Spot prime repairs with Dulux Prepcoat Acrylic Sealer Undercoat.
Glossy surfaces:
Lightly sand to a dull finish.
Unpainted Surfaces
Unpainted plasterboard, brick, cement sheet, bare timber:
Apply one coat of Dulux Acrylic Sealer Undercoat.
Unpainted set plaster, fibrous plaster, plasterglass:
Apply one coat of Dulux PRECISION® Sealer Binder.
Unpainted metal surfaces:

Brush, roller
• Stir thoroughly prior to use.
• Before you begin, test your chosen application method on a large piece of board.
• Mask off adjacent walls, skirting boards and cornices.
• Brush Dulux Copper Effect around the edges of the wall.
• Apply the first coat with a medium nap roller.
• Roll using light, even pressure (strong pressure can create lines on the wall).
• Take the roller as close to the edge to cover the brush marks.
• Working in small sections, apply the second coat with a roller.
• While the paint is still wet, drag the brush in a random pattern.
• Overlap brushed areas to achieve an even effect.
• Avoid touching up.
• For an aged copper effect, apply Dulux Copper Patina Effect.
• If using Dulux Copper Effect alone the surface will mark easily.
• To protect the finish apply one thin coat of Cabot's® Cabothane® Clear Water Based Gloss after 12 hours (interior only).
• In exterior situations let Copper Effect weather naturally.
