PAINTING TIPS


Ideal painting times for exteriors:

Do not paint before, during or after rain.

Surfaces must always be dry.

Winter: Do not paint below 5 degrees C.

Paint film must be dry before overnight dew deposits.

Do not paint in the morning until dew has evaporated.

Dew deposits on paint that has not properly cured will cause, at best, snail trailing (water soluble materials being leeched out of the uncured paint film), and at worst, will damage the paint film, resulting in the necessity to repaint that area.

The importance of surface preparation:

Even the best paint in the world applied to a surface that has not been properly prepared, will result in product failure. Follow all surface preparation instructions to the letter for optimum results.

The importance of following application instructions:

All Paintcor products have been designed to be applied in a specific manner. Failure to apply products as such will result in a sub-standard finish and will annul any product guarantee.
