Planning Your Project
Good artists get their inspiration from great artists, so let yourself be inspired by the experts of… Instagram. Or Pinterest. Just be sure to aim high; that’s what the FOMU-fighting spirit is all about. Pick up our colour charts and sample pots at your local Bunnings, if you want to get a little more hands-on.
Find your paint colour
You’ve found a colour. It’s a good colour. It might even be a great colour. But it’s not the perfect colour. That’s where our Colouriser comes in.
How much paint do you need?
Math: the hardest part of painting. How much paint is too much, or too little? Not to worry, we’ll help you fight math too.
Your shopping list
Save yourself that second, or third, trip to Bunnings and make sure you get everything you need in one go.
Find your closest store
Now that you know what you need, how much you need of it and what you’ve almost forgotten, it’s time for you to fight the FOMU.

Prepping
Deep breaths — this is still the easy part. Of course, it’ll all be easy if the preparation’s been done right. But don’t worry, we’ll help you make sure it is.
6 Steps for Perfect Prep
Step 1
Scrape off loose and flaking paint.
Step 2
Sand Gloss and Semi-gloss surfaces to a matt finish.
Step 3
Wash surface down with Selleys® Sugar Soap, and rinse clean. Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry and free from dust, oils and grease.
Step 4
Fill nail holes, cracks, etc., with suitable filler.
Step 5
Sand smooth patched areas and dust down.
Step 6
Mask trims, window and door frames ready for paint.
Handy hint: Remove masking tape immediately after painting to avoid peeling off any paint.
