- For opaque finish you can choose conventional enamels (Apcolite Premium Gloss Enamel, Apcolite Premium Satin Enamel or Gattu Synthetic Enamel).
- Apply wood primer by brush, after thinning to given ratio by recommended thinner.
- Allow it to dry for 6-8 hr then apply putty or Lambi.
- Sand the applied putty with 180 no. sand paper & apply 2nd coat of wood primer.
- Now the wooden surface is ready for painting with the top coat
- Enamels are normally applied by brushing although they can also be sprayed.
- The drying time of enamels is longer; hence care must be taken to ensure a dust free environment while the paint film is drying.
- Two coats of paint is sufficient in most cases, however if the earlier paint shade was significantly darker than the new shade an additional coat of paint is recommended.
