Farm buildings toward Damonsville often get roof paint over metal primer. Textured coatings are popular on boundary walls in newer estates because they hide plaster flaws and wear well.
Painting in Brits
Brits is a farming, factory and mining town between the Magaliesberg and the platinum belt, with Hartbeespoort Dam close by. Its painting work is varied: older plastered and face brick homes in town, factory walls and steel in the industrial area, workers' housing near the mines at Mooinooi, and holiday homes, guesthouses and estates around the dam in Schoemansville. Summer brings heat, strong sun and storms, and red dust drifts in from the bushveld. Damp from the dam and the irrigation lands can cause mould on shaded walls. Homeowners ask for repaints, factories want floors and steel coated, and dam homes need waterproofing and timber care.
Typical exterior paint requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a weather-proof coat for the house walls, boundary wall and garden walls
- Factories, farms and mines: factory, warehouse and farm building walls that face sun, dust and rain
- Shops, offices and restaurants: shopfronts and office walls that stay clean and keep their colour longer
