Exterior Primer:

  • The wall surface is thoroughly scrapped with sand paper before painting.
  • For application of painting use sprayer or hard brushes for exterior paint application.

First Coat & Second Coat :

  • First, one stroke of brush or roller starting from downwards is applied and then another from bottom upwards over the first one.
  • Likewise one stroke from right and other from the left over the left, before the first one dries. By doing this brush marks is avoided.

Crack fill :

  • After the application of first coat, the cracks and holes appeared on wall surface are filled with crack fill paste.
  • Two coats of applications are required over the plastered surface.
  • Second coat application is done only after completion of first coat by at least 10 hours.
  • Curing is required for walls for a at least a period of 1 day.

Colour wash :

  • If we want colour wash for wall surface, minimum 2 – 3 coats of colour wash is required to get uniform shade.
  • When Cement paint is used as an exterior paints application, the wall surface is first watered thoroughly and is allowed to drain off before its application.
  • Paint application is carried over by brush or by roller in criss-cross direction until uniform colour shade is obtained.
  • Second coat application is required to carried out only after completion of first coat by at least 24 hours.
  • Curing : Curing is required for cement paint walls for a period of 3 – 4 days.

Exterior paints :

  • Paints always be kept ready in stock and confirmed with the recommended also approved brand of paint required to be used at site.
  • The procedure is similar to cement paint as mentioned above.
  • Apply primer coat as per specification or as per reputed brand manufacture’s instruction.
  • Exterior paints of 2nd and 3rd coat is applied over 1st coat does not require any moist curing.
