Ensure all surfaces are sound, clean, dry and free from dirt, grease and other contamination.

For most surfaces it is recommended to use a dilute Sugar Soap solution following the manufacturer's instructions. We do not recommend using solvent-based cleaning products or strong alkaline solutions as these can impact adhesion.

After cleaning, wipe the surface with a damp cloth and allow to dry.

When opening a new tin of paint, don't allow any dust or debris to fall from the lid into the continents. If you are reusing a tin of paint, it is recommended to strain it.

For New or Unpainted Plaster/Dry-Lined Surfaces (Modern Construction):

• Make sure the plaster is clean, dry and free of dust, then suitably primed and undercoated prior to painting.
• For best results and maximum depth of colour, dilute your Farrow & Ball topcoat with 25% water and use this as a mist coat, followed by two coats of your chosen topcoat. Please note: British Standard 6150 recommends a typical drying time for new plaster of 7 days for every 5mm thickness.

Previously Painted Walls Preparation:

• Apply one coat of Farrow & Ball Wall & Ceiling Primer & Undercoat, in the correct colour tone for your top coat (and allowing a minimum of 4 hours drying time between coats).
• Then follow with two coats of your chosen colour to promote adhesion and full colour depth.

Find out more information about the Preparation on the "Product Advice Sheet" in the "Datasheet" section.

Always test a small area of the surface to be painted to ensure compatibility

Don't over dilute the Primer & Undercoat or mist coat. This will reduce their opacity, causing an uneven finish and incomplete colour development. Before applying the top coat, consider if a second, undiluted coat of Primer & Undercoat is needed to achieve full opacity.

• Stir thoroughly before use.
• Ensure all surfaces are sound, clean, dry and free from dirt, grease and other contamination. Please note that flaking or peeling may occur if you paint over weak paint layers - to avoid this sand back any previous weak paint layers before you start painting.
• For most applications, a quality fine-tipped synthetic bristled paint brush or medium pile woven polyester roller is recommended.

This product isn't suitable for basements or buildings without a functioning, dampproof course and membrane because this can cause failure between the paint and surface being painted, which can include flaking, peeling and blistering.

Find out more information about the Application on the "Product Advice Sheet" in the "Datasheet" section.
