What paint do you use?

Do I need to prepare the wall?
If the wall is in poor condition the cracks will need to be fixed, holes filled and a primer and base coat applied.
For a new wall, a primer and base coat should be painted on the wall before the mural work begins. If it is an existing wall and the wall is in good condition, no preparation is required.
Can you prepare the wall?

Can you paint on boards that can then be installed on location?

Boards are 120x180cm and can be cut to size or mounted side by side. The boards are compressed hardwood and last outdoor for approx 20 years.
