- Solvent-based paint : for environments requiring increased durability.
Smooth and uniform surface :
- The finish of the material (Purotouch®, Duropolymer®, etc.) is smooth and without visible pores, facilitating the application of the paint and providing an impeccable result.
Steps for painting Orac Decor products
Surface preparation:
- Clean the moldings with a soft cloth to remove any dust or residue.
- Make sure the joints between the elements are perfectly smooth (use DecoFix Extra FX210 if necessary to fill the gaps, then sand lightly).
Protection of surrounding areas:
- Use masking tape to protect nearby walls, ceilings or floors.
Choice of paint:
- Choose a good quality paint suitable for your project (interior or exterior, if applicable).
- For damp areas, choose a moisture-resistant paint.
Application :
- Apply the paint in a thin layer using a brush, roller or paint gun.
- Wait for the first coat to dry (as recommended by the paint manufacturer) before applying a second coat for an even finish.
Additional benefits:
- Easy Customization : Orac Decor products can be painted to match any color palette or to create visual contrasts.
- Tailoring to specific projects : You can use specialty paints, such as fire retardant paints or metallic finishes, to meet specific needs.
- Increased resistance : Quality paint protects moldings and baseboards against stains, scratches, and daily wear and tear.
Tips for optimal results:
- If the paint appears too thick or brush lines appear, thin the paint slightly (according to the manufacturer's instructions).
- Use a foam roller for large areas or a fine brush for details and intricate reliefs.
- For products installed around lights or in high exposure areas, opt for UV-resistant or reflective paint.
Conclusion :
Orac Decor products are designed to be easy to paint, making them an ideal option for custom decorating projects. With their high-quality primer, smooth surface and compatibility with various paint types, you can achieve a flawless finish with little effort.
