How to Apply Asian Paints Apcolite Advanced Shyne Interior Emulsion
Achieving the best sheen requires careful surface prep, as high gloss highlights imperfections. Follow these steps:
- Surface Preparation: Ensure the wall is absolutely clean, dry, and level. Use wall putty to fill all minor dents and sand thoroughly with 320-grit paper.
- Priming: Apply 1 coat of Asian Paints TruCare Interior Wall Primer. Priming is crucial for adhesion and uniform sheen.
- Dilution: Mix **Asian Paints Apcolite Advanced Shyne Interior Emulsion** with clean water (40%-50% dilution). Stir well. Learn how advanced acrylics provide toughness and sheen.
- Application: Apply 2-3 coats using a high-quality brush or roller (preferably a smooth foam roller for minimal texture). Allow 3-4 hours drying time between coats.
- Final Finish: Roll or brush gently on the final pass, applying minimal pressure to ensure the highest possible sheen.
