Read the instructions carefully before applying any paint. Dilute the paint as instructed and stir well.
Apply 1-2 coat of sealer/primer to all surfaces. Work your way downward from ceiling to walls.
Apply 2 finish coats for best result. (Remark: If bright colour is desired, 3 to 4 coats should be applied.)
Clean all painting tools immediately after use.
Keep undiluted and unused paint in a sealed container for later touch-ups.
Do not pour unused paint down any drain as this will cause environmental pollution. Empty the paint can on a stack of old newspapers and leave to dry.
Apply a coat of primer/sealer on the sanded surface and leave to dry.
Shake the can well for at least 30 seconds.
Press the nozzle of the spray can with your index finger and spray the work surface from left to right from a distance of 25-30 cm.
For better results, applying several thin coats instead of one thick coat.
Before putting the unused portion of paint away, turn the spray can upside down. Press the nozzle for 2 seconds to empty any residual paint on the nozzle and avoid blockage.
Caution 1. Do not puncture or incinerate can. 2. Do not spray near fire or open flame. 3. Can should be stored in cool dry place below 40ºC avoiding rust and corrosion. 4. Spray in a well ventilated area and protect near by objects from over spray. 5. Be sure surface is free from dirt, grease, etc

How to I choose a wall paint?
(a)For rooms with many occupants, use a dirt resistant and washable paint that does not wear out or discolor easily. (b)Choose a paint that suits your particular environment. For example, use a damp-proof anti-mould paint if you live near the seaside.
Do I need to apply sealer/primer?
Yes. It serves the following 3 functions : 1. Prevent materials from bleeding through to the surface; 2. Prevent reaction of the substrate with incompatible top coats; 3. Prevent undue absorption of the subsequent coating into the substrate.
What is an "undercoat"?
An intermediate coat formulated to prepare a primed surface or prepared surface for the subsequent finishing coats. Functions include imparting opacity and building film to the total paint system.
Why is a top coat necessary?
A top coat is the finishing coat of paint that decorates and protects the treated surface. It gives shine and texture, and provides tolerance to adverse environmental elements.

What are the basic application procedures to get the paint work done?
1. Surface preparation - Remove any lose particles; apply filler on holes and sand till smooth. 2. Remove stain & dirt; wait till dry. 3. Apply 1 coat of sealer/ primer. 4. Apply 2 top coats.
What are the tips for treating newly plastered walls?
1. Keep the surface dry. Generally, paint work should not get started if the humidity of new walls is more than 10%. 2. Use filler to fill any cracks or uneven areas. 3. Apply 1 coat of Nippon Paint water based primer/sealer to make the top coat smooth & durable.
What are the tips for treating old walls?
1. If the old coat is flaky, remove the old coat completely with a scraper. 2. Sand the wall surface smooth.
How do I calculate the total work area for the painting job?
If you know the floor area of the room, and the ceiling height is about 2.5m, simply multiply the floor area by 3. If the ceiling height is higher than 2.7m or lower than 2.5m, enlarge or reduce the calculated figure accordingly. This is only a rough calculation. You should make other allowances, e.g. the area of doors and windows, as required.
What are the common tools for applying emulsion?
Paint brush, roller and spray gun.
What are the tips for using new brush?
A new brush may make the paint work imperfect if brush hair drops on paint. To prevent this happens, fingers the brush back and forth to make the lose hair drop out. Then, soap the brush into hot water completely. Last, wrap with paper and keep dry.
What should I beware of during painting?
Remove excessive paint on brush to avoid paint drip on the floor.
How to get the paint work done by rollers?
1. Choose a roller with suitable length. 2. Never make the roller painty on its ends. 3. Start the paint work from the edge of ceiling. 4. Push the roller upward to avoid paint soiling. 5. Paint with a "M" or "W" pattern to make the paint evenly distributed.
What are the differences between applying the paint by roller or brush?
Using brush to apply the coat is the simplest and earliest method. It is good for applying paint on various object shapes. However, it consumes huge labour and time to complete the job. On the other hand, applying paint with rollers is suitable for large application areas, and yet the finish resulted from brush would be better than roller.
Where should I start the to paint ?
The right sequence of applying the paint is from top to bottom. That is, first applying the paint from ceiling, then the walls, doors, windows and baseboard in sequence.

