Painting in Rustenburg

Red dust from the bushveld and mine dumps sticks to walls, especially light ones, and summer heat and strong sun fade paint on west-facing walls. Afternoon storms bring hail in some summers. Mine and contractor housing in Boitekong, Tlhabane and around Phokeng is often painted in batches, landlords repaint flats between tenants, and homeowners in Safari Gardens, Cashan and Protea Park ask for exterior repaints and roof painting. Lodges near the Magaliesberg and businesses along the main roads ask for regular touch-ups.

- Landlords and sellers: primer on filled patches and stains so a quick repaint looks even
