What to know locally in Free State
Bloemfontein has the most paint shops and builders' suppliers, in its industrial areas and along the main business strips, and Welkom, Kroonstad, Sasolburg and Bethlehem have trade counters too. Sasolburg is a good place to find industrial enamels, epoxy floor paint and steel primers. Farmers in the eastern Free State often buy roof paint, primers and rollers in Bethlehem or Harrismith, so measure the roof before driving in to avoid a second trip.
Painting in Free State
The Free State is known for its sandstone. Old public buildings in Bloemfontein, many homes in the eastern towns of Bethlehem, Ficksburg and Clarens and plenty of farmhouses are built with it, and painting near it needs care, because sandstone is usually best left unpainted or treated only with breathable products. Elsewhere the stock is face brick and plastered homes, mining town housing around Welkom and Virginia, and industrial plants in Sasolburg. Winters are cold with hard frost, summers bring storms and hail, and dry spring winds carry dust. Homeowners, landlords near the goldfields, farmers with sheds and silos, and municipalities and schools ask for painters and paint.
Typical paint shops requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a few tins tinted for a lounge or bedroom, with advice on the right primer
- Landlords and sellers: the same neutral colour kept on file for repaints between tenants
- Factories, farms and mines: metal primers and enamels for steel, plus floor paint for workshops
