• Unpainted surfaces: New plaster and concrete substrates can be painted after 4 weeks of seasoning. Clean these surfaces from dust and dirt, smooth out irregularities and losses with putty. Gypsum boards, cardboards and putty may be painted after they are fully dry. Machine plaster with visible glossy sinter surface should be sanded and clean from dust. Then apply one coat of Tikkurila Optiva Primer before applying your Optiva 3 Ceramic finishing coats.
• Previously painted surfaces: Wash the surface before coating and remove grease and dirt and loose and flaking fragments of old coat. Sand glossy surfaces and smooth out irregularities and losses with putty. Paint with gloss grade: satin, semi-matt, semi-gloss and gloss should be sanded on the whole surface before final dusting. Prime the whole of substrate with Tikkurila Optiva Primer before applying your Optiva 3 Ceramic finishing coats. 
• Surfaces painted with glue or lime paint: Remove thoroughly the lime or glue paint. Clean the surfaces from dust and dirt, smooth out irregularities and losses with putty. Prime with Tikkurila Optiva Primer before applying your Optiva 3 Ceramic finishing coats. In case of loose substrate prime with impregnate Tikkurila Suprabilit.
• If applying colours marked in tinting system as weakly hiding or intensive colours, it is recommended to use Tikkurila Optiva Primer tinted to a colour close to the colour of finishing paint. 

Always test a small area of the surface to be painted to ensure you are happy with the finished results

• Stir thoroughly before use to ensure the paint is completely mixed.
• Before application, thin if necessary, up to 5% with water, in sufficient amount of paint from one production batch to avoid possible colour difference.
• Depending on substrate porosity apply 2 coats of Optiva 3 Ceramic by brush, roller or spray. For colours of particularly weak hiding power it may be necessary to apply additional coats.
• Painting tape should be removed immediately after painting, before the paint will dry.

Always follow manufacturer's instructions found on the tin

Store the paint in dry conditions and protect from extremes of temperature

After use firmly secure the lid.

Q.What sets Optiva 3 and Optiva 5 apart from each other?

Ans.The main difference between Optiva 3 and Optiva 5 lies in their sheen levels. Optiva 3 delivers a full matt finish with a sheen level of 3%, while Optiva 5 provides a matt finish with a sheen level of 5%. Both are water-based and have zero VOCs, making them environmentally friendly options for walls and ceilings.

Q.How do I Paint an Internal Chalky Surface ?

Ans.Chalky surfaces are characterized by a dusty, flaking texture caused by the breakdown of the existing paint film due to UV exposure or environmental factors. To paint an internal chalky surface, proper preparation is crucial. Clean the surface, fill any imperfections, and use Optiva Primer to stabilize it. Then, apply Optiva Ceramic Super Matt 3 or Optiva Matt 5 for a durable finish.
