Dulux - Painting Tips

Dulux - Painting Tips: "Paint Spills
First contain the spill from spreading. Scrape up as much paint as possible working from the outside of the spill inwards to help prevent further spreading. Kitty litter can also be used to soak up paint."

Here is a great tip from the Dulux web site. It is also a good idea to purchase a small shop vac (wet/dry) in case of larger spills.

Paint Quality is a Great Selling Point for Your Painting Buisness

When talking to a potential customer during an estimate always make it a point to tell them about the quality of the paint you use.

Let them know that you only use "top of the line paint" which will ensure a professional long lasting paint job.

Educate them about your experiences using cheap off brand paints and the problems you ran into (pealing, fading etc.) Give them print outs from your paint of choice web site.

Here are some links to top brand paints I use and recommend...
