Surface preparation before painting

The surface to be painted must be carefully cleaned from peeling material, dirt and dust.
Sandpaper the surfaces previously painted with enamel or oil-bound paint until they are matt. If the surface is very dirty or greasy, wash it with a 3–5% solution of soda, rinse with water and dry. Fill cracks and dents with suitable putty (Fine Filler, Face Filler, etc.). Treat porous surfaces and surfaces that give up dust with the Aquastop moisture barrier or Tiefgrund.

Application

Stir the paint thoroughly before application. The paint can be diluted with water in the amount of up to 5% of its volume for the application of the first coat. Apply 2 coats with a roller or spray gun at the temperature between 10 °C and 25 °C and relative humidity not exceeding 80%.
In case the paint job is carried out in adverse conditions (draughts, the use of heating appliances, high temperature or low air humidity), we recommend using the Time+ slow-dry agent in the amount of up to 3% of the paint volume (mix 0.33 L of Time+ into 9.5 L of paint).

Care for the painted surface

Treat the surface with care for 4 weeks after painting until its hardness and wash resistance have reached their peak levels. We recommend using water and neutral or medium alkaline detergents (pH below 9).
Do not use organic solvents and hard scrubbing brushes or sponges. Wipe the surface dry after wet cleaning. Use Biotol E and Biotol Spray to remove mould.
Use soft sponges and cloths for cleaning.
If necessary, the surface can be lightly wiped with a soft sponge or cloth approximately 48 hours after paint application.

Roller (pile length: 10-14 mm), airless spray gun (nozzle: 0.021–0.027'').
