Preparation
For best results, ensure surfaces to be painted are sound, clean, dry. It is particularly important that new surfaces are completely dry before you start painting.
- Remove all loose and defective paint. Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960s paint surfaces over wood and metal as they may contain harmful lead.
- Where necessary, wash the surface, rinse with clean water and allow to dry.
- Seal surfaces that remain powdery after thorough preparation with an appropriate .
- Where necessary, rub down and then wipe off with a damp, lint free cloth to avoid dust. Any surface defects should be filled.
Application
Stir thoroughly before application and perform a test patch to ensure you are happy with the finished results.
- Stir thoroughly, seal new or bare surfaces with up to one part clean water to five parts paint.
- Apply two full coats. One coat may be enough on previously painted surfaces in good condition where similar colours are used
Brush and roller
- Always start at the edges with a good quality brush and fill the remaining space using a roller
Conventional spray
- If you require thinning add up to 1 part clean water to 2.5 parts paint
Airless spray application
- If thinning required add up to 1 part clean water to 5 parts paint
- A typical set up for airless spray application would be a minimum working pressure on paint of 133 bars (2000 lb/sq in) with a spray tip size of 0.38mm (15 thou) and a spray tip angle of 65°
Note: Always follow the manufacturer's instructions
