General
Ensure surfaces to be painted are clean, dry and free of contamination, in hot and windy conditions or when painting very absorbent surfaces, dampen the surface with water before painting. Fill surface defects with suitable filler or sealsnt. Surface must be clean, dry and free from all dirt, dust, grease, oil, rust and any other surface contamination.

Previously Painted Surfaces
Remove loose and flaking paint and sand surface thoroughly. On aged enamel use Taubmans 3 in 1 for intercoat adhesion. Treat bare areas as for new work.

New Work/ Unpainted Suraces
Timber - Sand weathered (greyed) timber to the original timber surface. Tannin rich timbers should be primed with Taubmans Prep Right Wood Primer or Taubmans 3 in 1.

Galvanised Iron - Degrease new surfaces, thoroughly clean weathered surfaces to ensure adhesion. For structural galvanized iron, abrade with 240# paper to remove chemical treatments. If red dust is present, treat as for steel.

Cement Render/Concrete - Allow concrete, cement render and mortar to cure for 28 days before painting.

Steel - Remove rust and primse with Taubmans PrepRight Iron and Stee Primer.

Before Painting
Confirm colour before use. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid painting in direct sun or windy conditions. Dampen highly absorbent surfaces. Disconnect drinking water pipes before painting roofs, reconnect after first rain.

Application
Apply using a brush, roller or spray. Use two generous coats and three on unpainted surfaces.

New Work

Tannin rich timbers such as cedar should be primed with Taubmans Prep Right Wood Primer or Taubmans 3 in 1.

How much paint do I need? Our Paint Calculator is a useful feature that calculates the amount of paint we require for a painting project. We will also soon be adding a feature that will allow you to calculate labour cost for the painting project. Usually for a 3 bedroom unit/house it takes 20L of ceiling paint. In most cases it's flat (for bathroom ceilings it's best to use mould proof or simple low sheen paint, 30 liters for walls usually its low sheen, and 4-6 Litres for woodwork.) Coverage in most cases is around 1L per 7 -10 Square meters, again it's for previously painted surfaces only. For new plasterboard its around 7 squares per 1 L per one coat, and the new render is 5 square meters per liter again for one coat.
