Welkom notes on wall paint & coatings
Plain, light exterior colours are common on Welkom's rows of houses, and many landlords keep one colour across all their properties to make touch ups easier. Red dust stains light walls, so a low sheen exterior acrylic that wipes clean helps. Roof paint for concrete tiles comes in standard colours. On steel at mine and industrial sites, ask about rust primers and enamel.
Painting in Welkom
Welkom is a planned gold mining town, built in the decades after gold was found in the area, and much of its housing was put up for mine staff: rows of similar face brick and plastered houses with tiled or corrugated roofs, mine hostels and flats. As some mines have closed, many of these homes have passed to new owners and landlords who want them repainted and repaired. Red dust from mine dumps settles on walls and roofs, and the Highveld brings summer hail and frosty winters. Landlords, homeowners buying former mine houses, businesses in the CBD, schools and remaining mine operations ask for painters, roof paint and supplies most.
Who asks for interior paint around Welkom, most often first:
- Homeowners: washable walls in the lounge, bedrooms and kitchen, with PVA on the ceilings
- Landlords and sellers: a durable colour that is easy to touch up and survives tenants and inspections
- Factories, farms and mines: washable acrylic for canteens, offices, change rooms and ablutions in factories
