Preparation
- Clean the surface to be painted and make sure it is free from any possible contaminants such as dust and dirt.
- Gently sand hard or gloss surfaces and remove any dust.
- Smooth out any irregularities in the surface.
- Teknos recommend using their Futura Aqua Primer to prime any wood and galvanised metal surfaces before applying the topcoat.
- Consider using anticorrosive paint to prepare and prime aluminium, copper, and any steel surfaces that contain some rust – Teknos recommend their Ferrex Aqua paint.
- Make sure the temperature of the air and surface is at least 10°C, and that the relative air humidity is below 80%.

- Due to varying screen resolutions, colour swatches shades can vary when mixed in to paint. We would recommend the purchase of a Tester Pot if you are unsure, this would give a more accurate reference of the colour, also looking at the shade in the home environment would give additional assurance as colours are influenced by there surroundings ( Metamorism ).
