Bangalore's exterior walls face intense sun, dust and seasonal rain. Use this checklist before you start an exterior painting project.
- Inspect for cracks, algae or fungal growth and treat before painting
- Powerwash or scrape off old, flaking paint
- Apply a high-quality exterior primer suited to the wall material
- Use weatherproof, UV-resistant exterior emulsion (minimum 2 coats)
- Check window sills, grills and sunshades for rust before painting metal parts
- Plan painting during dry weather windows, avoiding the peak monsoon months
Skipping surface preparation is the number one reason exterior paint fails early in Bangalore's climate — our teams spend as much time on prep as on the actual painting.
