At Painted Earth we know preparation is half the job. It can sometimes be more than half the job - as anyone who has stripped off an old finish will know!
Preparation dictates the quality of the final result. We have tested all the products we sell so we know they give great results. However, to get these great results it's important to follow the correct preparation and application. In our experience the majority of poor results, such as patchy finish, poor adhesion, or poor durability of a finish occur because of incorrect preparation.
Many of the products we sell are unique 'new generation' products. Assuming preparation is the same as for other products you have used can lead to mistakes (made in good faith). Reading the Technical Data Sheets is the best way to understand correct preparation for a product.
