Paint Advisors: Mark and Joanne Giddey

Introduction

The aim of this blog is to share the knowledge we have gained over the past 30 years in the paint industry in South Africa. I have been involved on the technical side – mainly formulating paint coatings – while Joanne has been in sales and technical consulting. We both are of the opinion that the man on the street has a right to know more about coatings, and that it is our responsibility, as so-called experts, to impart that knowledge.

We are based in the Western Cape and welcome any enquiries with regard to decorative paints, light industrial coatings, waterproofing and coatings for wine-cellars and the fruit-packing industry. Joanne has, in addition to this, been involved in restoration and coating of historical buildings.

Between us there is a wealth of knowledge, and we have built up a network of contacts in the industry that could be of great assistance to the public. We are eager to share this and help interested parties wherever we can.

Any paint related questions are welcome.
