To get the best results, ensure surfaces to be painted are sound, clean, dry and free from all defective material such as dirt and grime.
- Remove any loose or defective paint with a paint scraper by sanding or using a dedicated paint stripper, special precautions should be taken during preparation of pre-1960s paint surfaces as they may contain harmful amounts of lead
- Remove any pre-existing mould and mildew with an appropriate cleaner
- Where possible, wash the surface to remove dirt, grime and dust, rinse and allow the surface to dry thoroughly
- Fill any surface defects with an appropriate filler, sand smooth and remove dust with a lint-free cloth
- Where necessary, treat any knots with a suitable knotting solution
- Seal any bare, powdery or heavily stained surfaces with Dulux Trade Stain Block Primer
Always do a test area before starting any project to test compatibility with the substrate and follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.
Please note: For Health & Safety reasons spray application is not recommended when using fungicidal paints.
- Stir thoroughly before and during use, making sure to include pigment gathered in the top and bottom creases of the tin
- Apply full, flowing coats with a high-quality synthetic bristle brush or microfibre roller
- On previously painted surfaces in a similar colour, 1 coat is usually sufficient
- Allow 4-6 hours to dry thoroughly
- For a drastic colour change, further coats may be required
Painted surfaces can be gently wiped down with a damp lint-free cloth to remove surface scuffs and marks.
When it's time for a refresh, apply a fresh coat of Dulux Trade Fungicidal Eggshell using the Preparation and Application steps above.
