What gets painted in North West
North West is a province of platinum mining towns, maize and cattle farms and weekend homes around Hartbeespoort Dam. Rustenburg, Brits and Klerksdorp have large numbers of face brick homes, mine housing and steel sheds, and red dust from mining and dry winters stains light coloured walls. Potchefstroom has older houses and university buildings, Mahikeng has government offices and long established neighbourhoods, and farms across the west have corrugated roofs, silos and outbuildings that rust if they are left. Hot summers, strong sun and hail storms are hard on paint, and cold winter nights bring frost. Homeowners, farmers, mines and landlords renting to mine workers are the main clients.
Typical painting supplies requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: tape, drop sheets and filler to prepare a bedroom before repainting
- Landlords and sellers: filler, sugar soap and mould wash to clean up a unit between tenants
- Factories, farms and mines: respirators, trestles and heavy drop sheets for painting in a factory
