Silver Sand

1. First, you need to choose your base colour. The base colour is the which slightly shows through, once the effects are applied. The example below is Silver Sand placed on a medium blue base.

Silver Sand comes as a light Silver base colour, like the picture below. This is the top (final) layer to create your desired finish

It can also be mixed into 100's of colours using Colourant

The area to be painted should be smooth, clean, dry and uniform. Fresh plaster can be painted after a four-week seasoning. Remove peeling or flaking paint.

Older painted area’s should be cleaned before application, with water (and detergent if needed). Fill cavities with filler.

It is recommended to prime or paint any high absorbing materials (like fresh plasterboard).

Open the container and stir the contents thoroughly.

Apply Silver Sand with a flat paddle brush.

Depending on the desired effect, painting can be done vertically, horizontally, randomly, a slantwise pattern or a chevron pattern. The manner in which the paint is apply will determine the decorative effect.

Stage your paint work, by paint small area’s at a time (like 1m squared)

During and after your painting job, ventilate the room until the odour is gone.

Due to limitations of printing technology, the presented colour should be considered as approximate only. Any deviation shall not be the reason for any customer complaint.

For larger areas, use products from the same batch.

Important! Plan your work properly to use up the prepared paint as soon as possible but within 24 hours. Otherwise, it is very likely that the glittery effect will be less visible.
