Surface Preparation

Correct preparation is essential for achieving a neat and consistent decorative finish.

Before painting:

1. Ensure the surface is clean, sound and suitably dry.
2. Remove dirt, dust and other contaminants.
3. Remove loose, peeling or flaking coatings.
4. Repair cracks, holes and surface imperfections.
5. Treat mould or biological growth appropriately where present.
6. Sand surfaces where required.
7. Remove sanding dust thoroughly.
8. Apply an appropriate primer or sealer where necessary.
9. Ensure previous coatings are sound and compatible.

Poor surface preparation may negatively affect adhesion, coverage and the final appearance.

Application Recommendations

Stir the paint thoroughly before use and during application where required. Apply using a suitable method recommended by Duram for the specific Habitat product and substrate.

Follow the manufacturer’s current instructions regarding:

• Surface preparation
• Primer or sealer requirements
• Number of coats
• Application method
• Thinning requirements
• Drying and recoating times

Coverage

Actual paint coverage will depend on surface porosity, surface texture, existing wall colour, previous coatings, preparation, application method and the number of coats required.

Because the exact pack size and technical specifications were not supplied, refer to the information printed on the specific Duram Habitat container when calculating the quantity required.

Colour Consistency

For larger projects, purchase sufficient paint to complete continuous wall areas where possible.

Before application, verify that all containers are the correct 30 Shy Elephant colour. Where recommended, boxing paint from multiple containers can help maintain greater colour consistency across larger surfaces.

Maintain painted surfaces according to Duram’s recommendations for the specific Habitat coating.

Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners or aggressive cleaning methods unless approved for the particular paint finish. Attend to damaged areas when necessary to help maintain a neat overall appearance.
