Pre-painted surfaces in good condition, in a white or off white colour, do not need a primer coat. Lightly sand any satin or glossy painted surfaces to a flat finish before painting. Clean and dust off walls. Previously painted walls in mid tone and dark colours, apply 1 or 2 coats Porter’s Prepare & Prime, allow 2 hours dry time before overcoating. Previously painted surfaces with loose, peeling or flaking paint must be made sound by scraping off loose paint. Fill nail holes and cracks with suitable filler, sand and dust off. Spot prime all joints and repaired areas with Porter’s Prepare & Prime, allow 2 hours dry time before overcoating. On new unpainted timber or unpainted plasterboard sheeting, sand smooth and dust down, and apply 1 or 2 coats Porter’s Prepare & Prime. Allow 2 hours dry time before overcoating. On bare masonry surfaces such as, render or brick, spot prime all repaired areas with Porter’s Limeproof Undercoat Sealer, then apply 1 coat of same to entire area by brush, medium nap roller or spray. Touch dry in 1 hour. Allow 6 hours dry time before re-coating or over-coating.

Do not apply paint if Relative Humidity is above 85% or temperature is within 3°C of Dew Point. Stir thoroughly prior to use. Apply two to three coats by brush or spray. When painting broad wall areas using a brush, best results are achieved by laying off or reworking paint as applied (usually in a vertical direction) to achieve a smoother effect. Spraying will achieve a finer smoother effect than brushing. Touch dry in 1 hour. Allow minimum 4 hours dry time between coats. Allow total 6 hours dry time.
