Previously painted surfaces should be made free of all dust, greasy and powdery material. The algal and fungal growth can be removed using a wire brush and the surface must be cleaned with a water splash. All loose, old paint must be cleaned from the surface with a wire brush and water jet and left to dry. All structural cracks must be open in a V-shape filled with white cement/cement-based plaster and leakage should be stopped before the actual painting. Cracks should be filled up by using a cement and sand mixture in the ratio 1:3 or Garnish Crack Filler. The newly plastered surface must have been cured at least 2–3 months before the painting. Apply one coat of Garnish Exterior wall primer or Garnish Exterior Emulsion diluted 1:1 with clean water.

Finishing

Apply 2–3 coats of garnish exterior emulsion thinned with 400-450 ml by volume of potable water per LTR paint. Allow drying time of 3–4 hours between the coats.
