PAINT 11AM – 2PM FROM NOW
Something we remind vendors and landlords every winter, now that it’s cooler, don’t paint early and late in the day. The ‘Rule of thumb’ has long been 10am – 4pm are the safest hours to paint exterior surfaces but further south we advise 11am – 2pm.
If you apply paint in temperatures lower than 10 Deg C or when the sun is going and dew settling in, you can expect to either lose the paint from the surface or see it go very dull, roughened and in danger of bubbling at an early date.
Remember: if the temp is going to drop below 10 Deg C within three hours of application, expect trouble.
Interior….you still need the temp to be above that magical 10 Deg C and for that temperature to be maintained for at least three hours.
