Matt Lustre

Additional Information

USES
Ideally suited for walls and ceilings in bedrooms, halls, lounge rooms, etc. Duralex Professional Matt Lustre is also suitable for use on interior/exterior masonry and fibrous cement surfaces.

SURFACE PREPARATION
BEFORE PAINTING: Ensure surface is firm, properly prepared, thoroughly dry, dust free, clean and free of all foreign matter. If necessary, fill all nail holes, cracks, etc. with a suitable filler, sand smooth and dust down. Efflorescence or mould on any surface must be treated first.

Brick, Masonry, Fibro, Gyprock, etc.
New Unpainted – Remove dust, loose sand, etc. especially from cement render by rubbing with a block of oregon timber and sweep clean. Apply one coat of Duralex Undercoat & Gyprock Sealer followed by two coats of Duralex Professional Matt Lustre. 

Previously Painted Surfaces
Before recoating previously painted surfaces, ensure that the surface is firm. Unsound surfaces should be stripped before repainting to achieve the best results. Test at random for its ability to withstand extra coats. Simply cut a small cross (x) through the paint with a razor blade, then place a piece of sticky tape firmly over the cut. Hold the end of the tape then rip the tape off. If the tape pulls the surface away, the surface is unsound. Test different areas before deciding whether or not the surface coating should be removed. 
After removing all loose, flaking paint and powdery deposits, apply Duralex Surface Binder where necessary. Sand glossy surfaces to provide a key. Prime any bare rust-prone metal surfaces with a suitable primer. Apply two coats of Duralex Professional Matt Lustre. 

APPLICATION
IMPORTANT: Wet brush or roller in water and shake off excess prior to use, for a smoother, nib free job. Do not overspread. Stir contents thoroughly before and during use with a broad flat stirrer, using an upward lifting action.
To ensure best performance, do not use any additive not approved by Duralex.
