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. Proceed with the application of a basecoat using
ADIDROL B or FONDO UNIVERSALE thinned in the recommended doses and colored in a tone similar to that of
the finish.
Previously painted surfaces: Check that the state of the existing paintwork is in excellent condition, if so, proceed
directly with the application of the ADIDROL B or FONDO UNIVERSALE, as described 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 chosen color is obtained by adding the specified quantity of Adicolor TINTER to the product base according to the formula indicated on the color chart. The product can also be colored with the Adicolor tinting system.
Application
Once the colored basecoat is well dry, proceed with the application of SHADÉ L by short-pile roller.
Generally, two coats are sufficient for a good hide finish. It is advisable to apply the second coat always rolling in
the same direction (for example, always working from top to bottom of the wall, which means detaching the roller
at the bottom and resuming again from the top).
For an even smoother and more uniform effect, it is better to apply the second coat of product by spray
