Exterior Paints :
The Process of Exterior Paints is explained here step by step.
Exterior Primer:
- The wall surface is thoroughly scrapped with sand paper before painting.
- For application of painting use sprayer or hard brushes for exterior paint application.
First Coat & Second Coat :
- First, one stroke of brush or roller starting from downwards is applied and then another from bottom upwards over the first one.
- Likewise one stroke from right and other from the left over the left, before the first one dries. By doing this brush marks is avoided.
Crack fill :
- After the application of first coat, the cracks and holes appeared on wall surface are filled with crack fill paste.
- Two coats of applications are required over the plastered surface.
- Second coat application is done only after completion of first coat by at least 10 hours.
- Curing is required for walls for a at least a period of 1 day.
Colour wash :
- If we want colour wash for wall surface, minimum 2 – 3 coats of colour wash is required to get uniform shade.
- When Cement paint is used as an exterior paints application, the wall surface is first watered thoroughly and is allowed to drain off before its application.
- Paint application is carried over by brush or by roller in criss-cross direction until uniform colour shade is obtained.
- Second coat application is required to carried out only after completion of first coat by at least 24 hours.
- Curing : Curing is required for cement paint walls for a period of 3 – 4 days.
Exterior paints :
- Paints always be kept ready in stock and confirmed with the recommended also approved brand of paint required to be used at site.
- The procedure is similar to cement paint as mentioned above.
- Apply primer coat as per specification or as per reputed brand manufacture’s instruction.
- Exterior paints of 2nd and 3rd coat is applied over 1st coat does not require any moist curing.
- Durability : The characteristics and advantages of using these paints are thicker coating, greater opacity, more durablility, nonfading, high degree of flexibility and strong adhesive properties.
- Hence it is recommended to go for color combination and mixing of shades, which produces in-between colour shades.
