The surface to be painted must be dry, the ambient temperature at least +5 °C and the relative humidity of air below 80%.

Unpainted surfaces: Clean the new surfaces by removing any dirt and dust. If necessary, level the surfaces with a suitable Presto or Spakkeli filler and sand the dried surface. Remove the sanding dust. Prime with Luja Universal Primer, Ykköspohja or Varma Primer. Prime bathroom panel ceilings with Multistop isolating primer. Previously painted surfaces: Wash the previously painted surfaces with Maalipesu or Seinäpesu detergent according to instructions and let dry. Remove any loose, flaking paint with a scraper. Sand the painted surfaces non-glossy. Remove the sanding dust. Fill any holes and cracks and level the surfaces with a suitable Presto filler. Sand the filler and remove the sanding dust. If necessary, prime with Luja Yleispohjamaali, Ykköspohja or Varma primer before finishing.

First coat:

Stir Luja finishing paint well before use. Apply 1-2 coats by roller, brush or spray.

Maintenance Painting:

Surfaces painted with Luja finishing paint can be maintenance painted with a same or similar water-borne paint. See Pretreatment.

If needed, after approx. 1 month from treating the surface, at the earliest. Clean the surfaces with a neutral (pH 6–8) cleaning solution and e.g. a soft brush, sponge or cleaning cloth. Clean very dirty surfaces with a mild alkaline (pH 8–10) cleaning solution and e.g. a cleaning cloth or sponge. After cleaning, rinse the surfaces thoroughly. Follow the dilution instructions given by the detergent manufacturer when mixing the cleaning solution. After the surface treatment, the surfaces must be handled with care for a few weeks, as the product will reach its final hardness and durability in about one month under normal conditions. If the surfaces need cleaning soon after the surface treatment, clean them lightly by using a soft brush or a damp cloth.
