Mthatha notes on wall paint & coatings
Bright exterior colours are popular on homes in the hills around Mthatha and Ngcobo, and strong colours can fade faster in full sun, so ask for a good quality exterior acrylic and two full coats. On corrugated roofs a metal primer over rust spots comes first, then roof paint. Walls that stay wet after mist and storms need a mould wash before painting. Paint prices in town can be higher than in East London.
Painting in Mthatha
Mthatha is a hilly town at the centre of a wide rural area, and painting here covers town buildings and homesteads alike. In town there are government offices, schools, clinics, churches and older plastered houses in suburbs such as Northcrest and Southernwood. Outside town, many families build plastered block houses next to traditional round homes with thatch roofs, and these new walls are often painted in bright colours after the plaster has cured. Summer thunderstorms and hill mist keep walls damp for days, so mould and peeling on south facing walls are common. Families building at home, churches, schools, small shop owners and government departments ask for painters, roof paint and supplies most.
The requests we see from Mthatha usually come from:
- Homeowners: recoating a faded tiled or IBR roof before leaks and rust set in
- Schools, churches and public buildings: sealing school, church and clinic roofs, with any asbestos checked first
- Builders and developers: roof paint on new fibre cement or galvanised roofs before handover
