And therefore, it is acceptable to be demanding and particular when selecting the colour of your interior wall paint.

Here, we will do our best to answer those top frequently asked questions on google about house painting.

How do you plan a house for painting?
Painting a house depends upon a painting expert but MDI Painting Services prefer the following method:
Step 1: Pressure Wash Walls– Before painting, remove all kinds of dirt and dust laying on the walls with a pressure washer.
Step 2: Repair Damaged Surfaces– Repair damaged surfaces such as wood, metal, siding, and masonry will look awesome when the painting is completed.
Step 3: Remove Loose Paint– Remove all hanging paints or clothes along with hangers, cliffs, chipped paint, steel nails and hooks.
Step 4: Caulk Trim Empty Spaces– Fill those gaps or empty spaces in the house and trim windows and doors using a caulk gun.
Step 5: Prime Stains– Primers are sustainable whether it’s plastic, wood, and metal. They can increase the life of the paint and ensure its adhesion to the surface.
Note: If you want actual wood grain then prime is not a suitable choice to use wood stain treatment.
What is the Best tip for Exterior Painting?
Well, it depends upon the weather condition of the area, the quality and combination of colours. But the secret tip is when you are changing exterior colour from light to dark or dark to light, begin with a coat of primer to ensure coverage. Also, apply one or two coats of eggshell exterior paint to the whole house.
Which Colour is Good for the Exterior or Outside House?
No doubt white colour is the symbol of peace, butter yellow, cool mint green, and classy Turquoise, but Grays are one of the most popular outside or exterior house colours. All the greys shade look awesome. Both their lighter and dark shades are trending and have different appeals to the eyes.
But the light grey shade gives you a very modern paint look.
Which Colour is Best for Kitchen?
Various colours look fit on the kitchen walls but grey, blue, red, green, yellow and white are more famous. MDI Interior Painting experts think that the above all can create warm feelings but red is mostly believed to stimulate the appetite and are the best option for kitchens. Your preference may differ.
How Often Should You Paint Your House Exterior?
This question has a direct relation to the quality of your paint. Painting experts suggest the exterior should be painted every 5 to 10 years. Also, the wood surface should be painted every 3 to 7 years and the Aluminum siding after every 5 years.
Do I Need To Prime Before Painting?
The sweet and simple answer is “yes”. A primer prepares surfaces for painting, seals stains, and allows the paint to adhere well, so you get a smooth and clean finish.
Can I Paint My House?
Without taking a single breath, “Yes”!! if you are comfortable with your own painting skills, have the time to commit to the task, and are in good health, you can save thousands of dollars by painting the exterior of your home yourself.
IF not confident, it’s ok. Most people don’t prefer to paint on their own. So, in this case, you can call MDI Painting Services East Melbourne for both residential and commercial painting.
What is the Most Popular Colour for a Painting in Australia?
New researches say that Blue is Australia’s favourite colour. And also, of course, the world’s most popular colour. Why? There is no such logical reasoning but it is actually the usage of colour and people like it and makes it the most popular.
What types of Environmentally friendly paint options do You Offer?

What are the Different Kinds of Paint Finishes?
Flat Finish, Satin Finish, and Gloss Finish are the major three kinds of paint finishes. A flat finish is also known as a matte finish, Satin finish is known by two different names an eggshell finish or a low-lustre finish, and a gloss finish.
Can MDI Painting Services Offer Advice on How to Choose a Colour?
MDI Painting Services experts recommend these three environmental factors must be considered when choosing a paint colour: lighting, architecture, and room decor. Paint colours that provide balance and unity to space should consider all three elements.
What is Faux Finish?
The technique consists of decorative painting. Faux is a French word for false. Paint can be used to replicate materials like marble and wood. A variety of decorative paint finishes are used for walls and furniture, including marbleizing, wood graining, Venetian plaster, colour washes, streaking, and rag painting.
What is Included in Interior Painting?
It is up to you, do you prefer a light shade or dark shade for your interior design painting. Mostly MDI Painting Services observe our clients, their focus is on the shade or finish of wall paints. These are important steps in interior painting:
Make a plan, clean the interior, cover all the interior with a plastic sheet, choose colour, select your tools and materials for the interior, prep the walls, determine how much paint do you need and then mix it well, apply painting techniques and make it available ventilation to dry the paint on time.
Which Type of Paint is Perfect for Interior Walls?
We recommend the five most suitable types of paints for the design of your interior walls:
Metallic Paint– consists of tiny metal particles like steel, copper, and bronze. Metallic paint is best for accent walls, and also perfect matching for wooden and metal surfaces too. Your room will give a luxurious and opulent look.
Distemper Paint– It is also called whitewash or cement paint. You don’t need a primer for this and does not crack easily in the sunlight. It lasts longer compared to other types of paint. Metallic paint is ideal for the terrace and balcony.
Textured Paint– It can only be done by a professional painter. Textured paint can create special effects on your walls such as stucco, marble, popcorn texture etc. It can also hide minor scratches on the walls.
Enamel Paint– It is known for its water-resistant, heat and stain. It can protect your walls from tough conditions. Having a hard and opaque finish is considered best for commercial kitchens. It is not only ideal for interior but also exterior painting.
Emulsion Paint– it is the most suitable and perfect choice for interior wall painting colour. Its qualities are water-based paint, quick-drying and having a low level of VOCs which is a good omen for our environment.
Which Colour is Best for Kitchen Interior?
Colours such as red, yellow, blue, white, grey and green are best for kitchen interior walls. They all can help in creating a warmer and welcoming space. However, red is considered an excellent option for the kitchen as it can stimulate the appetite.
Any difference between Pressure Washing and Power Washing?
The only difference between them is the heat. The pressure washer uses normal water while the power washer jet uses hot water. MDI Painting Services also offers professional pressure washing services both for residential and commercial areas.
How to Maintain Old Decking?
You can use a pump sprayer roller or a brush to apply to restore. You can use a sprayer to cover a larger area quickly, which will make my job much easier, especially along the deck rail.
How to Remove Old stained Timber and Restore with New One?
Keep in mind it is not always necessary to apply a new coat before the old stained timber. Apply this when are going to apply the same colour and brand to the wood then you don’t need to strip the old stained timber. Always use a quality deck cleaner.
