Wall Preparation Before Painting in Dubai
Paint shows every dent, crack and old patch underneath it, especially in Dubai's bright light. Proper preparation, with putty, sanding, sealing and priming, is what turns an average paint job into a smooth, even finish that lasts.

Why Preparation Matters in Dubai
Strong sunlight through large windows rakes across walls and shows every bump. Light from the side is the best test, so we inspect with a work light held flat to the wall before we fill.
Unprimed putty absorbs paint differently from the rest of the wall, which leaves dull patches called flashing. Spot-priming every repair avoids it.
For bigger damage, see drywall repair. For skim coating, see skim coating, and for painting afterwards, room painting.
