1 night training to level up my painting skills with gloss painting. It's quite calming and relaxing to do this while running random songs from Spotify.
Few things to prepare & some simple guidelines;
a) Buy/prepare some wire brush (wood handle type), scrap cloths and some sand paper to prepare. Clean up dust & brush to roughen up surface - this helps the new paint to adhere easily. Sand paper lightly over the surface and then clean up dust using the cloth which you wet a little first.
b) Prepare to repaint - have gloss paint, turpentine and some containers with brushes of course. Pour out from can into plastic container and mix a little turpentine to dilute it a bit, but not too much till it's too watery. Place some newspaper to cover the floors or area that might get dripped with paint drops.
c) Paint (duh). Take your time and paint, kind of enjoy the paint. Oh, i do use a face mask, the normal ones you can get from Mr DIY or any pharmacy to keep from directly inhaling the paint fume. Probably bad for health yo.
Result is not bad. It's been more than 10 years since i last painted during my scouting days. Quite satisfying. Gloss paint costs about RM2x, total cost including new paint brush and the wire brush all total to less than RM35.
Can even paint smooth surface like inside of a wardrobe hahaha.
Let's look for next painting project. Gotta paint em all!
