While Tuscan Coat is designed for walls, it can also be used on your wooden skirtings as long as you use a wood primer beforehand.

Prep and application
If you’re gearing up for a painting project, taking the time to prepare your surfaces properly can make all the difference in achieving a flawless finish.
Before you even think about picking up a paintbrush, have a close look at your walls. If they’re dirty or grimy, it’s crucial to clean them thoroughly and sugar soap is a fantastic product for this task. Follow the instructions on the pack and get scrubbing. It will help to remove grime and dust, creating a smooth surface for your paint to adhere to. After cleaning, wipe down the walls with a cloth and clean water, then allow the area to dry completely.

To ensure a professional finish, it’s best to remove curtain rails, plug points and light switches that have removable covers before you start painting. This prevents unsightly blocks or touch-up marks. Masking off areas you don’t want to paint and along the ceiling where walls meet the ceiling, will give you clean lines and a polished look. Proper preparation is the key to a successful painting project, so take your time and do it right.
