To accomplish the optimum results it is essential to guarantee the project area is clean, dry and structurally sound, free from any imperfections or poorly adhering material

• All flawed, peeling and substandard old paint will need to be cleared away, either by sanding or with the use of a paint scraper
• Additional care should be taken when removing the surface of pre-1960s paint surfaces as they could possibly contain harmful quantities of lead
• Eradicate all organic growth, such as lichen, mould, algal or fungal growths, with an antifungal compound, such as Sandtex Fungicidal Wash
• Dirt, grease and dusty or powdery residues need to be cleaned away by washing the area with an appropriate detergent
• Flaws in the substrate, such as cracks and small holes or cavities, need to be be plugged, sealed and fixed with a suitable filler and then sanded flat
• Ensure the project area is clean by washing the surface with a suitable detergent to remove any residue of dust, grime or grease, then rinse clean and allow to fully dry
• Powdery or dusty substrates need to be sealed with an appropriate sealant, such as Sandtex Quick Drying Stabilising Solution
• It is recommended to coat porous and absorbent surfaces with a mist coat comprising of Crown Trade Clean Extreme Anti Bacterial Acrylic Eggshell diluted with 40% clean water
• Polished or shiny surfaces need to be primed with a suitable primer, such as Crown Trade PX3 All Purpose Primer or Crown Trade PX4 All Purpose Primer if a waterbased primer is preferred
• If the surface is still contaminated with staining or bleeding, then patch prime with Crown Trade PX4 All Purpose Primer to help eliminate the blemish

Always produce a test area before the application to gauge the appropriateness and final finish of the product. Follow the manufacturer's instructions at all times.

To ensure the regularity of colour throughout the application, ensure enough supplies of Crown Trade Clean Extreme Anti Bacterial Acrylic Eggshell for the project area, including a sufficient amount for touch-in at a later date

Avoid applying if the air or substrate temperatures are likely to be below 8° or to exceed 80% humidity

• Mix and blend the paint, ensuring to work through the bottom and edges of the tin to guarantee an even mixture of the pigment within the paint
• Apply with a high quality roller for the walls and a good quality brush for cutting in the corners and around fittings and fixtures
• If Crown Trade Clean Extreme Anti Bacterial Acrylic Eggshell is being applied by spray, then refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the recommended dilution ratio
• The usual finishing process requires 2 full coats of Crown Trade Clean Extreme Anti Bacterial Acrylic Eggshell, however this can change and depends on the darkness of the substrate
