Application
Before starting, have your PPE ready, as our paint is oil-based and will not wash off easily with soap and water.
Ensure you have good ventilation to allow vapour to escape; ventilation is also necessary to maintain drying times. Without air movement, the coating won’t dry properly.
Be sure to stir the paint well before use.
Painting Over Existing Paint:
Step 1 - Preparation: Check the suitability of the product for the existing paint. We recommend trying a sample area first.
Step 2 - Clean and Abrade:
- Ensure the existing paint is in good condition prior to painting, then lightly abrade to provide a key for good intercoat adhesion.
- If there is flaking paint, it must be removed before painting.
- Ensure the substrate is dry and clean of any dirt, oil or grease.
Step 3 - Prime: This step is down to personal preference. Depending on the condition of the existing paint or if you are changing a dark colour to a light one, you may want to add one coat of primer.
Step 4 - Topcoat: Once you have completed the previous steps, 12-24 hours after applying the primer, you can add your first coat of topcoat. Wait another 12-24 hours before applying the second coat.
Two coats of topcoat are recommended for optimal coverage.
Painting bare Concrete:
New concrete floors will need time to green. This generally is a period of 3-6 months from when the concrete floor is laid. We say 3-6 months as it depends on the thickness of the concrete and quality; it’s always best to ask the supplier and fitter of the concrete floor how long to wait until painting.
Never pre-seal concrete prior to painting, particularly with latex or PVC sealers, as paint will not adhere properly.
Step 1 - Clean and Prep: Ensure the substrate is dry and clean of any dirt, oil or grease. If there is any moisture in the substrate, it can cause delamination and lead to a loss of adhesion.
Power floated and smooth concrete floors will need abrading prior to painting.
Step 2 -First Coat: Thin the first coat by 20% with T0001 White Spirit to ensure the paint impregnates the concrete, this will act as the primer/sealer.
Step 3 - Top coat: 12-24 hours after applying the first coat, you can apply the second coat of topcoat.
Two coats of topcoat are recommended for optimal coverage.
Primers
No primer is required; We recommend thinning the first coat with White Spirit Thinners by 20% to ensure it impregnates the substrate, this will act as the primer/sealer.
Mixing
Always stir any paint well before use, as our coatings are heavily pigmented and separation can easily occur. You may experience colour float; for example, a green paint can appear blue before mixing. This is one of the reasons why mixing your paint before use is essential.
- Use a mixer on a slow-running drill or a palette knife on smaller cans to mix the paint. An egg whisk, screwdriver, or small stick that doesn’t reach the bottom of the can is insufficient for proper mixing.
- Mixing should take place for 3-5 minutes.
- If you are adding thinners; they will need to be added once stirred.
