10. 6 x sheets sandpaper (2 x 100 grain, 2 x 80 grain, 2 x 70 grain)
11. 1 x sanding block

SURFACE PREPARATION:

• The surface must be cleared of any oil, dirt or dust and swollen and old paintings must be scraped off – surface must be clean, dry and solid.
• In case the surface is not smooth, first apply Silkcoat Dahili Acrylic Paste for Metalico to obtain a problem-free surface for topcoat application
• If the surface to be applied is flattened with gypsum plaster, use Silkcoat İzolac on the surface

• Smooth but old painted, synthetic and dirty surfaces should be obtained by applying Silkcoat Universal Primer; a surface which has been puttied should be prepared by applying Silkcoat Putty Primer

PRODUCT PREPARATION:

1. Ambient and surface temperature should be between + 5ºC and + 35ºC during application and product drying
2. Before using Metalico, add water to thin the Metalico to your desired effect
3. Mix until it becomes completely homogenous
4. If applied on very bright and glassy surfaces, a solid surface should be formed by sanding the surface first to ensure better adhesion.

APPLICATION:

1. Place drop sheets on the floor and over any exposed furniture under surface to be painted
2. Apply masking tape to all corners and edges at boundaries of areas to be painted
3. Apply a single layer of Acrylic Paste (where the surface is not smooth)
4. Apply a single layer of Primer and wait for a minimum of 30 minutes for drying 
5. Apply 1st layer of Silkomatt or Class Plastic and allow to dry then apply 2nd layer
6. After the Silkomatt or Class Plastic coats are dry, 1 coat of Metalico is applied thinly (up to 20 – 30 m2 / 210 – 320 sq ft) by use of roller and brush
7. Immediately on application (DO NOT ALLOW TO DRY), use the application pattern tool to “stamp” the Metalico effect onto the paint
1. NB: Metalico dries very fast so best to have 2 people working on the wall – 1 to use a roller, 1 to follow with the Metalico tool for the effect
8. After application, tools should be cleaned with water.
