Mural on villa wall
 
I'm looking for recommendations for someone to seal a mural on my villa wall.

Thank you

Inside or outside? If you know the artist, I would contact them to determine the type of paint used and if they have a recommendation for a sealer. All sealers are not created equal, there are both water based and solvent based types. once you have this information this could be as easy as applying painters tape and paper to protect areas outside of the mural and using a brush, roller, or sprayer to apply the sealer. NOTE: be very careful of the humidity especially if this is on an outside wall as you could actually seal the humidity inside the sealer causing it to become cloudy. One of the local house painters may be able to help but I do not have any recommendations as I tend to do my own work.

On the NextDoor web site there is a lady who sometimes posts pictures of murals she paints. As to a villa wall not sure if she does them.

Here is a post from the woman I mentioned previously, but I do not know if she does wall murals.

Thanks for getting back to me. Apparently the wall was painted years ago and may have been sealed previously. We recently moved in and love the wall and want to preserve it. Any more advice? Thanks

That’s fine till house sells. The neighbors house wall and 1 foot off that wall is NOT something you can do what want with. Had renter across street few years back wanted to borrow my drill, I asked what he was going to do? He drill holes in neighbors house wall to install hanging basket hangers. I said no, you’re not allowed to do anything on neighbors house.

Thank you

Go to Lowe’s or Home Depot and tell them what you’re looking for. They’ll be able to recommend a good sealer.
