Gypsum boards, cardboards and putty may be painted after they are fully dry. Machine plaster with visible glossy sinter surface should be sanded and clean from dust. Then apply one coat of before applying your Optiva 5 finishing coats.
Previously painted surfaces: Wash the surface before coating and remove grease and dirt and loose and flaking fragments of old coat. Sand glossy surfaces and smooth out irregularities and losses with putty. Paint with gloss grade: satin, semi-matt, semi-gloss and gloss should be sanded on the whole surface before final dusting. Prime the whole of substrate with before applying your Optiva 5 finishing coats.
Surfaces painted with glue or lime paint: Remove thoroughly the lime or glue paint. Clean the surfaces from dust and dirt, smooth out irregularities and losses with putty. Prime with before applying your Optiva 5 finishing coats. In case of loose substrate prime with impregnate Tikkurila Suprabilit.
If applying colours marked in tinting system as weakly hiding or intensive colours, it is recommended to use tinted to a colour close to the colour of finishing paint.

Stir thoroughly before use to ensure the paint is completely mixed.
Before application, thin if necessary, up to 5% with water, in sufficient amount of paint from one production batch to avoid possible colour difference.
Depending on substrate porosity apply 2 coats of Optiva 5 by brush, roller or spray. For colours of particularly weak hiding power it may be necessary to apply additional coats.
