Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Internal walls painted by spray gun?? 4Feb 01, 2008 3:05 pm I think our painter did two coats (undercoat and one top colour) sprayed and then rolled the final coat.
As long as you can't read the plasterer's measurements through the paint (yes, do know of a sprayed house where that happened!). Re: Internal walls painted by spray gun?? 5Feb 01, 2008 3:13 pm We just had a house we renovated painted, and it was sprayed. It looked awful, you could see through the paint. We got them to fix it and they rolled an extra coat over it and it looked much better.
Just check you are happy with the job after they've done it. Re: Internal walls painted by spray gun?? 7Feb 02, 2008 1:33 pm Most project home builders will have included for 2 coats of spray paint.
The first is a tinted undercoat and the second is a colour coat. I remember that we were only given a limited colour range to choose from because that could only guarantee a select few colours to turn out correctly when used in this way. We stood our ground and asked for another colour that they did not guarantee and guess what? It didnt turn out the same as the colour sample, much more yellow. Generally its not until you start paying top dollar for your home do you get the 1 rolled undercoat and 2 rolled colour coats. Re: Internal walls painted by spray gun?? 8Feb 03, 2008 8:10 pm Mike,
The spraying is fine. When you see your archs etc the finish is much better than with a paintbrush. You are one of the lucky ones too (or at least you should be) as Carlisle now use (after my house is finished) a real quality paint. They went from using Bristol (garbage in mine and my painters opinions) to Dulux. Matt Re: Internal walls painted by spray gun?? 9Feb 03, 2008 8:13 pm Hi Firthy,
We are also getting it sprayed then rolled. I was very shocked when the builder told me this but apparently this is way the painters are going. There is one thing for certain, if I am not happy with the paint job, they can come back and roll it again. Mrs B Re: Internal walls painted by spray gun?? 10Feb 04, 2008 8:16 am Thanks guys.
Looks like I don't have anything to worry about regarding spraying the paint compared with rolling / brushing it. Only time will tell. I'm sure the painters know what they're doing Matt.. On the contract it says they will be using Bristol (semi sec). If they have changed their paint supplier since your build do you think they will still use the Bristol on ours or the equivilant in the Dulux range?? Lyn.. That's the first thing I will look at, the plasterers measures. I noticed a few around so that would be the first thing that would show up if the paint wasn't applied thick enough. Cheers, Mike.

Unless Carlisle Homes did a variation for you (and probably charged extra) it would be Bristol. Worth asking the painters though... Thanks. Yeh ideally that would have been good, but have progressed too far now. Hoping some well placed internal walls fixed up into the battens will provide some… 2 5546 Thank you alexp79 and gommeqld for your advice, that's very helpful, thanks 3 8091 3 10301 |
