Yes, Orac Decor products are very easy to paint , making them ideal for personalizing your interior spaces. All Orac Decor elements are pre-primed with a high-quality topcoat, which makes painting them simple while ensuring optimal adhesion.

Why are Orac products easy to paint?

1. Pre-primed :

   • Moldings, cornices, baseboards, and wall panels are coated with a high-quality primer . This allows the paint to adhere well, without requiring significant additional preparation.

2. Compatibility with different types of paint :

   • Products can be painted with almost any type of paint, including:
     • Acrylic paint (water-based): ideal for a smooth, quick-drying finish.
     • Solvent-based paint : for environments requiring increased durability.

3. 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

1. 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).

2. Protection of surrounding areas:

   • Use masking tape to protect nearby walls, ceilings or floors.

3. 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.

4. 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.
