SKIM COATING - the foundation for any good paint job

You really cannot have a good paint job unless the paint is applied to a smooth defect free surface.

That is why skim coating is so important - and you cannot have a good paint job without having skim coated walls.

[NOTE - these images are NOT from jobs performed by Muwallad Interiors - these are sample images showing the skim coat process on jobs performed by others]

This is why Muwallad Interiors recommends skim coating of all walls and ceilings prior to painting.

If you wish, we are more than happy to paint your walls without skim coating them first - but we really do recommend you have your interior surfaces skim coated prior to painting.
