Paint the interior of a Lockwood home in Perth There’s not a lot that’s as satisfying as when you paint your own home. You’re saving yourself some serious money, and you get the great feeling of having done something positive for your family. Yes, it can be a lot of hard work and demand your full concentration, but hey, no one said being an adult was all fun and games.
No matter how much you may love the results, painting your Lockwood custom home is not always easy. There are so many paints and paints colors to choose from that it can be overwhelming. Not to mention choosing between the different surfaces in your residential or commercial property, like textured walls or painted ceilings – they’ve all got their pros and cons.
In this post I’m going to aim at providing you with an overview of what paint colors are available, what surfaces can be painted by people who don’t have any previous experience, and give you a list of tools I recommend using throughout the entire process.
Painting the interior of your Lockwood home is a quick and easy way to refresh your home’s interiors.

Before you start painting, it is important to understand what type of paint can be used on Lockwood homes.
Lockwood homes have a unique wall panel system that allows the interior walls to expand and contract with the weather. This means that we require a specialised water-based paint so that there is no cracking or peeling over time.
The best way to prevent damage or delamination is to use the right paint. To help you with this, we have developed our own proprietary painting system, Lockwood Guard™ Interior Coating System, which ensures a long-lasting and professional finish that is guaranteed for 10 years.
There are many things to consider when deciding whether to paint the walls of your Lockwood home and also when choosing colours, finishes and painting techniques.
The first thing to consider is whether the walls of your Lockwood home are factory painted or whether you will need to paint them yourself. If your home has factory painted walls, then there are some things you need to know before you contemplate painting over the surface.
The walls of a Lockwood Home will have been painted using water based acrylic paint, in a colour from the DuluxAcratex range. A special roller was used, and a special technique has been used which has resulted in a smooth, even finish that is durable and easy to clean.
If you wish to paint over these walls, you will need to use a similar technique and quality paints. However, if any mistakes are made during preparation or application of the paint, it may be difficult to fix them and the result may not look as good as the original factory finish.
If your home was not factory painted, then there are still lots of things to consider before proceeding with painting any interior wall surface.
Painting the interior of your Lockwood home is not only an easy way to refresh or enhance its style but it also has practical benefits such as protecting the timber walls and sealing out unwanted moisture.

If you’re considering painting the interior of your Lockwood home, here are some quick tips to help you achieve a great looking finish.
Before you get started, make sure the surface is clean and free of dust or debris by wiping it down with a damp cloth. You may need to lightly sand any areas that have an existing paint layer.
Lightly sand all areas that will be painted with a fine sandpaper (120 grit) to give the new paint something to adhere to, then wipe them down with a damp cloth to remove any dust.
If you are painting over an oil based paint, use a paint primer first.
Redecorating your Lockwood could involve repainting some or all of the walls, a fresh coat of paint can give you a whole new look that transforms any room.

Painting is one of the easiest and most cost effective ways to update your home. We recommend using an interior water-based acrylic paint for all areas inside your Lockwood.
There are a number of colours available from the Resene range that have been used in previous designs, these colours are named in the colour charts below with their corresponding Muresco code. You can use any Resenecolour however; if you are unsure on what colour to choose we recommend visiting your local ReseneColorShop for a colour consultation.
Before you start painting, remove all furniture and cover carpets or flooring with drop sheets to protect them from paint spills or drips. Remove switch plates and mask off windows and door openings with masking tape before painting. Don’t forget to cover up any electrical outlets as well!
You can choose from a variety of colours and finishes.
So you need to know the right paints to use on your Lockwood home. Again, it all comes down to the interior paint colour. If your home has a lot of neutral colours in the interior, paints like Chestnut Brown, English Oxide and English Clay will work well.
For those who prefer classic blue and white colour combinations, there are some special Lockwood paint colours that can go well with this. You can get Vista Blue, Regal Blue and Seashell Beige from Lockwood. If your Lockwood home is painted in vibrant shades already, then you need to go for a more muted colour palette for painting your walls.
