Preparation

All surfaces must be sound, clean, suitably dry and free from anything that will interfere with the adhesion of the materials to be applied.

New Wood Surfaces

Timber with oils/extractives must be swabbed with clean methylated spirits, frequently changing the face of the cloths.
At the end of preparation, prime the surface with one coat of Crown Trade Acrylic Primer Undercoat.

Note: On pre-primed MDF, Spot prime bare and filled areas with one coat of Crown Trade Acrylic Primer Undercoat followed by one coat of Crown Trade Acrylic Primer Undercoat all over.

Timber and Timber Based Boards (including MDF)

Treat knots with two thin coats of fresh knotting.
Fill any fixing holes, open joints and shallow surface defects with Sandtex Ready Mixed Filler.
Rub down the surface with a suitable grade of abrasive paper. Remove all dust.

New Metals

Lightly abrade to a bright (not polished) surface – excluding galvanised surfaces.
Wash with hot water and liquid detergent solution to remove oil, grease or any other contaminants, frequently changing the water.
Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Allow to dry.
When dry prime with one coat of Crown Trade Universal Metal Primer, then undercoat with one coat of Crown Trade Acrylic Primer Undercoat.

Galvanised Metal

Bright galvanised surfaces should be pre-treated with a T Wash.
Overall blackening of the surface will confirm satisfactory surface degreasing.
When dry, prime with one coat of Crown Trade Universal Metal Primer.

Non Ferrous Metals

Prime bare metal with one coat of Crown Trade Universal Metal Primer.

Ferrous Metals

Remove all millscale and rust back to clean bright metal. Remove all residues.
Prime within the working day with one coat of Crown Trade Universal Metal Primer.

Application

Always test a small area of the surface to be painted to ensure you are happy with the finished results

Stir well before and during use.
Apply 2 coats by brush or roller to an even thickness (use good quality tools – synthetic brush or medium micro fibre pile roller). For airless spray, dilution may be required. For further information, follow the spray manufacturer’s guidelines. Maintain a wet edge.
To assist application on porous substrates, the surface may be dampened slightly.
On timber, lay off in the direction of the grain.
Avoid excessive de-nibbing in-between coats.
Always intermix packs for colour consistency. Please check for colour accuracy prior to application. Crown Paints or Next Day Paint is not liable for decorating costs caused as a result of an incorrect colour being applied.

NOTE: Certain colours may require additional coats to give complete obliteration.

Always follow manufacturer's instructions found on the tin

Between maintenance redecoration, surfaces may be washed with a warm water and liquid detergent solution to remove surface dirt

Store upright and secure. Store in secure, dry conditions inaccessible to children or animals. Containers should be kept closed during storage. Do not store below 5ºC or above 40ºC.
