Paint Type: Water-based Acrylic.
Finishing: Shimmering Smooth Metallic.
Drying Time: Touch Dry in 1–2 hours; Hard Dry in 2–4 hours (at 28–32°C).
Recoating Interval: 2–4 hours between coats.
Theoretical Coverage: 7 – 8 m² per litre per coat (actual coverage varies by surface).
Volume Solid: ~30%.
Shelf Life: Up to 36 months in a tightly sealed container.
Application Method: Can be applied via Brush, Roller, or Conventional Air Spray. For the most uniform metallic effect on flat surfaces, a short-nap roller or spray is preferred.
Thinning: Ready to use. If necessary, dilute with a maximum of 5% water for brush/roller, or 10–15% for conventional air spray.
Cleaning: Clean all tools and equipment with clean water immediately after use.

General Cleanliness: Ensure the surface is dry, stable, and free from dirt, grease, oil, or wax.
Masonry Care: For new walls, ensure moisture content is below 16% and alkalinity is below pH 9. Remove all loose or powdery residue.
Old Paint/Contaminants: Scrape off flaking paint. Treat areas affected by fungus or algae with a fungicidal wash solution and allow to dry completely.
Repairing Defects: Patch cracks and uneven spots with a suitable filler (like EasySKIM 5000). Sand the area smooth before priming.
Metal/Wood Sanding: For metal, remove rust or mill scale by wire brushing or sanding. For wood, lightly sand the surface to improve mechanical bond/adhesion.
