YOUR SURFACE MUST BE CLEAN, DRY AND SOUND BEFORE YOU START ANY PAINTING JOB.

 

SURFACE PREPARATION:

Proper surface preparation is crucial to maximum finish performance.

• Clean surface with degreaser cleaner e.g sugar soap
• Allow surface to dry
• Lightly sand with fine sandpaper
• Remove dust

 

APPLICATION OF PRIMER:

Depending on the surface you are painting your primer may change. For any Hardwoods, gloss varnishes, gloss paints, formica, veneer, MDF, melamine and laminates please follow the below:

• Can be applied with brush, roller or spray
• Apply one coat of Colourtrend Prime 2
• Allow 20 -30 minutes to be touch dry (time depending on drying conditions)
• Recoat in 45-60 minutes (time depending on drying conditions)
• Allow to dry fully

If painting unpainted new hardwood or heavily sanded hardwood Colourtrend Prime1 would be recommended instead of Prime 2 as it has stain blocking properties and will prevent tannin bleed.

Note: if the surface you are painting is not listed above please refer to our ‘Colourtrend Prime’ booklet.

APPLICATION OF TOP COAT:

 

• Choose between Colourtrend Eggshell, Satin, or Gloss in your desired colour. For a tougher finish use Sustain Acrylic Top Coat (wb50)

• Allow to dry (recoat in 6-8 hours depending on drying conditions)
