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.
- Fill any gaps with the appropriate filler.
Application
We recommend always follow the manufacturer's instructions found on the tin. Stir thoroughly, it is recommended that a small test area is applied before treating the entire surface to ensure compatibility.
- Do not apply in temperatures below 8°C (as recommended by British Standard BS 6150).
- New or bare surfaces should be prepared with a thinned coat of Diamond Matt or appropriate matt emulsion.
Apply 2 coats of Dulux Trade Diamond Matt with a brush, roller, conventional or airless spray.
- Significant colour change may require additional coats.
- For best results cut in one wall at a time, then rolling immediately afterwards, not allowing the cutting-in to dry prior to rolling. Ensure to roll as close to the edge as possible.
- Allow to dry for 4-6 hours been coats
