Generally speaking, plasterboards and vinyl fabric can be painted with Colorworks paints without the need for a base coat, although this will also depend on the “type of base” that will be used. We’ll explain how to apply the paint to each base in this section.
Base Material
Gypsum board (plasterboard)
It can be applied in two coats directly on the board. Apply one layer of Colorworks Primer, let it dry, then paint with two coats for a superior finish. In the case of ordinary dwellings, color works paper (a specific fabric for painting) can be applied, and then paint is applied over it to prevent cracks. This method is cost-effective and long-lasting. You’ll like it.
Cross (wallpaper)
Vinyl chloride cloth
It can be directly applied on vinyl chloride fabric that is fastened to ordinary homes.
*Water-based paint will not adhere to water-repellent finishes, laminates made of fluororesin, antifouling cloth, specially prepared cloth for dogs, etc*
Cloth cloth
Cloth cloth is not suitable for painting because it may absorb paint and cause unevenness.
By state of cloth
- If tobacco tar is present, painting directly over it may cause it to react with a resin, melt off, and float to the top of the paint coat after drying. After carefully cleaning the surface with detergent and water, apply an undercoat of tar-stopping sealer to the wall once it has dried.
- Apply Color Works Primer after using a fungicide to get rid of any mold that may be present.
- If there are serious oil stains, water-based paint will be resisted by them, making it impossible to paint cleanly. Let’s apply the color works primer after cleaning the filth with soap, water, and drying.
- If the fabric has gaps or holes, fix the gaps and holes with putty if they are significant, and glue the peeled portions, such as joints, with wood glue. Sand the putty down and use a primer when it has dried. Thumbtack and nail holes can be quickly and simply repaired with materials that are readily accessible on the market.
Plastering walls such as sand walls, fiber walls, and plaster
Fiber walls and sand walls
The surface of fiber walls is fragile and cannot be painted. It won’t stay very long, even if you paint it, because the surface will peel off.
The sand wall uses a lot of paint because when painted directly, it absorbs a lot of it. Apply a water-based cationic sealant to the sand wall if it is still sturdy to harden the surface and stop absorption before painting. Please be aware that the sand wall’s texture will not change.
Stucco
Paint cannot be applied to plaster unless it is essentially the same plaster. Peeling results from having to breathe so much air.
Xylem
Solid wood
The knots in hemlock, pine, and other plants produce resin. Apply a tar-stopping sealant, lightly sand the surface, then topcoat. Additionally, the wood grain stands straight up and the surface may become rough as a result of moisture absorption. Apply one coat of paint, allow it to completely dry, and then sand it with a finer grit paper.
Veneer and plywood
When painted, the glue that held the wood together can flake off. Apply two coats of standard paint after priming with primer and sanding. Additionally, the wood grain stands straight up and the surface may become rough as a result of moisture absorption. After one coat of paint has been applied and well dried, add finer sandpaper to the paint. Painting on China plywood is generally acceptable.
Decorative plywood
For improved adherence and simpler application, sandpaper is used before primer. Apply two coats of ordinary paint after the priming has fully dried. Smooth the surface.
Iron/Aluminum
Whether they are internal or external, non-ferrous metals like iron and aluminum cannot be painted using standard painting techniques. However, painting is achievable by using a special undercoat substance. Iron components that have already rusted are given an undercoat of anti-rust paint after the rust has been as thoroughly removed using sandpaper. Apply two coats of ordinary paint after it has completely dried.
Ceiling material
Jupitone
Jupitone, a frequently used ceiling material, is constructed similarly to gypsum board and may therefore be painted directly. To achieve a more attractive finish, it is better to undercoat it with a primer or the equivalent because it absorbs a little more and may become uneven.
Perlite
Paint is not advised in comparison to Jupitone since it absorbs paint significantly. You can paint the flat surface after using a special sealer that hardens the base and inhibits suction, but it is challenging to fill the numerous gaps and holes.
Mortar/Concrete
Please allow the substrate to dry completely. Please wait at least two weeks before painting since the water content will not be steady due to the high water content soon after impact. Two coats of paint should be applied after priming the primer.
Terracotta (such as flower pots)
Even though you can paint it without priming, it will still absorb some paint. To avoid this, paint it with two coats of normal paint after using a primer. Terracotta flower pots cannot be utilized when placed outside. Be careful because if it includes water, it will peel off easily.
Glass tile
Because of their slick surfaces, glass and porcelain tiles are not recommended for painting.
Bran
It can be painted straight on because it is composed of paper. Paint the damaged parts after using wood glue to fix them. Additionally, the surface may inflate right after painting, but it will shrink back to its former size as it dries. Avoid tearing the paint because it contains water and weakens while being painted.
Plastic
Macromolecular compounds created by humans. No suction makes it unsuitable for painting.
