BegerShield Art Effects: Rusty Look

Plaster surfaces. Step 1 Surface preparation: New plaster – let the plaster dry completely for at least 1 month, or until its moisture content is below 14%. Old plaster – scrub off deteriorated old paint; areas with mould and moss must be scrubbed with Beger MouldFree M-001. Caution: before every application, wipe the surface so it is free of dust, cement residue, grease and other dirt, or sand off all dust first. Repair and fill cracks with Beger Acrylic Filler No. 200 and sand smooth before painting, or level the surface with Skim Coat R-002 if it is very rough, then sand smooth before painting. Step 2 Primer: Apply 1 coat of BegerShield Primer No. 400 and let it dry for 2-4 hours before applying the Pearly Glaze topcoat. Primer No. 400 (white) covers 8-10 sq.m. Step 3 Topcoat: Apply 2 coats of BegerShield Art Effects 100% acrylic water-based paint (Pearly Glaze)

Steel and wood surfaces. Step 1 Surface preparation: Steel and wood: before every application, clean the wood surface so it is free of dust, grease and other dirt, or sand it smooth and remove all dust. Steel: for previously painted surfaces, sand off all deteriorated paint and rust, or use Beger Unisoft No. 9119 paint remover. Step 2 Primer: Steel: apply 1-2 coats of BegerShield B-955 red anti-rust primer and let it dry for at least 5-6 hours, followed by 1 coat of BegerShield Art Effects No. 400 primer before applying the texture paint. Wood: apply 1 coat of BegerShield B-977 aluminium primer and let it dry completely for at least 8-10 hours, followed by 1 coat of BegerShield Art Effects No. 400 primer before applying the texture paint. Step 3 Creating the pattern, Marble Touch: create the pattern with 2 coats of BegerShield Art Effects Marble Touch using a BA.43 steel trowel (surface dry time 1 hour)
