How to colour match paint for the perfect touch-up
By
A lick of paint is a quick and easy way to refresh and transform your home, but it doesn’t feel that speedy when you’re swamped in rollers and brushes, facing a huge expanse of wall. Wagner paint sprayers and preparation tools take away the heavy lifting and equip D.I.Y.ers with what they need to get the job done.
The Wagner PowerFlow EZ-Roller draws paint directly from the tin to the roller with no drips or messy paint trays, so the job gets done much faster than with a traditional roller. Got wallpaper to strip? The SteamForce wallpaper steamer is a novice-friendly game changer, taking a tough job and making it fast, fatigue-free and fun! Ditch the chemicals – with the power of water, you can tear away wallpaper with ease.
If you want to try a paint sprayer, the obvious entry point is the Wagner W350. This compact tool has an adjustable paint jet (horizontal, vertical and round) for precision and control. Lightweight, easy to clean and able to be used with Wagner Click & Paint attachments, it’s ideal for first-time users on furniture, garage doors and window frames.
To embrace transformation, turn to the Wagner Flexio 590. This sprayer is designed for small- to medium-sized projects, delivering a perfect finish every time. With nine air flow and 12 paint flow settings, the Flexio 590 combines precision with power; its X-Boost turbine is three times more powerful than traditional high-volume, low-pressure sprayers.
This means most coatings can be sprayed undiluted and a standard-sized room can be sprayed in around 12 minutes!
The Wagner Control Pro 150M is built for the serious D.I.Y.er. This is the kit you want if you need to tick off multiple rooms or even a whole home at lightning speed. It comes with a 5.5L paint hopper, 7.6m hose and – best of all – a highly controlled spray thanks to HEA (high efficiency airless) technology, which results in 55 per cent less overspray and minimal paint wastage.
When painting, always wear safety equipment (eye protection and mask) and ensure the work area is well ventilated. Keep all paint and chemicals out of reach of children and pets.
