New unpainted surfaces: Clean the surface and remove all possible traces of dust or dirt. Treat the substrate
with a priming coat of ADIFIX thinned as specified and allow to dry, then, apply one or two basecoats of
FONDO UNIVERSALE thinned in the recommended doses. It is ideal to use a dark colored basecoat. To obtain
the colors as shown on our catalogue, add ⅔ of TINTER DTX01 to every 2ℓ of FONDO UNIVERSALE.
Previously painted surfaces: Check that the state of the existing paintwork is in excellent condition, if so,
proceed directly with the application of the FONDO UNIVERSALE as mentioned in the previous paragraph.
If the surface shows signs of defects, such as peeling or chalking, remove any loose parts that would
compromise the correct adhesion of the product and proceed as indicated for New unpainted surfaces.

ATHELIÉ can be applied with just the addition of the specific SILVER or GOLD TINTER (1 Tinter to every 0.75lt of
ATHELIÉ or it can be additionally colored to obtain the colors proposed in the color chart.

• Application A
  Spread the product onto the prepared surface with the special Desiré Brush using crossed and uneven brush
  stokes, starting from the top corner of the wall working downwards.
  Apply for about 10 to 15 minutes at a time (this length of time is variable according to the existing ambient
  temperature and humidity).
  At this point, when the product starts to dry and loses its shine, lightly pass the plastic Desiré Distender blade
  over the applied flakes, always using crossed movements, to spread out and flatten the flakes and reach the
  desired final effect. Use more or less pressure on the blade according to how you want the flakes to be seen.
• Application B
  Apply the product with a brush (as indicated in Application A) then, while wet, trowel down the surface with a
  stainless-steel trowel in crosshatched movements using firm pressure to reach the typical effect of the finish.
  It is also possible to apply the product directly to the wall with the trowel using the same crossed movements,
  using more or less pressure according to the desired effect.
  The ideal troweled effect is attained with the application of two coats, the second applied after at least 6 hours
  and in the same way as the first.
