All preparation and painting must conform to AS2311: The Painting of Buildings.
Tinted Colours: Ensure the paint is thoroughly shaken and stirred immediately after addition of tinter to the can and again before use.
Do not exceed recommended spreading rate when brushing and rolling.
Do not paint at temperatures below 10ºC or when the surface temperature may fall below 10ºC during the drying period.
Avoid exposure to steam and condensation for 48 hours after application. Although the film is dry to touch in 30 minutes, allow 7 days for film to fully cure.
Some colours may require more than two coats, especially when painting over dark colours.
Chemical emissions of the Primer and Topcoat system will not be considered Ultra low if any primer other than Dulux UltrAir primer is used.
Ensure all surfaces are clean and dry prior to application. Brush down to remove dust.
Previously Painted Surfaces
Wash down with Selleys Sugar Soap solution and rinse with clean water to remove any dirt, oil or grease. In cases where mould or mildew is present, use a household bleach solution. Dilute 1 part bleach with 3 parts clean water. Wear gloves and goggles. Use a scouring pad wet with bleach solution to lightly abrade the surface and ensure physical removal of stubborn areas of mould growth. Leave the bleach solution on the surface for 15 minutes, then thoroughly remove by washing down with clean water and wipe dry. In very severe cases, repeat this action to remove all mould.
Surfaces must be sanded to remove loose, peeling, flaking or chalky paint. Sand all gloss and semi gloss surfaces to a dull finish and wipe down with a damp cloth to remove surface dust. Apply one coat of Dulux UltraAir Primer to ceilings that have been repaired or which have an uneven gloss or colour.
Bare Paper-faced Wallboard, Cement Sheet and Brick
Brush down to remove any surface dust. Apply one coat of Dulux UltraAir Primer.
Bare Interior Timber
Sand smooth. Dust off. Apply one coat of Dulux UltraAir Primer. For tannin-rich timber, Dulux 1-Step Oil may be required to prevent tannins from bleeding through.
Bare Set Plaster, Fibrous Plaster and Plasterglass
Brush down to remove any surface dust. Apply one coat of Precision Sealer Binder.
Stir well before use with a broad flat paddle using an up and down scooping action. Apply two coats of Dulux UltraAir Ceiling White ensuring that the first coat is completely dry before applying the second.
Brush/Roller
Use good quality brushes and rollers. Using poor quality or worn rollers can affect the final finish achieved. Use a 12mm-20mm nap synthetic roller. Pre-wet brushes and rollers with water and remove excess moisture before loading roller with paint. Thinning is usually not required. Under hot conditions up to 50ml per litre of water may be used.
Airless/Conventional Spray
Suitable for application by all standard spray equipment. If necessary, to aid atomisation, up to 100ml per litre of water may be added for conventional spray or up to 30ml per litre of water for airless spray.
