DIY: Can I Paint My Roller Shutter By Myself?

Roller shutters are considered one of the best investments by home, industry, or shop owners, as they help protect your place from theft-related issues, dust particles, and many more such factors.

But, in return, what do we offer them?

Well, the answer is nothing. Most people don’t offer proper maintenance to their Industrial Roller shutters in London, nor will they paint their roller shutters.

If you can’t opt for maintenance, ensure that you are at least painting your roller shutter for its long life.

Can I paint my roller shutter by myself?

Tips for painting your roller shutter 

Make sure you prepare yourself before starting the painting process of your roller shutter. Here is the list of tips you need to keep in mind that will help you prepare for it:

  • With the help of a pressure washer, you can get rid of dark stains and substantial mud collections as well.
  • Just imagine you are planning to paint your roller shutter and visit the shop and buy paint that is not usable on roller shutters or steel. Make sure to avoid making such a mistake, as you need to ask for spray paints specifically for stainless steel if you have a stainless steel-based roller shutter.

If you have a wooden or any material-based roller shutter, you can buy the spray paint accordingly.

  • Suppose you want the paint to stay on your roller shutter forever; then, in such a case, you should be doing 3 to 4 sprays all over the roller shutter. Generally, people go for two layers of paint while painting by themselves.
  • Always paint your roller shutter on a warm day when the sun is fully available. In this way, you would be able to get the paint dried as soon as possible.
  • You can use plastic sheets all around the roller shutter, with the help of which you can easily protect other surfaces from the spray paint.
