• You can wash them with detergent, so refreshing of the walls is simple.
• The surface is smooth and slippery. Therefore this paints does not attract dirt and dust – a lot of time passes before the wall covered with Lumicca Pearl will need to be cleaned.

METHOD OF APPLICATION

• Work should begin with the preparation of the substrate. It must be cleaned and primed with the right preparation, selected appropriately depending on the type of substrate and its condition. Primed surface should be allowed to dry completely.
• Apply two layers of Murimal 200 paint on the primed surface. The layer put on the wall has to be thin and flat on the entire surface. The first one should dry for six hours, the second by 12 hours, so that it will not get damaged during further works.
• Decorative layer of Lumicca Pearl paint diluted with 30% water is applied in several stages. First, you need to cover the surface with very thin layer of on an area of ​​about one square meter, and then use gloves or euromal wipe the transparent paint all over the surface of the wall. Of course, for large areas you need to create some of these “start poles”, but being careful not to apply anywhere accidentally the second layer of paint – coverage should be uniform and flat. The drying time of this layer is about 12 hours and after that time all the visual effects will be fully visible (some of the traces may be difficult to see earlier).
