HOW TO PAINT A CIRCLE
STEP 1 To get started, clean your walls and treat any patches of mould. Weathershield Multi-Surface Fungicidal Wash is perfect for this job.
STEP 2 Use Weathershield Smooth Masonry as your base paint to protect your wall against all elements of Irish weather. STEP 4 Next fill your circle with your chosen colour, it can be bright and contrasting, or more muted. Carraig Grey with Achill White works beautifully.

STEP 3 Now you will need to create a circle on your wall. It’s easy - just cut a string to the length of half your circle, pin it to the wall at the centre of your circle and draw your line. Use chalk to draw the circle, especially on uneven walls.
