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.
