PAVING PAINT FEATURES AND BENEFITS

COLORMAKER PAVING PAINT is a fast drying gloss paint designed specifically for concrete and flooring applications. It is a long lasting and durable interior and exterior paint, which offers excellent resistance to scuffing and marking.

This paint is also suitable in general applications where a tough, hard-wearing coating is required. It is suitable for verandahs, patios, laundries, workshops, showrooms, handrails, garage floors and light industrial areas.

This quality product is supplied ready to use from the container. Please consult Colormaker Industries or your Colormaker Paving Paint stockist if you are unsure about your particular surface type.

Under normal conditions COLORMAKER PAVING PAINT is touch dry in 2 hours. A non-slip finish can be achieved with the addition of COLORMAKER NON-SLIP ADDITIVE to the paint prior to application of the final coat (minimum 2 coats is recommended).

COLORMAKER PAVING PAINT can be applied by brush or roller, and without the addition of non-slip additive by spray equipment.

APPLICATION GUIDE

COVERAGE:
Approximately 8-10m2/litre 1st coat, depending on surface type, porosity and texture.
Approximately 12m2/litre 2nd and subsequent coats.

BEFORE YOU START

Attention to detail when preparing surfaces to be painted will ensure a better finish and maximize the life of COLORMAKER PAVING PAINT. Any loose or flaking material must be removed and the surface prepared as per instructions below.

Estimate the surface area to be painted and calculate how much paint you will require, remember it is better to slightly overestimate than to run out of paint before completing your job. (See coverage rates)
Where a non-slip finish is required add COLORMAKER NON-SLIP ADDITIVE to the paint prior to application of the final coat.
As a general rule work in small areas (1 to 2 square metres) at a time at the recommended spreading rate. Two coats correctly applied will give better performance and finish than one heavily applied coat.
Be sure to keep paints and cleaning equipment away from children at all times. Store in a safe dry place. Do not smoke while using solvent based paints.
The general instructions supplied with this product are adequate for most applications. However if you have any doubts about surface type, preparation or application please contact your stockist, or Colormaker Industries.

PREPARATION

All surfaces to be painted must be thoroughly cleaned and be free of dirt, dust and grease. Degrease the area with a suitable degreaser to remove any grease and oil contaminants. Remove all loose and flaking paint. Any painted surfaces must be thoroughly abraded with sandpaper until the whole surface appears a uniform matt finish. Any new or smooth concrete should be etched with a solution of one part of commercial 32% Hydrochloric Acid and five parts water. Wear gloves and safety glasses.
ALWAYS ADD THE ACID TO THE WATER. Use a plastic container. Apply liberally and agitate with a stiff-bristled broom. Allow fifteen (15 ) minutes for the acid to react with the concrete. Once etching is complete thoroughly rinse off all acid with water and allow to dry. Always wear protective clothing to protect the eyes and skin when using acid. New cement must be allowed to cure for at least six (6) weeks prior to painting with COLORMAKER PAVING PAINT. Smooth steel-trowelled cement MUST be acid etched. Wooden pre-painted floors should be scraped free of loose and flaking paint and abraded with sandpaper prior to painting. New wooden floors should be primed with COLORMAKER PINK WOOD PRIMER prior to painting. Friable/crumbling concrete should be prepared with COLORMAKER SUPER SEAL PRIMER prior to painting. On bare or smooth concrete surfaces one coat of COLORMAKER SUPER SEAL PRIMER 24 hours prior to painting further enhances adhesive qualities of COLORMAKER PAVING PAINT.

STIRRING: Mix contents thoroughly with a broad flat stirrer using a circular, lifting motion prior to applying.

THINNING: Not normally required.
