How to Apply Indigo Exterior Emulsion (Gold Matt)

Proper preparation ensures the longevity of your exterior finish:

1. Surface Prep: Ensure the wall is clean, dry, and free of all loose paint, dust, and fungal growth. Wash the wall thoroughly.
2. Repair: Fill all fine cracks using a flexible Crack Seal product. Use Exterior Wall Putty to level major undulations.

4. Mixing: Dilute the paint with 40-50% clean water by volume. Stir thoroughly for a consistent viscosity suitable for a brush or roller.
5. Application: Apply 2-3 coats of Indigo Exterior Emulsion (Gold Matt), allowing 4-6 hours between coats. Ensure uniform application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Will a Matt finish collect more dust?
A: The difference is negligible. The Gold Series polymers are designed to be dirt-resistant, and the Matt finish helps to camouflage any dust buildup that does occur, unlike a Gloss finish which highlights dirt.

Q: Does this paint have waterproofing properties?
A: It is highly water resistant and prevents rain from penetrating. For extreme dampness, use a dedicated waterproofing basecoat like Indigo Aqua Shield first.
