Tools & supplies in Upington: local notes
Paint shops and hardware stores in Upington stock wall and roof paint, waterproofing membranes, reflective roof coatings, metal primers and enamels, and some deliver to farms along the river. Contractors buy wide rollers and spray tips for large flat roofs. Painting at height in the heat calls for shade and water on site. Speciality coatings may need to be ordered from Kimberley or further, so plan ahead.
Painting in Upington
Upington lies on the Orange River on the edge of the Kalahari, and it is one of the hottest places in the country, with fierce sun almost every day. That heat and UV are hard on paint: dark colours fade, walls crack, and roof paint chalks quickly. Many buildings are plastered and painted in light colours to reflect the sun. Along the river, green vineyards and date farms around Kanoneiland, Keimoes and Kakamas bring work on cellars, packhouses, farm sheds and worker homes. In town, houses, shops, government buildings and lodges need regular repainting. Farm managers, homeowners, lodge owners and builders ask for painters, roof paint and cool, light coatings most.
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
- Factories, farms and mines: metal primers and enamels for steel, plus floor paint for workshops
- Shops, offices and restaurants: a corporate colour matched from a sample for a shop or office fit-out
