How to paint skirting boards

Before you begin

What colour should I paint my skirting boards?

The first decision you will need to make is the which colour to paint your skirting boards.

Darker skirting boards tend to look more modern and contemporary and dark colours easily hide any marks and dust and lighter skirting boards will make the room feel bigger. Whereas lighter colours can provide colour and brighten a natural dark room whilst providing a crisp and airy effect effect

Useful tip: We advise painting your metal garage door on a dry day with temperatures above 10 degrees. This ensures the paint will dry correctly and your endeavour won't be wasted. If you’re painting a brand new garage door, it may already have a powder or primer coat so you can skip ahead to step five.

Step 1. Remove old paint Lay down a dust sheet and put on a mask and goggles to protect yourself from dust. To help you get the best finish on your door, you need to get rid of blistering, flaking or bubbling paint. Use a flat scraper to remove the old paint so the surface is smooth. For the rest of the door, use a piece of 180 grit sandpaper and quickly rub down the surface. Open the door and do the same to the edges.
