Paint Preparation
To secure the effective performance of the painting system, the very first step is to check for surface imperfections.

Check the application surfaces.
If there are any marks, wipe away with a mild detergent.
If the old coat is flaky, remove the old coat completely with a scraper.
If there is rust, remove with a wire brush.
If there is any needle or screw holes, fill with a wall filler and polish with a fine sand paper.
If there is fungus, remove with anti-fungus solution.
Pick a fine dry day to paint. To avoid unsatisfactory result, do not paint when it is high humid (>85%).
Keep the application area well-ventilated and do not work near naked flame.
Have all tools and protective clothing handy: paint brushes, rollers, bucket, step-ladder,
old newspaper, scraper, cloth, Nipsea masking tape, mask and apron.
To avoid soiling, cover furniture, floor windows and doors with old newspapers or plastic sheets
for protection
Wear mask, protective clothing, gloves and hat.
Read the instructions carefully before applying any paint. Dilute the paint as instructed and stir well.

Painting System
What paints should I need? Simply match the application surface with the right painting system.

Generally, a complete painting system should include: 1 coat of sealer/primer, 2-coat of finishes. Here, maybe you are wondering why it is necessary to apply sealer/ primer. Let’s tell you the importance of applying sealer/primer. First, it prevents undue absorption of the subsequent coating into the substrate. Second, it prevents alkali materials from bleeding through to the surface. So when you choose paint, you should find a right sealer/primer and finishes according to the application surface. For your reference, some common paint systems are listed below.
