Follow the steps below to make your project a success:<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Be sure to work in an open space.<\/span><\/p>\n Clean the surfaces you want to paint to remove all traces of dirt and dust. Our Colorantic cleaner and varnish remover is the ideal tool to make your job easier. It is very important to rinse the cleaner well in order to remove all residues and allow the paint to adhere well.<\/span><\/p>\n Sand rough spots to achieve a smooth, flawless surface when applying paint. In some situations, it will be necessary to apply our oil primer. When it comes to making the transition between an oil finish and our water-based chalk paint as well as for certain materials, such as metal, melamine, plastic and all shiny surfaces, the application of the oil primer is recommended to ensure long-term adherence.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/colorantic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/4.png” alt=”rifle” title_text=”Colorantic products” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”50%” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n We strongly suggest using a new can of paint when using the sprayer. This prevents small residues that could have formed inside an already opened and poorly cleaned can from mixing with the paint, which could clog the mouth of the sprayer.<\/span><\/p>\n It is important to mix the paint well, so shake the jar and when you open it you can also use a stick to stir it well.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Add the required amount of paint to the sprayer tank and add a small amount of water to make it easier to spray.<\/span><\/p>\n In her video, Sandra, from \u00c9co Touch, suggests: 1 portion of paint + \u00bc of water (ex.: 5 oz of water for 20 oz of paint).<\/span><\/p>\n Be sure to mix everything well before you start spraying.<\/span><\/p>\n If you feel the paint is still too thick, you can add a little more water to achieve the desired texture.<\/span><\/p>\n Hold the gun and adjust the spray pressure according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Apply a thin coat of paint evenly using a sweeping motion. Be sure to thoroughly cover all surfaces.<\/span><\/p>\n Since our chalk-based paint dries quickly, you can apply a second coat soon after.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/colorantic.com\/magasinez\/” button_text=” Shop” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” button_bg_color=”#c481b0″ button_border_color=”#c481b0″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”59233,59232,59228″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”56%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_gallery][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n We recommend that you seal and protect your paint using our matte varnish<\/a> (5-10% gloss), our clear glaze, Translucent Window<\/a> (30-35% gloss) or our waxes<\/a>. Whatever your choice, it is important to wait until the paint is completely dry before applying, we suggest a drying time of 4 to 5 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n With the tricks that you have just discovered, you don’t have to be a professional to achieve an exceptional look.
