Surface preparation
Previously painted surface

Previously Painted Surfaces
All surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned and free of all loose dirt, dust, grease, loose or flaking paint, and loose surface plaster. In areas where mould or mildew are present, use a household bleach solution. Dilute 1 part bleach with 3 parts clean water. Wear gloves and goggles. Use a scouring pad wet with bleach solution to lightly abrade the surface. Leave the bleach solution on the surface for 15 minutes, then thoroughly remove by washing down with clean water and wipe dry. In very severe cases, repeat this action to remove all mould. Scrape and sand down any loose, peeling and flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes with a suitable filler. Sand gloss and semi gloss finishes to a dull flat finish to allow a sound surface before top coating. Clean with a damp cloth, then apply one coat of Dulux 1 Step Acrylic Primer Sealer Undercoat to any areas which have been repaired or which have an uneven gloss level. Areas where paint has pealed, seal with Dulux Sealer Binder.

Bare Paperfaced Wallboard, Cement, Brick
Brush down to remove any surface dust. Apply one coat of Dulux 1 Step Acrylic Primer Sealer Undercoat.

Bare Interior Timber
Sand smooth. Dust off. Apply one coat of Dulux 1 Step Acrylic Primer Sealer Undercoat.

Bare Set Plaster, Fibrous Plaster, Plasterglass
Brush down to remove any surface dust. Apply one coat of Dulux 1 Step Oil Based Primer Sealer Undercoat or Dulux Sealer Binder.

Metal Surfaces: Thoroughly degrease and apply Dulux All Metal Primer.

How to apply
Brush, Roller

Stir well with a broad flat paddle using an up and down scooping action. Apply two coats of Dulux Theatre Black using a good quality brush to cut in and a short nap roller in good condition for rolling. Allow a minimum of two hours dry time between coats. Under hot conditions application can be eased by thinning with up to 50ml of water per litre. For spraying thin with 10% water.

How to dispose responsibly
Unused paint
Unused paint: Do not pour leftover paint down the drain. Unwanted paint should be brushed out on newspaper and allowed to dry, and then disposed of via domestic waste collections. Empty paint containers: Leave empty paint containers open in a well-ventilated area to dry out. When dry, recycle the container via steel can recycling programs. Disposal of empty paint containers via domestic recycling programs may differ between local authorities. Check with your local council first. Do not reuse container unless thoroughly decontaminated.
