Mpumalanga notes on tools & supplies
Most paint shops and builders' suppliers sit in Mbombela's Riverside and Rocky Drift areas and in eMalahleni, Middelburg and Secunda. Smaller towns such as Sabie, Graskop and Lydenburg have hardware stores with a basic range, so painters working on Panorama Route lodges often bring tins, rollers and scaffolding from Mbombela. Industrial coatings, epoxy floor paint and steel primers are easy to find near the mines and plants on the Highveld. Order enough from one batch so the colour matches.
Painting in Mpumalanga
Mpumalanga splits into two painting climates. On the Highveld around eMalahleni, Middelburg, Secunda and Ermelo, frosty dry winters, harsh summer sun and hail storms work on face brick homes, mine and power station housing and big industrial sheds, and fine coal dust can settle on walls and roofs. Down the escarpment in Mbombela, White River and Hazyview, heat and humidity bring mould to south walls and eaves, and thatch, timber and plastered lodges need regular care. Farmhouses, fruit packhouses and holiday homes add their own work. Homeowners, lodge owners, mines and farmers all ask for painters, and most paint and supplies come through the bigger towns.

- Homeowners: a brush set and roller kit to repaint a bedroom or touch up a lounge
