Surface Preparation
Remove all loose, defective paint or powdery residues, loose chalk, dust and foreign matter. Repair cracks, uneven surfaces
with EasySKIM 5000 All Purpose Joint Compound or suitable fillers. Smoothen the putty / filler areas with sand paper.
Surfaces to be painted must be cleaned thoroughly and dry, it must be free from dirt, grease and other foreign matters.
Allow all surfaces to dry completely prior to painting. Avoid painting when the moisture content and alkalinity of the walls
are still high. (Recommended painting specification requires the moisture content of the walls to be below 16% measured
by protimeter and alkalinity of the walls to be below pH9.) Spot prime with Nippon Interior Wall Sealer.

and does not consider LOSS FACTORS.
Variables like porosity of substrate, application method, dilution ratio, dry film thickness, opacity and so on will affect the
loss factor and can vary from 30% - 50% or even more.
