Important Acrylic Paint Application Practices to Remember

If you intend to use this paint for your next project, make sure you are equipped with the knowledge to apply it for best results. Take note of these steps that can help make paint application a breeze:

1. Work with a clean surface: Inspect for dirt, dust, oil, or other substances on the surface. If you spot some, use a clean cloth to wash and thoroughly rinse and dry the area. 
2. Wear appropriate safety gear: Although water-based acrylic house paint is considered “less risky” versus other types of paint, don’t take your safety for granted. Always wear face masks, goggles, and rubber gloves while handling the paint. 
3. Keep ventilation in mind: Don’t forget to open windows so that the air in the room circulates and unwanted particles or substances are not trapped in the area. 
4. Apply a high-quality primer: Using a high-quality product like Island Paints Prima Primer 301 White helps paint adhere to walls better, ensures an even surface, makes the color stand out, protects the surface, and guarantees longer paint durability.
   
   Apply this primer as is with a brush and roller or add up to 1/4 liter of clean water to a gallon of paint. If you only have a spray painter, use a 10% to 15% reduction of primer. Just be aware that this type of primer takes about two (2) to four (4) hours to dry before you can recoat, so time the painting process accordingly.
5. Apply two (2) coats of topcoat: Use a brush, roller, or spray to paint once you are certain that the surface is clean and adequately primed. You can also add 1/4 liter of clean water to a gallon of paint to dilute it. Once you are satisfied with the consistency of the paint, apply it onto the surface in multiple thin coats to ensure even coverage and faster drying. 
6. Allow enough drying time: Be patient and wait for the initial layer of paint to dry before applying another coat. This prevents mishaps that can affect the overall appearance of the surface.

With Island Premium Paints, you can paint with confidence knowing that you are using high-quality products that come with a Product Satisfaction Guarantee, withstand the elements of nature, and meet safety standards.
