I’m currently doing a job I’ve put off since we moved here and that’s painting the garage walls white, well I’m forced into it really as I’m having the concrete floor resin coated in a couple of weeks and want it done before then. I thought the worst part would be emptying the garage, which was a herculean task in itself and involved a 6 yard skip full to the brim and our garden room stuffed full of garage paraphernalia! What is actually the worst bit of this job is the coverage of the paint. I’m doing all the joints with a brush, then doing the blockwork with a roller afterwards, see below.
I can’t get over the lack of coverage though, the paint I’m using is called Resincoat Garage Wall Coating, and whilst it’s great at filling the holes and marks that breeze blocks seem to have, the actual coverage isn’t great.
In the photograph above, the wall on the left with the pipework has had two coats, the wall adjacent to it has had three and the wall on the right has had one. I realised it would need two coats but i’m surprised I’m going to have to do four (never mind the expense)!
Am I doing something wrong or is it simply the current low temperature that’s affecting coverage? I’m following all the instructions that came with the paint.
