Bring new life and protection to old wood with Nippon Paint premium wood products developed specifically for use in
interior, exterior and deck/flooring applications.

Like any painting system, preparation is essential to a good finish and rushing will without a doubt, lead to failure. There are many factors that affect
the series of steps to adopt when painting wood, such as whether the wooden surface has been previously painted, how to prepare the wood prior to
painting and which materials provide the best results.

The right paints and painting tools, including the correct brushes, sandpaper, sealer, base coat and varnish contribute to the final look and durability of
the wood.

Tips for Painting Wood

TIP 1
Choose the Right Painting Materials
Choosing a good quality paint brush is highly recommended.
Low quality brushes often leave bristles behind on the freshly painted
surface, and do not offer a particularly smooth finish and leave brush
marks on the finished coat. Pour the paint into a paint tray to allow room
to tap the excess paint from the brush without causing a splatter.

TIP 2
Brush Technique
Overloading the brush is a common mistake made by beginners.
The idea is to load the brush with enough paint to produce a long,
even stroke but not so much as to cause runs and drips, which will
ruin the finish. The brush should be dipped into the tray and then
rapidly moved from side to side, tapping against each edge to remove
the excess paint. With a loaded brush, move to the top edge of the
surface, place the brush against the wood at a 45 degree angle, and
gently move the brush downwards in a straight line, maintaining the
same gentle pressure. When the brush begins to drag, it is time to
reload, even if there still appears to be plenty of paint left on the brush.
Short strokes and dabs will leave imperfections in the finish,
so avoiding them is the best course of action. Once reloaded, the
brush should be placed where the previous load finished.

TIP 3
Do Not Paint Over Previously
Painted Wooden Surfaces
If the wooden surface already has a layer of paint, it is not advisable to
simply add a new coat. This is because the new paint will not adhere
correctly to the old coat as the surface is not suitable for absorption.
Simply adding a new coat will result in a patchy, uneven finish, and
the old coat can cause the new paint to bubble. Prepare a previously
painted wooden surface for new paint by scraping, sanding, and filling
imperfections and cracks.
