What to know locally in Mbombela
Paint shops in the CBD, Riverside and Rocky Drift stock fungicidal washes, mould-resistant primers and waterproofing membranes, and the waterproofing shelves empty quickly before the rains. Building contractors in Karino and White River buy plaster primer, PVA and acrylics in bulk. Timber sealers and varnish for lodge decks and veranda posts are steady sellers. Store tins out of the summer heat, since hot paint skins and dries too fast.
Painting in Mbombela

Mould and mildew grow on shaded walls and under eaves, damp creeps into north and south faces after the rains, and dark colours fade quickly in the heat.
