3 STEP SURFACE PREPARATION GUIDE - BEFORE APPLICATION: 🏡 

Reading the following information below will help you understand how to prepare all surfaces to be painted like a pro.

Whether you’re painting your Interior, Exterior or furniture. The surface preparation remains the same.

To get the best adhesion & results from HQC Paint, you need to get your surface ready in 3 Short Steps.  

It's critical to achieve perfect results.

Step 1):

If your painting on pre-painted surfaces, Ensure your surfaces are dry, & have been cleaned and if there's any rough patches surfaces must be repaired and sanded. 

(If your painting on fresh plaster please apply a base-coat or a primer before painting, thinning this paint with 50% water will allow a thin layer to be used as a base/mist coat) (use primer on wood & metal surfaces.)

Step 2):

Ensure your wall cracks are filled and repaired to minimise risk of damp.

Step 3):

Ensure your wall or surface is fully dried, dust-free, and condensation-free with no flaking paints.

(NOTE: MOULD, Condensation and Damp problems only grow back when the root issue of the problem is not solved. Mainly caused by bad ventilation & water ingress)

Should i use a primer before painting?

Use primer if required and this should be used on most unpainted surfaces. OR If you are going to paint on absorbent surfaces like fresh plaster, bricks, stone and or concrete surfaces, you can make a mist coat by mixing your first coat with 50% water. 

Can i use this on Wood or metal?

(This product is also suitable to be used on wood (wood surfaces must be sanded for a smooth finish) & metal surfaces and Furniture with a good quality primer OR HQC universal primer.)
