Before you begin.
Use this guide to plan the work. Your chosen product’s instructions take priority for preparation, application, drying and curing.
Clear and protect
Move or cover furniture, protect floors and remove fittings that interfere with the work.
Clean and repair
Use a cleaner suited to the surface. Allow it to dry, then fill and repair defects according to the repair product’s instructions.
Prepare for adhesion
Follow the coating manufacturer’s guidance for sanding or deglossing and removing residue. Keep dust contained with suitable equipment.
Prime where required
Choose a primer for bare areas, stains or difficult surfaces. Check compatibility and the required drying and recoat conditions.
Plan the finish
Confirm colour, sheen, coverage, coat count and recoat timing from the chosen paint’s label or technical sheet.
Bring the right products together.
Check the manufacturer’s technical documents for compatibility, coverage and application conditions. Ask our team if you need help building a complete system.
