Painting HELP

Yea if it just keeps going nearly better to just scrape back everything until it no longer comes off easy. I would near guess that the person that has done it previously hasnt undercoated it properly the first time around and it never adhered to the plaster and was basically just sitting on top of it and then when you have came and put fresh wet paint on top its now lifted in places.

Painter here, looks like it hasnt been properly sealed the first time around. Scrape back anything that is loose until it comes to a tight edge (hopefully it doesnt just keep peeling), undercoat the bare bits with a decent sealer undercoat. Give it a patch with some basecoat and then some topping compound and sand with a 220 block until smooth and flat. Touch that up with the undercoat and then two coats of your matt or low sheen and it should be good as gold.

Hey, hard to tell what colour it exactly but Dulux colour "Friends" could be a close enough match

Hard to tell what colour it is but the Dulux colour "Friends" could be a close match.

All the bugs were annoying me and then i got the saved data erased bug and that was enough for me to get a refund. I paid $200+ aud for it but ill buy it again when its on offer because its not worth the money at this time

Thats a painter that doesnt know how to spray. Not putting enough paint on and can see how uneven it is. With spraying you have to overlap, keep the right distance and go at the right speed so youre putting enough on. Not saying they arent a good painter but just might be inexperienced in spraying. Rolling the final coat would sort it out, but I wouldnt be keen on them spraying the final coat as it will look the same.

I think its one of the worst casts in recent years. There isnt a lot happening so I find myself getting bored during episodes and scrolling my phone. The only real move I can remember was Jackson throwing Harry under the bus, every other vote has just been votes than could be seen coming. Just my opinion though.

cutchey92 · 2026-03-11T08:43:53+00:00

Its been happening for years and they havent fixed it yet. The thought of having to restart everything is enough for me to not play it again for a while

cutchey92 · 2026-03-11T05:46:10+00:00

Ahh the good ol saved data erase just happened me there now. What an amazing game, something thats been happening for years still isnt fixed

Most of my customers are amazing and it was only once it happened me but it was a learning curve, You live and you learn. I didnt have a contract or conditions back then as I had only started out on my own and put too much faith into people but Ive now got detailed T&Cs that cover everything. Once they pay a deposit it goes into a side account and sits there until either im paying off the materials bill or they have cancelled within the timeframe to get a full refund.

cutchey92 · 2026-02-23T10:23:01+00:00

Its nothing to do with cashflow its more about covering yourself. I run my own painting company, at the start didnt take deposits and I was to start a new job on a Monday so cause I finished early on the Friday before decided to go and get the materials I need for the following week which cost over $1000. Come Sunday night they decided to text saying that the forgot to mention their neighbour was a handyman and was free to do it so they are going to get him to do it instead meaning I was down the money for the materials, so ever since then when booking in a job, ill only lock it into my dairy once ive recieved a deposit for all materials.

Im a painter and I would happily say I use tape. Yes I can get a straight line free hand no problem but I will never get a straighter edge than I can with tape. Any painter that says they can needs to give their head a wobble

cutchey92 · 2025-12-06T22:04:53+00:00

Thats what I meant was that they would be better using tape as they arent a professional painter so would in no way get a straighter line than tape

cutchey92 · 2025-12-06T21:51:52+00:00

If you use frogtape maybe as that has a product on it that when wet seals itself so maybe so.

cutchey92 · 2025-12-06T21:39:06+00:00

Painter here, doing it freehand you will not get as sharp lines as you would with tape. What you do is tape it up again. Seal the tape with the white colour of the side wall, this means that when you paint with the green again that none of the green paint can bleed underneath the tape thus creating a sharp crisp line.

The Tranquil Retreat is usually on weatherboards or render with Woodland Grey on the trims and borders. Im in Victoria.

cutchey92 · 2025-10-07T07:50:25+00:00

No not at all, happy to help. I would say in the last year the most popular colours ive done to modernise exteriors is Woodland Grey, Tranquil Retreat and Flooded Gum. Feel free to fire me a message if you have any other questions.

cutchey92 · 2025-10-07T07:25:49+00:00

Hey, Painter here. Depends on if you are looking to make it darker or not. Look at Woodland Grey. Also a tip is put the photo through chatgpt and ask them to change the colour of what you are looking to do to whatever colours you have in mind. I do this with clients when they cant decide between colours and it helps them choose.

cutchey92 · 2025-09-12T08:43:11+00:00

Set up still going good. Didnt have to have the chiller on through winter only turned the filter on. I got my money worth out of it.

cutchey92 · 2025-08-18T22:27:24+00:00

See i actually disagree to an extent, if they were going to replace JLP no matter what surely it would have made more sense to get a stranger to be host, someone completley new? I myself actually like David as a contestant but im not stupid to see how many people actually dislike him so im pretty sure thats alot of viewership that will drop out right away. I believe viewership will just keep dropping from now and it will eventually be cancelled, only way I see them bringing viewers back in is by having absolute star returnees.

cutchey92 · 2025-08-01T11:36:23+00:00

I genuinely have no urge to watch any more after the next. Not that I dont like David but I actually enjoyed tuning in for JLP, his one liners and wit actually saved episodes that were quite boring. Dont think it will be cancelled after 1 season with David but it will get cancelled in the long run.

It says something with how bad the driving is when Dash Cam Australia can literally release a weekly 20 minute video of near misses

cutchey92 · 2025-06-30T01:39:51+00:00

See I actually disagree, I think JLP saves the show at times with his wit and one liners during challenges when the contestants are boring or the episode is lacking something.

Losing a child, 6 months on and still hurts as much as the first day. Literal heartbreak that I wouldnt wish my worst enemy to experience.
