Intended use
Interiors. Cement based surfaces, gypsum and plasterboard and walls.
Surface treatment
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 color the basecoat in a tone similar to that of the
finish to be used.
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 then proceed as indicated hereabove for New unpainted surfaces.
Preparing the required color
The correct surface preparation of the substrate will guarantee the best results in terms of product yield, appearance and resistance in time of the finish.
Application
Once the basecoat is well dry, start the application of DESIRÉ LUXURY in the chosen color.
Spread the product with the special Desiré Brush using short, crossed and uneven brush strokes, starting from
the top corner of the wall working downwards. Apply for a period of about 10 to 15 minutes at a time (this length
of time is variable according to the existing environment temperature and humidity).
When you see that the product starts to dry and loses its shine, lightly pass the Desiré Distender plastic blade
over the applied flakes, always using crossed movements, to spread out and flatten the flakes and reach the final
effect of the finish. Use more or less pressure on the blade according to how you want the flakes to be seen.
