✅ Step-by-Step Emulsion Paint Application – Sukh Paints Method

1. Surface Preparation

• Clean the wall surface: remove dirt, dust, loose paint, or algae.

• Use sandpaper to smooth out cracks, bumps, and previous paint.

• If the wall is damp, identify and fix the source of moisture first.

2. Primer Application

• Apply 1 coat of Sukh Paints water-based primer (diluted as per label instructions).

• Allow it to dry completely for 6–8 hours.

3. First Coat of Putty (If Needed)

• For very rough surfaces, apply 1–2 coats of wall putty.

• Let each coat dry for at least 6–8 hours before sanding.

4. Second Sanding

• Once putty dries, sand again with fine sandpaper to get a smooth finish.

5. Second Primer Coat

• If putty was used, apply one more coat of primer for better adhesion.

• Dry for 6–8 hours.

⚠️ Painter Scam Alert – Be Aware of These Tricks!

Some painters take advantage of customers who don’t understand the painting process. Here’s how to spot and avoid common scams:

🔸 1. Not Applying Primer or Diluting Excessively

• Some painters skip primer or dilute the paint too much to save product and finish faster.

• Tip: Always check if primer and emulsion are being mixed and used properly.

🔸 2. Fewer Coats, More Charges

• Painters may charge for 2 coats but apply only 1 or dilute the second coat.

• Tip: Supervise the work. Ask for coat-by-coat confirmation.

🔸 3. Mixing Cheap Paint

• Some mix cheap local paint with branded products.

• Tip: Always verify the bucket seal and label of Sukh Paints on-site.

• Tip: Insist on wall preparation as described above.
