INFORMATION

Intelligent Matt Emulsion, a premium, low-odor, matte finish, is now enhanced with cutting-edge Intelligent Grip™ technology. This new development brings primer technology to the topcoat, with no compromise on finish and no need for a separate primer. Transform a room with just one can of paint, minimizing laborious preparation, additional costs, packaging and paint waste.

Preparation

  • General: Remove any surface imperfections and repair any defects to ensure a top finish.
  • Existing paint finish: Remove all loose and flaking paint. Degrease with a suitable detergent solution, then rinse with clean water. Sand thoroughly with medium grit sandpaper, e.g. 120-150 grit, to create a smooth, defect-free surface, focusing more on areas where paint has been removed. Make repairs properly and sand. Old high gloss paints and especially satin finishes should be sanded to achieve adhesion. Old Matt paints exposed to high humidity conditions may have degraded over time and should be primed with a coat of Little Greene Intelligent Matt Emulsion diluted 5 to 25% (by volume) with water to ensure the surface is sealed and properly sealed.
  • New walls: For newly rendered surfaces, allow at least four weeks for the render to dry thoroughly. Apply a coat of primer by diluting Intelligent Matt Emulsion with 5 to 25% (by volume) water, depending on the porosity of the substrate. Finish by applying two full coats of Intelligent Matt Emulsion. This product is not suitable for painting over lime-based or other natural plaster substrates.
  • Existing walls: Lightly wash any existing paint to remove any dust or surface stains. Apply one coat of Little Greene Intelligent Matt Emulsion as a primer, thinning by adding 5 to 25% (by volume) water, depending on the porosity of the substrate. Finish by applying at least two full coats of Intelligent Matt Emulsion as required. For a significant change in colour scheme, it is strongly recommended that a first coat of Little Greene Intelligent ASP Multi-Surface Primer is applied.
  • New Wood: Unpreserved softwood timber should be treated with a suitable wood preservative. In softwoods, knots should be sealed with a suitable product to prevent the release of moisture into the finished surface. Resinous hardwoods will require cleaning. Ensure the moisture content of the timber is below 15% before commencing application. Wet wood should never be painted as this can cause blistering, peeling, cracking and premature coating failure. Green oak should not be painted unless it has been exposed to the outside and dried for at least 6 months.
  • Metals: New ferrous/non-ferrous metals should be cleaned by hand or power tool to remove any surface rust prior to application. Bare or corroded iron or steel will require treatment with 2 coats of Little Greene Intelligent ASP Primer.
  • Plastics: For long-term performance and durability, clean and abrade all surfaces thoroughly. For best results, apply one coat of Little Greene Intelligent ASP Multi-Surface Primer.

 

Application

  • Stir well before use.
  • Do not apply to surfaces when the ambient temperature is below 8°C.
  • Brushing: Always use high quality synthetic bristle brushes that are the right size for the job. Apply Intelligent Matt Emulsion in even strokes and only extend the paint area so that a wet edge is easily maintained. For a higher quality finish, apply final strokes in the same direction and do not re-apply where the paint has already started to dry. For intricate objects or when high ambient temperatures/or high airflow conditions cannot be avoided, the pot life can be extended by adding 10 to 15% (by volume) water.
  • Roller: Use a short pile fur paint roller for best results on smooth surfaces. Increase the size of the roller pile when there are rougher surfaces. Keep all final roller strokes always in the same direction, maintaining a wet edge throughout and do not re-roll over areas where the Intelligent Matt Emulsion has already started to dry as there is a serious risk of streaking. Where high ambient temperatures/or high air flow conditions cannot be avoided, the workability time can be extended by adding 10 to 15% (by volume) water.
