Application Guide
Surface Preparation
Previously painted surfaces
Surfaces must be sanded to remove loose, peeling, flaking or chalky paint. Fill any cracks or holes with a suitable filler. Sand all gloss and semi gloss surfaces to a dull finish and wipe down with a damp cloth to remove surface dust. Apply one coat of Dulux Professional Acrylic Sealer Undercoat or Dulux Professional Total Prep Acrylic to any areas that have been repaired or which have an uneven gloss level.
Bare paperfaced plasterboard
Apply one coat of Dulux Professional Acrylic Sealer Undercoat or Dulux Professional Total Prep Acrylic.
Bare set plaster, fibrous plaster, plasterglass
Apply one coat of Dulux Professional Oil Based Primer Sealer Undercoat. For best results on bare set plaster and powdery surfaces apply one coat of an appropriate sealer binder.
Application Procedure and Equipment
Stir contents thoroughly before and during use with a broad flat stirrer, using an upward lifting action. Apply two coats of Dulux Professional Ceiling Flat Premium Acrylic ensuring that the first coat is completely dry before applying the second.
Brush/Roller
For best results, use a 50-63 mm, high quality brush and 11-18mm, synthetic or dacron roller. Rinse brush or roller in water before starting and use while still slightly damp. Apply full even coats direct from the container. Under hot conditions or on very absorbent surfaces, up to 100ml clean water may be added per litre to assist application.
Airless Spray
Suitable for application by all standard spray equipment. If necessary, thin with up to 100ml per litre of water to aid atomisation.

However, we are not responsible for the colour accuracy of the device you are viewing our swatches on. These variations arise due to different computer monitors and devices (make, model and technology, as well as resolution, contrast and brightness control settings) in much the same way a scan will differ from an original image and a colour photocopy. Furthermore, coatings can exhibit variation in perceived colour depending on gloss level and application method. If you require a very specific colour match, please make your selection via actual swatches and colour boards available at our showroom.
