Northern Cape notes on tools & supplies
Kimberley and Upington have the widest choice of paint shops and builders' suppliers, and Kathu serves the mining towns of the Kalahari. Springbok, De Aar and Kuruman have hardware stores with a basic range. Since the next shop can be hours away, buy enough filler, primer, rollers and paint for the whole job in one trip, plus a spare tin from the same batch. Waterproofing membranes and epoxy floor paint may need to be ordered ahead.
What gets painted in Northern Cape
The Northern Cape is the largest province and one of the driest, and its sun and temperature swings are hard on paint. Summer days around Upington and Kakamas are very hot, winter nights in De Aar and the Karoo towns can freeze, and walls that expand and contract between the two open hairline cracks. Kimberley has Victorian houses with tin roofs and broekie lace from its diamond rush days, mining towns such as Kathu and Postmasburg have newer homes and red iron ore dust, and Namaqualand towns like Springbok have flat roofed houses in a dry, windy landscape. Distances are long, so homeowners, farmers, mines and municipalities plan painting work carefully.
Typical primers and undercoats requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: bonding liquid on a chalky old outside wall before a fresh top coat
- Factories, farms and mines: rust-inhibiting primers on steel structures and galvanised roof sheeting
- Schools, churches and public buildings: primer on patched and repaired walls in schools and clinics
