First thing’s first, clean your surface.

Step 2

Mask up.

Using masking tape, ensure that you cover any area that you do not wish to paint like glass, letterboxes etc.

Additionally, you may wish to remove features such as your door number or window furniture as well.

Step 3

All you have to do is paint!

With no primer needed, just grab your paintbrush and go. Start from the top, painting the edges near the glass and then work your way outwards towards the bottom half.
