Step 1

Remove as much furniture as possible.

 

Step 2

Cover the floor, furniture and the rest of the surfaces with newspapers or plastic sheets.

   

Step 3

Protect light switches, electrical sockets, window frames and wood works with strips of masking tape.

   

Step 4

Remove any unstable paint film with a scraper. Then sand the surface for a smooth finish. Dust off.

   

Step 5

Patch up cracks or uneven surfaces with an appropriate filler. When the filler is dry, sand it with sandpaper for a smooth finish. Dust off.

   

Step 6

Use water and wash or clean surfaces to be painted. Everything must be allowed to dry thoroughly before painting.

   

Step 7

For any new walls, use a wall sealer (such as Vinilex wall 5101 or 5170) to neutralize the alkali on the walls before painting.
