GOOD MATCH

Create a colour match using the Coloursmith app. Take a photo using your smartphone camera or use an existing photo from your photo library.

BEST MATCH

The Coloursmith Reader is not a spectro as it accurately captures colour using its own LED light source, and a tri-stimulus XYZ sensor to ensure the closest colour match.

Interior wall paint is applied for the purposes of decoration and protection. A good wall paint needs to be highly durable consider taking off the last point; the implication is that Tradex and paint & prime aren’t ‘good’ as they don’t claim to protect from bacteria, mould and mildew, and Professional doesn’t claim it protects from bacteria.

PAINTING INTERIOR WALLS

1. Surfaces must be clean and dry and free from all surface contamination.

2. Fill in the surface defects with suitable filler, putty or sealant.

3. Sand out any imperfections to obtain a smooth uniform surface.

4. Remove dust with a clean wet cloth.

5. Prime with a suitable primer (see prep section)

• Remove all loose or flaking paint.

• Treat any mould with bleach then rinse with water.

• Wash all surfaces with a sugar soap solution. Rinse with fresh water.

• Surfaces must be clean, dry and free from all surface contamination.

• Fill in the surface defects with suitable filler, putty or sealant.

• When using some bright or dark toned colours, a tinted undercoat may be required.’

PAINTING TIPS

• Start with Ceiling; then Walls and finish with Doors & Trim.

• For cleaner lines use masking tape to mask up areas.

• Cut in first using a brush. Then roll up to the edges using a good quality roller.

• Use a good quality 12mm nap roller to apply the wall paint.

• For best results sand with 240 grit sandpaper in between coats then dust off.

• Avoid exposure to steam for 48 hours.

• Avoid abrasive cleaners for 7 days.

• Wash with “Spray & Wipe” or a mild detergent solution to remove marks.

May need: drop cloth, sandpaper, paint tray, roller handle & sleeve, pole, cutting in brush and personal protective equipment including safety glasses, impervious gloves and overalls.
