How to paint a shed | Expert tips to paint your shed | Easy shed painting guide with Harris

My tips (over 28 years experience as a decorator)... 1) Take the door off and remove the hinges/lock bolts etc; 2) Rub the entire thing down using a stiff brush for loose dirt & bits, then use wire wool in a side to side motion to key it up. If you don't have a steady hand for edging, then use masking tape on any window glass; 3) Spread out a tarpaulin to ensure no paint seeps through to the ground where it will be difficult to clean: 4) If it's previously treated or stained apply at least 2 but preferably 3 coats of Primer; 5) Apply topcoat. For a shed I tend to use external eggshell as it leaves a good, rich finish and can be wiped down later with a warm damp cloth if it gets dirty. Use a brush or a paint pad or a combination of both. Note: Don't roll the paint on because tiny paint spots will be getting into places you can't easily clean, use gentle strokes - don't slap it on. Follow the same procedure for the face of the door; 6) Don't worry about areas you'll never see or be able to get to such as the tight area up against a fence. 7) Re-fix the hinges/lock bolt to the door and then re-hang it, job done.
