SPECIFICATIONS:
New work: Prepare surfaces (refer appropriate surface data sheet) Apply 1 coat Crown Solo Hi-Matt followed by 2 coats Crown Smooth Velvet
Previously painted surfaces – sound condition: Prepare surface. Apply two coats Crown Smooth Velvet. One full coat may be sufficient when re-coating a sound surface of the same shade.
Previously painted surfaces – unsound condition: Remove all loose and flaking material down to a firm base, where necessary removing all previous decorations down to the original building fabric. (Refer surface preparation data sheet sp1). Apply 1 coat Crown Penetrating Primer. Apply a minimum of 2 coats Crown Smooth Velvet.
Old and loosely bound walls; lime washed cement painted distempered etc.: In those cases where the condition of the walls has reached an advanced stage of deterioration, the application of Crown Smooth Velvet, (or any other good quality paint) is not recommended. This also applies when overcoating whitewash/ lime wash or similar forms of cheap decoration and in those cases where the plaster or building fabric is crumbling. Unless the wall can be re-plastered, temporary redecoration with a similar low grade material should be considered. This recommendation is especially appropriate in coastal regions.
