Preparation
General Surfaces: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and other contaminants.
Surface Repairs: Check for cracks or holes and fill with an appropriate filler. Rub down smooth and remove all dust.
Previously Painted Surfaces: Gloss and oil-painted surfaces must be washed clean and rubbed down to provide a “key.”
Flaky or Powdery Surfaces: These should be primed prior to painting.
Porous Surfaces/New Work (Mist Coat): For the first coat on new plaster or porous surfaces, thin the paint with 10–20% clean water to ensure it soaks in and provides a good bond.
Mixing: Stir the paint well before application. If using more than one batch of the same colour, intermix them first to ensure consistency.
Application
Methods: Apply by brush, pad, roller, or spray.
* Brush: Load the brush generously and avoid over-spreading.
* Roller: Load generously and apply evenly. A deep pile roller should be used on textured surfaces.
Technique: Apply in smooth strokes to achieve an even appearance.
