How to Apply Asian Paints TruCare Sparc Primer

Even an economy primer needs proper application for the best results:

1. Surface Preparation: Sand the surface with 180-grit sandpaper to remove loose particles. The wall must be dust-free. Learn why priming is a crucial step.
2. Dilution: Dilute Asian Paints TruCare Sparc Primer with clean water in a 1:1 ratio. Stir well to remove any lumps.
3. Application: Apply a single coat using a brush or roller. Ensure the entire surface is covered.
4. Drying: Allow it to dry for 4-6 hours before applying putty or paint.
5. Finish: If needed, apply wall putty to level the wall, sand it, and then apply a second coat of primer for better finish quality.
