Generally when painting a room it is advisable to start at the top of the room and work down. The following is a typical sequence:

1. Ceiling – Apply two full coats.
2. Walls – Apply two full coats of your chosen Paint (e.g. Rainbow Matt Finish), working away from natural light.

Doors and skirting boards – Start with the windows to give them a full day to dry before closing them in the evening.  Next paint the door & doorframe followed by the skirting.

For walls & ceilings, water based paints called Emulsions (usually referred to as Plastic Paints by painters) are recommended. You can choose the type of paint depending on the final finish (matt, mid-sheen, high sheen) and other functional benefits ( wash ability, fungus resistance, high reflectance )desired. For metal surfaces, solvent based paints called enamels (usually referred to as gloss) are recommended. Within enamels, there are choice of paints with varying sheen level & functional benefits.

For wood surfaces, you have a choice of ‘transparent’ finish and ‘opaque finish’. The former is recommended, if you are keen on retaining the natural look of wood.

For exteriors the good time to paint is when the weather is pleasant, without risk of high humidity and rain on the horizon. It is best to avoid painting, in extreme temperatures & humid conditions.

For interiors, although there are no such restrictions – an ambient temperature in-home and outside is preferable. It is best to have some ventilation during and immediately after painting in order to dissipate fumes and it also helps with drying.

Follow the instructions given by the at the back of the paint bucket.

For water based paint application on walls & ceilings: Usually, brush application is done followed by roller for a smooth and even finish.

For solvent based paints being applied on metal & wood surfaces, brush or spray application is done as recommended by the manufacturer.

For pattern finishes, special rollers need to be used for specific effect, as recommended by the manufacturer, these special rollers are readily available in the market- you can ask any paint dealer to show you various texture design.

It is an excellent question. There are lots of aspects involved, but for the majority interior and exterior tasks, simply calculate the square footage of the surfaces to be painted and divide by the number of square feet that the manufacturer indicates can be covered by a gallon of your selected paint. For that first you would have to decide the areas to be painted and the type of paint to be used and equally important is the fact that whether it is a freshly painted surface or a mere repainting of a wall. These numerous factors decide how much coats are required. We advised that you read our “How to Paint” guide for a detailed guide.

You can contact our “Rainbow Colour Advisory Service” to guide you in calculating the right quantity of paint for you or you can also use our “Paint Calculator” listed on our website..

The “Miracle shades®” are special selection of shades that are listed on our product “Rainbow Matt Finish”. They are Dark shades which are enamel based, oil based colours, and have high egg shell finish along with a higher percentage of was ability but are priced same as the regular soft tones/ shades of Matt finish

If you are painting a NEW Wall or a surface where all of the previous coating has been removed/ scraped off/ pealed off, you should first apply a coat of “Rainbow Perfecton Wall Primer Sealer” followed by two coats of the desired paint (e.g. Rainbow Silky Smooth Emulsion). However, if the surface was previously painted and that old paint is still sound, a single coat of a quality paint will probably suffice but this is depended on the shade of the previously paint so therefore it is recommended to consult the expert here at Rainbow Colour Advisory Service or your hired painter.

As explained in exquisite detail in our Rainbow Colour Guide (Check Rainbow Painting Guide section of our website), lighter shades create space. Choose a lighter/ neutral shade to paint the ceiling, you may find it interesting that for this reason most decorators/painters chose “white” as a universal favourite for ceiling

Darker shade for the same colour used to paint walls and a lighter shade for ceiling gives depth to the room. For e.g. if you are using beige for your room, use a lighter shade of beige for ceiling as compared to that for walls.

This is one of the most crucial factors in creating a look or feeling or an atmosphere for a room. It is known that colours change under different lights. Dark colours look brighter in large well-lit rooms, while pastels tend to look insipid under artificial light. You can vary the kind of lighting in a room to highlight some areas and hide the others.

A very factual example of this is seen when you go to buy garments at a very brightly lit fashion store. In all the glitz and glamour and lights all dresses even the average one is seen as the most stunning. It is all due to carefully constructed interior decoration that proves to be a key marketing tactic. We suggest that you read our “Rainbow Colour Guide” to learn those skills and be amazed on how deeply colours affects us psychologically and use these skills in your homes to create those grand atmosphere at your very home.

There is a well known saying “Too many cooks spoil the broth” and indeed if you take too many pieces of  arts, expensive lampshade, wall hangings and put them together, they don’t make your home look interesting if they are not carefully selected and placed. It is very important to decide on a look that you want to give to your room. Accordingly, the room can be decorated with wall hangings and other decorative items to complete the look. We have to observe that not always the more costly direction is the best route.

Some General Tips to get the most out of your money in making your room fascinating:

1. • Try to highlight one wall in the room. Using a bold colour for one of the walls can do this. This will attract everybody’s attention to that wall. You have to do proper lighting on this wall to highlight one wall hanging (A large modern painting, for a modern look or an antique wall hanging for a traditional look).
2. • Paint all electrical fittings, pipes, and projections in the same colon as that of walls. This will not only hide these things but will also give uncluttered and clean look.
3. • Avoid dark colour on the ceiling if your ceiling is low. Proper lighting is very important to complete a look. Carefully choose spotlights to highlight a particular section in the room. For e.g. use a spotlight highlighting a painting on the dominant wall in the room. If you have used dark colours for walls then it is all the more important to use proper lighting, otherwise the room will look very dark and dull in the night.
4. • Always decide on a theme and try and use everything related to it in the room. This will create harmony in the room and will give a complete look. For e.g. If you take nature as a theme for your living room, use any shade of green for walls, decorate the main wall with paintings of natural scenes, use actual plants at corners of the room, use wooden furniture, blue linen, curtains and flooring for a cool look and yellow for a warmer look.
5. • Avoid using too many contrasting colours in a room. Make sure that if one is able to see a section of another room from one room then colours used in both the room should be related.
