The most important elements of any painting job are

• the preparation of the surface
• the application of the coating.

According to Greg Meaker, the Managing Director of Dekro Paints, the vast majority of all failures in coating projects are the result of poor preparation or application.

This section of the site therefore provides you with hints and advice on preparing various surfaces for painting, and on applying paints to these surfaces.
