Precautions
- When overcoating walls in sound condition with the same shade, 1 coat may be sufficient.
- When overcoating a dark colour with a light shade, up to 3 coats may be necessary.
- Colour selection:
- Certain shades (especially bright yellows, greens, oranges, and reds) may require an additional coat due to low opacity.
- These colours are not recommended for medium and low-cost projects.
- When applying these colours on bare plaster or over dark shades, apply a first coat of a paler shade to improve coverage.
- Refer to the colour card for details and consult the Crown Technical Department for guidance.