How to avoid strong odour during painting?
Using Odour-less interior or exterior paints which are low odour, low VOC (volatile organic compounds), water-based paints, diluted with water, no odour and good for heath.
What is VOC?
VOCs (volatile organic compounds) are found in wide variety of everyday products such as solvent-based paints/coatings, adhesives, sealants, printing inks, many consumer products, organic solvents and petroleum products, which is NOT good for health. All Nippon Paints’ odour-less products are compliance with regulation “indoor decorating and refurbishing materials limit of harmful substances of interior architectural coatings”. The VOC control is similar to the control adopted in California of the United States. It is expected that the VOC Regulation, when fully implemented, would help reduce about 8,700 tonnes of VOC emission a year.
How to choose environmental-friendly paint?
The regulation of VOC in interior emulsion paint is 50gram/liter, if VOC is lower than this regulation, can be claimed as an environmental-friendly paint or eco-paint. All Nippon Paints’ odour-less products are compliance with this regulation, almost virtually no odour on the paints.
What is the different between solvent-based & water-based paints? How to relate to our health?
Solvent-based paint is diluted with thinner or turpentine, those almost contain 100% VOCs. However, water-based is diluted with clear water, no harmful element, GOOD for Health. Nippon Paints’ interior emulsion paints are water-based, virtually no odour, low VOC and NOT harm for health.
What is Colorant? What is Eco-Colorant?
Colorant: Concentrated color that can be added to paints to make a specific color. Eco-Colorant is environmental-friendly colorant which is no dour, low VOC, regulated by Environmental Protection Department. Nippon Paint is the first paint company using ECO-Colorant. Nowadays, all Nippon paints’ water-based products are using ECO-Colorant. Eco-paint with eco-colorant is a real ECO-product.
Which kind of paint has ECO-colorant inside?
Paint is divided into 2 types, one is “paint with Color” or the other is “paint without Color” (means White color paint). White color paint is no need to add on any Colorant, but if you choose another paint colors, the tinting machine will drop down several colors of eco-colorants, then mix & shake. Just wait a few minutes; your favor color will come out. No need to pay extra money, eco-colorant is mixed with paint already.
What is Formaldehyde?
Formaldehyde is a chemical commonly used in industry for the manufacturing of plastic resins that can be used in wood, paper and textile industry. Formaldehyde is ubiquitous in the environment, as it is produced from both natural and manmade sources. It exists at low levels in most living organisms as a metabolic intermediate. Major manmade source of formaldehyde includes combustions (e.g., engine exhaust, wood burning, power plant, waste incineration etc.), building materials and tobacco smoke.
How is formaldehyde harm to Health?
Formaldehyde is a chemical commonly used in industry for the manufacturing of plastic resins that can be used in wood, paper and textile industry. Major exposure route for formaldehyde in the general population is through inhalation of air, especially indoor air. Formaldehyde can come from recently installed building materials and furnishings. The International Agency for Research on Cancer of the WHO classified formaldehyde as “carcinogenic to humans”.
What is the relationship between Bamboo charcoal & Formaldehyde?
Bamboo charcoal benefits environmental protection by reducing pollutant residue. It has excellent absorption properties, especially for formaldehyde, chloride, sulfide and so forth. But it can only stand for “Absorptivity” ordinary technology, just likes keeping all garbage inside a closet, not yet clean up. Thus, technicians of Nippon Paint develop Advanced Technology “Formaldehyde Abatement” in many years. They utilize & reform bamboo charcoal absorption properties with the unique technology applying on the formaldehyde-buster’s interior emulsion paint. It is absolutely a principle of decomposition to abate and decrease a certain level of harmful formaldehyde, transforming to Water ( H2O) in interior.
What is the principle of Formaldehyde Abatement technology?
“Formaldehyde Abatement” advanced technology is able to abate and decrease a certain level of harmful formaldehyde, transforming to Water ( H2O) in interior. It is every day non-stop 24-hours catabolism on nearly 100% harmful formaldehyde. Recognized by National Inspection & Test Center, it is a high effective decomposition technology*, with which is good for health.
