Apply directly without a primer; the paint is rain-ready in just 1 hour. It covers up to 6.5 m² per litre and typically requires 2-3 coats. Application is versatile, using a brush, roller, or sprayer. The paint dries to the touch in 1 hour and can be recoated within the same timeframe. For best results, apply on a warm, dry day (above 10°C) when rain is not expected. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dirt, dust, and grease. Wash with warm, soapy water, rinse, and allow to dry thoroughly. Smooth the surface by lightly sanding; use 180-220 grit sandpaper for new surfaces or 240 grit for previously painted surfaces in good condition. For flaking or cracked paint, sand it off using 120 grit sandpaper. Wear a face mask and clean any dust away. Wipe with a damp cloth. Stir the paint well before application. Apply the first coat with a brush or foam roller and allow 2-4 hours drying time before the second coat. A third coat may be needed for dark colours. The final coat becomes waterproof in 1 hour.
