Painting Older Homes in Bothasig

By Bothasig Painters - Expert advice from the professionals

Home › Blog › How to Choose the Right Paint Colour
How-To Guide

Older Bothasig homes built in the 1960s-1980s have multiple old paint layers, softer plaster and often original steel windows with rust. Correct preparation — removing failed paint, crack repair, rust treatment and bonding primer — is essential for a lasting result.

Steel Windows and Rust

Grind or wire brush back to clean bare metal, apply zinc-phosphate primer, then hard enamel. Never paint over rust. See our anti-rust guide for Bothasig homes.

Bothasig Painters connects you with painters experienced in older Northern Suburbs properties.
