Painting in Limpopo
Limpopo is hot for much of the year, and that heat shapes most painting jobs. Polokwane and Mokopane sit on a drier plateau with sharp winter mornings, while Tzaneen, Thohoyandou and the Letaba valley are humid and green, with heavy summer rain and mould on shaded walls. Lephalale has power station housing and newer suburbs, and Phalaborwa and Hoedspruit mix mine homes, game lodges and thatch. Many homes are plastered and painted in warm colours, while in rural villages new block houses often wait for their first coat. Farmers with packhouses, schools and churches, lodge owners and homeowners all ask for painters and paint.
Typical primers and undercoats requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: bonding liquid on a chalky old outside wall before a fresh top coat
- Shops, offices and restaurants: a primer to cover strong old corporate colours before a new scheme
- Schools, churches and public buildings: primer on patched and repaired walls in schools and clinics
