Before applying any type of coating, it is essential to perform a series of preparation steps on the wall. Initially, it is necessary to remove all dirt, including dust, grease, mold, and any loose parts of the surface.
It is crucial to resolve any infiltration or moisture problems in the wall before starting to paint, since paint alone cannot solve such structural issues.
Leveling with putty and acrylic filler
To correct small irregularities and ensure the surface is smooth, putty is used. The choice of type depends on the location: putty is generally recommended for indoor environments, while acrylic filler should be used in outdoor areas or those with higher humidity incidence, following the manufacturer's instructions. After complete drying, the wall needs to be sanded to achieve a uniform texture.
Uniformizing absorption with sealer
In new walls or those that have recently received filler, the paint absorption capacity can show significant variations between different points. The use of acrylic sealer aims to reduce this disparity, helping the paint to have better yield and present a more homogeneous finish. Suvinil offers acrylic sealer in 18-liter packages within the Panorama portfolio.
Preparing fragile surfaces with primer
When dealing with old plaster that tends to shed dust when touched, the appropriate product is the primer. This material functions to stabilize these loose particles, which in turn considerably improves the adhesion of the paint to the surface. The Suvinil line offers a water-based primer.
Final application of paint
Only after all preparation steps are completed should you proceed with applying coats of paint, always strictly respecting the drying time specified on the package. It is important to note that each phase of the process has a specific function, and neglecting any of them is a common cause for needing to redo the work.
If you plan to paint your home, it is recommended to visit a Panorama store to speak with the team and discover the Suvinil line options suitable for each phase of the painting project.
