Tikkurila Optiva 5 Scrubbable Matt for Walls & Ceilings - Colour Match

Unpainted surfaces:
New plaster and concrete substrates can be painted after 4 weeks of seasoning. Clean these surfaces from dust and dirt, smooth out irregularities and losses with putty. Gypsum boards, cardboards and putty may be painted after they are fully dry. In case when unevenness of the surface is considerable, the wall should be even with levelling mortar and afterwards apply on the whole surface smooth putty. In case of small unevenness you may apply smooth puttyat once. The use of above mentioned mortars and putty should be done according to data sheets of these products. Machine plaster with visible glossy sinter surface should be sanded and clean from dust. Then apply one coat of Tikkurila Optiva Primer.

Previously painted surfaces:
Wash the surface before coating and remove grease and dirt and loose and flaking fragments of old coat. Sand glossy surfaces and smooth out irregularities and losses with putty. Paint with gloss grade: satin, semi-matt, semi-gloss and gloss should be sanded on the whole surface before final dusting. For sanding use sanding paper with grain 150-200. Prime the whole substrate with Tikkurila Optiva Primer. The priming can be omitted only if the existing coating is perfectly preserved (the producer is not responsible for the incorrect assessment of the actual substrate).

Surfaces painted with glue or lime paint:
Remove thoroughly the lime or glue paint. Clean the surfaces from dust and dirt, smooth out irregularities and losses with putty. Then apply one coat of Tikkurila Optiva Primer. In case of loose substrate prime with Tikkurila Suprabilit.

​​To avoid possible color difference tint paint from the same production batch. Before painting, stir the paint thoroughly. Depending on substrate porosity apply 2 coats of Tikkurila Optiva Matt [5] with brush, roller or spray. For colours of particularly weak hiding power (marked within the tinting system) it may be necessary to apply additional coats. In case of applying colours marked in the tinting system as weakly hiding (LH) and intensive colours from C base, it is recommended to use priming paint Tikkurila Optiva Primer tinted to a colour close to the colour of finishing paint. The painting tape should be removed immediately after painting, before the paint will dry. Notice: paint achieves full wet scrub resistance property (according to EN 1300) after 28 days after painting.

All surfaces intended for coating must be dry, air temperature may not be lower than +5°C and not higher then +25OC, relative air humidity below 80%.
