How To Cover Dark Colours On Your Wall In One Coat

Step 1: Cover Furniture And Carpets

Cover furniture and carpets, and keep windows and doors fully open to ensure good ventilation during the application and drying processes.

Step 2: Clean And Dry

In all cases, ensure the wall is clean, dry, and free from loose material before applying any Polycell BaseCoat Complete.

Step 3: Stir Product

Start by stirring the product and decanting into a roller tray for easy roller loading.

Step 4: Apply To Wall

After touching in corners and edges with a brush, apply to the wall using a short power roller, ensuring long, even strokes.

Step 5: Remove Splashes And Dry

Remove any splashes immediately, and then leave the wall to dry for four to six hours before overpainting with your choice of emulsion.
