Priming is the process prior to painting. This product is used to prepare a surface for subsequent painting. A single coat on the wall is sufficient and needs a minimum drying time of about 6 hours.
HOW DO I PREPARE MY WALLS BEFORE USING Croma?
Croma PAINTS ARE PERFECT FOR MINERAL SURFACES: PLASTER, CEMENT, BRICK, ADOBE, ETC…. ON THESE SURFACES NO PRIMING OR PREPARATION IS NECESSARY.
HOWEVER, ON WALLS ALREADY PAINTED WITH ANOTHER TYPE OF NON-MINERAL PAINT, PLASTERBOARD, WOOD OR AGED WALLS, A CORRECT PREPARATION WITH PRIMER IS NECESSARY.
WHAT TO DO IF THE WALL IS ALREADY PAINTED OR MADE OF PLASTERBOARD?
STEP 01:
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE WALLS ARE WELL PREPARED AS Croma DOES NOT MASK PLASTERBOARD JOINTS OR PLASTER OF ANY KIND.
IF THE WALL IS PREVIOUSLY PAINTED IN DARK COLOURS, WE WOULD HAVE TO PAINT IT WHITE BEFOREHAND.
IN SHORT, TO PAINT WITH Croma WE NEED A WHITE, CLEAN AND HOMOGENEOUS SURFACE. THEN WE RECOMMEND TO USE THE PRIMER ON PLASTERBOARD WALLS.
STEP 2:
APPLY A COAT OF OUR PRIMER. IT MUST BE APPLIED VERY THINLY, 1 LITRE FOR 10 SQUARE METRES. APPLY TO THE SURFACE, CLEAN AND DRY.
STEP 3:
ONCE THE WALLS ARE PREPARED AND PRIMED, APPLY Croma IN THE RECOMMENDED PROPORTION, ALWAYS USING A BRUSH AND FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS.
