Instructions
- Handy hints: Make sure you choose the correct roller sleeve for each painting job – textured surfaces such as tongue and groove and stucco will require a different roller sleeve to smooth walls. If in doubt, ask your local Resene Color Shop expert. Because stucco is so heavily textured it has a greater surface area than a flat wall so take this into account when estimating the amount of paint required.
- Top tip: When painting an exterior area, avoid working in strong wind or direct sunlight as this may cause paint to dry too quickly. In hot weather it may be necessary to use Resene Hot Weather Additive to slow the drying.
- To get the look: Mark previously painted the concrete floor with Resene Walk-on paint tinted to Resene Delta.
- Other ideas: For a fresh coastal look consider a combination of cool pastel greens or blues.
