painted with painter’s tape or paper.<\/p>\n\n
\nDespite efforts, paint droplets may still spill onto your clothes; hence, it’s advisable to use old clothing for “wall painting<\/a>” preparation and painting.<\/p>\n
\nIn the tutorial on building painting preparation, it’s crucial not to paint problematic walls. Repair these walls before painting.<\/p>\nPrimer Painting Preparation Guide<\/h2>\n
Priming Unpainted Walls<\/h3>\n

<\/h4>\n
\nUsing sandpaper and a scraper, remove any torn pieces of paper or damaged plaster from the unpainted walls. Before repairing the walls, ensure all surfaces are smooth or recessed.<\/p>\n
\nFor the “priming tutorial<\/a>” of residential<\/a> and commercial painting<\/a>, it’s crucial to cut two pieces of painter’s tape longer than the holes, each at least 5 centimeters wider. Apply a thin layer of putty around the holes and over the tape. Take care not to apply pressure to the tapes as they may tear.<\/p>\n
\nUsing a specialized scraper for unpainted walls, cautiously cover the entire area with putty.<\/p>\n
\nIn the building painting primer tutorial, after applying putty for repair, allow time for it to set. This process may take between two to three hours. You can speed up drying by warming the area.<\/p>\n
\nTo achieve better results, repeat these steps several times by applying additional layers. After each application, lightly sand the area. Ensure not to sand too deeply.<\/p>\n
\nFor the “building painting<\/a>” primer tutorial, once the walls are repaired and confirmed, clean them thoroughly before applying paint.<\/p>\nPriming Plaster Walls<\/h3>\n
\n
\nUsing a 5-in-1 tool, trim the edges of cracks and holes, and remove loose material. Use a small vacuum cleaner to clean the area thoroughly.<\/p>\n
\nMeasure and cut one or more pieces of painter’s tape to size and apply it over the crack. Use scissors for precise cutting.<\/p>\n
\nTake a small amount of putty with a 15 cm scraper and apply a thin layer over the area where you’ve placed painter’s tape.<\/p>\n
\nAfter applying “putty” and allowing it to dry, reapply painter’s tape over the repaired area ensuring it’s smooth and without wrinkles.<\/p>\n
\nIn the next step of the building painting primer tutorial, apply another layer of putty using a 15 cm scraper and wait for it to dry.<\/p>\n
\nAfter applying the layers, sand the area to create a smooth surface. You can apply an additional layer before sanding if needed.<\/p>\n
\nAfter completing the work, remember to gather your tools and clean the area using a vacuum cleaner and dry cloth.<\/p>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/toppainters.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/2_11zon-2-4.webp\")
<\/p>\nPriming and Repairing Large Holes in Unpainted Walls<\/h2>\n
\n
\nPrepare two pieces of plywood or drywall. Each piece should extend several centimeters beyond the edges of the large hole. Secure these boards to the wall using appropriate screws\u2014one at the bottom and one at the top of the hole, ensuring a gap between them.<\/p>\n
\nNext, place a drywall patch over the hole and screw it onto the backing boards.<\/p>\n
\nCover the seams with joint tape, ensuring there are no wrinkles after installation.<\/p>\n
\nApply joint compound over the drywall patch. Allow it to dry and then scrape the surface smooth with a scraper. Apply second and third coats after each layer dries.<\/p>\n
\nSand the patched area to achieve a smooth finish, being careful not to over-sand.<\/p>\n
\nIn the building “painting primer<\/a>” tutorial, once the wall is sanded and prepared, you can begin painting. For best results, apply a primer first, allow it to dry, then apply your chosen paint color.<\/p>\n
