Pom Michael Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 Anyone know of a good crew of house painters? Guys that actually have their own equipment (spray paint rig) - and most importantly - know why a drop cloth is important to use! Found a new crew for electrical work - they were excellent and not too pricey for the quality of the work.
khunsanuk Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 Hi, One of my wife's cousins does interior (and exterior) painting, but to be honest I have no idea about the quality. Not really seen them at work. Sanuk!
Nervous God Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 Only interior I did with some Thai mates - hard to find in Bangkok.
Pom Michael Posted March 7, 2011 Author Report Posted March 7, 2011 How about any places to rent a spray paint rig?
Dumsoda Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 PM, I've renovated / restored / rebuilt quite a few places over the years.....Really don't think Spray is a good option for inside....unless it's EMPTY....a shell and you are going to lay new floor coverings... Spray is a tad messy.....stick to brush & roller IMHO Just my 2c
Pom Michael Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Posted March 8, 2011 Well, it is empty - have stripped the entire condo out to the bare shell - all furniture, cabling, etc... removed. So that part is ok - but now a days the new spray rigs are pretty good - but also cannot find one. Brush/Rollers would be ok - but again need someone who knows what masking tape/drop cloths are for - I don't want to be the one taking paint off all the wrong places!
Nervous God Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 Make sure they know they have to clean up! I know I know!
Flashermac Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 I've done whatever painting I needed over the years by myself. The Thai painters I've seen in action make the Three Stooges look professional. But I've had Thais look at something I did in amazement and ask ... "Who taught you to do that?" Uh, taught what? You buy the paint, buy the brushes, mix the paint - and paint. p.s. Drop cloth is not in the Thai painters' vocubalry. Neither is masking things you don't want to get painted.
cavanami Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 I taught the former tee rak to paint and she took off with it! She was amazed that it as so easy to do. I had her mask off the trim and put down newspapers for any dripping. When she was done, quite a nice job!!
Redbaron Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 If thai painters are messy with a brush and roller imagine what disaster awaits anyone who lets them near an air compressor and paint spray... Preparation is key.. clean, sand (if necessary) and paint. For best results do it yourself and take your time
