HOW TO ACHIEVE A COST EFFECTIVE TUSCAN STYLE RENDERED LOOK
As this is generally the first time most people have applied this type of finish it is highly
recommended that you follow the procedure below exactly on a small test panel first before applying
to your finished wall.
NEVER APPLY IN DIRECT SUN LIGHT.
SAND FINISH PAINT
APPLICATION
!
IMPORTANT
The metal surfaces to be painted mus be clean, dry and free of contaminants.
Lightly scuff/rub dwon all Metal and Primed components with a 3M Scotch Bright pad prior to the application of paint.
Scotch Bright pads are available from most paint stores.
NOTE: -
The light key this gives won`t be visible but it is effective!
Prepare the surface by ensuring that the Fibre Cement Panels are clean, dry and free of contaminants. This can be achieved by means
of a brush down with a stiff brush or rubbing lightly with a ‘Scotch Bright’ pad.
BASE COAT -
We use and recommend Dulux Acra Sand texture paint. Acra Sand is available from Dulux trade stores
only. Only a single base coat of this is required if over coated with Dulux Weather shield (see top coat step below).
If a different brand of sand based finish is selected (than specified above) please ensure that it is self-priming onto fibre
cement/masonry surfaces.
If it isn’t then a base primer such as Dulux Acraprime will also be required.
NOTE: -
This base Acra Sand coat can (in most cases) be tinted to the colour of your final topcoat at the time of
purchase.
