YOU HAVE CHOSEN A BARBOSA PRODUCT AND YOU HAVE NOT MADE A MISTAKE!
We are specialists in the manufacture of products for the application of paints and enamels.
We want to help you choose which ones are best suited to your needs.
BEFORE PAINTING
The first thing to do is to know the surface in order to choose the right tools.
In addition, it is also very important to know the type of paint or varnish that we are going to apply, in order to get the most out of our tools and avoid possible damage caused by incorrect use.
Once you have identified the surface, you will be able to make the right choice from our range of products.
smooth surface
You will need tools that provide a finer finish.
rough surface
You may need special tools such as tempering trowels.
inner surface
You may encounter hard-to-reach areas such as radiators, corners, furniture and require special tools.
outer surface
You may encounter high areas and need an extension pole for your tools.
water-based paint/enamel
They are easy to wash, with soap and water you will obtain an optimum result and leave your tools ready for their next use.
solvent-based paint/enamel
They are more resistant but also more difficult to remove when cleaning tools. You will need to use solvent, so you must choose your brush, roller, etc. correctly.
CHOOSE WELL
By choosing the right painting tools, you can achieve a high-quality paint finish and save time and effort in the process. Make sure you choose high quality tools that suit your needs and are suitable for the type of paint you are using.
ROLLERS AND MINI ROLLERS
They are excellent for painting large areas, such as walls and ceilings. Be sure to choose a high quality roller that has a good quality cover. Mohair or wool covers are best for oil-based paints, while foam covers are best for water-based paints.
They are ideal for painting small areas, details and moldings. Choose a high quality brush that has soft, flexible bristles. Natural bristle brushes are best for oil-based paints, while synthetic brushes are best for water-based paints.
PALETINAS
Paint trowels are ideal for large surfaces or for working in areas where an even and smooth paint application is required.
Paint trays are ideal for rollers and brushes. Choose a tray that is large enough for the tool you are using and has a smooth surface so you can distribute the paint evenly.
PAINT BUCKETS
Paint buckets are ideal for painting large surfaces or for use with larger tools such as paint rollers. Make sure the bucket is large enough for the tool you are using and has a grid so you can remove excess paint from the tool.
MASKING TAPE/MASKING PAPER
They are ideal for covering areas you don't want to paint, such as windows, moldings and baseboards. Be sure to choose a tape that is of good quality and will not damage the surface when removed.
Clean the surface to be painted and make sure it is free of dust, grease and dirt. If the surface is cracked or peeling, scrape off the old paint and sand the surface smooth and even.
Make sure the room is well ventilated and that the temperature is adequate for the paint to dry properly.
The ceiling is the first thing to paint. Start by painting the edges of the ceiling with a round brush.
To avoid splashes, do not soak the roller too much. Start with the part closest to the window (the brightest) and paint following the direction of the light rays, i.e. parallel to the sun, as possible marks are better concealed.
If a drop of paint has fallen on the walls, remove it (even if it is the same color), paint with the roller from top to bottom and in crossed passes. Try not to leave a wall half painted for another day (this way you will avoid marks).
It is advisable to paint in natural light to be able to see possible defects.
EXTERIOR
If the surface is dirty or has mildew, sand and scrape off the old paint so that the surface is clean and smooth before applying the new coat.
Protect areas you don't want to paint: Use masking tape to cover any areas you don't want to paint, such as windows, door frames and trim.
Apply the paint in suitable conditions: Do not paint on a very humid or rainy day. The surface must be completely dry before applying the paint.
Be patient: Be sure to allow enough time for the paint to dry completely before applying a second coat. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for drying time.
Maintenance: Once you have finished painting, perform proper maintenance to ensure that the paint lasts longer. This may include sealing any cracks, cleaning the surface and touching up the paint as needed.
AT THE END OF PAINTING
Clean painting tools after use so that they are in good condition for their next use. Wash rollers and brushes with mild soap and water, and be sure to let them dry completely before storing them.
