PAINTING GUIDE
STEP 01.
WHERE AND WHAT DO YOU WANT TO PAIN?
Color Stories paint has been developed so that it can be painted on almost all surfaces in your home. One and the same paint can be used on walls, ceilings, as well as on primed wood and metal, such as doors, cupboards, furniture, frames and radiators, but not electric radiators. As a result, all the painted surfaces get the same color nuance, mattness and strong surface.
STEP 02.
HOW MUCH PAINT SHOULD YOU USE?
8-10 m 2 per l is calculated. The paint must be applied in a thin layer. We recommend that the surface be painted 2 times, thereby ensuring that the paint covers and that the result is as desired. The paint is very slow to use, so only apply a thin layer.
STEP 03.
ARE YOU READY TO PAIN?
It is a good idea to be well prepared before the painting work begins. It is important that the surfaces to be painted are completely clean, dry, grease-free and free of loose material. If there is moisture/damage/holes etc. where painting is to be done, this must be puttyed/repaired so that it is dry before the painting work begins. Likewise, it is important that rust on iron/radiator etc. is treated before painting starts. Wood and metal must be primed, and the surface of the object must be sanded quite lightly so that the paint binds to the surface.
SHARP EDGES: Use masking tape to get the sharp boundaries between 2 colors. A tip to get a perfectly sharp painting edge: Paint with the existing paint over the tape, so that you lock in the new color penetrating under the tape. When the "lock paint" is dry, painting can be done, and the tape can then be removed. Remove the masking tape as soon as you finish painting - and while the paint is still wet.
Cover floors and other things that must not come into contact with the paint.
STEP 04.
DO YOU HAVE THE RIGHT PAINTING TOOLS?
It gives a better result to use good painting tools when painting. Use tools designed for the item to be painted. It makes the work easier and the result is much nicer. Read more about "painting tools" under accessories.
For easier cleaning, you can advantageously place a large plastic bag in your paint container. This avoids paint in the tub itself.
STEP 05.
MEASURING.
Make sure the paint is well mixed with a stirring stick before starting the painting work. Start by painting at the top and work your way down.
For the finished result, it is important that the paint is applied in a very thin layer, as our paint is very slow to use. Most often, the best result will be achieved by painting just 2 times.
STEP 06.
CLEANING.
After work, the painting tool is cleaned. First wipe with paper, then rinse with lukewarm water and finally wash with soap and water. Then the tool is ready for the next time it needs to be painted.
