HOW DO I PREPARE?

    
1) Remove as much furniture as possible.
2) Cover the rest of the other surfaces, for example, with newspapers or a plastic sheet.
3) Protect light switches, electrical sockets, window frames and woodwork with strips of masking tape.
4) Remove flaking and unstable paint film with a scraper. Then sand the surface for a smooth finish. Dust off.
5) Patch up cracks or uneven surfaces with appropriate filler. When filler is dry, sand the filler with sandpaper for a smooth finish. Dust off.
6) Wash or clean thoroughly the surfaces to be painted with water. Everything must be allowed to dry thoroughly prior to painting.
Always remember - before painting, your surfaces must be clean, grease-free and thoroughly dry. You may paint over an existing surface is the old paint is intact and not peeling.
