What You’ll Need:

Before you get started, gather these essentials:

• Plascon Polvin paint (your chosen colour)

• Paint tray and roller or brush

• Painter’s tape

• Drop cloths or plastic sheeting

• Wall filler or crack sealant (if needed)

• Sandpaper

• Damp cloth or sponge

• Primer (if painting on raw or patched surfaces)

How to Apply Plascon Polvin Paint – Step by Step

1. Prep the Room

• Move furniture and cover floors with drop cloths.

• Use painter’s tape around skirtings, light switches, and ceiling edges.

2. Prepare the Walls

• Clean the walls to remove dust, grease, or marks.

• Fill any cracks or holes with filler and sand smooth once dry.

• Wipe down the surface to remove sanding dust.

🔎 Note: If painting over dark colours or raw plaster, apply a primer first for best results.

3. Stir and Pour

• Stir the Plascon Polvin thoroughly to ensure even pigment distribution.

• Pour a manageable amount into your tray.

4. Cut In Edges First

• Use a brush to paint around edges, corners, and trim areas before rolling the larger sections.

5. Roll the Walls

• Use a roller to apply the first coat in a W-pattern to prevent streaks.

• Let dry for 2–4 hours (check the label for exact drying time).

• Apply a second coat for even, long-lasting coverage.

Finishing Touches

Once dry, remove painter’s tape carefully. Clean your brushes and rollers with water. Then—step back and enjoy the transformation!
