Most Spraypainting equipment sold and used within Egypt ,outside of the larger manufacturing companys is very low quality.With a fast failure rate when used with un-regulated compressors as if often the case here.Along with the simple fact, most lack inline water and oil filters period.
Few have any ideal or understanding of the full benefits of Hvlp spraying operations and fear the equipment cost.It has become my mission to show the consumer the truth about painting within Egypt.I have meet with a few of the largest paint manufactures within egypt.
Much of the work is done by hand the old fashion way. Brush and roller,I have meet a few very skilled craftsman within egypt that know the trade well.
It's no longer a surprise to me to see paint failures on most anything thats been painted or repainted.Rusted air condictioner supports, sheets of paint and filler falling from buildings, peeling paint,cracks , ect.
Even the building sector, one needs only to drive to any one of the new citys. Which are many then begin to look for the salts leaching through the coatings. Which was caused by a failure to wire brush and flush the cement surface with clean water prior to application of a sealer coat. Followed by a coat of good sealer available from Sipes paints. Which i often use as its really a decent quality and covers well.
I have watched many painters in operation here in Egypt.Then spoke with my fair share of them, about the complete lack of surface cleaning and prep work on interior surfaces.Prior to the application of a suitable sealer.Which should be done prior to the use of a good quality putty or fillers. The normal reply was often you don't need to do that its a waste of money. The simple truth of the matter is, He was either just lazy or has no basic understanding of a paint system. It's just faster for the person performing the paint job.He can get his money and go quicker. This practice will lead to paint failure at the bond line.Also expect to the use more of the costly surface filler.As its harder to close the pores on a un-sealed surface.
Correct cleaning, is the fist step toward a long term lasting paint job.That will help protect the investment you made in your building.
