    how to paint exterior wall surfaces of your home

    pre-painting steps

    plaster

    New masonry surfaces must be allowed to cure completely. Allow 28 days as the curing time for new masonry surfaces.

     

    cleaning

    Surface should be free from any loose paint, dust or grease. Growth of fungus, algae or moss should be removed by wire brushing and water. In case of areas having excessive dampness, please use Asian Paints DampBlock to limit further dampness. When the underlying surface exhibits chalkiness, in spite of thorough surface cleaning, use Asian Paints SmartCare Exterior Sealer.

     

    filling for cracks

    For filling cracks up to 3mm use Asian Paints SmartCare Crack Seal.

     

    filling for holes & dents

    In case of dents and holes, use Asian Paints Wall Putty or a mix of white cement and fine sand in the ratio of 1:3.

    Apex Duracast DholpurTex should not be applied on surfaces / substrates that are subjected to continuous seepage or dampness.
