I was training hard and looking good at Bondi Beach in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs when the emergency call came through.

An applicator needed my urgent assistance with a Porter's Paints French Wash,

so I sprinted up the hill to Tamarama and dived bravely into the wild wash...

Sam had been given the job of applying French Wash on to a high stairwell wall inside a home that was being renovated. Luckily for Sam,

I am a trained lifesaver from North Bondi, and I had the critical skills needed to save the life of this hand-applied, decorative finish.


At the top of the stairs the bedroom opened out on to a sunny balcony that overlooked Tamarama, and the beach below.

Before beginning any high intensity fine-finishes application it's essential to look amazing.

So, I spent a few hours sunning myself in preperation for the handmade special finish...

Sam and I planned how to apply the French Wash on three levels of stairwell walls.

This wall was six metres high and about five metres wide which presented a range of difficulties and issues with the application technique.


Hot Weather Thinners was added to the French Wash (half the recommended minimum amount of a regular paint).

So, in four litres of French Wash we added about 100 mls of the thinner.

This gave us just enough working time but didn't cause issues with the French Wash sagging and not drying.

We tried this customised blend on a practice wall first,

just to make sure the ratio was correct and to give us all some practice and refine our application technique.

Nacho the Interior Designer informed me that the fabulous French Wash textures created a greater depth and interest within the home and related to the

natural drama of the Sydney coastline. Essentially, we brought the outside in and used nature as a reference point for our creative and textural narrative...


Thanks, Nacho.

This is Sam's hard working team on the first floor, working together and keeping the paint-edge wet.

There were no application issues at this point but we all had to keep moving. Without any natural breaks in the wall we couldn't stop and rest...

Finally we appeared on the ground floor, moving together and creating the essential uniform finish with a lightly ragged technique.

Once on the ground the French Wash was completed beneath the steps.

That hole in the floor leads down to the cellar, so we had to watch our feet and not slip as we finally finished this complicated project.


Excellent work Sam, and Artistic Decor.

We have our Porter's Paints Training Academy upstairs in the Mascot head office for applicators who would like to come along for the

two days of training in the Professional Skills Course. When the course isn't running, I use the space for training and sampling.


This is Ronnie, Hass and Mark from Creative Wall Solutions. They came in for the day to practice with some specific

Porter's products and put together a range of sample boards to show their clients.
