Mahikeng notes on wall paint & coatings
Strong sun in Mahikeng and Mmabatho fades dark colours, so many owners choose warm light shades and a UV resistant exterior acrylic. Textured paint is popular on new plaster in Lomanyaneng because it hides small cracks and trowel marks. For flat roofs on offices and homes, a waterproof roof coating with a fibre membrane is common, laid with falls to the drains. Ask for paint prices per tin and per m².
What gets painted in Mahikeng
Mahikeng is the capital of the North West, and a good share of painting work here comes from government buildings, offices, schools, clinics and the university campus in Mmabatho. Around them are older town houses near the historic centre, 1980s homes and flats in Mmabatho, and growing areas of RDP houses and self built homes in Montshiwa and Lomanyaneng. The climate is hot and dry for much of the year, with strong sun that fades colour and dries paint fast, and summer thunderstorms with some hail. Dust settles on walls and roofs. Government departments, contractors on public tenders, landlords and families extending their homes ask for painters and paint most.
The requests we see from Mahikeng usually come from:
- Schools, churches and public buildings: calm, durable colours for classrooms, wards and halls, chosen to hide wear
- Homeowners: choosing outside and inside colours, with sample patches tested before buying tins
- Builders and developers: show house colours and a standard scheme repeated across a development
